    The OA

    The finale was totally out of left field. The entire rest of the show had been pretty cohesive (outside of the awkwardness). My only complaints before that were that it was kind of slow, and a lot of the characters acted quite unrealistically at times (I think Prairie's parents were the worst...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I think that's the biggest thing. Having 2 weeks off is just too much for a playoff run. Resting your starters for week 17, not playing in round 1, and then expecting to be ready for the divisional round seems like a bad idea.

    The OA

    I'm sorry! In my defense, the show really was intriguing. The first few episodes I was like, "damn, I can't wait to see where this goes." But then, well, it got to the "fucky" part (in my edit on the 2nd post). Had they cut out some of the idiocy and written the characters a bit better, it...

    The OA

    The high school student shit was definitely ridiculous and really hurt the first episode. Luckily for most of the rest of it, that didn't play much part in the show; it was there, but in short enough sequences to not be too jarring. In fact, my wife had started watching it and I saw the 2nd half...

    Was kind of hoping that Dallas would take care of the Bucs today.

    The OA

    It's good and compelling for the first few episodes. It draws you in with mysteries that you hope get some resolution. But it's completely ridiculous and poorly done, unfortunately. I think it could've been really good with just a few changes to how the characters were written (and a complete...

    The OA

    Stranger Things, this is not. It had an interesting enough premise to keep me watching, hoping for more. But no, this wasn't good. At all. Characters were written poorly, and the plot was kind of shit.

    The OA

    Another Neflix original, released today 12/16. I'm not actually all that sure what I should post, because it all seems spoilery. I'm only two episodes in, and I watched half of the trailer and I regret how spoilery it is as well. But this one looks like it will be another one that knocks it out...

    Survivor

    Does anyone else think Probst may have had a bit too much influence on the day 36 immunity challenge? He was really going hard on Jay through the entire thing. They talked a lot at that tribal about how mentally fucked these people had become, and to have someone yelling for the entire...

    Survivor

    When he was making it, I was just like, "Ugh, another fake idol play. Seen this one before." Then he found the coconut and started hiding it and I was speechless at the genius of it. My only qualm was he made it WAY too obvious. Had Adam found it I think he would've been immediately suspicious...

    Survivor

    I've got to say, David's fake idol was fucking masterful. And if I were on the jury, I'm not sure I could have voted for Hannah after voting out Bret over David. It worked out, but was a terrible move. I was pretty neutral between Ken and Adam. I think Ken should have played up his idol wins...

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    Not sure I agree with that article. It's more than likely growing pains. Top Gear was honed over more than 20 seasons. We're comparing a show in its first season to one that had years to perfect itself. Now, obviously they're not starting from scratch since this essentially is, "Top Gear part...

    Robin Thicke's dad died today. RIP Mr. Seaver. Also, fucking weird that he just tweeted about Fuller House 4 hours ago. Man, life's a bitch. One minute you're tweeting about Fuller House, the next you're dead.

    You could say the same thing about denying creeps and towers, too. I mean, killing your own creeps? That's insanity! But it's part of the mechanics of DOTA that make it DOTA. Pulling is a legitimate strategy to deny the enemy hero experience and gold. It also allows you to control lane...

    CHRISTMAS EDITION Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Both. Disneyland (and probably WDW too) decorates with Nightmare Before Christmas starting at the end of September and lasts until New Years. Also, fuck you all saying Christmas Vacation is overrated. I'll agree on Family Man being underrated.

    DOTA 2

    I played a second game yesterday, and I think most of my complaints actually come down to the HUD/UI. Everything is small (or maybe I'm just too old?); items, shops, health/mana bars, skills...it's just too difficult to look at them really quickly in a game that is so fast paced. Then the stuff...

    I don't like it. Hard to see anything. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but it's just everything is stupidly hard to see. And the map seems way too complicated (spawn times wtf?). And yeah, same issue with chat here. Couldn't communicate at all. Messages were there, but never popped up. Had to...

    So this does get released on the main client today, right? I was pretty sure that's what they said, but I wanted to double check (it hadn't been patched as of about an hour ago).

    Purge analysis is hilarious. He's never going to finish this. It's literally been like 10 minutes on Brewmaster...and he's still going.

    So the Monkey King map looks fucking awesome. I'm not paying $13 for it, but yeah... Really disappointed. Last night, I played my last "old school" DOTA 2 match, and I randomed Gyro. I actually used to love Gyro too, but man he's such a dog shit hero right now. Was kind of a sad last game to...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Reminds me of those old NFL films blooper shows they used to have. As for the Niners, has there ever been a fall from a contender as fast as they have had? I mean, they were in 3 straight NFC championships, and now they're one of the worst teams in the league in just 2 years.

    That's way less than half. Even the lower section seems to be about 1/3 full. Include the top and it's probably like 15-20%.

    Is it all T2's, or just the one in that lane (I'm assuming there's one in each lane?)?

    DOTA 2

    I honestly can't figure out much without being able to get in game (and not going to download test client). Anyway, I doubt we'll see jungle heroes because the respawn is 2 minutes now. Although, there are also 4 jungles now.

    DOTA 2

    From the Slacks/SunsFan/Bulba stream... Lycan gives +200hp to team shit, and Slacks is like, "what about Broodlings?" Sure enough, it works. Lycan + Broodmother night 1 rax.

    They also made the game a lot harder to pick up. It's already been kind of ridiculously complicated, but now the additional shit is -- overwhelming.

    Lots of conjecture. Could be a massive change to the map, new (now-WC3) heroes, updated UI, rework to mechanics. There's really no telling.
