    What vehicle do you drive?

    *You watch as Hekotat calmly walks to his car, gets is Sawzall out of the back and proceeds to cut the cat off his car. He then throws the cat and the Sawzall on the ground, gets in, and starts the car up with the straight pipe sound directly from the engine. As he drives away you hear him shout...

    I'm going to assume they did that as a time saving feature, but we will see next week how much (or if) they spend much time on them getting off planet. If that prison had been on a waterworld, like Kamino or Mon Cala, they would have needed to spend the time on organizing the prisoners and...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Third person and first person shooters are in the same boat. A few games that I liked and played through once, but I usually get bored fairly quickly with them. A long time ago, FPSs switched 90% of development to multiplayer, and, outside of Goldeneye, I had no interest in spending the time...

    All that Control fellatio had me thinking of giving it a try in the near future, and I don't much care for fist person shooters, outside of a select few games. Thanks for the heads up, chief.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    One of Marvel's contract conditions was that Spiderman's love interest now identifies as Maury Jane. Zenda already signed on to wear the 300 lb fat suit in order to portray the FTM Maury. Midnight's Edge to break the news shortly.

    The Witcher

    Agreed, I doubt I will watch season 4 either and the announcement of Cavil's departure has made me indifferent to the release of season 3. I'll still watch S3, but I assume the writing is so bad and lead to so many fights, that it's what made Henry finally give up on a passion project.

    Tempting, as I really want to read this, but I also want to go into each episode completely blind. Even if the hints are miniscule.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I am not saying today is better, but until this COVID reaming, the late 80s and early 90s were the absolutely worst time for cars in the last 70 years. Low HP, high weight, and ugly when compared to everything else. Any car from the late 90s to the early 2010s is superior in performance per...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Your idea of fun and mine must be totally different. The late 80s and early 90s were still suffering from regulations set in the early 80s. They had absolutely horrible HP and were heavier than cars produced in the early 2000s, across all price options. The modding scene probably stayed fairly...

    Have you experimented with gluing up some Baltic Birch yourself? The demand for 1 inch+ ply is probably so low that it has to be silly expensive. How far are you from Seattle? They have to have some wood warehouses with a good selection of quality ply. For the shit you are doing, I don't see...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well, if you wait until the 15th you can keep playing WotLK until level 60. Icecrown is a better put together zone, story wise, than anything in Shadowlands. Unless you just want to get to 60 ASAP for Dragonflight, then it's probably slower to stay in Icecrown, reguardless.

    There have been a bunch of people who tried to update the Master of Magic formula, but they mostly fell short in one way or another. Not bad games, per se, just never captured the same magic.

    Master of Magic (2022 remake)

    Original Master of Magic is on steam, now that Slitherine bought the IP: They hired a guy that made a major mod for the original, and he keeps updating the mod as a DLC: Casters of Magic mod/DLC adds a decent amount of things and also makes the game more difficult. I would recommend.

    If it wasn't for ATT refusing to allow my OnePlus 3 to connect to their network, I would still be using it today. I think it was 6 or 7 years old when it went obsolete due to ATT dropping 3G coverage.

    I liked the first one well enough, even though I never went to the theater for it. Dance with Wolves in Space, with a white man saving the ignorant natives and all that white man's burden made for a fun adventure movie. It was good enough for one re-watch, but not much more than that. I will...

    China locked down an area where a major Foxconn factory is on Sunday/Monday. Reuters reported that it may decrease IPhone production by 30% for the month, quite possibly the most important month out of the year. Maybe big money took a few days of investigations to see how bad the lockdowns...

    No way this one forced labor factory is important enough to involve anything over a company of Storm Troopers, let alone Vader or an Inquisitor. That is another part of the show that I like. It feels like a small part of a huge empire and that "prison" is just one of thousands of forced labor...

    I didn't even know Dredd was originally in 3D, as I stopped going to theaters long before it came out. I guess that makes a little more sense, as to why people rave about the movie. I watched it for the first time, 8 or so months ago, and thought it was good enough, but nowhere near my top 10...

    Torrent is always last resort method, would rather stream it in 1080, if I can find it, than take up space on a HD. Unfortunately, no access to Epix, so I guess that's it, if I want to watch it. The trailer, strangely enough, makes it look like an Americanized action-e explosion-e dudebros all...

    Is this only BBC UK? I think they got wise to VPN use, so cant even do that anymore. Wonder if they will get to stuff like the raid on St. Nazaire? It would be a huge production.

    Huntsmen seem chill enough when they get caught riding along with people, and funnel webs should only be a problem if you like to go sticking your dick into random holes in the ground.

    I thought there was something from one of the writers/producers/directors, earlier in the thread, laying out those arcs. Episode 4, 5, & 6 was the heist, there was no chilling with the GF/who-har. Episode 7 was more of an epilogue for the heist with it's aftermath and a segue getting Andor into...

    There are always bonds with EU banks. As a thought, have you looked into your current investment bank, to see if they will hold and allow you to trade with Euros? You could trade on the various EU markets and they have index funds over there too. For example, Interactive Brokers lets you...

    Any noise can be music to the right ear, old man. I take it you have never been in a fast car and experienced the g forces of high speed turns, a 500+ horsepower launch on a perfect hook, or a wide open throttle to 140+ mph on a straight away, eh?

    Is this just for NEXO or all EU banks? If you are not certain, look around at the other big EU banks, or at any Swiss bank not called Credit Suisse (since Switzerland is not in the EU). Now that UK is out of the EU, you could see if a UK bank has low risk options that a US citizen can use. If...

    According to Wowhead, Brews went through a large rework with Dragonflight, so, if you haven't, you may want to look at the Brews guide. Even though they are written for the prepatch, it should still give you an idea of how it will play. Was skimming through the intro to each tank guide, so went...
