    You know you're getting old when.....

    Yeah, fucking kids! I played Joust and Pole Position, among other games, on my (dad's) Atari 800, that took TEN FUCKING MINUTES to load from a cassette tape. It literally made similar sounds to the modem I'd later get, except for ten fucking minutes. As far as I know, there wasn't even any...

    Battletech

    You can always hit the "Not Now" button or whatever it is when you get to the system the mission is in, and then manually advance the time one day. Or 100 days if you really want to, there doesn't seem to be any penalty for just sitting and waiting, except for monthly budget costs of course.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Coworker tells me: "I seen Affinity War this weekend." The truly rustling part is that my laziness has kept me working in a place where that sort of thing is commonplace.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I was referring to the Lumies of the world. You know, the ones that are convinced there is no possible way man could have built the pyramids, even today!! So it has to be angels or aliens.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I tagged one of those videos to watch later, the one about possible use of waterways and tubes to float the blocks to the top of the pyramids (probably was Chuk that posted it), and watched it this weekend when I was bored. Even if that's not how it was done, it kills me that people will...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Charlie is the Emergency Awesome guy that gets linked a lot. I have no idea about RLM because I rarely watch them. I used to watch Collider just because I'd put it on in the background and do other shit while they talked about upcoming movies or TV or whatever. And I'll admit, the two hot...

    Black Panther (2018)

    I managed to wait until TLJ came out on the pirate sites so I never watched anything Collider after TLJ released pretty much, otherwise I probably would have felt the same way you did.

    Black Panther (2018)

    This movie is what finally broke me of watching much of anything from Collider and Charlie anymore. Practically Collider's entire staff thinks that not only is Black Panther one of the top Marvel movies, but that Killmonger was the best villain until Thanos (and even then some of them are still...

    As someone that saw Empire on the first day, I can assure you it is the same feeling.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Sweet Baby Jesus, that was amazing. Possibly the best Marvel movie yet. Given the characters they had to work with (i.e. no Adam Warlock), this was perhaps the best version of this story I could have hoped for. I'm just fucking thrilled this turned out so well. I could nitpick a couple of...

    Battletech

    Had a dilemma last night, doing the Dropship Recovery mission my dude got incapacitated and out for 120 days! Didn't want to redo the mission so trying to avoid storyline stuff until he recovers. I don't think there's any penalty for waiting, but man that's a long fucking time to wait...

    Battletech

    Playing it from work via TeamViewer, it isn't working half bad really. No sound, but can't have everything. Since I chose a manly man, I hope I get to sex up the High Lady or whatever she is. Only seems fair.

    Come on guys, give those of us at work something to drool over! I gotta have something to get me through yet another boring workday.

    Deadpool 2 (2018)

    Yes. Everything becomes metal, even his eyeballs. I'm not sure about bodily fluids to be honest. Since I was curious, I actually googled if he bleeds, and some Marvel fansites seem to say that only his skin is metallic, underneath is normal flesh and bone. This is unequivocally false...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Speaking of this and rustles, there is a stoplight that crosses a light rail track that I pass through every work day for the past 20 years. It has several (easy to see and read) signs posted prohibiting right turns on red because there would be 3 or 4 cars stacked up on the tracks if it were...

    Those pictures make me hard. I need those in the game soon.

    I had forgotten all about that horseshit, that's how long I've been away from Battletech. Fuck me.

    Even though they are entirely impractical in most situations, Marauders (and Mad Cats when Clans become a thing) are by far my favorite mechs. They better be included from the start!

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I see the word "impossible" being thrown around a lot in this thread. Improbable? Incredibly unlikely? Hard to imagine? Sure, I could get behind most of those descriptions. But impossible? I like how evidence of people doing the exact thing claimed to be impossible is ignored, or waved...

    I have like the first 30 novels on my shelf still, purchased new at the time, and still periodically re-read the Warrior Trilogy by Michael Stackpole, that's how much I love Battletech. I had the original Crescent Hawk's Revenge the day it came out at the local computer store, and for the time...

    What did you just read?

    I have to believe this has already been mentioned here and I just can't remember, but I'm about halfway through the first book of The Traitor Son Cycle Series by Miles Cameron and I'm loving it. It took me a bit to get used to the constant rapid changing of point of view in chapters that are...
