Finally got around to trying the pumpkin ale. I was shocked how good the taste was. If you find any enjoyment out of pumpkin spice flavor this is legit. You were spot on about how it tastes like it smells. My wife isn't much of a beer drinker, the most she will ever get is Miller Lite. When she tried this her eyes got wide and was like . She immediately said the rest of the bottles were hers....so I'm going to have to buy more if I can.

I commanded Alexa to get into a pillow fight with Cortana but nothing happened.

Knife fight please. There can be only one 

I watched the first episode but haven't gone back yet. Definitely one of those loud screaming bad word type of shows. 

I can't handle this

At home watching a movie with the wife tonight. Had to make my old favorite whiskey ginger.

Picked up a 6-pack of Great Lakes Octoberfest. Pretty good. Low IBU, which I like, but it's a little salty. 

 

 

Also picked up another pack of Whole Hog. 

I had the Oktoberfest with dinner the other night.  Pretty good!  Didn't get around to the Pumpkin Ale yet.

I got weeks though. Not 1-2 years

The manufacturer would probably blame the light fixture or wiring haha

So I lived in NC for a year and had Duke energy as my electric provider. When I first signed up I was given by them a box of free CFL lightbulbs. Great! I thought.

 

They each lasted a few weeks of normal use, when they should last for years.

 

That's my Duke energy story.

 

They've been having coal Ash issues for years now, so this is no surprise to me. I wonder how far upstream this is.

I feel like light bulbs lasting years is some bull shit.  Usually in the fine print it's based on some strict routine like on for so many hours per day, not turned on/off multiple time per day. Because I've bought expensive name brand led bulbs that claim 20 year life span and I've replaced quite a few of them after 1 or 2 years. 

We need to arm all mattresses! Arm all mattresses!

Okay, I'm REALLY liking Mrs. California. So far it's my favorite of Season 8.

That was a good episode haha. 

Looking at that mugshot, I'm not surprised. 

I know absolutely nothing about Captain Marvel.  Not in any rush to see it but I will eventually since it ties in with all the other movies.

I feel like I should be more excited for this.  I see the tiny console and I'm like hell yeah i want that, it looks awesome!  Then you watch the blog video and see the games its playing and suddenly I'm like meh never mind I'm good haha.  I love me some PS1 games but Its kind of hitting that spot where the games might be too dated for my taste.  The Nintendo stuff works better for me because its mostly 2D art. Mix all that with a $100 price......I have to pass.  

This HAS to have Metal Gear Solid on it right.  Like literally has to.  Part of me is hoping for whatever reason they can't get it just so I can see the internet react

Stock was low but I was able to grab a 6 pack of the Pumpkin Ale. Probably be a few days before I get around to trying it. 

I had never been to this beer distributor before but it was awesome. Selection was crazy. They have like 4 or 5 aisles of different stuff, not even including all the regular beers. 

Breski Beverage

Yeah! Take that China!

Agreed, I feel if I don’t grab a pair the already crazy price is just going to get worse. 

The NES controller holds a special place in my heart. But I'm not even going to bother going after these. For the price, their use seems too limited for my taste. 

My 6 year old went to put the Switch down on the tv stand which is a glass shelf. In typical little kid fashion the Switch magically just flipped out of his hands when it was about a foot high off the table top when it crash landed face down. Everything seems fine with it though. I guess the joysticks took most of the impact and cushioned the fall

Does Black Ops only work in first person?

Yes and that's a huge deal breaker for me. I didn't check the PC settings to see if you could widen the field of view, but I had that typical Call of Duty bullshit death where I ran out of a building and immediately got killed by someone just outside of my fov.

Where do you live?

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area

Do you guys have any recommendations for a "Fall" beer that's more readily available?  I love beer but I'm so overwhelmed by the choices i never know where to start when i wan't to try something new.  The biggest problem I run into is somebody recommends a beer and it's no where to be found in my area.  Emblazon posted Whole Hog Pumpkin Ale which sounds cool and their website says a distributor has it about 8 miles from where i live.  Might drive out and pick it up if I get a chance.

Just put in a few rounds on the pc.  I'll start by saying i really like PUBG in the 3rd person view.  I've tried Fortnite so many times and always come away hating it.  I don't know how people are so obsessed with it.  In general I don't think I ever really liked the whole concept of these battle royale games where you put in 5-20min and spend the majority just collecting shit and occasionally having a gun fight.  I come away never feeling like I accomplished anything.  On to Blackout............ really not a fan.  The gunplay is very Call of Duty which is great.  I do like that you can stand a chance in a gun fight with all of the generous healing items.  Many times I would get hit and was able to get to cover and heal and keep playing. 

Thats about where the good ends for me.  The way they strung the maps together really wasn't as cool as I had hoped.  Nuketown is just a bunch of shacks/deserted houses which is unrecognizable to me. The last time I saw Nuketown was the first time it was introduced into the series, and then later on with the future version.  This was neither of those.  I was also just bored running around in the game.  In one game I came in 3rd which was good enough for me.  After that I would just jump out with big groups and land with a bunch of people.  I found that a lot more fun even if it meant dieing right away. 

This definitely won't pull me back into the COD series.  Especially since I own PUBG and Fortnite is free to play.  Blops 4 won't have a singleplayer campaign.  I never liked the Zombies mode.  So there is no way I'm going to buy Blops4 just for the muliplayer mode.

While S8 was airing I really didn't like Robert California. Later when I rewatched it he became one of my favorite characters. 

The guy the plays Toby looks a lot different towards the end. Not sure if he was sickly because he looks pretty bad compared to the early seasons.

I pretty much fell out with South Park after Season 17. I think Black Friday is the last episode I thought was truly top tier.

That's the same spot I fell of the South Park train.
