    What vehicle do you drive?

    I wonder how the car phones home. Does it have it's own sim card or does it make people connect to their home wireless network for these daily GBs of data uploads? Surly someone has found a way to disable the ability of the car to send and receive data.

    Blue Beetle (2023)

    In the comics? I liked Cyborg in Doom Patrol, outside of a few nitpicks here and there. Haven't seen many episodes of Teen Titans, but he looked ok in that too?

    The Mandalorian

    I have a hard time taking Jack Black seriously, which works out fine for his comedy rolls, but less so when it's trying to be even halfway serious. Lizzo has all the acting ability of a cedar fence and I felt kinda bad that Christopher Lloyd had to try to act around that. Other than that, it...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    Meh, went looking for a release date and realized this is just a upscaled 4k release of their 1984 concert movie. I though it was going to be some kinda docudrama like Weird: The Al Yankovic story. The uncut "HD" version is on YouTube in whole:

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    The best time travel movies are the ones that gloss over the minutia of the actual time travel, instead of trying to make some "plausible" method of how it would work. Primer, while not a bad movie, is arguably the most detailed and "plausible" time travel movie, but you need a few rewatches...

    Tree wells are absolutely terrifying. That dude just won the life lottery there, as they were not skiing together, and the skier just happened to be on the same line that the buried boarder was on. Nationally, tree wells kill as many people as avalanches. Luckily, the US has a very good record...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    I thought someone posted, a while back now, that Dave gave an interview stating that he was getting tired of holding his bodybuilding physique for so long. Filming takes a long time, and it has to be hard on his health by staying cut, muscular, and on riods/HGH for 6+ months at a time. Dunno...

    I think the game is designed in a way that you need the XP from those quests if you want to get all the fun shit in Throne of Bhaal. It's better to fully play BG2/PST/FO2 and skip games like Icewind Dale, NWN1, POE, System Shock (...well, all the rest), than to try to get through them all by...

    He is in both. In BG1 you have to go looking for him. I wont spoil anything for BG2, but you should see him, even if you are speed running things (which is a silly way to play these games!).

    I thought one of the main draws of buying a BMW is paying Carbon Fiber prices for 30 year old Aluminum technology!

    The Mandalorian

    In the last season of Clone Wars, they (Ahsoka, Rafa, and Trace) go to Kessel. They imply the run is a cleared path that snakes through a dense nebula type cloud and say something about only fools would go into the nebula to make it shorter, or some such.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    From the outside, it looks like the Challenger has a huge open grill area. Can you do a ram air upgrade for it? That should be one of the best intake mods? As for the twin-turbo linked above, just doing that is a terrible (but fun) idea! All the stock parts are designed for a certain HP range...

    Regarding some of the points: The way combat is, is the way almost all turn based games are (it's the style of other various games). Baulder's Gate is real time with pause, and it sacrifices some tactical aspects for a bit faster pace. Fallout is the simplest of turn based even, where action...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    I wasn't necessarily dead set on not trying to watch it again, but reading the reviews on IMDB didn't make me want to set out any time for it. I need reasons TOO watch it, not to avoid it. If I didn't like the first 10 to 20 minutes, why keep trying to watch the rest? I have plenty of other...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    ..and, as movies go, it's not great and not terrible. I never put any "action" qualifier in there. I also said, originally, that I fell asleep, a.k.a. I must have found it uninteresting, but not Expendables bad. Of those movies you listed, I have seen Dredd and Fury Road. Dread was ok, but I...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    Well your posts are certainly making me not want to watch it again. Your shitty replies generally warrant over the top responses, so here we are. Most of it has been just replying to Gavin. It was almost 10 years ago, and I did not seemingly find it interesting enough to commit much of it to...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    Your the one asking why I don't like it; I never said anyone is wrong to like it. Furthermore, it only has a 7.3 on IMDB, which isn't great or terrible, so it's hardly the whole world that loves that movie.

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    Wat, I watched the first 10 to 20 minutes before falling asleep. Do you normally remember every part of media you are disinterested in? The nice old car Wick was was driving is the last thing I remembered. Hence the "how long do I need to watch before I can say I don't like it?"

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    The Fallout 3 argument of you cant dislike the game unless you played X amount of hours, just play it a little bit more and I promise you will like it! 20 hours? Psh, well you can get 120 hours out of it! So you cant make up your mind until then! Its a 90 min movie, how long do I need to watch...

    One would need to know what "The Baby Yaga sequence" is, in order for it to mean anything. I mean, you made it more likely that maybe I'll give it another watch, someday, but another part of it is that American style modern shootem ups remind of shitty Michael Bay films; which is a very hard...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    I may have made it deeper into the movie, but that's all I remember from it. Reading reviews on IMDB: simple plot, braindead action, non-stop action, not original, innovative, or stylish, a weak story...and those are from the people who rated it 7 or higher. I have seen plenty of movies like...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    *shrug* Maybe I was just tired the night I tried to watch it. What I remember is a bunch of guys try to kill him, end up shooting his dog, then then has to go kill them all or some such. There was a car chase that I fell asleep during and that's it from memory. Didn't leave an impression that I...

    I'm not 12 anymore; I need more than braindead action to get me to sit though a movie or TV show these days. Plenty of other things to do with my time. Like play braindead games, such as WoW or Diablo. I can still enjoy a heavy action movie or TV show, but it needs smarter spy shit like Borne...

    Plastic doesn't mean it comes pre-painted. At least for any body panel I have ever seen. Which means the body shop is doing the paint on the bumper. For US insurance, we are allowed to pick our body shop, and why I would never just let the insurance decide where they get the best deal...

    I immediately recognized him, but looking through IMDB, I dont think I have see more than a couple movies he has been in. I rarely caught 90's SNL, but it must be from that.

    Someone really didn't like the look of that new grill style! On the positive side of things, you could go aftermarket front bumper and improve it's looks! Expensive repair. I had to replace my front bumper after a semi lost a chunk of metal and left it in the middle of the road. It was easily...

    No real complaints this week, that episode is more like it. I really wanted them to assault the cool looking pirate ship, take it as a prize, then clear the city; just like Annie and Ben used to do.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    How did that even happen. The way the P and the H are damaged, it kinda looks like a skid, but it's such a weird angle and damage looks too localized to be a skid? Transported on a trailer with other poorly secured items maybe, and created a rub?

    I've never done a 1 INT build run, as it is opposite of my playstyle of the sniper/medic/scientist/mechanic that can open all the doors, hack all the things, fix all the parts, and get all the upgrades (mostly). I wonder how much stuff you miss with that low of an INT. It always looked like what...

    Again, mad? You're being as much of a salty bitch as you purport Grabbit as being. Also, does anyone actually use exclamation marks and extra punctuation when being serious? A period and question mark are the only serious punctuation. I learned this in my first year of WoW. Get with the program.
