    Yes. Everyone is either a minority or a kid until they fix the X-Men in the spring, but even that there's plenty of reason to be dubious about.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Could be worse, I'm probably going to 2TF it up for Chiefs/Raiders as a Chiefs fan in Vegas. Going to get season tickets and everything if they move here, support my local team, etc. Never thought I'd see pro teams come to Vegas.

    New Last of Us patch improved the 1080p and 4k modes, but removed the supersampling options. People pretty grumpy about that I guess. PS4 Pro's The Last of Us Issues Ironed Out in New Patch, But It's Not All Perfect

    Cassini began its new mission phase, called its Ring-Grazing Orbits, on Nov. 30. Each of these weeklong orbits -- 20 in all -- carries the spacecraft high above Saturn's northern hemisphere before sending it skimming past the outer edges of the planet's main rings. Cassini’s imaging cameras...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I traded in my PS4 for a One S a few months after cancelling PS+. Haven't had a lot of time for console gaming, and being able to play my Xbox One games on PC (streamed at 1080p or natively thanks to Play Anywhere) pushed all my console gaming to that platform. I'll be back for the PS5, and...

    Played Captain Sonar last night, fun game if your group is up for it. It was basically a 3v3 game of Battleship. Someone recording the motions of the other team and trying to match that up against the islands on the map, an engineer managing systems/repairs and a captain managing your...

    Looks like Russia had an anomaly in the 3rd stage of a Soyuz launch this morning and lost the Progress capsule. Just supplies, not astronauts, thankfully. Doesn't create any issues w/ the station, as there's a JAXA launch 12/9.

    Yeah, looks like I was staying near a 4g/3g boundary, and on the highway there were certainly a number of dead areas between La Junta and Pueblo. Even at home now my phone hasn't seemed to switch from wifi to Fi very seamlessly, maybe it's time to factory reset it and give it a fresh start or...

    Pretty frustrated over the holiday with Google Fi on my 6p. Spent it in rural Colorado (81050) and had zero signal more often than I had just traces. Unless there's something obviously wrong with my phone I'll be headed back to a traditional carrier before any more family trips back there.

    You may also need to turn components on in a certain order for it to start working right. That was my last dumb thing to figure out when I set it up a couple weeks ago. Now my TV remote controls the volume and turns my receiver off and on when it is turned off/on.

    I'm just left wondering how they justify continuing to invest in the game. They should have moved on quicker than the guys who made The Order did.

    Yeah, the added annoyance there is Best Buy is nearly 70 miles away. We're headed there now to make a decision, fun times. Edit: ended up with a 6200 series 50" because they can't sell the 4k I wanted until Black Friday. Edit: audibled to the Vizio E series.

    Anyone else have a hell of a time shopping for lower end TVs? I have to have new shiny stuff, so while my wife wants to just get the first $350-$399 50" Samsung set she can find, I'm over here recommending $500 4k sets for their speed and brightness as if I've got to use the thing myself.

    Yeah, nothing really special about it, just added more Joker and Harley. Can see why they cut them too, movie doesn't need a couple more origin flashbacks from just one of the ensemble.

    It'll be fine as long as the power increase is justified for the $$ and there aren't asinine policies in place to limit it. Some are hoping the downgrade was an accident, but nobody in any official capacity seems willing to chime in to say that (or anything at all).

    Arrival (2016)

    The ending felt like the extended Blu-Ray version, kind of wallowed it in a bit. Otherwise fantastic movie, and similar to the above posts wife and I were talking about it all the way home and then some. As a father I have no intention of watching it again though, that was rough.

    Virtual Reality

    I can deal w/ the wires and have thus far, has never really bothered me, but just adds such an easy of use to the whole unit that I'm almost certainly in for one once it's reviewed and stuff. Only hesitation is I'd prefer it works on future headsets too somehow.

    Wow that would be amazing if it works as advertised. 90 minute battery life less than amazing, would want a second one since the extended won't be out for a bit.

    Yeah, can't read the rulebook from work, but apparently it's addressed there. Some are saying they just reserve upgrades/decisions for the 'floating' player for the start of the next game rather than the end of the prior. Either way, even as someone who normally plays co-op games almost...
