- Oh f. Those are his two best. - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:39

        [deleted]
      - ouch. -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 09:35

  - Seattle and Arizona might break a hundred on them -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 09:46
  - Oh, man. They'd be last in offense *and* defense and people would keep making excuses for them. -- nm - spamlet Jan 4, 09:45
- Are we just ignoring the job he did with Philly? He took a team with a reasonable amount of talent and turned them by his own choice, a punchless mes - Will Hunting Jan 4, 09:26 2
  - I agree. - JaxSean Jan 4, 09:32
  - Over the other names i've heard...Shanahan, Holmgren...? I'm willing to give him a shot over a couple of fossils. -- nm - The Death Sceire Jan 4, 09:29

- Darth Sidious’s Gold Lightsaber -- nm - budice Jan 4, 09:14
- They're different colors? - nmbk - JaxSean Jan 4, 09:12 3
  - If you honestly do not remember the color of the first you saw (blue) and then later seeing Vader's red, I worry about you. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:15 2
    - Honestly, not really. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 4, 09:22 1
      - That amazes me. I am pretty sure that my life-long love of the colors black with red highlights came from Vader and the red lightsaber. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:42
- Count Dooku's was my favorite. Not sure of the utility of the curved handle but it looked bitchin'. - Mel Profit Jan 4, 09:11
- Darth Maul. If you counted Rebels the Inquisitors spinning ones are cool (and the fight styles against it are great) -- nm* - Beaker Jan 4, 09:11 1
  - This -- nm - amoxy Jan 4, 09:46
- Dooku, weirdly. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 4, 09:10

- And if it's not...? -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 09:08
Speaking of games, how can I tell who is an enemy and who is friendly in the map for online games in SW Battlefront? - spamlet Jan 4, 09:05 9
- They should. I thought enemies are red, and friendlies are blue. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 4, 09:09 8
  - I had blue and yellow but they were both friendly. - spamlet Jan 4, 09:19 7
    - When are you going to play again? My next two weeks are fairly uneventful, so I'll be on a few times. - JaxSean Jan 4, 09:27 4
      - I don't know. I typically play on weekends but can try to get on at night if I'm not too tired. When do you plan to play? - spamlet Jan 4, 09:30 2
        
        (I'll try to get on each night this week.) - JaxSean Jan 4, 09:41
        
        Oh, I do to. It's still fun to *pewpew* -- nm - JaxSean Jan 4, 09:41
      - maybe I will load mine up and give it a try if I know people are gonna be playing. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:28
    - I have not played it yet, but most multiplayer games seems to have a setting in there to be able to customize it. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:22 1
      - Oh, good point, thanks. - spamlet Jan 4, 09:26
I was annoyed at our first SW:TFA screening with the sound. I'll see it in Imax again, if I do, just for the sound. (Profit Family Spoilers) - Mel Profit Jan 4, 09:05 5
- Yeah, the IMAX sound was pretty awesome. (spoiler) - JaxSean Jan 4, 09:10 2
  - If I go again, I'm going to listen to that scene really carefully because I barely heard any of it - even in Imax. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 4, 09:16 1
    - Wow. Guess there is a lot of bad sound out there. Guess I got lucky. spoil - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:21
- spoil - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:07 1
  - agreed. I loved it. I mean it. (spoilers) - Mel Profit Jan 4, 09:15
2015 was a good year for spy action movies. I saw 4 and enjoyed all of them - Will Hunting Jan 4, 09:05 11
- You missed the best one: Bridge of Spies. -- nm - David Jan 4, 09:15 4
  - That one didn't sound like fun at all. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 09:18 2
    - It's stunningly brilliant. - David Jan 4, 09:22 1
      - Nah, I won't. It struck me more as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy which is still very possibly the closest movies have ever - Will Hunting Jan 4, 09:25
  - mmmm fridge of pies -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 09:16
- Spectre is easily the worst of those. -- nm - MDH Jan 4, 09:09
- Sadness. Kingsmen was all I saw. LYC: I deleted after watching and then found out Amy wanted to watch it. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:08 1
  - tell her to check her library. I got the blu-ray for it here at mine. Really enjoyed it -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 09:10
- Don't bother. It might be worse than QoS imo. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 09:07 2
  - The Opening Sequence is pretty good -- nm - amoxy Jan 4, 09:16 1
    - The opening sequence is one of the dumbest in the entire series! -- nm - Max Jan 4, 09:55
The first paid television spot from the Trump campaign is out -- (link) - Beaker Jan 4, 09:04 4
- That man can not become President. - Inigo Jan 4, 09:11 3
  - The insane part, is he isn't even the most unelectable of the GOP field. He's the #2. - MDH Jan 4, 09:13 2
    - Ben Carson gonna have to cut you for not putting him #1 -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 09:14 1
      - "Nah, I'll just say I did." -- nm - TWuG Jan 4, 09:19
max, we talked last night (taco night, yo) about the fact that smith's accent in concussion is just so bad that we can't get past it. - loaner machine mandy Jan 4, 09:01 1
- I love the line though trailer line spoils - Beaker Jan 4, 09:09
The Cliven Bundy lawsuit may be a hoax -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 09:00
The weatherman lied again - still no rain overnight. *Big* storm forecast for later :/ -- nm - Meg Jan 4, 09:00
Wait, the actress who played Ava Crowder is the daughter of who? - Inigo Jan 4, 08:56 2
- Heh. Not that one. -- nm* - Reagen Jan 4, 08:58 1
  - Hmm, google and IMDB fail. If you google her name, the more famous one is linked as her father. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 09:04
Amazon just suggested this torture instrument as a deal of the day -- (link) - ty97 Jan 4, 08:55 3
- Planks and crunches, yo! -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 09:17
- I got one of those at a yard sale once and on the very first rep thought I gave myself a hernia. To the closet with you! -- nm - emoticripple Jan 4, 09:11
- It looks like something a Game of Thrones character would wear on their head. -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 08:56
ty makes a good point. STL TSA opens at 5am, so even if you have a 6am flight there's no sense in getting there earlier. - spamlet Jan 4, 08:54 2
- O'hare Terminal 3 (AA) has checkpoints that open as early as 3:15am -- nm - oblique Jan 4, 08:57 1
  - Think of it this way: If the very first checkpoint opens at 3:15am, do you need to be there exactly at 3:15 to make the first flight? - ty97 Jan 4, 09:04
I don't think I could enjoy Jennifer Jason Leigh's performance that much because (spoilers for Hateful Eight)... - Inigo Jan 4, 08:53 2
- that was the best part of it... spoils..... - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 08:54 1
  - word. -- nm - budice Jan 4, 08:56
Campaign 2016: Slick Willy in New Hampshire for Big Hill this afternoon -- (link) - budice Jan 4, 08:53 1
- Photo from Nashua appearance -- (link) - budice Jan 4, 08:58
Including the playoffs, the Colts haven't had a 100yd rusher in 56 games. That can't be right, right? -- (link) - Will Hunting Jan 4, 08:50 4
- did you see Gore's comments after yesterday's game? - ML Jan 4, 08:56 1
  - Those are...interesting. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 09:01
- (Not in a row, total Pagano games). -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:52 1
  - Oh, okay. That's better. (slightly) -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 08:55
Speaking of Destiny: groniy, please tell the class what you got for running Nightfall. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:49 25
- I just posted to the Bungie forums about it complaining. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 08:52 24
  - That would actually be my preferred reward. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 4, 09:58
  - We need to run it the other two times tonight. I am curious how common it is. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:54 22
    - it was pretty simple, I am betting you can 2 man it -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 08:56 5
      - Yeah, lets do that tonight. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:02 4
        
        I will be on, but it will notbe a late night for me, I slept for shit last night. -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:07 3
        
        Same here. Empty house was unsettling. - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:10 2
        
        meh, Babadook is creepy, but not so much scary -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:11 1
        
        heh. On the season finale of Your The Worst there is an insane drunken rambling (on a microphone at a BBQ party) that finished with. spoil - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:14
    - Rank 5 IB for all 3 characters? -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 08:55 15
      - Yeah, as of Saturday morning. 316 gauntlets, 310 chest, and I can not remember the last one but probably 310 or slightly below. - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:01 14
        
        ToO is all about the bounties anyway. Just play long enough and you'll get them. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 09:04 13
        
        Well, yeah. That is what I do. I just wish it would go a little better. - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:05 12
        
        there are a few things about TofO that would need to improve - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:09 10
        
        I am working my way up that list (last to first). -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:11 9
        
        you also need to learn better when to push and when not to push. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:13 8
        
        As I said, I am learning. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:15 7
        
        we all are. Trials is a hard gametype, especially with all the try hards. -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:19 6
        
        I never thought I would be able to say I am good at crucible, but I think I can now. - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:25 5
        
        now it is more about being consistant for you. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:28 4
        
        That game had lag issues, as well though. I was shooting people and they were taking no damage. Hard to adjust to that. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:31 3
        
        they died fine for me. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:34 2
        
        Even during the game, you were complaining about some issues. That was why I was shocked when I saw your stats. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 09:38 1
        
        yeah, there was lag, but it was not as bad as in some of the games we have played. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 09:43
        
        It's a completely different game type, so the end results are going to be drastically different. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 09:06
