    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    I caught that too. I think they just had good segments every single time. They actually did a real "the news" for the first time in what feels like forever, the challenge was really good and hilarious, and I enjoy the F1 drivers more than random celebrities. I was about to complain about...

    The Walking Dead

    It bothered me that we have dozens of episodes where they can't seem to make it more than 20 miles from Atlanta. 30 seconds into the episode we get "Well, we've made it 500 miles without any problems, only 10 more to go!" Get the fuck out of here...

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    I don't know why, but that seemed to be one of the most enjoyable Top Gear's I've watched in a while (not that I don't normally enjoy it). I'm amazed at that 1:42:2. I remember watching the 1:42:9(?) and thinking that was insanely fast looking.

    The Birdman (Michael Keaton!)

    Your mention of gimmick reminds me about Boyhood. I feel like they're both incredibly similar movies. They're ok movies with a really good gimmick. If you take away the gimmick though, does anyone give a shit about the movie anymore? In both cases the answer was no for me.

    The Birdman (Michael Keaton!)

    After reading the Oscar thread I thought this movie was going to be some amazing masterpiece. I'm glad there are a few people in this thread who weren't overly impressed. Keaton was decent, Norton was amazing at the beginning. Otherwise though, the story wasn't particularly captivating.

    Yeah, I don't even put forth the effort to the 3 daily tasks anymore unless they're Arena/Vortex/Fuse. If it's evolve or a quest zone I just say screw it. What do I need a summon ticket or sphere frog for anyway? I've got like 4 or 5 frogs, and nothing to summon for. The game is slowly dying...

    Yeah, I don't give a shit about the elemental vortexes. They're terrible. The units suck and the spheres suck. Plus, I have Mariudeth, Kuhla, Reeze, Belfura, Rickel, Signas, and Karl/Selena (assuming they get their 6 and 7* forms respectively) that would probably go on my team before Arius.

    Las Vegas

    Yeah, we ate at the Aria buffet just because we wanted to do one and were tired of waiting in lines. We went right after Cirque since it's just down the hall. It was good, but not super exciting. Our preference would have been to do Caesar's or Wicked Spoon.

    I thought this was the new expected weather in winter for the US? Global warming has made the rest of the planet miserably hot, but our winters will become snow-fests.

    I've probably had about that many. Only ever kept an anima one though. And once again, it's a unit I maxed out that will never be used a single time.

    The reddit spreadsheet shows about 8-9% for each unit, or probably around 25% total chance. That's pretty bad luck to do 12 without seeing a single one. I'm still tempted to summon for a Rosetta, but I think I did close to 20 already, and I've got Vanberk and Zergel both as anima. Seems...

    I got a Hadaron when I was trying for Rosetta a few weeks ago. Don't see ever using him as leader. What's his BC gen on that SBB? If it's 2 or 3, that's pretty damn good. I might consider swapping out Orna for him. Not sure what her damage modifier is, but 600% is fucking awesome for a 6* unit.

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    Why is it always incredibly unattractive women that rally against rape? Are they trying to prove that there's a possibility someone might actually want to rape them? Because usually they're wrong.

    Rosetta is Deemo's LS (BB gauge fills on spark, super OP) plus Elza's SBB. Lignes is a water version of Ulkina, but slightly better. Lignes's half isn't out yet though. The rest aren't worth bothering with. They're all basically side-grade units. Vanberk (fire) is an ok crit buffer and...

    I ended up with a lord Selena. I even gemmed once because I was so desperate. But I guess lord will have to work. I have a guardian Vargas and oracle Atro, so I really need to replace them. I should also say that my Eze is guardian, but it was the starter I picked and rolled with it because I...

    They really did these dungeons in the worst possible order for me. I needed Selena, Vargas, and Atro. Each dungeon runs 48 hours with a 24 hour overlap. I spent the first 48 hours trying for Selena, which means now my next 24 is spent on Vargas, and the last on Atro; as opposed to getting closer...

    This is actually pretty true. Every year for a decade I've heard people talking about the Redskins and Cowboys going into the offseason and how precarious their cap situation is. Come training camp and they've moved money around and there's absolutely no issue.

    Really? It felt like it rained a ton in Southern California. It probably didn't though and it was just in contrast to the last few years. It's going to be around 80 later this week. Feels too early for that shit. Fucking groundhog didn't consult us before making his forecast.

    Didn't Lynch start on the Bills or something? He'll probably retire after a year of being on a non-competitive team. I'm curious to see what happens with the Seahawks. If they implode because all of their talent needs to get paid and they have no replacements, it means the Redskins got the...

    I'm not sure why Redskins fans are all over Morris's nuts. Sure, he had a great rookie year, but he doesn't really impress me that much. And really, I attribute his rookie year more to Shanahan bringing in the ZBS since he's taken dozens of shitty backs and made them into 1000 yard rushers. I...

    Also in case anyone missed it, there's a rate up for Cardes trial units; Shera, Semira, Darvanshel, Nalmika, Luther, Faris, Exvehl and Melchio. Not sure if Gumi deserves praise for leaving Priscilla off that list.

    Just FYI, Tridon is currently bugged for Zebra (or vice versa?). If you have Tridon buff up and mitigation, none of your units will die to the 54k damage. Or just YOLO itFinishing Cardes in Four Turns : bravefrontier

    I didn't watch much of the Seattle games, but I didn't think they ran the triple option as much once Harvin left. I'm not sure a the triple option is really worth a shit at the goal line though. It works better when the linebackers are spaced out more and the safeties are covering deep. That...

    The Lynch argument ignores the fact that Wilson was also raping them on bootlegs all game. In fact, that would've been the smartest play. Do a fake handoff to Lynch and roll Wilson out on a bootleg to the weak side to run it in. If there's a defender and he doesn't think he can make it, toss it...

    I almost did the same by accident. Changed Grah for Tridon in first squad and got Cardes to 70%. 2nd squad I went with Lilly and Grah and it went much easier. Orna just doesn't produce enough BC. Semira would have really helped, because Nalmika just isn't that good. Or if they would have...
