    I've never played Smash before, but I may pick up the Wii U version. I'll see how it looks.

    I haven't seen it yet. I would assume maybe noon? No idea though.

    Homeland

    Did anyone notice the new camera style for these episodes? They don't seem to be using any sort of stabilization, and some of the different scenes (Saul's apartment for example) really show off just how wobbly the camera is. I hope it doesn't stay that way for the whole season. I hate...

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

    If I recall, when games first came out on the PS3 that also worked for the Xbox 360, they were noticeably slower and had other graphical issues. The reason is that the PS3 was harder to develop for, and you couldn't just toss a 360 game into a program to have it transfer all the files into PS3...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Both the Manga & Anime are finished. I never read the Manga, so I can't comment, but people who did both said they preferred how the Anime wrapped things up because the Manga left things on a shitty note. Another page or two would have made all the difference, which is what they added to the...

    Wilfred

    I finally finished watching the last season. I've been watching Wilfred since the first episode a few years ago, but had to back burner these latest episodes for whatever reason (then forgot about them all together). I'll say that the show ended on a positive note. Ryan is fucking crazy, but...

    Smartphones

    Nothing quite like that, but when I got my Galaxy S3 on release (Verizon), I had 4g coverage almost everywhere. At some point, they changed it. Now I no longer have 4g while at work, and resetting the phone doesn't change that. It also drops out a lot more frequently than it did previously...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    *shrugs* I've been reading it for almost all 15 of those years. Maybe a year or two shy of that. Anyway, it'll be nice to be over. Initial D, Claymore, Naruto.... maybe we could add Bleach to the list soon enough.

    You don't think Disney has the ability to cast the same actors also?

    Facing foreclosure on a home

    Mine's 1400 as well. However, it was $205k for that 1400... town house no less, so my neighbors house is attached to mine. Fortunately I'm the end unit, so only 1 neighbor to annoy me. My mortgage is around $1650/month, with PMI. I got in right when the 100% finances were coming to a close...

    I preordered through Amazon. They initially told me it would be delivered on the 17th, but now it says the release date is the 23rd. Mine is Verizon, though.

    Deadpool teleporting around with optic blasts while having katana's up his arms similar to wolverine claws? Nah, that'll never happen!

    Hush was an interesting story arc, and Jim Lee's art in those issues was beautiful.

    Anthony Bourdain Parts Uknown

    Ok, let me fix the last post. He was nominated for an Emmy for his Beirut episode because it documented their experience when the Israel-Lebanon conflict happened in 2006. They were filming when the conflict broke out. No Reservations, season 2, episode 13. He officially won an Emmy for...

    Anthony Bourdain Parts Uknown

    That was the episode he got an Emmy for. He was in Gaza during a revolution (it happened while he was filming at least), so they played it out. Oh wait, that has a CNN logo, so maybe that isn't the episode he got an Emmy for doing.

    The Walking Dead

    I'll watch it, but I'm not pumped with excitement about doing so. So I guess put me in the minority as well. Or maybe somewhere off to the side of them at least.

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    Update on Guardians of the Galaxy Blu-Ray. Amazon just emailed me saying it has a release date of December 9th. So yeah, it'll absolutely be out by Christmas this year.

    Yeah, but Penguin was talking to the kid's Mother. After the hang up, he told the kid "She didn't believe me. You must be quite the scamp."

    Actually, just found a possibility on the intarwebs.

    First episode was the guy doing standup as they stopped by the Fish club thing. I didn't catch 2nd episode Joker.

    Anthony Bourdain Parts Uknown

    Yeah. I definitely became much more of a foodie after watching his shit. I started to realize there was more to food than just eating at the local Applebee's. Now I go out of my way (and spend a lot in the process) to have good food from all over.

    Investment - How should I do this?

    Hmm, I'm confused now. I was under the impression that the company would match 50% until they hit 3% of my total, not if I hit 3% of my total. Meaning 1 = 1.5, 2 = 3, 3 = 4.5, 4 = 6, 5 = 7.5, 6 = 9. At least that's how I understood it. Maybe they only do 50% until I hit 3% of my total...

    No Reservations, Season 6, episode 16. Liberia. No Reservations, Season 9, episode 3. Sex, Drugs, And Rock & Roll. I don't know for sure on this one, but supposedly at least some of this episode is in Liberia as well.

    Summer 2014 Anime Thread

    I just saw episode 47 of HxH. It was really awesome. Kurapika is a fucking boss. I watched him punk the badass solo Phantom Troupe guy something fierce. That was sweet.

    Snowblowers

    Exactly. Higher octane will run purer, leaving your engine cleaner in the long haul. Lower octane has the chance of leaving carbon inside the engine. For the duration of time you will own a snow blower, it pays to invest a few more dollars in the gasoline you use on it. Also, buy some...

    I really enjoyed The Giant Pool of Money episode. Listened to that a few times over the past few years.

    Yeah, I have every episode of No Reservations & Parts Unknown on my comp. One of my favorite episodes was about a restaurant in Italy called El Bulli (it has since closed down). You should watch that episode just because of how amazing the food was. No Reservations, Season 7, episode 12...

    Investment - How should I do this?

    Looks like I was wrong when I said it earlier. My company does 50% match up to 3% of your total, so I invest 6% every week getting me 9% into 401k.

    I really liked the episode, but expected some type of reference to Ebola outside of it just being in the title. Damn gluten!

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    No. The three top guilds are doing a friendly rotation of the warders. You get to kill them once every 3 weeks. Unless one of the rotation doesn't kill them on the first night, then it becomes a FFA. Just remember, you only get to kill 3. GOTTA leave 1 up.

    The Beer Thread

    I haven't, because Pennsylvania is archaic in their liquor laws. Have any of you tried Ayinger's Oktoberfest? It's so good. $60 for a 20 bottle case, but so good. Oh, each bottle is 16 oz instead of 12.

    Did you guys hear about this? A friend of mine turned me on to it. He explained it as "It's kind of like learning that the sky is really purple, not blue". Supposedly a really good listen. I plan on listening to it some time this week. The Secret Recordings of Carmen Segarra | This...
