I signed my son up for a year kind of as a joke A few months ago my kids(10 and 12yr old) didn’t even understand GameStop. They asked why would you have to come to the mall to buy a game?

Game Informer is still around!?

I have not tried those. I do like pickle flavored chips though….so I might have to try these. If we’re talking junk food, anybody try Dr. Pepper Peeps? I don’t usually like peeps but I definitely just ate a box of these last night.

I just saw a video on twitter(that someone reposted from a TikTok video) of someone claiming to see dynamite charges blowing up on the bridge… You wouldn’t think I’d be surprised, but somehow that outlandish claim caught me off guard.

Bad Boys 2 is one of my all time favorite action movies. 3 was alright. I didn’t hate it but I only watched it once in theater and never felt the need to rewatch.

Good to hear you got meds. Hopefully knock that sickness out. My daughter had strep a few months ago and you could barely tell. Had a light fever so we took her to the dr. Made no mention of a sore throat or earache but came back positive on both. We asked if she had noticed the pain and she was just like “ehhh kind of”. She’s 10 yr old haha.

I’m interested to find out how many cars were on the bridge. Closest thing I heard on the news was that “sonar showed multiple cars underwater”. What a scary way to go.

The video makes it look really…not survivable

I can’t believe I never got into WoW. My friends and I were done with school and they were absolutely consumed by the game. I mostly stuck to shooters back then. Almost got talked into it many times but I think seeing how addicted they were scared me away.

Do you have a fever at all?

I didn’t even notice that lol

It was weird how the bookstore went from being attacked, to hearing “they were in the hospital”, to the dad and daughter just being fine at the end.

This was a fun Saturday night movie. I definitely preferred the first half of the movie over the last. Conor McGregor was really over the top, but it was still fun. My biggest complaint is probably the distracting cgi/vfx, or whatever the correct term is. During some fight scenes, certain things moved so quickly and unnaturally. Like something out of a video game.

News to me as well. I was waiting for someone to mention the name of the book. I thought it must have come out under a different title because I hadn’t heard of it before. Nope, it’s just called Heat 2 haha.

I’d be interested, when would we have to watch it by? I could probably watch it in the next day or two.

That’s some high tech sleeping you got going on there!

and here I was a few months ago thinking it was going to be holiday 2024. 2026 would suckkkkkk.

Went to see this movie tonight. My wife signed up for some AMC rewards program a while back, and sometimes they do member only screenings of new movies. My kids were really excited to go and got extra pumped when we pulled in and saw the Ghostbusters car parked out front of the theater. There was probably 15 people dressed up in full costume and gear which was fun. Most of them were part of the Central Pennsylvania Ghostbusters (didn’t know that was a thing) and they raise money for charity. The screening was in a nice big theater and was rather empty besides us, the “ghostbusters”, and maybe 4 other families. I thought the movie was fun. I’m not the best at rating movies these days. I feel like older kids and teens will like it. Adults will think it’s fine with plenty of “remember that/remember that person” moments. My kids are 10 and 12 years old and they LOVED it. Had some good jump scares for them. The story centers a lot around the girl, Phoebe Spengler, so like the last movie, it feels like it’s geared toward the young adult crowd. Some mild complaints(pretty much spoiler free):

Finally got rid of the horrible foam mattress I’ve been torturing myself on for two years. Got a king size Avocado Green Firm mattress. Saw they had great reviews in a lot of places. There was one single store about 10 minutes away from me that carried the mattress in store. The next closest was 100+ miles away so I was happy I could feel it in person. Slept on it about a week now and cant believe how good I feel.

After pandemic, it made more sense to buy new, especially when you can find those 0% APR deals. I haven’t kept track of used prices to see if they have come down to realistic levels yet. They were ridiculous for years after pandemic. I did all the research when I bought my used 2019 Mazda CX-5 in 2021. Consumer Reports rated it really good for reliability and everything. Then in 2023 the transmission died at 40,000 miles. I was so thankful the 5 year bumper to bumper warranty was still in tact because otherwise it would have been a $6-7k fix. Oh and then the dealership had my car from July to January because of part shortages. That’s how long it took for a new transmission to come in. Again, thankful for that warranty because it gave me a free loaner car. Otherwise I would have had to pay for a rental for 6 months. Consumer Reports has since updated their ratings for my make and model and it ain’t that great now. I guess all that to say, buying used is risky.

I know I haven’t seen an 8k tv in person yet. Would a place like Best Buy have them on display?

I’m sure it’s been said plenty by now, but cars either need to be completely self driving or not at all. This autopilot that still wants your 100% attention is just leading to poor decision making as the driver puts too much trust into something they shouldn’t.

I’ll send you an Amazon gift card. Just need an email.

I saw they added it to HBO Max if you have that?

Yeah I was going to say pretty much the same. It will be a “fun” exhibition match. I wish it could be more. It will pull in huge numbers though. Both of them have their own huge fan bases.
