PSNOT 3.0 - Let's Talk About University of Kentucky, Baby!

I'd be testing out remote play with the DS4 I brought in with me, but god dammit if there isn't a guy here this afternoon doing a system refresh. Can't I get some privacy???

 
Finished up 11.22.63 on Hulu. I liked it. Thoughts:

Overall I thought it was pretty good. I definitely thought it got going way too quickly then ended up lagging in the middle, I wish they could have spent more of that time setting things up instead.

There's more character development than I thought, but I guess it makes sense. A clever premise can carry a 2 hour movie usually, but an 8+ hour miniseries is going to need more than just an interesting idea. I thought most the acting was really good, I especially liked the Lee Harvey Oswald actor.

There's a couple stretches in logic that you'll have to look past. The biggest one for me was why didn't Chris Cooper's character just kill Oswald when he had the chance? Just do that, go back to the present and see if it fixed things and saved JFK. If it didn't you can go back in time and it resets everything anyway. No need to spend a year stalking and researching Oswald. Also was completely confounded by why Jake went to rescue Sadie when she was being held captive by her husband without bringing a weapon or any sort of plan. He basically just walks in and gets taken captive as well.

I really enjoyed the ending. It was what I was expecting,  but also exactly the way I was hoping it would end so I was really happy with it. Made the 8 hour investment worth it.

 
When Johnny was coaching with the Hornets in 1995 they had a good team. Glen Rice, Mourning, Johnson. Series was tied at 2 and Hornets had a chance to win game 5 in Chicago. On the biggest possession of the game, Mugsy had the ball with the Hornets down 1. Jordan backed off of him and told him: “shoot it you fucking midget.” Mugsy shot it, didn’t come close. A year later Mugsy actually told Johnny Bach that he believes that single play ruined his career. His shot never recovered.
I should point out that this story is a little off since it says they had Mourning and Rice, which isn't true because Mourning was traded for Rice. The rest of it is hilarious, though.

 
People were saying stuff like this in the obscure PS4 retail game thread. I don't get it, because there's nothing different between this and Limited Run, except these guys aren't saying its "limited" and printing the numbers on the back of the box. It's weird to me that Limited Run is so popular, seems like everyone is more fascinated by its "limited" status than actually wanting a retail version of the games they make.
I don't care at all about physical copies most of the time-- only buying physical stuff because of the 20% discount promos now. If these guys are still doing smaller print runs, then that's great. The tweets looked like it was a larger retail run going out to physical stores. I can't imagine that the demand for this would be large enough to warrant that kind of cost.

 
That beer list could be a lot better, but I have seen a lot worse.
I wasnt too concerned about the beers just trying to find something new. Then found out they let people smoke inside. fuck that.

We went to the Brandon Ale House instead. No "good" beers there either, but Blue Moon and lots of TVs to watch Masters highlights.

 
Later Cartwheel.  Thanks for letting me hang out in the PSNOT and post my bullshit all day.  I'm out!

Apparently some golfer did this yesterday in the Masters (pardon the tie-in with a mobile game - that's where I saw the video - saving grace is that as far as mobile games go, this is definitely one of the better ones):

I'm trying to get this guy to give up on the PC migration that's taking forever for today and just come back Monday morning, but he keeps coming up with options. Now he's going to get a colleague who might know how to speed it up. fuck.

Classic do gooder. Why dont you just tell him "I WANT TO GO HOME!! (fucker!)"

 
Success! And now I"m remote playing Enter the Gungeon! Works pretty well but I'm doing awful. There is a little lag probably, but it's not bad. Unfortunately I can't stream while remote playing. I tried.

 
Are you on delay? He's only 2 shots ahead.

Phil nearly pulled an Els just now.
He was up 5 when I posted that. The Masters can change in minutes! SO EXCITE!

And on the leader board at the time he was the only one in red numbers for today's round.

Yeah, I've tried to explain to my nephew that Phil Mickelson was amazing in college and a pretty great golfer at one time, but he only knows him as a guy that chokes and can't make a 4 foot putt. All he knows is Tiger Tiger Woods Y'all!

tons of fun last night in dead star. we broke the matchmaking cuz it couldn't find anyone to balance out our high levels. We were always being teamed up with level 1s, but when we had a full party it was taking 30 min just to get in a match, eventually we had to split up to play. Hopefully the maintenance fixed that this morning.

some fun pix. Winning a round with us only killing 1 enemy, us destroying an enemy team 148/21 kills, and our fastest record of winning in 3:05 with them having a score of only 36 :)

 Zerg Rush!

Feels like Phil was more known for chocking early in his career. I mean, he hasn't been great lately. But he's had enough success that losing a few isn't that big of a deal.

Man Phil winning his first Masters was awesome.

 
I think I jinxed Spieth.  Ever since I mentioned he was killing it he has been mis hitting everything and collected a few bogeys.

Tyler, what do you think of this amatuer guy with the "true" one plane swing?  Dechambeu I think is his name?  He is pretty damn good.  First Masters and he is -2 I think.  might be -3 soon.

Jinx. 

EDIT:  No Jinx yet, he made a birdie and is now -3!

You do have wifi do you not? They have a live stream from the Masters web site and its really good. Im watching it on my phone here at work. At home yesterday I cast it to my TV too.

No login requirement or anything either.

Oh cool I didn't know they streamed it for free.
Me neither until yesterday when I realized I dont have Golf Channel anymore and couldnt watch the early part of yesterday. So I just googled The Masters and went to their site. I just assume every major tournament of any sport is live streamed now.

I don't mind getting the crap kicked out of me a few times and trying to see if I can turn it around, but when you're dealing with a team of 10 randoms the odds of getting everyone together with a coherent team strategy is about nil.

 
Star Wars Battlefront double credits all weekend in case anyone still plays.

I did not know you were into golf. I will include you from now on sour puss!
I've hit a few golf balls into the clowns mouth in my day.

I was serious about golf for about a 5 year period of my life, but I wasn't what anyone would call good and I never joined a league. I shot 41 once playing behind the league golfers trying to beat sundown. I was probably a 20 handicap.

No one is good and you dont have to be good to be into it and play. I assume your 41 was on 9 holes. I dont know my handicap but im probably about a 20 as well.
