    Worst tornado I ever experienced was an F3. I remember leaving my grandparent's house and seeing a pickup truck wrapped around a tree across the street. I couldn't even imagine facing an F5. Hard to believe the same place has been hit like this three times in the past 15 years.

    RIP Ray Manzarek

    I heard so little about this I thought it was a rumor at first. He wrote some of the most legendary key riffs in rock. Light My Fire intro is tops.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    No way OG Star Trek was as anal with it's use of science in fiction as the nit-picking nerd rage in that article.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think Dany is accepting this Braavos dude's intentions as loyalty a little too soon. He just slaughtered his former two bosses/equals and then goes on a spiel about how he doesn't listen to what anyone says and he does what he wants.

    MLB 2013 season

    I'm down for the Pirates to become relevant. That means the deal with Satan for Steelers success at the expense of the Pirates is expiring. I'm ready for some shitty Steelers years. Hard to believe that the top three teams in the NL in terms of record are all in the NL Central.

    Mad Men

    He's talking about an episode last season. Don gets the flu or something and starts hallucinating and thinks he kills someone he had a relationship with before Megan. Episode was weird but good. It reminded me a lot of the films from the late 60s and early 70s - Kubrick style stuff. I have...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    You haven't considered probably most of the people that go see these movies then. We went had an all-day event to go see this on Saturday. Brunch, drinks and Star Trek. None of the nine people in our group had any Star Trek experience beyond the 2009 film.

    General Advice Thread

    So much of this forum makes Texas sound like a less-than-mediocre place. And we tend to have rather well-traveled individuals in these parts. Austin sounds like the only place worth a shit in Texas. The only city in Texas I've visited is Houston - and that place is awful. Where does the...

    You don't give Cutler enough credit, Araysar. Top three of all time easily.

    I've listened to it once, but based on that listen I'm inclined to agree with Drinsic. I like Era Vulgaris, but the songs on this album are better.

    As someone who lives in what is now the most expensive city in the US to live in, I can tell you that for me, personally, it's worth it. As Eomer said, the culture, cuisine, entertainment, weather, proximity to other great areas (Napa, Lake Tahoe, Big Sur, Yosemite, etc.) more than make up for...

    These videos are awesome. The one for "Keep Your Eyes Peeled" looks like a scene lifted out of a Borderlands game.

    ...like clockwork. Queens of the stone age.

    The link isn't working for me for some reason. I've heard only one live leaked track that I thought was "meh", but everything else I've heard from this album has been fantastic. Album will own.

    No shit. Some fellow graduates are already buying houses back in Ohio that would cost at least a million dollars here. The difference in real estate prices don't make midwest prices appear "pretty cheap". The difference is damn near astronomical. A $175,000 house there would be nearly 10x...

    Whatever. Robot voice shit. Vocoder warrants more merit than autotune, but it's still overused.

    A little over halfway through the album. A bit too much autotune, but it's mostly good. I'm surprised. Usually I dislike this kind of stuff.

    I have a close friend who went through the ROTC program and then went on through the four year officer training. Now he's a pilot in the Air Force and he loves it. He travels around quite a bit and I think gets relocated every four years. An officer in the Air Force sounds like a 5-star job...

    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    Jarrett Jack was ass for most of the game and then stepped up when it mattered. I'm still expecting to lose this series, but I'm glad the Warriors are at least putting up a respectable fight.

    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    I don't know. The fouls in this GS home series so far have been extremely lopsided to San Antonio's favor. Maybe the Warriors need to string together a few more winning seasons before they get some respect. Bummer I spent the money I did to go to this game to see this happen on the court...

    I go to Outside Lands and multi-night Phish shows. I count multi-night Phish show as festivals. I dig music festivals. You get the chance to see a lot of artists you would never pay to see a one-off show.

    What directors do you trust the most?

    Quentin Tarantino. Huge fan of his. Jackie Brown is his only film I don't think is amazing - and that movie is pretty damn good. I don't go to the theater often. I see maybe two or three movies a year, but I will always see a Tarantino film on opening day.
