    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    Yeah, that about sums it up. It's one of the best written dramas on TV ever.

    Morimoto also had a place in Philly. I think that was his primary restaurant. To be honest, I never ate there. Wish I tried it at least once, though.

    Say what you want, but I loved that Staff of the Four. I kept the buff up almost 24/7. It greatly helped when I randomly got attacked by some shit when I was a little too aggressive, not to mention it was good for a lot of boss battles. The DD from AoE spells was seriously lessened if you had...

    Ok, my synopsis of Sanoya isn't stellar. They had good food. It wasn't great, it wasn't bad. Just a simple good. The Udon tasted fine, but I think I prefer Marukame Udon more than this place. It's a better noodle. What this place did well is that the Udon set came with a lot of food...

    It took a little bit, but I finally made it to Sanoya Ramen. For what it's worth, the udon set is now $8.75. The 4pc. Gyoza is still $3, however. When I first got here, I was the only person there. About 10 minutes later, someone else showed up. I'll let you know how the food is.

    The way Mike did his "I'm out" call to Rachel, makes me think something bad is going to happen immediately. Possibly Gallo attacking him, or staging him to get attacked. This show is about drama, and that was a scene without any. Tara is absolutely smoking. This show is good at picking out...

    I'm completely up to date on Invincible, but I really don't like the newest artist. His style reminds me way too much of the crap Marvel has been throwing out lately. Invincible has (at least for 75% of the series) used a quality artist. The guy that first started the whole thing off looks to...

    I saw the new Mechanic movie last night. Actually watched the 1st one on Sunday. Anyway, I left the theater neither pleased nor displeased. The new one definitely isn't as good as the first one was. The bad guy doesn't really learn anything during the movie, so he's "gotten" twice the same...

    Sounds like you're going to be very busy. If you like Buffets, the one at the Wynn is my absolute favorite. It's got some legendary shit in there. Best I've ever encountered, but it better for $40/person.

    I had a pre-nerf guise on my twink warrior. He also had Drelzna dropped JBoots. I remember leveling up as a wizard, when they introduced the crafted armor I was able to solo all of it. So I made a warrior and gave it to him. That's why I had to further the twinking even more with jboots and...

    I remember hanging out in the FoH irc channel back when we actually played EQ. Biny shared a Machine Head song, Descend the Shades of Night, with me there. I still have that song on the flash drive in my car. Good shit.

    Did EQ burn a big enough memory into your brain that right now you could go from Innothule down to the Lord's room in Lower Guk without directions (assuming all mobs were dead)?

    Did Furor get you into beta also? If so, what stage? I had Xarpolis the undead Mage in phase 2 beta, but I tried Szader the Orc Warrior in phase 3. Then went all Szader for the game's release. Tanking in WoW was fun.

    VT's zone gama was turned WAY fucking low. Every mob didn't blind though. Only a few. I really disliked the twin Aten Blobs, though. The ones that would gravity flux you.

    I liked being able to research spells for other people, but that wasn't a widely used (or necessary) ability. If memory serves me, I could also research for other classes, as long as I used their combine item. A wizard used a Grimoire, for example.

    We would have them tank the un-mezzable adds from the Emperor fight. That's about the extent of it, though.

    They were undeniably the best tank for single groups. So much better than warriors, and even paladins. Brael and I used to run shit before he eventually went on to dominate every SK in the game or something.

    I was a little bored by Le Reve. It was too much of a love story, compared to the others which are awesome for the sake of being awesome. Best part of Le Reve is the high dive though. That was impressive.

    My favorite show out there, which is good for everyone, is Cirque Du Soleil, Ka. It's expensive. Expect to pay around $100 per ticket, but the show is amazing. The entire stage lifts, twists, pivots and other shit. Costumes are great, as well as the "Cirque" acrobatics and shit like that...

    Oh no, Vince got fired from another job! Now he's never gonna pay the rent and Drama will have to do something with his life. (but seriously, good episode. Spence looks like he's fucked, but that's probably the show heavy handing his triumphant return)

    It did seem like it was going a little too easy for Subaru and the Knights. I'm not sure what that flower peddle was, and why he was suddenly all alone in the darkness either. It almost appeared as though Puck was waking up to his giant status, but I don't think that's it either. Hmm...

    That video was great, thanks. Also, as far as Zendaya being MJ, I've heard conflicting stories. Namely, the guy that first said she was going to be MJ is a typical "click bait" type dude, and no other "e news" groups did any research on the subject before just running with the latest news that...

    I enjoyed Shokugeki. That chick's mom is really strange, though. But the how they pretty much close the book on Soma, only to have him unveil something and credits. It's expected, but I enjoyed it none the less. But realistically, it could have also been a great chance for him to fail HARD...

    What classic childhood movie would you like to be bastardized and remade by current hollywood.

    I loved this as a kid. It would possibly work for a modern day style reboot as well. Granted, it would visibly look a lot better than the '85 version, but would it actually work with the mentality of today? I'm not sure, that's why it would only possibly work.

    We had that for a bit, but we were cutting edge. Had to trim the fat, and that person didn't make the cut. Well, they would make it, but never get loot unless no one else wanted it. That worked better. Allowed us to be ruthless without being mean to our members. We had a dwarf warrior named...

    Do you remember The Twelve Kingdoms (Juuni Kokki)? I loved that show, and it didn't dumb down the leadership of every military person. There was too much extra shit in the show, but it was great. I really wish it didn't stop after 40 some episodes.

    That's every single anime with an army. The leaders are always incompetent assholes, blinded by their pride and never allowing "lesser soldiers" (lower rank) be correct about anything. That ideology is becoming tired, but I still enjoy the show. I think it would be a lot better if they made...
