  1. Things to look forward to?

    Mostly pre-ordering because its a GW adaptation. I am a sucker for non-miniature Warhammer stuff. I feel like after they fixed Rome 2 and Atilla, maybe they know what they are doing again? Plus campaign playable Chaos are free for pre-order but will be a DLC for everyone else.
  2. The threat of Big Dog

    Do you think they picked orange and black for actual reasons or did they just want to make it look super sinister.
  3. Things to look forward to?

    Warhammer Total War seems to be coming along nicely, I have pre-ordered it so heres hoping it doesnt suck. At least I will have two fun games of destroying everything as Chaos and Orcs.
  4. Front Page Layout

    Having two episodes at week would work ;)
  5. Another Red Redemption, Dead

    R* games are full of stupid protagonists going along with bad ideas formulated by people who spout annoying philosophy on unskippable traversals to missions. I despise their writing style to the point that its the biggest reason I didn't buy GTA 5. I distinctly remember characters in RDR complaining about how lawless things are, but how they resent the loss of freedom the federal government brings.
  6. New Forums! Post feedback, notes, etc here

    I was wondering what the approved image URLs are and the reasoning behind it. I have an Imgur account just for posting stuff here and wish I could just post from google photos. Thanks.
  7. Another Red Redemption, Dead

    I am conflicted. The core gameplay and world of RDR was good, but I despise Rockstars writing, both dialog and plot. RDR did lack rockstars terrible vehicle controls and invulnerable NPCs. Real question is will it be on PC.
  8. No Man's Sky

    I mean it doesnt seem to take advantage of VR very well, but it seems like a fine game
  9. No Man's Sky

    Apparently the 3-d platformer for the Rift is very good, but first person makes the most sense for VR
  10. Hitman: Steve Gaynor Edition

    Bed bananas makes weird stuff
  11. The Next President

    Slightly unrelated: I really want campaigns to stop letting Celebrities be surrogates, they seem to be best at putting their feet in the mouths.
  12. Phones

    Base models are around the same price, but Apple still charges ~$100 for each internal memory upgrade
  13. Life

    I feel like some of that is because people you grew up near/went to pre-college with weren't entirely friends you picked. They were the best of limited options. I assume this stays true if you went to a small college as well. There are only 6 people that I still keep in touch with from before college. The rest of my friends I met through clubs etc in college or are friends of friends. When I was teaching in Korea and hanging out with the other Americans there I realized just how nice it is to have friends you have things in common with, I ended up not really getting along with most of the teachers because I didn't like them as people.
  14. Life

    Yeah, either they are really spiteful or a horrible picker. It also speaks to an ability to forgive and move on. Unless that ex does something legitimately horrible, then you can hate them forever.
  15. Phones

    The biggest advantage to my mind for android is the customizability. I use a custom launcher that lets me modify my home screens to a large degree, I turned off app icon text and have 5 widgets on my first home screen. I can check my calendar, do media control on podcasts and audiobooks check the weather and search. Nova Launcher also lets me resize my app grid and widgets as i please. Android also has a lot of cool features, not sure which Iphone doesn't have until Apple pretends they invented them a few years later. From what I understand the S7 has a camera on par with if not better than the Iphone, its well built and has a responsive OS. I wouldn't worry about malware, as long as you dont download shady apps, especially from outside the play store its fine. If you are worried Lookout is a free anti-malware app that seems good?
  16. Phones

    If you care about expandable storage and removable batteries the LG G4 and soon to be released LG G5 are your only options. They are good flagship phones. I have the G4 Camera is good, performance is good, the only app that crashes regularly is tinder. If you want something cheaper I have heard a lot of good things about the Nexus line of phone. The have stock android and get upgrades before any other phones including security upgrades. The Samsung S7 is probably the best android phone on the market but there are some issues with manufacturer and carrier bloatware. I have these issues a little on the G4 but I remember my S4 having it worse. Which carrier do you use? Verizon seems to be the worst for this, I think T-Mobile isn't so bad. All most all of this bloatware can be disabled or ignored and the reskins can be fixed by apps like Nova Launcher.
  17. Idle Cook Club - Veggie Feeds-me: My Body Is Ready

    I made this recipe, turned out well, nice and tasty, the burgers were a bit more crumbly than I would like, not sure if it was my fault or the recipe (I accidentally used 1 cup of cashews instead of 3/4 cup) The burger itself was quite tasty.
  18. Post your face!

    Here is me last Christmas rocking my Krampus groups unofficial shirt: And here is me all Krampused up, I wish this was my job:
  19. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

    If they were going to put Thrawn in a film I would drop all of my objections about new star wars. I also had originally hoped that Rogue One meant it was going to be a movie about Rogue squadron. Ah well.
  20. April Fools dump

    Figured it might be fun to collect all the premium April Fools content in a thread for easy consumption. Favorite so far is Sweet Homes review of the best wire cutter. http://thesweethome.com/reviews/best-wire-cutter http://www.thinkgeek.com wasnt super great this year.
  21. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

    Bothans died to get the second Death Star information.
  22. Other podcasts

    I think of Serial as essentially a season on one episode of This American Life. Some TAL episodes are not great, so for Serial it will be a whole season you might not care about. I actually stoped listening to TAL a while back because I have started losing interest in anecdotes.
  23. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

    That director, wow. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2284484/ The writing seems very standard action movie "I rebel." . As does the over the top a few people v. several AT-ATs.
  24. The threat of Big Dog

    What if the robot revolution is started by unemployed robots who are replaced by more advanced versions? http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-35980105
