Caught the pilot at my gf's house, watched a bunch of it before I made her change it. It wasn't horrible but i thought the main character took the whole situation in stride and that bothered me the rest of the show. It seemed to be "Hey you were actually kidnapped as a child and the life you knew was a falsehood and…

I never understood people liking Chloe, she's pretty consistently been my least favorite main character of 24, regardless of season.

Odyssey is pretty much my favorite piece of literature ever so I'm sure I will be sorely disappointed by this.

I love the Iron Islands story, but I don't think its as immediately likeable as some of the other stuff. After finishing DoD and going back through the books as a whatever chapter I feel like in whatever order I feel like I saw myself going to the Iron Islands chapters rather often. Also, the first chapter (not…

Got Max Payne 3 for like 7 bucks on sale on Xbox. It got great reviews but people seemed to hate it, I'm more on the side of the reviewers. Playing it on hard with free aim makes for intense, calculated gun battles that I greatly enjoy.

I didn't even know a new Antler album was out. I've been intrigued with how their sound will evolve after the incredible "Undersea" so I'm looking forward to this.

I particularly enjoyed in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace the horrfically bad acting/always-carrying-a-shotgun of Richard Ayoade as Dean Learner as Thorton Reed. From that, I just enjoyed the gag in Darkplace of every doctor being strapped at all times.

I never got the sense that she had Stockholm Syndrome, neither in the books nor the show. I always took it as her finally opening her eyes to realize how fucked she is and trying to do what she can about it, which is not a whole lot as shes not violent. She just has to be smart and survive.

The article this links to when mentioning critics of the books is garbage.

I always of thought of the Internet as a live documentary of that. If that was you who put this whole thing together, very nice.

4 bags of Cheetos (crunchy only), a Hello Kitty Watch, a balsa tree, 45 Styrofoam coffee cups, $40 in various change, and a surprise handy but not from me nor anybody you've ever met before but by someone you surely will remember from then on.

Honestly in high school they should just teach people to use Microsoft Excel at an advanced level and then everybody could get a good paying job at any company.

Got 90% of college paid through via merit scholarship and some financial aid, 10% loans, learned a bunch, and started a good job the day after graduation (2013). I get to pay off my loans easily and live what is essentially an extension of my college style life but with more money. This documentary doesn't seem to…

The cat foot market is very competitive I find.

As am I, I thought it was a good idea with a lot of potential that just wasn't presented with enough…touch for the easily angered mob.

Its also pretty hard to move forward when the collective beast that is the Internet bastardizes and exaggerates everything you try to do and force you to backpedal and then lay into you for backpedaling.

I just bought a new TV and it can do all the streaming mumbo jumbo. Its pretty standard from what I can tell. Course I have an Xbox so I would never use the horrific Samsung interface to stream stuff.

That's why I impose my own two year buy cycle. I've noticed the online community for year-previous games typically is strong enough to sustain my interest in my not buying year.

There's not much to talk about really because the sports games are essentially "its like last years game, but better". Except unlike many other gamers I'm totally fine with that.

I never understood "core" gamers shitting on EA sports games. FIFA pretty easily has the best physics and touch to its controls of any game I've ever played while also having more complex controls than most games and its a shame so many games are clunky when the technology is clearly there.
