    The Broken Empire Trilogy. Best series of all time

    I'm selling my slipcase Prince of Thorns if anyone here is interested. It was $200 new, never read or really taken out of slipcase except for photo. If anyone is interested give me a shout. Never did pick up the other two books and I'm not interested in an unmatched set to be honest. I liked...

    Scavengers Reign

    I can't promise anything with regards to Blue Gender. It was just the first thing that popped in my head. I haven't even seen it since it aired and I was drunk in college. But I did finish the series and my opinion didn't change. Overall I thought it was excellent.

    There’s a FSBO about half a mile from us, across the street from the elementary school where our son goes, and the only public school with 100 miles worth sending a kid to. It just recently dropped to $150k and has been sitting on the market for a while. Really wondering what is going on with it...

    Damsel (2023)

    The author Tamsyn Muir did a novella called Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower that was really good and would have made a much better movie than this. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/54391767

    Audiobooks

    I think Expeditionary Force and RC Bray is pretty much my gold standard for pulp audiobook. All of them were just fun to listen to, so much so that I’ve started using credits on just about anything RC Bray narrates. Speaking of… Finished listening to Tribe by Jeremy Robinson (narrated by...

    Yeah I can agree with all those. Will have to see how this one wears long term. Should be delivered today. Didn’t pick it up in shop bc online there was a 10% code and there wasn’t enough time to get back down there before leaving Nashville. There were big differences in the feels of the waxes...

    Dang, I never even saw the DLC for the first game. Need to check that out since I'm basically still in tutorial land of Talos 2 with no time to play at all.

    Wanted a new jacket and have spent the last few weeks trying on a bunch of different things. Pretty hard decision and one I wasn't going to make before trying them on in person. Was in Nashville this week for work and took the opportunity to drive a little south to Columbia to check out Bradley...

    Scavengers Reign

    Pretty sold after the first episodes. It is this crazy blend of old MTV Liquid Television (Aeon Flux, Max, etc) and early Adult Swim (Seaquest, Blue Gender,Venture Bros, Metalaocalypse) and a couple of other things. It really is pretty amazing I think, so far.

    The books are also heavily influenced by Maoist struggle sessions and communism, at least the 1st book. It has been a while since I read it.

    John Cena has a series of kids books with an electric monster truck named Elbow Grease. Normally I’d say no way did John Cena actually write these, but some of the writing is questionable and seems like maybe he did contribute. Kid likes them and loves monster trucks. I’ve introduced him to the...

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    Idea came from the Book of Daniel from Old Testament as a science fiction story. It is Space Opera. Expanse was more tied to / grounded with Earth history. This is more disconnected and independent, but still has humans. And aliens. August 6th, 2024 publish date. Trilogy.

    The Talos Principle 2

    This game feels odd on PS5, but I’m not quite sure how. Maybe it is an odd FOV, slight hitching or inconsistent frame time? Something just makes it not feel smooth and almost distracting. It really doesn’t feel next gen, at least the first area. Not judging it based on the tutorial area, but do...

    We were watching Amazing Race the other night and trying to figure out why there is a separate sign for Applause. The spirit finger thing. I mean, a deaf person can just look at you and see you clapping, not like they're confused by not hearing the clap or blind. Why bother changing it to...

    I did wrap up Hell House II, Hell House III: Lake of Fire, and Hell House Origins. The movies do nothing to try and improve the genre or add anything to this cut/paste footage exercise. In fact, I’d argue that they try to add to it with “better” actors, cameras, and scripts, which really takes...

    Oh, since the topic is bumped this also popped up on the Facebook group. Should be on the front page, but they have a bunch of signed / numbered in stock.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Yeah, his whole “sometimes life just goes on” conceit is convenient for him to not resolve things. Luckily his world is so massive with so much going on, many of those aren’t noticed until a second or third read through.

    Tons of workbench plans out there. You could take your pic and then just add casters to it. Unless you’re looking for something special that would differentiate it from a mobile vs stationary. Not sure where the pegboard would go, down low / on the sides? You wouldn’t really have that high of a...

    Finally got around to this a couple of nights ago and it hit a lot of things that I really love so in my mind it was amazing. Definitely top of my list for recent stuff.

    $8/m is pretty steep. Wonder how much content is available and what the release is. On one hand I’d love to watch his explanations and details, but on the other the sereneness of the base videos is a large part of the attraction. I’d probably burn myself out after 1 month and then lose interest...

    Agree on the slasher-type movies. Not sure if I made the comment after going through a lot of that Unseen list but it took 12 movies before finally get one with some tits. We re-watched Cabin in the Woods a couple of nights ago and at least that one did too. It just doesn't feel like a slasher...
