    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Man, we've killed some huge packs of goblins. First group had to be ~20 or so, the second seemed like 1/3 of the large jail map worth. Can't wait to find packs like that with double goblins live. That second pack ended up dropping something like 90 of every gem and after all was said and...

    Heh, using this now to OCD my missions from work. Chrome Remote Desktop - Chrome Web Store I have issues w/ mouse look so it's only so functional, but i log out next to the mission table so it's pretty easy to complete and re-dispatch my followers.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They've changed drop rates on those items from stupidly rare to 'oh now everyone but me can get one to drop' rare. Really though, they've reduced the rarity of the harder to get legos.

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

    Actually never played it, wonder if that means it will hit PS+ this fall. Either way resell values will tank and if it's digital and not auto-redeemed or something they'll be cheap on ebay, good stuff.

    Board Games

    We played it once. Didn't play w/ max players or something so one guy had a lot less pressure and the people who had to fight each other got crushed by him late because he got to the keeps, if I remember it correctly. Wasn't really a fan.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    It happened though, and still shouldn't. Time wasn't expiring, he needed to just make the catch. Poor awareness by Dez to just complete the reception rather than do it all. Dallas should easily have had the ball 1st and short going in for a TD.

    Comic Books

    Marvel made the Vinyl print bigger (50x66) than the original art (33x44) that Adams sells (Original Sin 1:1 Vinyl | Arthur Adams), the B&W is a bit more collector-friendly too since he only made 200 of them, if I'm remembering some posts from the Fans of Art Adams Facebook group correctly...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    I haven't even played much and am trying to use it as a reason to get an x52 and either head tracking or build a case for VR later, lol. Instead I'm sure I'll just end up with the 3d.

    It's massive too, here it is hanging at a local shop. So today I walked into my comic shop and left with nothing. First time in a long time, felt pretty good. Really down to just reading Injustice weekly, will pick some things back up when Secret Wars / Time Runs Out get here probably...

    Just replicating some of our routines, yeah the evening news and sometimes Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune (toddler son loves both). Not that he misses them we don't watch them. The ability to watch some things live - the vast majority of the programming we do watch are on local channels - would...

    So for the cord cutters, do you have a OTA DVR and antenna, or how do you deal w/ local channels?

    The Astronomy Thread

    Yup, legit large events like this have surveillance cameras, etc even if only to show the difference in lighting as it comes/goes. Obviously fake. It's also kinda slow and the trail is pretty inconsistent w/ meteors (no smoke, dissipates consistently/quickly, etc).

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Playoffs have never been part of Sunday Ticket, it's only ever covered the weekend games. Playoffs are all local channels and ESPN, preseason has never been part of ST either and are already available directly from the NFL through their website. ST is just the 17 weekends, the streaming-only...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I expect Sunday Ticket independent of another service provider will always be around $15-20/weekend, rather than per month. Too much money to be made, I know I'd pay it.

    Ant Man. July 2015

    Felt kinda like Green Lantern - which I liked - but understand why many didn't. Look forward to seeing more. More excited that it's new Marvel stuff more than anything.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    They have once before, I expect there will be options again, just not sure when. Previously there was that PS3-exclusive streaming. In the meantime, I pay for mom's DirecTV so if the 1 month trial on Xbox One goes well we may consider cancelling and just use the Sunday Ticket login from her...

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

    Sony tacked on a note about the Playstation Vue service to their CES keynote yesterday to make sure it makes it into the SlingTV media coverage, announced a release date of Q1 this year. At 75 channels to SlingTV's $20 for 12 + $5 genre packages I think we can expect Sony to try and get it...

    Those are nice. I don't have any CGC-graded stuff, my most valuable book would probably my Stan Lee signed Amazing Spider-Man #41 if it wasn't in 'wiped ass with' condition. Even non-CGC it's probably worth more than anything else I've got just because of the signature. I could have paid to...

    Yeah, I won't say I'll never do it, but don't see that happening anytime soon. The idea is neat, but getting curbstomped by a rabbit or rat a few times is all I needed to lose interest.

    I'm still actively doing garrison stuff on my main, this weekend might be the first couple of days since launch I didn't go and do my herbing/mining. My main is also still a miner because I haven't gotten around to picking another profession. They all feel so devalued due to the garrison...

    Wish I'd waited, that was the digital purchase that made me go back to physical for a while. The franchise was my favorite last gen, this game just wasn't what I wanted. Think I was hoping it'd be closer to Prototype.

    First world problems, but I finally get rid of some BoE gloves that were plummeting in value... and I then get another pair of them the next day from the highmail raid follower mission?

    ComicBT doesn't seem as nice as when I last used it, don't see any big packs of some of the recent DC events (Trinity War, Forever Evil).

    Eh, after my Note 2 and 3 I'm really happy with my Turbo. I use the shit out of my phone and now for the first time in years I don't have to plug my phone in every night. I'm getting a solid 36+ hours out of it. That's why I opted for the Turbo over the alternatives. The turbo charging...

    I wonder what it would take for them to scrap seasons. It's not like Blizzard is one to just crank out a Diablo 4 or another expansion.

    Board Games

    Yeah, i like the general idea, just not the gist that it's basically a disposable board game Especially with how our pandemic games go... fail, fail, fail, win (which means someone did the deck wrong, fail, fail, win for real!, fail, fail, etc. Actually would be neat if they built it in a...

    Friends and I hate Descent because we'd rather all be co-op instead of someone having to play DM, lol. Played betrayal at house on the hill last weekend, that's a really fun game even though I became the traitor and lost. Looking forward to more rounds of that.

    NFL 2014 - 2015 Season Thread

    Cutler isn't going anywhere, probably cheaper for them to give Shanahan a chance at coaching his old QB again than releasing him. Nobody is going to trade for that contract.

    NFL 2014 - 2015 Season Thread

    Oakland isn't a bad job IMO, which they haven't been able to say in a long time. They've got a QB and a lot of good pieces, need a decent coach and to fill some holes and they'll be contending for that division. It's a better gig than some of these others with QB issues, that's for sure...

    NFL 2014 - 2015 Season Thread

    Big thing about Gordon is he could lose an accrued year of service in the NFL if he's not paid for 6 games in a season, causing him to wait another year for free agency. Remains to be seen if that will be an issue or not.

    Comic Books

    Marvel has been so disappointing that between their stories and the piss poor comic shop walking distance from work closing I'm probably going back to just torrenting most of my reads. Secret Wars probably get me to go and start picking up issues, but we'll see, not buying their full product...
