Dishwasher and microwave were the only two appliances that are not new in my new place and the dishwasher is gonna need to be replaced sooner rather than later. The existing model was probably budget low-end installed by the builders a decade ago and it just isn't terribly sturdy or good at the...

They stealthily changed the headline to insert the word 'female'

Everyone loses. As a Gen-X'er whose Baby-boomer parents/extended family made an active point of NOT talking about Vietnam this is very fascinating. The fascinating history that sets up the whole situation was completely new to me, but really any specifics were completely lacking in my...

For those of you curious the 'explicit language' versions are available online at pbs.org

I'm sitting at 269 and I don't think I have a viable way to get past that point until the weekly reset.

Andromeda Deluxe Edition is on sale for Xbox One and PS4 at $22 on Amazon. The game is entertaining enough to warrant picking up at that price point.

Sadly I already have the thing, so no Xur for me.

I will say I always thought Destiny 2 would have the player realizing that at least one of the 'enemy' races was not all bad and end up joining forces with them / opening up a new race for player character Guardians. For a bit there I thought the Cabal were headed in that direction, but nope...

I like how he makes up bullshit about this being a life-long dream of his to compose music for Trek and that if child-him could see him now... Bitch if you have been thinking about Trek music, specifically the work of both Alexander Courage and Jerry Goldsmith since you were a kid and...

The stuff goes on pretty thin all things considered. I have two gallons for a much larger / taller deck and think I'll be fine.

CBS has embargoed reviews of the show until after the first episode airs... because that's always a clear vote of confidence.

I have a deck that is 10 years old and the owners never stained it / sealed it / took care of it at all. The thing was sickly grey and looked like garbage but I got an inexpensive power washer from Lowe's and went to town on it. Now it looks all fresh and new and I'm going to apply a...

So I've been loading up my guy with Arc cooldown mods and am using the gloves that reduce Arc cooldown with melee kills. I find myself able to have a pretty decent uptime on both my Super and the grenade / ArcSoul abilities and that seems far more useful than the other things I can get with a...

I do like the parts where we see what the rest of the crew is doing while otherwise just sitting on the bridge. Especially when it takes 19 hours to get to the destination and the only thing you've done is turn on the autopilot.

So gonna spoiler this in case people haven't finished the main quest series

Very derivative and unoriginal. Jerry Goldsmith this is not.

I think Bojack and F is for Family are in a contest to see which show can make me feel more depressed. These are not feel-good shows even though they are really good shows.

They wrote this intending for it to be the movie right after Sideways but things got switched around. Sideways was pretty damn funny very dark comedy and so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Good...good...just as I had forseen... I think JJ will feel the pressure to make sure the end of the modern (first modern?) Trilogy is strong and not a dupe of Return of the Jedi or any similar I'll. It probably also matters what KKs plans are long term past IX... If LJ is successful, coming...

Looks like an amusing sci-fi premise

Title: Downsizing Genre: Comedy, Drama, Science Fiction Director: Alexander Payne Cast: Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Kristen Wiig, Rolf Lassgård, Ingjerd Egeberg, Udo Kier, Jason Sudeikis, Margo Martindale, Neil Patrick Harris, Laura Dern, Joaquim de Almeida, Niecy Nash...

The Emperor as a pretty extreme racist is a subtle underlying theme in the Clone Wars. While the Jedi have members from tons of different races, the Empire is exclusively human with Thrawn as the only notable exception. Remember back in the Phantom Menace where Sidious openly derides the...

It's official... JJ Abrams writing / directing Episode IX

Im going to guess that the Director shuffle for Episode IX is going to result in a release slip to December 2019. While it was the intent that they return to the traditional 'May' release, it seems clear that Force Awakens, Rogue One, and now Last Jedi are making excellent merchandise bank...

I do like how this game is dealing with the big elephants in the room: namely the Traveler and the Speaker and the whole overarching original plotline made no sense after they gutted the story a year before release. I still think the original story was far superior, but at least they are...

Is it just me, or is Stormcaller just hands-down better than Dawnblade / Voidwalker? Between going full Emperor Palpatine as a super and the utility of Arc Soul I seem to be much more effective as Stormcaller. I'm also a bit surprised they didn't come up with a genuinely new subclass for each...

Wait, where's the golden chest map? I only see Cayde selling the four Scout Reports

What are the main Glimmer sinks? I've maxed out my Glimmer and all I see readily to spend it on are Cayde's maps. Just running around doing public events and such and I'm at 227 with really trying too hard.

I think it makes at least some sense. Certainly having kinetic and elemental as two different types is a big change which nevertheless seems sensible. Sniper and Rocket Launcher have more in common with each other than Sniper and Fusion Rifle.

I may have to look into that. Ripping out all the carpet has certainly helped a lot as well (the previous owners had a dog), also carpet is the devil...I am vehemently opposed to carpet in general.

I went with the not quite top of the line (I don't need a secondary washing machine in the top of the washing machine...) Samsung washer and dryer. I have horrific allergies and so having the steam settings for both washer and dryer is very nice. I've also found that the 'refresh' setting on...

Saw it at an advanced screening hosted by Broke Horror Fan and really liked it. When first written IT played on the 80s 'gang of geeks' trope that was heavily used in the 80s (Goonies, Stand By Me, Monster Squad, etc.) and so is very much a product of that era. The rampaging success of...

I did find myself accidentally leveling just by virtue of being caught in extended firefights and public events in EDZ. Playing a Warlock the new Rift abilities are very nice for this sort of content as it benefits everyone in the region and gets people coordinating through minimally conscious...

The core gameplay was already solid as hell so glad they didn't mess with it. Running around an open area killing tons of critters is so very satisfying. The classes do feel like they have more 'power' to them now as I find myself using abilities more often instead of hoarding them like...

I figure it must be due to the expected (and seen) server loads, but it does kinda suck that one of the core social aspects of the new release won't exist during the period when people are first exploring the content.

Puerto Rico is gonna get wrecked. As if they didn't have enough problems with a failing and financially insolvent government.

It did not seem to import my character look from D1, I did the intro bits up until you get full access to the Director and now I think I want to change the way the dude looks... seems to be no easy way to do this.

Fair enough Tony Gilroy really was the director of Rogue One. I still find it interesting that both TFA and Rogue One are so extremely polarizing. I have good friends who love one and hate, I mean completely loathe, the other.

Gonna guess they either convince Rian Johnson to stay for another go-round, or get Garreth Edwards to take a swing at Episode IX after the success of Rogue One

I dont think they can get away with not showing what happens to Ezra/Kanan. The purge has to be complete in order for the main movies to make sense.
