I really, really liked Gang Leader for a Day.

Older fatter substance abusing John Conner would be easy to tell a story with. He got crushed by the weight of his destiny as the messiah. One of the better ideas I saw someone float involving Conner was that in the future the human resistance used John Conner as a code name. The machines knew...

It's sorta dumb but I try and keep a notebook and pencil nearby when I'm listening to something so I can take some notes. If the book isn't connecting with me 100% my ability to keep things straight goes right in to the goddamn shitter. It's also easier to retain cool passages or new words if I...

It's the most any piece of media has ever pandered to me ever. Felt good.

What I want after this season is for the United States government to just start scooping up these people. You've got this collection of citizens that have been through three major incursions without dying up to and including direct confrontation with extra dimensional Lovecrafting horrors...

Good to see Cracky Chan is finding work Joking aside I found her uncannily familiar throughout the entire season.

My hate for her steadily declined but yeah, her recurring bit with the samples was rough. I was fucking baffled by it. It was an ugly little stereotype to see not only slip its way in but stick around for a few repetitions. There were a few more awkward conversations than I would have liked...

I hear their bowling team was lit. Best in the county.

They tell you to use a #2 pencil but there's an exploit where mechanical pencils work just fine.

I think you could do a cool remake of it set in the internet age as our main character chases weirder and weirder porn before getting caught up in an MKULTRA program and made in to an assassin that is then double turned and kills himself after completing his rewritten objective.

From Beyond is an experience but it's hard to recommend it as anything other than a weird spectacle. My go-to for weird shit recommendations is Videodrome. It's disturbing with a message in there somewhere.

It's one of my favorite horror films but as a kid it scared the fuck out of me. It was probably the first time I was exposed to Lovecraftian ideas and I find its use of repetition unsettling to this day.

In a competive game like League of Legends or MTG than the thing you want to do may be shitty/sub-optimal/objectively horrendous thus the things other people are doing may keep you from having a good time. It's tough to imagine an online multiplayer game in which the 1% had less impact on the...

Whoa there Charles Hemingway, keep that shit in a spoiler tag lest it become real.

Is Asmongold doing it on normal then?

The amount of preparation undertaken by the competitive guilds in conjunction with the number of pulls required to complete a content cycle put the whole thing so far out of reach I find it easier to dream about going in to professional wrestling at 40 than be in a top 100 WoW guild.

Jokes aside I find it so strange to see that raiding in a MMO as mainstream as World of Warcraft has developed in to a thing that is just not for me at all. So are the first few weeks of Mythic just the e-sports tier now?

I haven't seen it but I have seen two of the director's prior films Blue Ruin and Green Room and they were both a trip. I'd recommend them both.

It took 19 years but I've finally stumbled in to a conversation about how ridiculous level one wands are.

The first one is definitely generic and the second one looks to continue and solidify a very lame formula of "let me just brew up a couple potions that all happen to be useful as fuck later on" but with book three forward they're gold. The only one I didn't really like was Ghost Story but even...

Finished "Summer of Night" by Dan Simmons. He's the author of The Terror, the book about a failed expedition in to the arctic that became the AMC show. Summer of Night is about a group of kids dealing with a supernatural entity in a small town in Illinois in 1960. There's some very superficial...

It's one of Mother Nature's quintessential symbiotic relationships - The Troll and The Streamer. Streamers expend a great deal of energy in their daily hunt through the Great Twitch Plains in search of content. Trolls, in their proper proportion, can be an additional source but demand attention...

YEET

You could always ban Polluted Delta. Just Polluted Delta.

Didn't try to milk it to 200 or anything, only went a couple issues after and the final comic was alright so thumbs up for all that. I thought it was going to 300 and was dreading that. As it is the series had been sorta slow ramblely for a while and ending it was a good call.

That's one of the little underlying themes of the podcast - fame makes people crazy and only the crazy seek it out.

The first few levels of the game are awful. Mangler at least has an exp rate that isn't hideous. I don't know how people were able to plow forward on Phinny and later Coirnav when you need to stab so many fucking snakes.

Look at Dante Alighieri here thinking he's just going to walk in and out.

A while ago the folks at OSW Review covered the old 1995 King of the Deathmatch tournament that Mick Foley won beating Terry Funk in the finals. It's three Irishmen just watching the whole thing and commenting on it so that may already not be your bag but I don't think of of the matches are...

I started the book, got halfway, watched the show, and finished the book and I would agree. The mystical stuff is a substantial portion of the book and stripping it out doesn't do the story any favors. Lady Silence is way fucking cooler in the book. They botched her super hard.

I just finished The Terror by Dan Simmons. It was adapted in to a show on AMC. It's about a failed expedition by the British Navy to find the Northwest Passage during the mid 1800s. The book mixes in a bit of the supernatural and while I'd say it's on the long side of things I found it to be...

There's many an aging nerd that feels the way he does.

I don't hate the gap between the launch of an expansion and the introduction of raid content. That serves at least some purpose. Telling me that I need to do a couple chores each day for twenty days for a thing but that I am not allowed to do extra chores to get there sooner will always rub me...

What, you've never heard of Ghostbusters: Answer the Call? I'm pretty sure it was a straight to DVD parody put out by the Sharknado guys. Adding a shitty tagline to your film because you're seeing a big uptick in DVD sales of the originals and are afraid people will buy the wrong one and...

Between sorta wanting to mess around in the new content and WoW Classic on the way in August this is probably the moment I could most justify a six month subscription but that mount just isn't very interesting.

A real thing that happened in a real episode Quark swapped genders complete with hormone treatment and surgery.

Final boss of the expansion 100% Raid encounter at ground level, raid encounter on airships and shit flying around and another raid encounter when you get sucked in to the thing and fight what is inside.

It was a substantial detriment to player choice and the system as a whole. Being able to dork around and explore a system is a big part of what I like about games and BfA routinely shut the door on my attempts to do so. Between not being able to build the meme sets I wanted and other traits not...

Getting a piece of Azerite the same ilevel as something I already had but that required another ten neck levels was mobile game tier. I need some goddamn artistry with my skinner box.
