    Yeah, that's when it starts to slow down. Took me a few months of occasional viewing to get though that portion. But the towards the middle of season 2 it starts to pick up. They start to explain what's goin on, etc. Worth the view imo.

    Counterpart

    This is on Amazon btw. Middle episodes drag on a bit so I didn't binge it. But the last few episodes of season 2 really tie things up well. Pretty good show, not your usual shoot em up affair. Definitely unique. And the flu epidemic on one side is prophetic.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Probably. It's also pretty obvious now why Chris never managed to finish a game at Digital Anvil. He just spends money and is incapable of managing time or feature creep. I have serious doubts that this will ever launch in any sort of polished / playable state as long as he is at the helm...

    The Boys

    I whole heartedly agree that most of the woke garbage coming out right now is over the top and unwatchable. I see very few new shows because of that exact reason. They are propagandist trash. But The Boys isn't in that category and is in fact very good. It isn't SJW garbage at all. Claiming...

    The Boys

    50 years from now, nobody will give a fuck about today's issues. Nobody cares about the 60's and they were a lot more intense than today's BLM stupidity. They won't care about Covid unless there is another pandemic happening. Most people didn't even know about the Spanish Flu unitl Covid hit...

    The Boys

    The show stands on it's own and does not need a knowledge of Trump or any other current event to enjoy. The nazi stuff works because Stromfront isn't a contemporary human. She is over a hundred years old and is an ACTUAL Nazi. Even Homelander doesn't really buy into her BS, as despicable as he...

    The Boys

    There is nothing subtle about a half black / half white alien and his opposite. Subtlety is not required. Discovery sucks, not because of it's woke narratives, but because the writing is some of the most atrocious ever put on the screen. The Boys is great in spite of the woke stuff, so was...

    The Boys

    One of the most heavy handed woke tv shows of all time is the original Star Trek. One of it's most woke episodes is where one alien is half black on the right side and half white on the left side, while his mortal enemy is the exact opposite. But the original Star Trek and that episode are...

    Only because it didn't trigger the woke sensitive spots for people here. I get it. Surprised I am agreeing with Khane but he's right. You all are too sensitive. Stop being cunts.

    Fuck it. I hate woke crap more than anyone. But this is the best TV out atm and loved the last episode. Sometimes you just have to let it go and enjoy the ride. And this has been a fucking great ride. Hope they can keep it up, going to be hard though. .. Really glad this show gets great...

    Guild Wars 2

    They introduce new dyes all of the time. What is extremely expensive now will be cheap at a later date and / or will show up in the birthday presents. Good time to buy expensive dyes is when they have a dye pack on sale. For a few weeks the price will drop by huge amounts, sometimes never going...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Even though I agree with all of the hate towards the woke crap, I've pretty much given up on boycotting the companies involved. It's like fighting the tide. It may be infesting everything atm, but eventually this tide of sjw stupidity will recede,. In the mean time I'm desperate for...

    Get the Gringo (2012)

    Entertaining. Enough so that I watched it again recently. Mel does a pretty good job with these types of characters. Kind of reminds me of Payback, another good one.

    Good person and a great player. Loved watching Aldon when while he was with the Raiders. Had issues with substance abuse. I really hope he has it figured out.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Good television will bring in casual viewers. Discovery is not good. Good Trek will bring back fans so they can watch it again. Discovery is not good Trek. There is no redeeming value to Discovery. In every way it fails. If it was wiped from existence the universe would be a better place.

    The Boys

    Using the Nazi angle in a story isn't in itself bad. The problem is that EVERY fucking show (and game, etc. etc.) out right now does that. It's fucking old, tired, predictable and boring. Lazy writers following the herd. But The Boys is still great. The predictable Nazi arc isn't going to ruin it.

    Yeah, they definitely drank the liberal zeitgeist kool-aid with the super nazi crap. But whatever. It's still the best show out atm.

    Guild Wars 2

    Friday night's alright for fighting.. Even tier one servers are slow most other times. If you have a ocx/sea crew then sat mornings can have some action. Events use to bring people in, not sure if people care much anymore, haven't played in a while. Still have one more set of wvw legendary...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Carr threw for over 4000 yards in 2019. That is without asshat Antonio Brown and Williams nursing injury all year. Defense sucked last year. Offense on paper should be better this year. Ruggs is a decent deep threat. Waller is a stud. Jacobs is a stud. Defense..... we'll see.

    Guild Wars 2

    There are some really good group synergies that can happen with combo fields, etc. Well played groups in WvW have been indestructible during some Metas, before the inevitable nerfs of course. Fun to watch, if you're not the one getting stomped on.

    Black Desert

    It's still a very good game. But they are the masters at getting you to spend outrageous amounts of money for pixels. The pet tier system (basically a slot machine) is the one that got me. Wasn't keeping track of things, and then came to realize I had spent hundreds. Fuck. Still like the game...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Politics is turning a lot of people off. Just like it did for the NBA. We want to watch the games and not be reminded of the political stupidity that is shoved in our face every minute of every day. keep it out of the games. It costs a lot of money to watch the NFL, especially if you have cut...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Did some water cooling a couple of years back. Was surprised how easy, well made they are now. I ended up just switching it out for Noctua's, because wasn't really overclocking much. But the new water cooling systems aren't nearly as messy as they use to be.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I'm just going to wait for the next generation. My guess is they will be hearing lots of complaints about heat, etc. this go around and will clean up the next cards to be smaller and require less power / fans. And they're going to want to get this tech into notebooks, so it's pretty much a given...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Voyager aged well imo. It kept the dignity of Star Fleet and actually explored unknown worlds. Exploration and new worlds were not as common after the original series. Preferred Voyager to DS9, although eventually gave DS9 a shot and enjoyedt it. They really rushed the ending of Voyager though...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    JJ is great at the smoke and mirrors thing. Setting the audience up to want that big reveal that his sleight of hand and intense action promises. The problem is there is never anything in the box, he doesn't have anything to say, and it's all just an elaborate shaky cam con. He's been doing that...

    Dune (2020)

    Wish I hadn't read the books (more than once). Wish I hadn't seen the original film (more than once). This new versions looks really well made, but watching every scene knowing what is going on is a bummer. We really need some new IPs in the movies / tv. The remakes are really well done, but...

    Lol. 12 wins on the mind somehow became 2012. Yeah, it was 2016 when Carr won all of those games but then broke his leg just before the playoffs.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Marriota never really had a chance to replace Carr this season. Not with Covid, no preseason, etc. Even without Covid, Marriota is just a high priced backup. Carr has all kinds of receivers to throw to this year, good ones. I think he will do well. He hasn't really had a decent receiver group...

    Just roll another toon and play it until they get out of the low levels. Rev isn't in a great place, or wasn't last time I played. But most of the classes are a lot of fun. My favs are war, mesmer and necro. Engineer also, depending on the meta. For groups, Guardian use to be a great support...
