  1. this. what i remember most is that he always seemed willing to help. makes me wonder what Jake and Kyle are up to these days, too. anyway, RIP forum bro.
  2. they should just update the graphics on the ME3 MP. i'd buy that. also sorry i missed you the other night -- next time you're on i'll quit and join up. my B.
  3. good to know, thanks dood.
  4. . . . wow did not see that coming. well-played, Owls.
  5. i don't do a lot of baking, but i feel like i could probably handle your nuts.
  6. haha yeah me too -- i caught them on the rebound after college, so this would've been their reunion period between 2008 and 2011 thereabouts. it was just a trip to hear the hits live.
  7. listening to Core at work all day today. it's bittersweet news -- i think he still had a lot of creativity in him but he definitely lived the rock star life to the fullest. i was lucky enough to see STP twice -- the first time i was pretty convinced Weiland was lip synching because he seemed out of sync with the bullhorn parts on Wicked Garden and Crackerman. the second show he seemed to be on point and it was an amazing show.
  8. have to say i agree with this; i don't envision this game being the massive time-sink that other games have ended up being for me in the past. instead, i look at it as a pleasant occasional distraction. something that'd be fun to play splitscreen with my roommate since the learning curve doesn't sound like it's too steep, or to party up with online friends if the mood strikes. i'm still considering picking this up once i pull the trigger on the PS4 on Black Friday.
  9. i wasn't all that hyped to visit it based on the exterior alone last year, but once we got inside it was pretty special. the view of the city was excellent too -- did you guys ride the elevator?
  10. a new classic. authenticity on TV is refreshing, and this was pretty refreshing.
  11. +1 i blame lance armstrong. biking is a lifestyle for some people where i live (Cambridge, MA -- aka hipster central). personally, if i wanted to take my life into my own hands, i'd do it in a fun way, like trying heroin or something, not pedaling around on a tin frame with wheels and playing tag with two-ton machines that could end me at a moment's notice.
  12. i mean if someone were to start a Kubrick thread i'd nerd out all over it probably. but Drifter, 2001 is definitely . . . open to interpretation.
  13. hey, don't be a repliCANT, be a repliCAN. $$$. also, American audiences can't handle ambiguous endings. drugs help.
  14. jesus christ, this is the bane of my existence. unless your fucking omelette can cure cancer, i really don't need to see a shitty picture of it.
  15. finally got around to "Prisoners," been meaning to watch it specifically because it got good reviews from peeps here. not disappointed, would recommend. great modern thriller. this is the director's next movie: i also learned today that he's slated to direct the Blade Runner sequel.
  16. oh my god i can't wait to use Republican as a verb in daily conversation. that's actually brilliant, well-played.
  17. THANKS OBAMA.
  18. hear, hear. (i'm cool with marriage equality, and i have great respect for Christians who can draw this moral line between their personal beliefs and public policy). lol.
  19. i don't even know dude. when i start to criticize her, i feel like a bully. when i think about the book deal she's inevitably going to get, and the money she'll rake in from exploiting her faith and using her gov't job as a pedestal, i feel physically ill. i'll just refrain from commenting on this one.
  20. mmm so vindicated by that one. i'd go home and watch it but only Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Amazon Prime at the moment -- Season 3 is still pay to play.
  21. http://www.bdcwire.com/sherman-lea-jr/?p1=story_hp basically, never trust news you get through social media. like, fucking ever. call the mainstream media whatever you'd like . . . they may not get it right 100% of the time, but at least they have journalistic standards to meet. unlike fucking Twitter.
  22. truth. imagine all the clicks and comments the media would get if there were one.
  23. @Doc the media won't accept responsibility because we won't hold them accountable for this. i actually thought i knew where you were going with that, because when i saw that he did it on live TV and referenced other shooters, my first thought was, "when will we stop sensationalizing these guys when all it does is encourage like-minded folks?" but then you pinned it on the narrative. i can appreciate having beef with the constant narrative of racism in the media, but let's not blur the line between the narrative and actual, legit racism. he specifically says it was the Charleston shooting that triggered him, so i'm more comfortable saying, "racism helped push him over the edge," than saying, "a narrative of racism pushed him over the edge." Charleston had nothing to do with a narrative. that was homegrown racism in my opinion. i didn't see the media coverage of that as inappropriate, but maybe we disagree there. as far as what's probably closer to the truth of the matter, the VA shooter had a recent and timely excuse to go ballistic, and cited it as the cause . . . but when you're that unstable, it's hard to say that he wouldn't have done something like this even if Charleston never happened. who knows.
  24. tbh i worry about him. you know how that VA shooter described himself as being "a human powder keg for a while?" guess who that reminded me of. lol.
