    If you have to be talked into the Pro I'd pass unless you get a great deal. Already being reported that Skyrim actually runs worse on the Pro. Hopefully an outlier.

    $56 on Amazon is pretty tempting. Amazon lately has seemed pretty stingy w/ the board game discounts.

    I'd recommend it to anyone who's remotely interested in the game at that price. Just started playing it with 3 friends who've never played it and are liking ti so far. I had leveled to 30 (max level) at launch and quit before any DLC came out previously.

    Seafall (No spoilers?)

    How well does/doesn't it handle new players, or is it pretty much required you have the same group or a replacement player must play something another player used. Thought Pandemic Legacy handled this pretty easily since characters can change game to game, but with this you're essentially...

    You buy a brand new TV with sound system... what movie do you watch on it first

    The Martian, with the movie and book being a favorite of ours, is our only 4k BD. Transformers in HD is what put my wife over the top and the next day we had a our first HDTV.

    Any of you do any in-wall shenanigans to hide wires? Something like Wiremold - In-Wall Power Kit - White or the various wallplates? With just AV and the Xbox One hooked to the TV these days, thinking of trying to go really minimal for the monolith of a console we have in the living room. We...

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    Yeah, two things nagged me, not in a bad way, just took me out of the movie a bit. - This seemed like Hugh Laurie as House becoming Doctor Strange. - Almost the entire soundtrack sounded recycled from Star Trek. Same composer I guess. Outside of that, yeah, some of the jokes were forced as was...

    I outfitted a follower with + order resources item and went from 0 to 15k for my final Class Hall talent in just a few days of WQs. I had also been out of town so had a full compliment of emissary quests too though.

    If you have a PS4 for everything else, I agree. I'm currently playing Play Anywhere titles on both PC and Xbox, and am streaming many games that are not Play Anywhere to my PC when the TV is occupied. Not everyone is interested in digital (which is required for Play Anywhere), so anyone who...

    You can bounce the audio as many of the addons are designed to do, and it can be very effective, just depends on the room.

    Kind of a lame excuse, next they'll say they have no robust online network because they don't want to impact portability and people might move out of range of their wifi.

    Saturn's polar hexagon changed color. Scientists are investigating potential causes for the change in color of the region inside the north-polar hexagon on Saturn.

    One of the cool things about Lowes and similar stores is their standardized layout probably makes it a lot easier for them to build interesting experiences.

    They're doing the same thing w/ Civil War that happened with Secret War, post Civil War books are already out and have to just vague up the end of Civil War 2 so they don't spoil it.
