- Blocked at work. :( -- nm - sycor May 8, 11:06 2
  - Your mind will be... blown. -- nm - Spawn May 8, 11:06 1
    - Probably. I'll forget by the time I get home so I'll be surprised when I see it. -- nm - sycor May 8, 11:09
- Yeah, that's good casting, if true. -- nm - TWuG May 8, 11:03

    - A lot of them have had mommy and daddy tell them they can do no wrong for so long and a lot of parents don't teach their kids about money. My ex had - sycor May 8, 10:46 3
      - Nobody taught me shit about money. It's adding and subtracting. - Shaun May 8, 10:47 2
        
        sure, but you have commercials every commercial break about credit cards, and points, and perks.... - groiny May 8, 10:50
        
        I would say personal finance is a bit more than adding and subtracting. But yeah, a lot of people are $ dumb. -- nm - sycor May 8, 10:49
    - there is some validity to that. I had no idea at 22 how much credit cards can hamper you. - groiny May 8, 10:43 2
      - Right, but after it happens at least once, I'd say you've figured it out -- nm - professor smartbrain May 8, 10:46 1

        Twilight Gap is horrible. I do not like that map at all. -- nm - Shaun May 8, 10:29 5
        
        I don't think I actively hate any of the maps. It took a while to learn how to play a few of them. - groiny May 8, 10:31 3
        
        Anomaly can seem really awful if you are getting slaughtered. -- nm - Shaun May 8, 10:32 2
        
        there are a handful of maps that I have only played a couple times. - groiny May 8, 10:35 1
        
        I was also not a fan of that one. Bastion iirc. There's a huge Earth map that I played a few times and it was ok. Lots of sniping. -- nm - Shaun May 8, 10:38
        
        least favorite map hands down. -- nm - Jovian May 8, 10:30
And, for a show with subpar ratings, there are quite a lot of people pissed off about Forever being cancelled. -- nm - Jovian May 8, 10:09 1

This is probably the shittiest crop of new Fall shows I've ever seen (link) - Jovian May 8, 10:01 3
- Part of that might be the way those one-liners are written. -- nm - Beryllium May 8, 10:04 2
  - nah. I read up on most of them. the majority sound generic and unoriginal. - Jovian May 8, 10:08 1
    - It's a new show but I'm fairly crushed that the Becki Newton vehicle is so generic. - Mel Profit May 8, 10:19

i suddenly have an urge to binge watch all of the Mad Max movies -- nm - call me Ishmael May 8, 09:37 14
- There was more than one? - Krusty May 8, 09:38 13
  - It took me a while to realize this. I was so confused when I was younger going from Mad Max to Thunderdome. - sycor May 8, 10:44
  - The Road Warrior was the best of the lot of them. - groiny May 8, 09:48 5
    - Mad Max was an Austrialian film. The Road Warrior was a Hollywood film staring Austrialians - decline May 8, 10:30 1
      - I found Mad Max mostly boring. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 10:32
    - yes but Mad Max was the necessary set up -- nm - call me Ishmael May 8, 09:59 2
      - it really wasn't though. When I saw and loved the Road Warrior, I had not seen Mad Max. nm -- nm - groiny May 8, 10:01 1
        
        well, Road Warrior might be able to stand on its own, but in my opinion, Mad Max gives the important backstory to more deeply understand Max's . . . - call me Ishmael May 8, 10:24

    - Sorry. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 8, 09:47

    - well, excuse me ... minor correction ... 2nd movie was aka The Road Warrior ... 1st movie was Mad Max, I do believe -- nm - call me Ishmael May 8, 09:44 2
      - I do remember Beyond Thunderdome, didn't see it though. So, three flicks until now. - Krusty May 8, 09:47 1
        
        they are a fun ride (no pun intended) . . . ending of 1st movie is a little sadistic in a cool way . . . -- nm - call me Ishmael May 8, 09:48

I be interested to see if Simmons joins up with another big company or uses his cred to start his own grantland-like situation. - volnelk May 8, 08:16 5
