Enjoy melting in the heat.

Not much different than the desert I live in now.

I'm going to be in Los Angeles over the next few nights. I'm going to go see the Mariners play them on Tuesday night. Excited!

She worked with director JJ Abrams previously in M:I III (my personal favorite) and the role is supposed to be action heavy, so I can only assume that she's a transgender Luke Skywalker coming back to life to chop a bunch of Stormtroopers in half.

The OG Xbox. I had an NES, a SNES, an N64, a PS1, then got that OG Xbox when it launched because of the hardware specs and MS brand recognition. Though I enjoyed every console before it and have enjoyed the 360 and Xbone after it no console has had quite the impact of playing Halo via system link, or the sleek sexy cars in Project Gotham Racing, or the soundtrack and sandbox of Amped, or watching a game use shadow like Splinter Cell, or made me love Star Wars again like KOTOR, or the online brilliance of Rainbow Six 3, or the anticipation of Halo 2, etc etc.

You don't actually have to be a T-Mobile customer to use it, you just have to know a valid T-Mobile number to put in.

 

 

Going up to Seattle or Portland from LA it's about half the time you're in the air, so it's still a hell of a lot better than paying to be able to get 2 hours.

For sure. But I'm typically flying to the east (Atlanta, Boston) from SLC. So it gets me about a quarter of the way there.

You animals need to use both! Aren't you studying an advanced CS degree? GOD!

It only lasts an hour though

Whoever thought up putting tiny salty whole fish on a pizza should be hung, shot, drawn & quartered THEN castrated. 

Eh, I don't love anchovies but there's plenty of pasta dishes with seafood mixed into them so it's not that much of a stretch.

I love every typical topping except for pineapple. The person who first thought that pineapple, mozerella cheese and tomato sauce should go together should have been castrated.

Born of Osiris - The Eternal Reign

 

I started listening to BoS when they dropped the Discovery. It was a pleasant find, fast technical sections, some hard chugg sections, some light synths added in, nothing ever felt repetitious on the album. Always something new and fresh in every song. Then Tomorrow We Die Alive dropped and I completely lost whatever faith I had after listening to the album. The album had one song that I found tolerable. I disliked it so much I completely avoided Soul Sphere and tER.

 

Well I got bored on Saturday and hit up the old record shop and saw that they had this album on sale. It reminds me of the reason I started listening to BoS in the first place. Less synths throughout the album overall, which isn't a bad thing, but those were some of my favorite parts from Discovery. They keep up with no chorus, each song is a new take, and back to the BoS that I enjoyed. If I have to fault anything its that they switch it up a little too much. Just when I'd start digging a part in a song the song would switch into something else.

 

I just wikipedia'd the album, had no idea the whole thing was a retake of the original (never listened to it outside of Bow Down). Its an extremely solid album (especially for their first album).

 

They were all 15, 16, or 17 when they signed with Sumerian Records. Crazy.

Uada - Cult of a Dying Sun - 7/10 (2018)

Uada's previous effort, Devoid of Light, was a surprisingly excellent freshman effort from a black metal band. My favorite part about this group is the readily evident melodic swedish black metal influences from groups such as Dissection, which are just as present on this album as they were on their last. There are some awesome riffs, melodies, and moments. Particularly in the opening track "The Purging Fire". It's full of haunting guitar overtones and harmonies, pummeling drums, and raw vocals. The album does go a bit too far into the tweedly black metal too much though. It might be due to having more songs on this album, but I feel like Devoid of Light had a perfect length and variety (within the black/death spectrum) while this album seems a tiny bit repetitive and too long for the material present.

This list literally killed me.

See my edit.

First I would install some sort of big brother apparatus that's functionally equivalent to the one in 1984. Then:

Criminalize several distasteful behaviors:

Three strikes you're out (first a warning, then a $100 fine, then permanent lifelong solitary confinement)

• Referring to Frankenstein's monster as Frakenstein
• Getting enjoyment out of anything "ironically"
• Referring to a Mazda Miata as a sports car
• Trying to pay your total at a retail store with a check

Two strikes you're out (first is a $100 fine, second is the firing squad)

• Chewing with your mouth open
• Taking up two "lanes" on the sidewalk by not walking in a straight fucking line like you've got some purpose in your miserable fucking life. FUCK.
• Not returning your shopping cart to the cart return
• Having your shitty music audible to the public around you in any form

One strike you're out (Judge Dredds get to put a bullet in your head on the spot)

• Changing lanes without signaling
• Tailgating a car that is going the speed limit or above
• Having a short haircut and asking to speak with the manager
• Saying "literally" when you mean "figuratively"? No problem. The Judge will literally kill you.

Decriminalize some inoffensive bullshit:

• Marijuana

I can't give an exhaustive serious answer so I just made a list of things that I saw, heard, or happened to me and irritated me in the last week.

They actually have them bundled together for $15.  Perhaps a refund is in order?

Shit for reals? Thanks!

I see your old earth hoax and raise you with "the sun is cold."

This is the kind of shit that makes me think the 1st amendment was a mistake.

But you still typed an 'M' in lower case?

I picked up Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and Wolfenstein: The New Order for $10 each. Probably should've grabbed the Stellaris expansions instead. Fuck.

God he's such an idiot.

Good to know. I have an S9+. I'll just go ahead and revoke that permission to the Samsung Messaging app. I use Textra though.

That one named Debbie who did all of Dallas supposedly. That should count for something.

Can't wait for the vindicated Trump tweetstorm.

Do you have a version that doesn't look like it's the result of one of Trump's bowel movements?
