    Nightly Movie Thread

    Saw The Thomas Crown Affair again last night. This is one of those movies that I can watch over and over again, like Good Will Hunting or Shawshank Redemption. It just gets better with repeated viewings. Pierce Brosnan is perfect for the role, Rene Russo awesome as well. Highly recommend it...

    People in Los Angeles and Orange County. I'm sure in San Francisco as well. And we pay over a million. Shitty, I know.

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

    That's really interesting. For me, UC2 was the one that got me hooked. From the opening scene where you are climbing up the train dangling from the edge of the cliff, to the ending with Elena which I felt was spot-on, it's the game that got me into the UC series to begin with. I went back...

    Dark Souls 3

    I think Bloodbourne ruined me. For DS 1 and 2 I went sword and board. Now I find myself rolling around all the time like a circus clown. For those further into the game, do you find one style to be better long-term? Should I just play this game BB-style, or would it be beneficial for me to...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I'm thinking that a lot of you complaining are playing it single-player, and as a single-player game there are a lot of failings to be sure. However, as multiplayer, especially in Dark Zone, there is a lot of fun to be had imho. This is like Call of Duty MP but with higher stakes. Yesterday...

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    Link one. Genius. It's not like an involuntary hold is something taken lightly. Especially when the person can't pay and you know you are gonna take a wash on it. They held him because they felt he was going to harm himself or another, knowing they were probably going to lose money. So...

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    Wow, great response. I can see you love cartoons. Still waiting for you to explain to me why a for-profit center wants to hold someone for 4 days who can't pay. For apparently no reason, because Tarisk was completely rational by his account.

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    Again, you choose to believe everything Tarisk has told you. Sounds to me like he voluntarily chose to go seek treatment. Beyond that we don't know how they viewed his condition. Tarisk makes it sound like he was perfectly rational....in which case, he could have signed out AMA. If he was...

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    That's just the way things are, for better or for worse. We are set up to protect society against the <1% that wants to harm us. Look at how many billions of dollars we waste on TSA trying to catch terrorists bombing our planes. It's become a huge pain in the ass for travelers such as me...

    Medical Bills/Bankruptcy/etc.

    That's the way it is. No one can look into a patient's mind and determine if they "really mean it" when they say they want to harm themselves or another person. Tarisk says he was misunderstood and being sarcastic, but as a health care provider you don't have the luxury of second-guessing. If...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Two unexpected things happened last night: 1) I was able to log in without any trouble. 2) The power went down in my house....twice. The second time it did not come back on. This morning power was still out but I saw utility guys working in the neighborhood, so hopefully will be fixed...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I played this for over 6 hours last night. It felt like 1. First the bad - there is a high probability that Ubi servers are going to shit the bed tonight. Even yesterday, during a soft launch, I couldn't log in for over 30 minutes. You may see a bunch of "Romeo 2012351" or "Mike 20155923"...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Depends on the style of game of course. I'm like you in a sense, I've already shelved Fallout 4, Witcher 3, etc. I haven't subscribed to or played a true MMO in years (quit WoW years ago). The closest "MMO" experience I have recently is Diablo 3, which I haven't played in over a year, and...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Yeah for me at least Destiny was about gearing out my toons through raids. Of course with each expansion release there are the missions you have to level through, and I do enjoy those even though it's short-lived. The Crucible is OK, but also pointless since you don't get any good gear like...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Too much radio silence on raids, my guess is they are not going to be available at launch, or even close to it. I do think they will eventually make an appearance, because they have been hyping up Riker's Island quite a bit. That being said, this game is definitely more multi-player oriented...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I can understand this mentality, but it is really going to hurt you on a game like this, where the best parts of it lie in the multiplayer part. I bought FarCry4 not too long ago at discount. Was fun and worth the $20 I spent on it. However, I couldn't play and enjoy the multiplayer...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I honestly don't understand the hesitation about buying this game, unless if you plan on playing it solo only, then it might not be worth it. As a group game, at least from Beta, it has at least $60 of entertainment value in it for me. People talking about how the game looks the same at...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Played the open beta. Game is definitely different (at least DZ) solo vs. group, i.e. sucks solo, so much more fun grouped. Stuff like yellow mobs will push your shit in solo in the DZ, but in a group you have all sorts of flanking tactics available to you, not to mention being able to revive...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    The entire arc of this trilogy will probably be about Kylo's redemption, turning from the dark side back to the light. Which makes Rey's role interesting, since she seems to be the main focus of at least the first movie. They are obviously the two "main" characters this time around, and I know...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I'm still running HM 3x a week, but that's about it. Devoting more time to Fallout 4 so no time for bounties, Nightfalls, PvP, etc .... There is no need to nerf HM, it's too easy as is, with the exception of Oryx. About 1/3 the pugs I get on in Destiny LFG can complete it in under 2 hours...

    Fallout 4

    That doesn't make sense. There's only two reasons to play on Survivalist, since there isn't an achievement for finishing the game on this mode. 1) Makes the game more difficult and challenging 2) Increases the number of Legendary mobs that spawn. If the game is too hard that you need...

    Fallout 4

    Yeah I think I'm playing it too much as a filthy casual. I'm too lazy to change into CHR gear. I don't loot guns except the legendary ones because of weight limit. I'm also playing it more CoD style than VATS style, although now that it's getting harder I find myself using VATS more often, so...

    Fallout 4

    How are you buying all the ammo though? I know there is a cap exploit, but I refuse to use it. As is, I can easily spend 1k-2k in caps on ammo every visit if i had the money. I have the Cap Perk at level 1, but I rarely seem to have more than a few thousand cap on me. Am I missing something...

    Fallout 4

    Wow, not my experience at all. Granted I don't use VATS much so I'm probably wasting a lot of ammo. I have Scrounger 2 and I still have to buy certain ammo constantly (like laser and .50) I guess my aim sucks heh. Either that or I need to raise my Perception.

    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    I flew from LA to Phoenix/Tempe to see Tool at Monster Mash this Halloween. Primus was one of their openers. Granted I'm not a huge Primus fan, but I find that their music is good, bass play is awesome....but I just can't get over the lead vocals guy. Such a narrow range. Can't help but feel...

    Regarding Covenant, I'm in the same spot as you Tarrant. Same issues since I took it over, it is a nice settlement considering the walls, but I haven't gotten around to building up my settlements yet so not worried about Covenant currently, it's on the backburner. I've read though:

    Also....I could recommend everyone play this on Survivalist, or at least the next one down (Very Hard?), unless you are just trying to get through the game and see the ending, which I understand. My friend is playing this on Normal, and he doesn't understand how I keep running into so many...

    Fallout 4

    I think part of it is just the size of the game. It's fricken huge. I've been playing almost non-stop since release, I'm at level 21, and I'm just now into Diamond City. I've found 2 bobbleheads so far and maybe 15 magazines. I know there is a shit-ton more to do. So it may seem like there...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Honestly you should be fine. I actually think the difficulty decreases the farther into the raid you go, up to Oryx. If I was to rank difficulty from easiest to hardest it would be daughters--->golgoroth--->warpriest---->totems-------------->Oryx (Oryx being much much harder than the rest)...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I killed Oryx yesterday using that strategy. It works well if everyone is on point, but imo opinion it's more gimmicky than the traditional method. A few observations: 1) It's easy to die while trying to jump up on to the daughter platform. In my group we had 5 warlocks and 1 hunter (who...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Oryx was always a DPS check, just seems easy now because everyone is levelled up properly, but I still remember the early days when it was touch and go whether or not you could stagger him. One person dead meant a wipe. Nowadays if 2 or 3 people have ToM you are fine. Assuming all the...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Oh I agree, you tend to use your super less with Sunsinger, which goes naturally with Tlaloc's perk. I personally use Tlaloc as a PvP weapon though, there are better choices for me for PvE, so rarely if ever do I use Tlaloc with Sunsinger. In PvP, I usually go Stormcaller, sometimes Void...

    I use Rainment all the time, but I got lucky and I got two of them, both 310s, both with int/disc, just so happens one increases armor when using a solar class, the other one increases armor when using an arc class. As always though, wear the items that get you the highest light level. If I...
