    MLB 2014 Season Thread

    Atta boy, BP. Word came out that he fucked up his wrist shortly after the All Star game which is why his hitting was pretty lackluster down the stretch. I hope that's true. Our starting rotation looks to be our strongest suit again.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    And despite how rare Earth's conditions might be, there could still bebillionsjust like us in the universe. I really enjoyed Sunday's episode. As Tenks said, the analogies and rationale for evolution are succinct.

    It's so played out, but Cyril being the constant punching bag doesn't get old. I love how much he sucks.

    You really should play the arcade again. This looks way better.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I drove to LA this past weekend and stopped for In-N-Out on the way. Goddamn, that's the best fast food burger. But their fries are terrible. What gives? It's very disappointing.

    The Beer Thread

    That one is very good. They had it on tap at a local spot a couple months ago and you mentioning it brought up tasty memories. I find that to be a problem with all Rogue beers. They are complex but are not balanced at all. That or the flavors just mix poorly. It's gotten to the point that I...

    Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

    I'm hoping someone on these boards may be knowledgeable on this specific area of Switzerland. I'll be in Lauterbrunnen in August. Myself and another dude in his 20s will be taking a train from Basel to stay for a night or two. What are the best things to at that time of year? Are the...

    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    Browns have been signing so many FAs. Finally forced to spend all that unused cap space. The roster looks more impressive, but I'll believe in actual improvement when I see it. Kind of like the existence of a Cincinnati playoff win.

    Life & Times at the American Office (L&TAO)

    There are two offices that I can commute to. One is really sociable and fun (Nerf guns, pop a shot, movie days) but takes an hour to get to and requires a shitty train-to-bus transfer. It also has three total lunch options nearby - one of which is a fucking Subway. The other office is within...

    NCAA Basketball 2013-14

    I was hoping that Cincy would at least make it to the final 16, but there's no way we're beating MSU. And that's if we get past the upset favorite Harvard. Only thing Cincy has going for them is three starting seniors - two of which are NBA-bound. Meh. Fucking sports, man.

    Microsoft's Online Security Sucks

    It's definitely legit from Microsoft. The links all go toSign in to your Microsoft account, which is their website. I can also see access attempt logs in my account and see that an IP in Houston kept trying to access my account. Must be Ham.

    Microsoft's Online Security Sucks

    I just received another email about unusual sign-in activity and that I should change my password. This just happened last week too. What's the deal? I don't have anything important tied to my Microsoft account (unique password, no saved credit cards), but this shit is really annoying. Has...

    The Beer Thread

    I'm so glad I have easy access to some of the greatest beer drinking spots around so I never have to deal with that madness. A lot of the special beers lose their appeal when so many places have nearly 70 taps on seasonal rotation.

    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    I really hope we're able to resign him. He owned at LT for us this season. Didn't allow a single sack. Michael Johnson was also a relevant FA but he's already been picked up. Bengals never make moves in FA and I'm OK with that. As long we keep drafting good players and keeping most FA...

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    Pools should be illegal too. What if the neighbor's kid comes into my yard and drowns in my pool? People who own pools are assholes.

    How can you say this? Three is pretty bad, but two is good. Not as good as the first, but it's certainly better than three by a wide margin.

    Matrix prequel trilogy in the works for 2017

    I haven't watched all of those trilogies, but I disagree pretty strongly about Die Hard. The second one is the worst. Three is fucking awesome. I think Batman might be the first two Michael Keaton films and then the one with Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey. I actually liked the third one...

    I'll take your money. Read it and Lost World. Lost World is a really, really bad book. Even the movie was better. JP is a good book, but I was seven and wanted to be an archaeologist when JP came out. That was the premier movie of childhood. I think my parents took me to the theater over...

    I'll have to upgrade my GPU, but that's been needing it for a while. Think I've had the same one since 2007 or 2008. The recommended processor is surprising. A 4.4 GHz 8-core? WTF dudes.

    Except Rust wasn't wrong. Reverend Tuttle was involved. And the fact he was murdered shortly after that evidence was stolen shows that the connection went deeper.

    Thinking Marty built that up in his head is as unfounded as thinking Audrey had some sort of interaction in some sort of way with the cult. I'd say more unfounded actually since we don't see that happen any other time in the show except for Rust's hallucinations which are well explained...

    Those weren't the only clues though. It also goes back to what is apparently shitty video editing. The tulip picture (seriously, it's like...the exact same fucking painting) and the spiral drawing. NP came back said, "oh we just messed up there", but with all the detail and care in this show...

    I wasn't one of the people with crazy theories. Yes, I thought something was going on with the daughter. But that wasn't a crazy conjecture. I'm not fitting anything with the narrative I had built up in my mind. I'm talking about things that were laid out clear as day in the show - the...

    True Detective

    I too think there were too many loose ends. Vehement defenders keep hammering the "but it's all about the characters, not the case" point, but the entire show encompasses the beginning to end of the case. It's all about the fucking case. The first half of the season sets up things so well and...
