    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    Yeah, I really like it (aside from 'hey, where did that earthquake happen'). Finished 5 episodes tonight and looking forward to finishing it tomorrow. Favorite thing about it is probably all of Jessica Jones' smart ass remarks and any scene where when Iron Fist explains anything about his...

    Tablets

    Probably $50-$79 for a Kindle fire. I'd lean more towards the larger size HD 8 for $79 and buy a microSD for the extra storage when needed. That's on the prior HD8, new one is virtually identical and $10 cheaper. All-New Fire HD 8 - Amazon Official Site - Up to 12 hours of battery. Vibrant...

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

    Pfft, my library will probably hit 200 games by the time it launches :p Really though, around that time it'll probably be Madden and Mordor, probably use the launch as a reason to finally play through Gears 4 and anything else getting enhancement patches I never got around to.

    I'll be getting an Xbox One X day 1. I will be going nowhere near green Doritos. Yikes. What flavor are they even?

    My son yesterday used his Dot as a confessional, begging for his Switch after a bad day - not realizing it would send those messages to us (the Alexa app)

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    I'd like to take an entire city map and play tower defense on it with waves of zombies. Let me construct towers, turrets, etc. Let players design and share challenges.

    Unless it's 'not a good value'. Battlefield: Bad Company is coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today, might be part of the EA Access vault but haven't seen that announced.

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

    Tipping point for me was when I had to pay it on multiple consoles. So I stopped paying for the one I wasn't playing as much, it became a dust collector and so I got rid of it. Will give Sony another shot w/ the PS5 if it's BC.

    We never got to our 3rd game of this. Hope we take to Gloomhaven better.

    Comic Books

    So I am a bad person and never read this book in the 90s, but apparently really big news is that with the creator's permission the final page of Batman Metal introduces People are losing their shit. Maybe now I'll try and finally start reading it, from #1.

    We have TI and one expansion, don't really play it enough to justify ordering the new edition. Wish they had the rights and could do that with Battlestar Galactica though...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    I don't think so, but the stations share some of those functions in the middle consoles.

    Board Games

    I think I'm passing on anymore components. I liked playing the game but I've only managed to get my friends to make the time twice since getting it, and I already have like $100 in extras still coming. At least they'll be neat miniatures.

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    It's less emotes and more just hand motions. With the Vive you pressed the button on the side and it pointed your finger. I think PSVR was nipple clamps, the Rift one just had some finger movement. We talked about it on my first (and only) game here (skip to the 6 minute mark). Not sure why...

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    My first game was w/ one person on every platform, voice coms worked great. Only difference between each of us were the emotes (point fingers, nipple clamps and I forget the last one)

    Other non-switch uses for our lights: - I have motion sensors now for my smart lighting (kitchen, upstairs hallway) and they activate different modes based on time of day. - My downstairs lights also flash briefly when an alarm on any echo goes off (such as 'you have 10 minutes with the kindle...

    Yeah, and I'm OK with that. And the more it's legitimate streaming the better ;) Man, got NFL2Go setup... this is damn nice quality (watching NFL Network stream) Now to decide whether or not to tinker w/ GearsTV. If we've got any games we want at 2 locations we should be good. Probably fine...

    NFL Streaming Thread - 2017/18

    MMA-TV is $10, probably won't renew it but will give it a month or maybe two, DirecTV Now I was already paying, locked in at the introductory $35/mo (their $60? package, includes HBO for a year) and then NFL2Go is a one-time $25? But yeah, have Netflix and Amazon Prime on top of that. The...

    I had to sign up for a potential slot and was then invited. I too was also intimidated by the bitcoin bit after googling around for how to buy one and not sure which site to throw bank information at. Will give Coinbase a shot if my invite is still available. Between MMA-TV, DirecTV Now...

    It's really nice, just not doing a lot of console gaming at the moment. Really like how you can just pin entire games as a section. Will have to tinker with it some more.

    Ballers (HBO show with The Rock)

    I'm guessing they're going to go the 'Raiders are going rogue and move' angle. Will be really strange if he's not successful. The season was written before the owners voted in March (the Monster Jam stuff from ep before last was shot the weekend before the owners meetings)

    Salvation

    Perfect description. Halfway through the double header (watching on Amazon, free w/ Prime) and it kinda feel like I'm slowly starting to hate-watch this like The Event just to see how it ends. How is this called Salvation if it doesn't become about what it's named after? Surprise us and throw...

    Might be relevant for some. NVIDIA helps add ultra graphics setting to EVE Valkyrie and a bunch of other optimizations.

    It wasn't even on MMA-TV best I could tell. :( I ended up getting an acestream from reddit, which after an hour or two always kills my cable modem for some reason and it has to be restarted. WIll have to give GearsTV a shot.
