  1. Love the hypocrisy,  If one of Trumps boys had possible emails like this, everyone would be calling for an investigation, and asking why the media isn't reporting on it and what the government was going to investigate it.  Another impeachment trial would be coming.  

    It almost feels like we are in the early times of the CCP, state media and free speech censorship.

    I miss investigative journalism.

    Leisure Suit Larry...  There was the verification, I would yell out the questions to my parents downstairs and they would tell me. Lol.  They had no Idea what I was doing, but you there were like 5 questions you had to answer to start playing that were about things a kid wouldn't know.

    Pretty much everything LucasArts made for a period was amazing. I don't even like star wars, I'm not really a star wars fan. I didn't watch any of the new movies and don't have strong opinions about the prequels. I just like the games. Their first person shooters during that era were amazing as well, they rivaled the top stuff from id at the time.

    One of the best studios to ever exist. It's a huge shame Disney ate them up and they haven't really done anything since.

    People shit on George Lucas all the time, but the guy was great to the video game world. One of the first people on the planet to really explore what you could do with video games as a real medium. How many other movie producers were founding video game studios in 1979?

    Preach Brother, I played every Lucas Arts and Sierra game in the 80's, early 90's, good times.

  4. I'm going to cut off my 12" beard after 2 years, I'm bald, so I got thinking about hair...

    It reminded me of this great documentary.

    I saw it's free on Youtube.

    I recommend watching it at least once,

    It is great entertainment and very informative.

    It's crazy what women will do for "Good Hair".

    Ok, yeah I guess that's just my ignorance and using nothing but laptops the last few years.  We're going to research which PCI-e cards are compatible with this motherboard.  Thanks again ya'll.  

    I'm with you, it would seem like in this day and age when a wifi chip and blutooth chip are maybe a dollar, or so, they can't just throw them on there.

  6. I don't follow the console wars much anymore, but I heard the XBOX Game Pass is getting the EA Pass.  That's pretty cool.

    I signed up for the Ultimate Pass like 2 years ago for cheap, I should have gone the max 4 years.

    I don't game that much, so I like having the option of all those titles to check out, and maybe buy a blockbuster here and there.  I wonder what the pricing will be? How much is it now?

    I like the cloud gaming also.

    Hopefully more games will go cross-platform so people don't have to choose a system based on a title and what their friends play on.

    I'm thinking about just getting a better PC video card, and VR headset, the new oculus is cheap, I'm surprised this generation Consoles didn't push into that area more (so far).

    I had been waiting for Star Citizen since I heard about it, The new Star Wars Squadron or whatever looks cool, throw back to the only Tie figher days in the early 90's

    I can't get through Last Kingdom.  Does it get better?  I may be on Season 2:3

    Damn, that's one of my favorite shows.  If you are not into it the first season, then I guess I wouldn't bother.

    Just finished Enola Holmes. Great fun movie. Netflix really needs to up their preview game when you are scrolling through the options. I would have never watched it based on the preview they show except for the recommendations on this thread.

    Yeah, netflix needs to get rid of that teaser, and offer trailers and cast, etc like Amazon.

  9. also, after having watched every single reality show that Davonne has done, it was beyond obvious that the producers were telling her to, for lack of a better term, "black it up" if you will, during her DR sessions. it's no secret that they ask that of the black women they cast, it was just obvious that Davonne was happy to oblige this year, and she definitely got more air time for it. 
    That's a new one to me. What is blacking it up?
  10. I did this awhile ago.  When they call, just say their “tv tuner” must be broken.  Then delay a few weeks before you can come look at it and then say you called a TV repair shop and the part has to be special ordered.  If you can make it it a month, you will be amazed at how normal your parents will seem.
    Great job, you have to censor people for their own good. You should start stealing their money also, so they don`t donate it to things you don`t approve of.
  11. I celebrate pickled anything. This place makes the best pickled stuff I've found, I found them in Fredericksburg a long time ago, and at farmers markets in Austin.
    I love pickled carrots most, but rotate between okra, pickles, green beans, for a texture change.
    Looks like they offer free shipping over 40.

    I make mine every now and then, want to try fermenting.b364696a3040aabe87f63b42834c3f89.jpg

    "Kill All Cops And Their Family"

    In that NYTIMES articled I linked yesterday, There was also this quote in there:

    Quote

    They gathered in an unlit park in a residential neighborhood around 8 p.m. Everyone wore black, including some protesters who had on body armor and motorcycle helmets. They hastily set up picnic tables and supply booths in the dark, using cellphones for light to showcase their goods. There was a food table overflowing with protein bars and Monster energy drinks.

    A small free literature selection was set up on the grass and overseen by three people in ski masks. It was a popular offering, and people crowded around, craning to see the pamphlets.

    Titles included “Why Break Windows”; “I Want To Kill Cops Until I’m Dead”; “Piece Now, Peace Later: An Anarchist Introduction to Firearms”; “In Defense of Smashing Cameras”; and “Three-Way Fight: Revolutionary Anti-Fascism and Armed Self Defense.”

    I googled those titles, They come from An Anarchists Library.

    Absolute Hostility

    To begin, we wish to address a simple yet potentially contentious issue which will form the basis of our appeal here. Police Officers must be killed, the families of Police Officers must be killed, the children of Police Officers must be killed, the friends and supporters of Police Officers must be killed. We mean this both materially and immaterially (though both meanings do not necessarily apply to all of the above examples[2]); in undoing the murderous reign of terror inflicted upon us by the guardians of ‘civilization’, it is required not only to wipe them from the face of the earth; but further that we act in such extremity that the reemergence of any ‘police style’ force inside the reality proceeding policings’ annihilation is not only discouraged, but is in fact impossible.

    nothing can top shackleton and a handful of men sailing 800 miles from elephant island to south georgia in a lifeboat with primitive navigation equipment.  the drake passage is the worst piece of water on earth.

    This was a good movie on Shackleton with Kenneth Branagh, when I was searching for it on Google, I saw Tom Hardy is supposedly doing a movie on him soon also.

    Wow, we are now to the point of,  "take down your American Flag or we will burn your house down."

    Quote

    PORTLAND, Ore. — Terrance Moses was watching protesters against police brutality march down his quiet residential street one recent evening when some in the group of a few hundred suddenly stopped and started yelling.

    Mr. Moses was initially not sure what the protesters were upset about, but as he got closer, he saw it: His neighbors had an American flag on display.

    “It went from a peaceful march, calling out the names, to all of a sudden, bang, ‘How dare you fly the American flag?’” said Mr. Moses, who is Black and runs a nonprofit group in the Portland, Ore., area. “They said take it down. They wouldn’t leave. They said they’re going to come back and burn the house down.”

    Mr. Moses and others blocked the demonstrators and told them to leave.

    “We don’t go around terrorizing folks to try and force them to do something they don’t want to do,” said Mr. Moses, whose nonprofit group provides support for local homeless people. “I’m a veteran. I’m for these liberties.”
