    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I haven't, although I think it was being talked about/out in Europe last year when Harvey forced me to replace all of my monitors/TVs that were sitting on my desks in my office. According to Rtings its faster than the X720E, 9.x ms to 18.x ms lag but no HDR, not that I use it anyway. The base...

    new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 cards released

    I have been using 43" TVs as monitors for years and can't really go back to something smaller. That means once you hit 60fps min at 95%+ of playtime, the rest is just gravy/insurance. I have a 1080ti with an overclocked 6700k at 4.5-4.7ghz, use a 4k Sony 720E 43" TV as my main prod monitor...

    Aquaman (2018)

    What? Tons of CGI? How dare they have tons of CGI in a movie about a man who swims like a fish and is the King of Atlantis? It all has to be practical effects or its just more Hollywood garbage, I say. /adjusts fedora

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    The politics are up there on the screen, Scream. The whole Canto Bight sequence? Admiral Mauvehair EveningDress? I didn't have anything negative to say about KK but she has a terrible track record with directors and has managed to divide one of the most loyal fanbases in cinema history. I...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Thing is, even if it was as good as the OT movies (they aren't), you can't make a 1977 movie in 2018 and have it judged the same way. Part of the reason for that is that the previous movies have already blazed those trails. ROTJ is a bad candidate out the OT anyway: Lucas is tired of the...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    "Play" being the operative word; I was an original backer in what? 2012? Sheesh. I should check and see what ever happened to that. My daughter was less than a year old then; Now she is about to go into the 2nd grade.

    I should have realized your intention was probably that as well. Given the way my post incidentally appeared right after V's, I just assumed. My apologies. This is either a bad ad troll or a great AI.

    Sharona, not Vanessa. And in Vanessa's case, if you are going to put that much work into it, unless you are talking about medical conditions/genetics/biology, you can call yourself whatever you like.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I saw it yesterday and thought it was pretty good, and felt like it was both a much better Star Wars movie and a palette cleanser after Last Jedi. Most of my issues with the movie were with the third act, and I don't know who said it but "half of the Star Wars movies are now prequels based upon...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Anything that brings in SJW "All New/All Different" Marvel can DIAF. I don't care if they cast all the above without pants; as that noted philosopher Kirk Lazarus indicated, you never go full retard and you never bring in characters that are virtue-signal gender swaps of existing characters...

    Poll Tyen vs Trex - Choose Your Side!

    Not voting but feeling genuine sorrow for people I admittedly didn't have a lot of sympathy for prior. Good on Tyen for hopefully working his way out of this. This sucks even for the bad guys, though.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I know you get this but the whole purpose of the stones is to violate the laws of physics. You are rolling forward/back Time, magnifying Power, altering Reality, folding Space, dominating Minds... Oh, sorry, I didn't see this room was already taken. /dogpile

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    None of that has anything to do with if Infinity War is a complete movie or not. Your link? Please. This movie didn't end on a cliffhanger, really, despite the way the audience, including myself, felt walking out of it. Regardless of movies that came before it or those movies we know to be...

    Well, they didn't stick the landing IMO, but it overall was a great reason to subscribe to YouTube Red, and now no more commercials.

    Through Episode 5, this is fucking magnificent. So well made and so much pathos. Thanos and Johnny Lawrence? What else does this year hold?

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    He probably wasn't in this one because A) it was the plan all along due to having 28 characters for which to have to find space B) he broke his arm filming the movie "Tag" right before/when the shooting for this started and his cameo had to be pushed back or re-written out.

    This; there is a number of times watching this I felt bad for parents taking kids to see this opening day. It's like going to see Coco and finding out Coco is on Schindler's List.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    This was a post I wrote on another forum but certainly captures a large chunk of my thoughts about the movie Are we really still doing spoilers?: I don't so much care about one character but All New, All Different bleeding over from the comics to the MCU would be the end. Also, the real super...

    Ni No Kuni II

    Just started Chapter 7 on the PC and am having the best time with this game. Wasn't familiar with the series at all and am not the biggest JRPG fan (I think FF X was the last one I played). In 4k its one of the most beautiful games I have ever seen; a Studio Ghibli film come life at m&kb (I...

    Kevin Smith Suffers Massive Heart Attack (Feb '18).

    Really glad he is going to pull through. I have a great affection for him, even though he can be out there some times. He had such a great run, and can be so insightful and smart, its a total package thing. He has genetics going against him; this is the same thing that killed his dad. The...

    Black Panther (2018)

    This. As indicated above, other than some really clunky lines (colonizer, bury me at sea, WHAZZZUPP, etc.) Black Asgard was good but not one of Marvel's transcendent best.

    True Detective

    Also time and turf; Nic Pizzolatto is from SW Louisiana and worked on the ideas behind the first season for years (10ish? IIRC) before it came out. When they announced the turn around for season 2 was so short, I wondered if they were going to have time to put the genie back in the bottle. The...

    Misunderstood pro football player donates an Xbox to a cancer ward

    A year is just too long, in my opinion. Back in the day, Ut was basically unbearable in MMO threads, unnecessarily scourged devs and salted the FOH earth. Since the thing with Curt, though, he has made such a significant turn around I actually enjoy seeing him in threads. Now there might be...

    Dude getting the shit kicked out of him there by Colin Farrell is a guy with which I went to high school, several years younger than I am; he's a great dude, currently wrapping up a stint on NCIS LA, I think.

    Bright (2017)

    Eh, there were some moments where it seemed kind of rote buddy cop flick, to be sure. There were some great moments in it as well, such as Will Smith's slo-mo shooting shown in the trailer and all that surrounds it. This movie, compare and contrast to the TLJ, has improved in my consideration...

    Bright (2017)

    I watched this tonight more because of the critic to audience rating discrepancy than anything else. I liked it. It was good/OK, 7 to 8 out of 10. I don't know if I would have Ayer direct the next one; he seems to be stuck in a rut, and while this movie was good (just good) the best part of...

    Houston, moving there.

    We leased a house in Montrose after the flood while we raise/repair our house, so central ups the chance I could attend. We are ultra-busy on the weekends until after New Year's now, though but ping me and I will see if I can't sneak out for a while if its close. EDIT: Count me in 2018.

    I love the show, I think it looks amazing, I can't believe the cast they got for this, so many home runs. The show has seemed to lay it on thick politically at times but as Kiroy says, for all intents and purposes, so what? I will excuse some of that for a while for a show I enjoy. All of...
