    Yeah there were plans to do GB3 for years. The video game essentially was GB3 and even with the voice recordings being done separately, Murray was a huge pain in the ass over working in anything involving Ramis again and a bunch of special accommodations had to be made to get that game's voice...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Start jacking it like you are 14 again before she locates you. Do not let your hormones give her any openning. You got your clean break. Keep it that way.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    It lets the vets build endurance (less injury) and defenses get their timing down. Its also evident that the players general aversion to extra workouts has actually increased their risk (duh) so I have zero sympathy for the injury pile up. Thats what you get for having a high risk job and not...

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Rolling back to the Bill Murray thing, he really was two different people/actors over his career. When he lost his shit during the making of Groundhog Day with Ramis and shut him out of his life, his persona and career went a completely different trajectory. Without Wes Anderson, I think...

    Star Wars Squadrons

    Ok I admit I am behind on news for it and the preorder "bonuses" made it look like a MT Fest at the time, but you are probably right. But for 40 bucks I will throw on my VR helmet and zap terrorists for Pappa Palpatine. But I think you are probably right Mist. Its likely going to suck...

    Star Wars Squadrons

    I got it for PS4, but intend to mainly just play the single player. I remember enough what a grief fest XvT and XW Alliance were like to not want to touch the MP in this, especially since it looks like a microtransaction fest already. I wish I still had my flight stick, but I think I might...

    Force 10 from Navaronne- Great old school WW2 movie and it has a young Carl Wethers and Harrison Ford in it. Loved it as a kid and it stands up well today. Rock and Rule- Obscure animated music movie from the 80s. Some interesting visuals and great Lou Reed numbers, but mostly a low rent...

    Final Fantasy 16

    They actually fucked up Dragons Dogma by trying to turn it into an MMO. ITs amazing how devs with great IPs seem so hellbent on giving people the complete opposite of what they want these days.

    How to handle a bad VP

    If that other tech is your friend (you said you liked him personally), it sure seems like he tried to sell you up the river to save his own ass. Only mistake I can see is losing your cool, but you said yourself you were conflicted about your desire to do your job and desire to not ruin another...

    Wasteland 3

    So wife and I finally finished up our MP playthrough and some thoughts after beating it: Weapon balance is all over the place, but mostly manages to be fun. Assault Rifles and all Heavy Weapons basically suck balls, with the exception of the very early parts. This is largely due to the fact...

    Perfect. A smug cunty black woman to go with the smug cunty white woman. May as well just call the thing Team Karen at this point.

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    The Cherry Pit scene and the firearm demonstration were different from that character, but I can see the comparison. The goofy style was part of its charm, though. I mean if you showed people in the 50s what fashion trends would be like in the 80s they would think it was goofy and over the...

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Matrix worked at the time because it had a lot of unique visual elements and cyberpunk as a genre had not made it to the masses yet (or at least not since the original Blade Runner) in anything resembling a good movie. I really think it was one of those "at the right place at the right time"...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Of the three you mention, I think the Vikings are the worst. They have only been in control of a game once this season and pissed away a two score lead to Ryan fucking Tannehill. They might have the worst D in the entire NFL which is really saying something this year. Lions have looked...

    Final Fantasy 16

    FF12 is basically star wars with several character arcs. First is the two kids in an occupied nation. Then there is the disgraced knight and abandoned princess seeking revenge. Then is Fran and Leading Man trying to unfuck things his father unleashed on the world. The finale is basically the...

    The Boys

    She is Captain Marvel (the real one they call Shazam now) actually. I think she is on or close enough to his level that it would be a close fight. My theory is the same as others, in that she and the Vought CEO are basically allies of convenience. CEO wants to make money, she is the actual...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Yeah this might be the worst the NFC Least has been in a decade and that is really saying something. Other concerning thing is how shitty most Defenses are. Its like we are playing in the steroid era of baseball with the amount of points being scored.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Wilson will likely get the MVP award this year, if for no other reason than Seattle D sucking so bad he has to hold up the whole team himself. But I think two people who deserve consideration are likely Newton and Rivers. Both guys are essentially revitalizing their careers and the offenses...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I think the idea behind MVP is the guy who makes the most difference in if his team wins or loses. In the past when he had Lynch to lean on and that ridiculous defense, Wilson could not really make that claim as decisively. I think he can make a better argument for it now, especially with the...

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    David Grohl is an amazing talent and arguably one of the best drummers of the modern era (source- his contributions to QotSA), but yeah Nirvana is not otherwise remarkable in terms of talent. They were at the right place at the right time with the right song to set off the grunge era...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    "It was her turn." But seriously, the lack of votes probably has everything to do with Wilson not getting them close to a ring since Lynch packed his bags and the fact that everyone who plays with him hates him. Also, his signature move of "toss it deep and wait for the flag" grates on a lot...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    He always has a great season any year he dumps his beard and starts hitting the D hard again. But also he has been injury prone lately and is getting up there in age, so I can see him not being considered top five prior to the season. But on the other hand he has done everything Russel Wilson...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    As a Packer Fan, I am obviously happy they are 2-0 with a pair of division wins. LaFleur clearly met Rogers halfway on the run pass balance (I think we have been damn near 50% this season) and is letting him open things up more. The Offensive Line is clicking. The Defense is suspect at the...

    Microsoft buys Fallout creator Bethesda for $7.5bn

    Bethesda has it in their heads that every game needs to be a shitty MMO lite online grind fest lately. Until there is a clear indication they are finally making a new fucking engine and developing a pure standalone Elder Scrolls, I am done with that franchise entirely.

    Microsoft buys Fallout creator Bethesda for $7.5bn

    The irony here is that the one IP that I actually still gave the slightest fuck about at Bethesda fucked up so bad with Fallout 76 that I have zero incentive to get an Xboner. Had FO76 never existed, they probably would have gotten my money to buy a new console for FO5. And I know I am far...

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    I had a friend who was into them early, like Cocks and Socks tour era who clued me in to them. I generally agree that when Rick Rubin and Smith joined was the shift, I just think it took them an album to iron out a new sound without it being all samey mainstreamish. Case in point, I think...

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    And Justice For all, speaking as someone who is not really into metal per se but a musician, was just not anything I really enjoyed. Black, for all its sell out nature and other flaws, was something you could listen to and not want to skip over for the most part. I personally prefer Ride the...

    Overrated Albums of the 90s.

    Overrated: REM Automatic for the People- Outside of Drive, it was all overplayed samey shit that annoyed the hell out of me to listen to. I _MIGHT_ have liked Man on the Moon if it had not been overplayed by 1000% at the time. And you could not fucking watch 20 minutes of MTV without...

    Wasteland 3

    Well, the pendulum went the other way after ARs were the super weapon of the previous game. Wife and I are about halfway through and its just fucking pointless to use them. I feel pretty much the exact same way about rocket based weapons, at least past the initial few points of the game. They...

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Edit- And about Aliens 2, it took the whole franchise in a more action less horror direction, but it stands out to me as the quintessential 80s action sci-fi movie (along with Predator) and holds up fairly well to the present. Biggest problem I have with it is that if you do not see the...

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Biggest problem with Alien 3 was that Dark Horse had some amazing ideas in comic book form for where to take the series, like Earth War, that never got realized because they decided to not use those ideas and just make a prison reboot of the first alien movie. Now, there were some good things...

    Final Fantasy 16

    FF4 had Summons as major plot points, as did FF6 to a lesser degree. Having said that, if they have such a fucking hardon to make an action RPG they should use FF12 as the template for that instead of trying to make Generic Action Single Character RPG in FF Setting. The setting at least looks...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I guess that means Fallout is officially dead forever, at least as a single player experience. Now watch them sue InExile into the ground over Wasteland violating their IP.

    Well considering I met my wife playing EQ, I cannot poop on online dating entirely I guess. But the swipe generation just seems so shallow that I have a hard time seeing those sites (specifically the ones you listed) as more than meat markets.
