    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    Also depends on the line. Clothing tends to be very fashion of the month dependent. If you are considered passe, then you start to do worse. Case and point: Abercrombie and Fitch.

    Check out the YouTube series Abandoned by Bright Sun Films. Focuses on failed retailers primarily and what caused their downfall.

    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    Service Merchandise in the States. They were around in the 80s and early 90s, same business model. I can't buy shoes online. I am the pickiest bastard when it comes to that and need to wear them.

    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    It wouldn't surprise me if the retail check outs you experienced were because of attempts to upsell high margin fluff items (warranties/credit cards/random shit). I recall having to push staff heavily on that and we weighted their performance on how much they successfully pushed long ago. Hour...

    The TARDIS may have also done it on purpose. Wouldn't be the first time.

    Bright (2017)

    It did give us some cool hints. The flying dragon, the centaur cop, the traffic sign that seemed to denote lizard man crossing, that one woman in the bar that had the odd eyelids (shapeshifting lizardwoman maybe? lol). Would actually be cool if it was a series...would let you build up the...

    Bright (2017)

    I just watched it. I enjoyed it, would watch a sequel. There is a lot of potential with the premise and a ton of open threads they could explore.

    Flying drone for Titan? Nice, although that can't last long. What would it use for power besides batteries. Solar is out and nuclear drones would have a weight issue I am guessing that would impact flight. If it has to rely on battery stores, realistically you'll maybe get an hour or so...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Confirms why Pats waited so long to trade him. When they realized Brady wasn't going to fall off a cliff and Jimmy wasn't going to agree to a team friendly deal, they had to snag something. Lucky for him they decided to trade him somewhere he could succeed...instead of the Browns lol

    New gameplay from DBFZ. Kind of have to tune out the woman that is spamming the mic during the demo, but check out the end and the Beerus ultimate attack lol

    That would be easily solved by having fog weather. The only people who cry about fog and rain are those who like to snipe 24/7 ;p

    It was just a byproduct of the Cold War, though. If there was a call to invest in non-nuclear weapon PU238 production for the purposes of space exploration, who would REEE at the cost (even though nukes would end up costing more)?

    No way. The brand/character is Dr Disrespect. That being said, I don't see anything happening streamwise until whatever is going to happen between him and his wife happens.

    Given this is his job and he supports his family with this, I doubt that was ever on the table. Plus buying a sub mostly just gets you emotes and chat privileges, so people still get a little something out of it. He was in Europe recently (Dreamhack). I wonder if it happened there.

    I think long term he will be ok streamer wise, assuming personal life doesn't go nuclear and destroys him. We don't really know anything regarding that. I used to work with a girl whose spouse cheated on them, but they ended up reconciling. Without knowing the individuals, it is really hard...

    The big problem is each president has their own grand idea and promptly guts the previous grand idea unless it is so far along that cutting funding makes no sense (and even that isnt a guarantee). It's like middle management at a company where each manager/director has their own pet project...

    Meteor showers always seem hit or miss. Only time I ever recall seeing a good one was when I was probably 12. Me and some friends were sledding at night (we made an ice ramp we wanted to get extra frozen so we waited until night to try it lol) and got tired and while looking up at the sky, we...

    The time jump was huge, but it was the only way to accommodate the story in a believable fashion. Your only other way to handle it would be "oh hey, look what we found!!!!" and they instantly own everything or try to use some time dialation technobabble

    Easy solution for Deadpool: Make a spinoff studio that is still fully owned by Disney, but allows them to release things w/o the Disney name attached to it. They've done it before.

    The Walking Dead

    The biggest problem is they stretch the plot like it's Dragonball Z. Rick spends like 10 episodes powering up, then there is a fight, then he gets his ass kicked again and has to learn how to break past his limits and unlock the next power level.

    Alternatively, they can say "We aren't following the comics, NO ONE IS SAFE!!!". I'm not sure the show could survive Rick being killed, though. That would be a massive gamble.

    The Walking Dead

    Carl always made it hard for them to adhere to a short time line "It's been 3 years!" and Carl aged rapidly. Now that they have no recognizable child actors, it will be easier to maintain a shorter timeline and not require the suspension of disbelief on the part of the audience.

    Ya, lots of people like the dick measuring stick of kill counts, but in PUBG all that matters are the -right- kills. I'm pretty sure the highest kill count I ever got in a solo win was maybe 4 or 5 tops. The way you win the game is to be the last man standing. I'm the cheap fucker that will...

    James S.A. Corey - The Expanse

    I finished reading it. It was good, although the locale where 90% of the book takes place had a sort of book 3 feeling to it. However, I did like the plot line they setup and it is the logical conclusion in terms of where the story was ultimately going to go. I liked it more than book 6...
