I used to enjoy DDD because he featured restaurants I might actually visit at some point. However, I can't handle the editing on episodes from the past few years. Someone made the decision to never hold a shot longer than half a second, and I get a terrible headache within about 30 seconds.

I couldn't really think of any songs I hated that much, but then I remembered "Outside" by Staind and a blood vessel burst in my head.

If only NMS had come out before Pokemon Go. We'd be talking about Mario Go where you wander around a monochrome map, fling fireballs at the same three enemies (missing at least two of every three tries), and are asked to pay $20 for coins you can spend on a Yoshi egg incubator that breaks every other hatching.

I've got a decent-sized DVD collection, but almost never pull anything off the shelves. I still have dozens of movies and TV seasons still in their shrink wrap. I'd just rather find something random on Netflix than bother with discs. And if I'm just going to end up on Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, etc. anyway, why buy…

Pandemic Legacy, I hope. We lost the first attempt at January, then won the second attempt. I'm hoping we can get more than one game in this time around. Those packets in the box are calling my name.

Everyone should learn how to play Monopoly by the actual rules instead of what everyone assumes the rules are that makes the game completely insufferable.

I'd argue it's a bad cliffhanger because it fundamentally fails to understand what's important about that scene, which isn't who dies, but rather how the still-living characters react to and recover from that death.

It's like canary language some companies use to indicate whether they've been asked for records by the government. They can't say that they've been asked to provide records, but they can say that they haven't been asked, so if that language disappears, everyone knows the request has been made.

I'm going to be playing so much No Man's Sky…. I haven't figured out why it and games like it grabs me so hard, but they grab me so hard.

Ooooooo…. Super Metroid is my favorite of the series, but Metroid 2 may be my most-played game in the series. I still have a GBA SP just to be able to bust out my cart now and again.

In my situation, we were excited to have gotten pretty good, on-field, close-to-the-stage seats. The people next to us had fifty of their buddies with cheap seat tickets. "Oh yeah! You can come join us!"

I've recently been dealing with increasing feelings of loneliness and introversion at the same time I've been increasingly considering getting into vinyl. Vinyl's clearly the culprit here.

So much this. The last concert I went to, the crowd around us was really pushy and rude. My wife was with me, and she's not very assertive when it comes to holding her ground. So I spent most of the concert preparing for someone to get too pushy.

I got home from work on Monday, started the pre-installation download on No Man's Sky, booted up Abzu for the first time, and was finished with an hour to spare. Didn't notice any issues with the fish tornado, though.

Maybe you already know this, but you can interact with the ships to talk to the pilot to sell stuff and offer to buy the ship. I followed the tips in the first two hours and jumped to the next system, but felt like I was being rushed. So I spent six hours last night exploring a planet with no fauna and very little…

Abzu is almost too much like Journey. It tries to follow the same peaks and valleys, with a soaring finish, but Abzu never earns it like Journey does. I rushed through the ending to get back to the underwater exploration bits, because those are beautiful and engaging, without any impetus to push the story forward…

In a way, though, digital media allows for a more refined lovingly collected shelf of stuff. Now I don't have to wonder if a book that looks kind of interesting but that I might not care to have around forever will fit on my shelves. I can just get it digitally. If I end up considering it important or worthy, I can…

They were so very close to making the saddest movie of all time, and they held the moment so long that every time I watch I believe this'll be the time WALL-E doesn't come back.

A bit disappointed that both sides are treating Sulu like he can only be on one side or the other of a gay/straight coin. You could explain all continuity by saying he's bisexual. In TOS, he found a female partner. In 09S, he found a male partner.
