The CR1125 is actually a cool beastie (powered by Rotax instead of H-D).

I feel like Kawasaki has unseated Suzuki as the defacto ‘asshole biker/squid’ bike of choice. No reflection on Kawasaki really, they make great products and as far as I know don’t promote anything like this. Just seems like more Ninjas and less Gixxers playing the fool lately.

Not surprisingly, chasing numbers introduces all sorts of problems. Correct, they are fudging by lifting like that.

Declined bench presses recruit more of your back muscles, so you can do more weight. Inclined uses no back and some shoulders instead of lower chest, so they are harder than normal bench. On a flat bench, it’s considered bad form to arch your back, since that turns a normal bench press into a declinated bench press,…

I felt like it was clear that Barb was that character that dies early on in order to establish the threat/rules of the world. I guess not everyone thought so.

Agreed. I’m 37 so I recall the inspirations for this show. Strange Things was good and not great, and there is 0 reason to expound upon the events of the first season for a second season (I do welcome another storyline and actors though.)

I find it sort of interesting, that the newer ‘princesses’, like Rosalina and now this brought-to-current design of Pauline, are sexpots/fatales in design.

It’s much better than the 360 avatars, which I hated, since it seemed like such a bad compromise between the excellent cartoonish minimalism of the Mii and the bad photorealism of Playstation Home, inhereting the problems of both. This is much better, however.. I would ask that they not force me to have one, like they…

counterpoint FOOOTBAAAAW CULTURRRRRRE

mmm, extra mediocre

Nice. I’m having fun in the game despite the feeling that I will soon be over it. One thing I immediately wanted, was this game with Battlefield 4's superior feeling of self in world (vaulting, crawling, climbing, etc.)

they want to make that 10 YEAR PLAN MONEYYYYY

I... really don’t care for Jennifer Hale’s VO - at least this ‘character’ that she sometimes voices, the husky monotone. It shows up in several other games as well I think.

For some reason I get uneasy when I see white people living in other parts of the world like this. Well, when they’re living there and acting like this. Feels like a weird kind of privelage tourism. “I’m slumming it here haha!” Probably something to do with the terrible rep of white people in southeast asia/Thailand…

He has an amazing eye for visceral action. It’s incredibly frenetic but you never have a hard time following what’s happening. Everything else sort of falls apart - Elysium was good in the first act then became utterly awful (except for Sharlto Copley’s super weird merc). He definitely needs someone else’s script to…

I’m oddly up on Soldier 76's skin for this Anniversary Event - which looks like it belongs here.

Interesting. The posters look very good (i.e. genuine).

Conspiracy peddlers are oddly hypocritical in matters like these. I think the push is going to be similar to ‘dumb media goes insane over orb pictures’. Conspiracy theorists only want certain ideas pushed; coincidentally, ideas that align closer to their worldview than not.

Are the ‘illuminati, lizard people, moonbase, etc’ die-hards sort of freaking out about the ‘touch the orb’ pic? I feel like that’s the sort of fuel that keeps them going. Did they ever think Trump was not part of the secret society?
