  1. I do miss live premiers for keeping us all synced up in a thread like this. Wife and I sorta stumbled into Ep2 by watching the last ten minutes of the premier this evening, as the storm in cedar park last night woke my kids up = no more dragons, blood and sex when my 8/6 yo kiddos are freaking out. Was the intro in the first episode too? Can’t tell if I accidentally skipped it for the premiere or if they withheld it for the second episode. So far I’m enjoying it quite a bit. The stakes for the realm picked up immensely between Rhae’s flash of badassery and the conversation in the final minute tonight. Add those two up and it sets the board pieces nicely for the grand scale of tension that made GoT so interesting to me. (purposely left vague for those who haven’t watched yet) Now it just needs to show me that the writers can weave characters that I care for. It’s a little early but what made GoT so special to me was both the epic world building AND the clever dialog, murky motivations yet clear ambition inherent in each character. To borrow from my #1 show of all time: all the pieces mattered. It’s too early to really bond with the characters, but I was encouraged tonight. Agree with StruggleBus, I think 8 seasons of history + monster expectations clouds y’all a bit.
  2. Fair enough. Been trying to keep you from getting piled on as a troll from a few recent posts that were…eccentric. I’ve had my own struggles with alcohol, didn’t want to see you get negged into orbit for the wrong reason. People come in here all !!! and OH SHIT IT DO BE GOING DOWN regularly, or just stirring the pot. With your low post count and recent join date you fit the profile. Since I read the alcoholics thread was trying to let the CR assholes know it may be due to your struggles and not the garden variety dickheads.
  3. Based on the alcoholics thread he’s been sober but started AA meetings. Dude was a bit manic there to start as well…pink cloud? No judgement here
  4. That guy was smiling like he’d just found the perfect excuse to not listen to his wife whine about the neighbors, watch Real Housewives or get nagged about his honey do’s for 18 hours.
  5. Our resident Trumper lives around the corner from me, and had the works during election time…even parking his Ridgeline (so much for America first) at the edge of his driveway so the ‘Trump is working for you, help him’ sign on it faced the street. Finally met the guy at a block party last fall. Dude was pretty similar to the guy in the tweet. Afterward my wife, with over a decade in the public school system as a counselor, said afterwards ‘yeah that guy is on the spectrum’. Get that same vibe from stable genius there. Give people some way to feel special or an insider, and a certain type will latch their ego to it with a tenacious grip.
  6. Shit a few weeks ago my wife and I rented one of those BCycles…nearly got hit twice on Barton Springs by gaggles of what looked like bachelorettes trying to decide where to drink next and not paying attention. At least FitLump has airbags to cushion an impact.
  7. That was nasty. Drove down to Tomo to pickup dinner for my wife and I, sky was all kinds of gnarly. Rain started just as the kids were going to bed. Right as we were watching end of episode one of House of Dragons, shit hit the fan and scared my kiddos right outta bed in a big way…totally burned my chances with the wife, though I’m sure that birth scene wasn’t helping either.
  8. Why is it always SEALs with those clowns? There’s a whole spectrum of badassery out there, and dumbasses pick one that’s easy to refute: ”oh you do? Where’s he stationed?” ”Uhh Iowa” (Navy special warfare is pretty limited to three bases, one on each coast, and Hawaii) Say something like a CCT, Marine Raider or Special Forces. Hell my dad got his usaf career started as a reservist flight nurse and said PJs on C-130s would practice IVs on each other, or pile their duffles together for brutal games of ‘king of the mountain’ when they got bored during a SAREX. SEALs aren’t the only game in town, those idiots just furiously masturbate to Zero Dark Thirty and Joe Rogan.
  9. I can’t even stand to hear his voice
  10. We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese!
  11. Never thought this chestnut would be still useful decade+ later
  12. Yeah YGIFS needs to slow his roll. I have a lot of sympathy for him given his situation from the alcoholics thread, but then to strut into CR going all Beaker on us…
  13. Well you’re acting like you either fell off or high on PAWS or just generally manic. You’re not making a whole lot of sense and being overtly aggressive, similar to other newb/sock accounts that typically go…what’s the technical term…’bananas’ in big threads. So either take yourself a chill pill or contribute to the conversation in a serious/funny way. Else you’re not going to be taken seriously and railroaded. Guess you can then go cry about CR in DT and board discussion.
  14. Check the alcoholics thread in DT. I don’t think he’s trolling but either fell off or in a bit of a transition phase
  15. I know you’re going through a lot right but now but
  16. Wait…the cops actually found the perp?
  17. Not sure what you’re worried about. Not gonna get laid again anytime soon
  18. May want to switch out the door for solid core or something more substantial as well
