Yeah, BBB. Not sure how I'd get it to 55 degrees, but I do have a wine glass to drink it out of.

You can either just leave it in the fridge and then let it warm up before drinking. Sometimes bottles might tend to gush if you do that though so it is not the best method.

Otherwise, just put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour before drinking. Drink it relatively slowly and see if the flavors get more pronounced as it warms. If so, then it was a little colder than needed so you will know for next time.

Acting is great, directing and set design is good. Writing ranges from ok to bad. I was so disappointed when I finally watched it all the way through when it came out on DVD. If it didn't have the crutch of great, big name actors holding it up I don't think it would have received a 1/10th of the praise it got. I have zero hype for season 2 after watching season 1, Fargo S1 (which I was watching around the same time) was so much better.

Yeah. I wouldn't even call the acting great. Mcconaghey did pretty good I guess. I really just am not a Woody Harleson fan.

Anyways, it's a decent but not overly compelling 3-hour cop drama dragged out into a pretentious 8-hour philosophical dialogue filled snoozefest. Color me unimpressed. If season 2 is from the same writer and director, I no longer have any interest. What a disappointment after all the praise I've heard for it.

Today some dude on the radio...not a caller, but an actual host of one of the local shows...was saying that the AFC East has consistently been the toughest division in football for the last 10 years.

I'm not that into football, and even I know that isn't the case.

Thanks. Thought it looked pretty sweet, though I prefer the old spinning Buck of yesteryear. Hoping to take my son to see them when they play the Lumber Puppies up here just before thanksgiving.

haha, what a tool. He's probably a secret Jets fan.

 
I love regular Wild Cherry Pepsi. And Cherry Coke. I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with a cherry flavored soda. But you might as well drink antifreeze if you're going to be drinking diet. 

But soda is awful for you whether it's diet or not. I love the big push now for sodas that have real sugar in them. Well yes they do, but it's stay way more fucking sugar than you should be ingesting so it's in no way at all good for you.

As in, consistently the toughest to say who would be the worst out of the three teams not from New England.

You do not have to, but it wont hurt it either. You just have to be careful if you keep it in the fridge and want to let it warm up to drink it. If you do that with the cap still on, it can build up pressure in it and cause it to want to gush when you open it. If you pop the top and then let it warm, you will lose some carbonation and it will be slightly flatter than it otherwise should be. It is just trade-offs. At my friends where I do most of my drinking, he has a mini fridge that does not have a freezer. Since many people buy it for wine, it will go as high as 55 degrees, so we dont have to worry about all this stuff.

To make things more complicated... all hoppy styles (which this is not) are better to be kept cold because the hops wont fade that way. Thing is, many people believe the same happens to coffee flavors in beers like BBB. With that said, if you are going to drink it soon, that is not a concern. I have many beers that are 5 or more years old. You would not want to do that with that beer.

Just finished Snowpiercer. fuck you guys that wss great. I don't think you need to buy into the implications about society or whatever for it to be enjoyable. It was really well paced and totally kept my interest throuhh the end. I think it's just the nature of hype. When a movie (or game) reviews really well people get so over critical. I thought it was unique and it left me thinking about it. Thats enough for me considering all the shitty movies that come out anymore.

Gotta remind myself to disregard mpaullin's opinion on everything from now on.

Sorry about your gramps, but fuck you Therm! I am fun! I would have even treated you to Popeye's AND bought you your own drink!

What part of SLC were you in?
Click to expand...
Herriman. My uncle owns a house there. He had it built in 2005. It's 9000 sq ft and has a ~1500 sq ft downstairs apartment for the grandparents. That's only about half the basement, though. In-ground heated pool and jacuuzi, the house is really really nice, and they've got five kids. His wife is a stay-at-home mom. Not like she doesn't work with the 5 kids and the giant house, but still, he had the house built at the height of the housing bubble on his own salary alone. He was 34 at the time--same age I am now. I shoulda been a dentist. Goddammit. Plus he's a minister or whatever at his church and you know he's giving his tithing. He's got two practices and works a lot of hours, though.

Sounds nice. Herriman is in BFE, which is why there is room out there to build such large houses. Assuming he's Mormon (sounds like it based on the stalking of him I just did) then they're called Bishops, if you care. And yeah Mormon's are pretty damn serious about giving 10% tithing.

Therm, how was demon gaze? I've heard mixed thoughts on it. I need to make my christmas list for Santa. O:)

If you have any interest in dungeon crawlers then you should absolutely get it. It's really really good. The graphics turned me off at first and I didn't almost didn't buy it because of that. The screenshots all show giant anime pictures everywhere, but you only see those during dialogue or when giving your characters orders. The vast majority of the game is just exploring very large dungeons. The class system is pretty good and each is very distinct, there is a ton of armors and skills, there are 10 demons which all have their own abilities and benefits (you can have up to 3 equipped at a time), and the dungeons are very varied. There's actually a ton of unique monsters as well, plus the bosses are fairly distinct; most of them are the demons you fight and then after beating add to your arsenal of demons to summon.

The story isn't anything amazing, but fuck stories in a dungeon crawler. That's not what dungeon crawlers are about. There's enough story to provide a narrative to keep you going, and that's it. Done and good. There are three difficulty settings but even on normal you'll get toasted quite a few times, and there's a learning curve and definite need for strategy on how to approach different types of monsters and bosses. There's an auto-map (people that want to map manually are crazy IMO) and the auto-move function is amazing; you just call up the map, select the point you want to go to, and away you go; even if it's 5 maps away as long as you don't have to traverse rotators (they get you turned around in the map, but are rare) or go up/down a floor it'll get you there.

The majority of the trophies you'll get simply from playing through, but there is a handful that you have to go out of your way for and those do take time and effort. There's also some post-game content that adds a chunk of hours as well.

Get it.

Yeah, Mormon. And his house was the first in the area, and they developed tons around there afterwards. The location is pretty damn cool, too; he's at the end of a cul-de-sac and his backyard is a couple of small mountains right there that the kids can run around on. Facing the other way he can see the whole valley which lights up like crazy at night.

Boardwalk Empire or Game of Thrones, which should I start next?

Boardwalk Empire, it just finished so you don't have to worry about catching up to live and having to wait for the next season. That's part of the reason I haven't started Game of Thrones, though that has caused me to get peppered with intermittent spoilers as I guess some people just assume EVERYONE has HBO and they can't wait to blab about what happened on last night's episode. I just have the last season to watch whenever they release it on disc so I can netflix it.

I know right? Thanks Vig.

 
I've only watched the first two seasons of Game of Thrones. I have the third, but haven't gotten around to it. It's a good show, but don't expect the greatest of all time like the internet would tell you.

All this time and it was Therm who was the Mormon. Talk about a fucking plot twist.

My dad's whole family is Mormon. They're all pretty hardcore about it. About half are really nice people. One of my mom's sisters is born-again Mormon, too (the rest of her family is all Catholic.) My mom's sister is just crazy; she got up after my grandfather (her father) died and lied at his Catholic church about how he'd been thinking about switching to Mormonism. That pissed everybody off. She always does stupid shit like that.

On my dad's side, two of his brothers are just douchebags. One is hardcore hateful Republican who is always talking shit about people taking government money but let his house get repossessed because he wanted to move after he took a ton of money in repeated home equity loans, and wanted his daughter (deaf) to apply for govt assistance for hearing aids. Stuff like that. To be fair I'm not sure if the other douchebag uncle goes to church. I doubt it, so I guess he doesn't really count for that.

I wasn't raised religious at all and am pretty happy about that. Religion is creepy.
