Lol I love that one. That's kind of a 2 for 1 special with that one. Because they aren't "technically free" and they "technically aren't even yours" since you lose them without a subscription. 

RIP Soulja Console/Handheld. You would have taken the world by storm

Really glad you're getting settled in your new place. Especially since the holidays are here. The updates about your son sound very rough. Keep hanging in there. 

Can't blame them. Ride that shit out while you can. Kids are crazy about Fortnite and V Bucks. Seems like a waste of time to me considering how many amazing games are out there. But if that's what the kids want

I would personally keep the tv you have now unless you have a ton of 4k content ready to watch and play. I'm using a plasma TV from 2013 that l still get compliments on all the time whenever somebody comes over. We have a 43" LG 4k HDR tv in the bedroom that usually just streams Netflix. It was a cheaper set so while I can notice the resolution difference, it still isn't THAT amazing especially compared to my plasma that has much better blacks. I'll only replace my plasma someday with an oled or a really high end Qled from Samsung.

Maybe the 1080p panels are comparatively costlier to make at this point due to lower production volumes? Which would explain not adding other features to them.

In the more recent Best Buy ad I think they have quite a few tv's on sale in the 50-60" range ranging in price from $300-500. Most say 4k HDR. Meanwhile in the same ad a 32" 1080p Samsung tv was $300.  Crazy stuff.

You know what you should be imagining?

 

The look on a scalper's face who both bought 10 of these things in hopes of flipping them.

I'd pay $59.99 to see that 

Even $59.99 doesn't change my mind about ever buying one. 

Worked half a day today. Went to my parents tonight for dinner. Had prime rib and a bunch of homemade sides. Kids opened presents there. After that went to my wife's church for the Christmas eve service. My 6 year old son has been telling everyone all day he's going to stay up to catch Santa...so that could make present time hard. I'm sure he will pass out early though. 

My happy time will be tomorrow's breakfast. We make this big egg casserole I guess you would call it in the crock pot over night. I usually go to bed around 12 so I turn it on low and its good by morning.  Eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, hash browns, onion, and peppers all melted together. Then my wife has sausage, biscuits, and gravy. THEN she made a french toast casserole thing that gets baked in the oven. I'm going to be stuffed. 

I played for 2 hours the other day and had some bad BAD games. Over the years I usually just stick to conquest mode so that's what I've been playing. That's just Battlefield to me.  These games were so horribly one sided.  I think the one game we lost was like 0-280. Campers were a big problem. I don't know the name of the maps but the one is especially rough. It's a desert setting with an airplane hanger in the middle. A couple points were so heavily camped by heavy machine gunners and snipers my squad kept getting wiped no matter which direction we went. 

Anti air guns on the map seem fucking useless. You get in one and about 5 seconds later someone snipes you or just pops up and shoots you from the side. It's like the maps aren't made for those stationary guns. 

I still dont like the flying in these games. I probably have said this in every Battlefield thread since BF2. I consider myself to be a veteran of Battlefield 2 on the PC . I put hundreds of hours into it. Flying in these new games just feel like by the time you line up a shot against a ground target you are about to crash into the ground. Then the maps feels so small you are constantly turning because your about to fly "out of bounds" and the death timer starts counting down.  I need to see if it's possible to load up a singleplayer game of BF2 on the pc. In my head it's like these massive levels with more then ample room to have fun and fly around. But with the new games it's all about funneling you right into the action non stop. 

My other nitpicks with the game are how the menus are laid out and the weapon skins. The menu part is just a personal thing I guess. It's all laid out clearly, it just feels like it can take a lot of time to customize your characters /weapons. And a lot of the weapon skins seem pointless. They just aren't that noticeable. They aren't flashy like in Call of Duty. If I scroll over in the menu and see some chrome or blue rifle skin set you can buy for 14,900 credits, it should look pretty amazing. These look boring. 

Mix all that with the couple of bad games I had, and my desire to jump in for another 30 minute match is dwindling. 

You guys looked great! And like you mentioned that wind wasnt going to quit on your hair lol. Congrats! 

I played around 2 hours so far and i didn't have a single issue. I'm dead serious. If I went in blind I would have said it was being played locally on my computer.  Fucking amazing. 

I always forget I have Youtube Red until I'm with someone that doesn't and they are like "Hey check out this video! *ad plays for 30 seconds............*.  That's when I'm like, oh yeah I don't mind paying.  Plus lately I've been listening to Youtube playlists while working out and its nice not having ads.  If I went with another music streaming service I'd probably pay almost the same price anyway.  Might as well get the videos ad free as well.

I might just be in a mood........but that trailer didn't do anything for me.  Maybe I still can't get over the casting.  Two people that starred together in Thor Ragnarok fighting people/monsters/aliens/whatever, coming together in another light hearted fun movie doing the same thing...meh.    I'll rent it at some point since I saw the other MIB movies, that's about it. 

I've been picking a random beer every week and I ended up with this along with more Mad Elf. Mad Elf is currently my favorite but tonight is Joose Juice. Not amazing but not bad. And it's brewed about 2 miles from my house haha. 

Ehhh... wasn't really impressed by the trailer.

Seems like the big news today is that in 2013 Alfonso said how he came up with the dance. 

"He tells Buzzfeed.com, quote, "There was a video of Bruce Springsteen and Courtney Cox called 'Dancing in the Dark', and Bruce Springsteen pulls her up onto the stage and she basically does that dance.
"It was also from Eddie Murphy's 'Delirious' comedy video where he does 'The White Man Dance.' What I did was ultimately take those two dances and combined them and made it my own, and made it my character's." 

http://awesome98.com/alfonso-ribeiro-says-the-carlton-dance-was-inspired-by-courteney-cox-and-eddie-murphy/

You can see the Courtney Cox and Eddie Murphy example in the link. Neither look exactly like his dance. But there still isn't much to his dance to begin with. It's just a few moves that he made recognizable when he did it. Fortnite just keeps changing the landscape in gaming and other media. We are encountering new issues we didn't see in the past. 

I liked that! Not quite what I'm used to listening to, but not bad at all. The music video was badass too. I liked that's guys gun right at 3:00. Just like From Dusk Till Dawn. 

Edit: after reading the YouTube comments.....holy hell they used a lot of characters/stuff from all kinds of media. Blade, Buffy, Pac Man on the cow catcher on the truck, and a ton of other stuff. Awesome. I'm going to have to watch it again. 

I'm interested to see how this plays out.  

In the original trailer it was all about Bumblebee and a girl.  Last night I was watching TV and a preview came on and it was all Bumblebee /Transformer action.  I don't think they even showed the girl. Almost thought there were 2 different movies coming out at once. 

Somehow I never heard of Bowsette until now lol

I'm tempted to grab this but there is no way I'd play it anytime soon. 

I grabbed Astro Bot when Gamestop had it in sale for $20. Gamestop has actually had some good sales lately...... which seems weird for them.......... 

It took me forever to scroll through the list last night on the PS4 store. The store even crashed on me 3 times while scrolling through. Ended up with

Aragami $5.99(cool stealthy ninja shadow game)

Thumper $5.99

Lethal VR $3.74

Pyre $7.99

Pretty good haul for 25 bucks. 

Oh snap

I really didn't like season 2 much.

 

Season One felt like a cool small story that took place in the 80s. Season 2 felt like a bloated, unbelievable story that took place in an 80s movie. It felt like an unnecessary movie sequel. I think they tried to hard to repeat all of the iconic story beats from season one and in the process screwed up what was so special and different about it.

 

I'll still watch season 3, but I'm no longer super excited about it.

 

This teaser looks like it's hitting the nostalgia drum a little too hard. We get it, the show takes place in the 80s. Okay already. You're trying too hard.

My thoughts exactly. I'll definitely watch Season 3.  For me though Season 2 just didn't have that special feel to it. Felt like more of the same.
