    Your games of the year!

    Rocket League for me. Most of the other contenders I haven't had the time to really dig into. I'll have to try it. I never got through the original story in SC2 in part because it feels claustrophobic after so much time with games like Supreme Commander, if that makes any sense.

    We didn't have it too bad, sensitive formula fixed most of our woes (post-boob milk). Bloodwork came back on my son, all normal. Still working on getting in to see a shrink. Best luck we've had this last week keeping him home is ignoring the hitting as soon as he doesn't get his way or...

    Board Games

    Not many in my group like the Descent style games. We're really big into co-op stuff, and stuff like Descent would probably be more up our alley if the bad guys were deck-driven or something instead of player-controlled, if that makes any sense.

    I'd get Pandemic first btw, play it a number of times and if people are into it then give Legacy a shot. It's a relatively cheap game and should be in the collection. People might not like losing, and Pandemic is one of those games where you'll probably lose a lot.

    Played a few kickstarters last night. Burgle Bros.-Burgle Bros. - Home Fun 4 player heist game, have to reveal rooms on each level to open a safe and find the stairs, all while dodging a guard. 3 levels of this for the scenario we played. Played a couple of games and nearly beat it on the...

    Marvel's Jessica Jones

    Even as a Marvel guy these are characters I've never really been interested in and other than Luke Cage being a brick know little about them... excited about all the earlier reviews and the second trailer has me really, really excited to dive in.

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    If the Echo was $99 we'd probably have a second one for upstairs. My toddlers like talking to it and dancing and stuff too, it's great. Especially when I want to hear the Who Let the Dogs Out, Let it Go, Wheels on the Bus, Gangnam Style and Watch Me (Whip, Nae Nae) over and over. Oh, and...

    Deadpool (2016)

    Yeah, X-Force was pretty awful after Remdner's run. I'd put the Dark Angel saga up there w/ Age of Apocalypse as one of my favorite Marvel stories. Old X-Force (and all the Image Extreme stuff like Brigade, Bloodstrike, etc) are readable in context IMO (check brain at the door) and were...

    Actually wasn't a fan of 7, it was like reading a digital issue of Injustice, which is half of a normal issue. Not sure if it's because of the delays or how much of the story is in other books, but even the main Secret Wars book feels really disjointed to me now.

    Yeah, my wife usually expects my son to apply logic to decisions mid-tantrum and usually feels like it just doesn't help things. Simple things like 'sit on the couch and you get xyz back' simply are not going to happen until he's done and often feel like they just push him further 'away', you...

    Religion was never really a thing in my family and as a result I'll teach my kids to simply be respectful of others beliefs and support them if they gravitate towards anything in particular as they get older.

    I've never been a fan of how everything was in apps. Love the new guide but the last couple of preview updates it has gotten slower and slower, something they improve hopefully. I'd even take another 3-4 seconds of load time on boot (if there's a profile w/ auto-login present) if it went and...

    I didn't realize my Music sub was getting me a Red sub also. Thought it was just a trial that would nag me when it ran out or something. I use Google Music mostly for a few specific stations (like 90s alt ballads) and when I fixate on bands so I can go and just play top songs and I'm set for...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Don't really care, they're intentionally churning people from Uverse and trying to get them to DirecTV, if they don't make DirecTV the appealing option they lose that customer completely. I'll make the switch myself if it makes sense.

    Battlestar Galactica

    If the mini-series and first few episodes don't grab you enough to trudge through the poor parts of some seasons it might not be your thing. Still one of my favorite shows ever, but pretty much anytime they're not on ships it goes south a bit.
