- Ha! "What Does Joffrey name his new sword? Option A, The Compensator..." -- nm - Roger More Sep 1, 11:19
I just booked error fare tickets to Paris in November for $193 return. No way the airline honours that. -- nm - Andie Sep 1, 11:08 1
- See, these are error fare, not air fare. -- nm - Airline Sep 1, 11:09
Mass Effect Andromeda is a much better game if you read the subtitles instead of looking at the characters' faces. -- nm - Ender Sep 1, 11:03 11
- I suspect this is why I like it. I rarely look at the faces of characters. -- nm - David Sep 1, 11:24 5
  - Face blindness as well as color? -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 11:26 4
    - Like penises, I can see them. I just don't look. -- nm - David Sep 1, 11:27 3
      - you don't look at your penis ? -- nm - decline Sep 1, 11:31 1
        
        Not if I can help it. -- nm - David Sep 1, 11:44
      - X-ray vision? -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 11:31
- I never finished it and I think they probably lost me for any future iterations of the series. -- nm - decline Sep 1, 11:04 4
  - I'd be surprised if there are any future iterations of the series - Strongbad Sep 1, 11:10 3
    - It's already been $20 multiple times and it's a hard pass for me. What a disaster. -- nm - Shaun Sep 1, 11:26 2
      - 1 and 2 were amazing. 3 started the downward cycle and 4 killed it. - Strongbad Sep 1, 11:37 1
        
        I rather liked 3. The ending was overhyped and I think that's what hurt that game -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 11:42
The gator reports have started in Houston -- (link) - decline Sep 1, 10:50 2
- "5th Street is a no-go zone. The gators own it now." -- nm - Max Sep 1, 10:51 1
  - It's going to be street-to-street fighting. Generals say that Houston will be secured by November, but at what cost? -- nm - Mop Sep 1, 10:56
The Joker Movie: Warner Bros. Wants Class, Cachet and Maybe Leonardo DiCaprio - crash davis Sep 1, 10:47 11
- The expectations for this movie are being built up beyond all reason -- nm - con_carne Sep 1, 11:03 2
  - eh it's early days yet on this project so we'll see -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 11:12
  - But see, Wonder Woman was a success, so how can WB go wrong? -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 11:07
- I like Leonardo Dicaprio. A lot. But as The Joker? Especially in an origin story? I'd much rather have Jared Leto. Or what's-his-name, the ... - ReluctantCynic Sep 1, 10:51 6
  - Jared Leto in a standalone movie is the quickest way to throw about $250 million. -- nm - David Sep 1, 11:25
  - Ben Foster would be a different style, but he's got the crazy to go with the character. -- nm - Max Sep 1, 10:59 1
    - Could totally see Ben Foster in the role. And the actor from Detroit I was thinking of is Will Poulter. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 1, 11:22
  - No way he takes the role IMO. -- nm - Roger More Sep 1, 10:57
  - I did not like Leto's take in Suicide Squad. I like Leo a lot. But a 42 year old in an origin story? So he is fighting Batman in his 50s/60s? -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 10:54
  - I doubt he'd actually appear as the Joker until the last scene, if at all. -- nm - Mop Sep 1, 10:53
- they better have the squirty flower -- nm - decline Sep 1, 10:48
True Detective season 3 greenlit; details revealed - crash davis Sep 1, 10:45
Inigo, the Groin, Nude and it's a wrap for Cavemen -- nm - volnelk Sep 1, 10:38
....... wtf? -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 1, 10:29 16
- a follow-up with slightly more detail (apparently it wasn't a true hiring situation, so that's somewhat of a relief) -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 1, 10:50 5
  - I blame it all on the dude's hat. -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 11:17
  - Still, that's not a thing that should even be created, let alone sent out. -- nm - Reagen Sep 1, 11:02 3
    - agreed, and wtf is a hype squad? -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 11:04 2
      - "marketing team". Clearly one that has lost the plot. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 1, 11:13 1
        
        it sounds like unpaid marketing team -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 11:29
- I don't even understand what they were applying for. -- nm - David Sep 1, 10:43 5
  - a partner -- nm - decline Sep 1, 10:49 4
    - Discord has partners? How does that work? -- nm - David Sep 1, 10:50 2
      - You hype them and get personalized server. -- (link*) - mara Sep 1, 11:22
      - i dunno - I didn't even know what Discord was (it said partner in that letter) -- nm - decline Sep 1, 10:53
    - He chose the wrong app, that's Tinder. -- nm* - Krusty Sep 1, 10:49
- what is Discord? -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 10:32 1
  - Apparently it's some sort of chat app for gaming? I dunno. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 1, 10:33
- Well, that will cut down on the number of people who want to work there. -- nm - Andie Sep 1, 10:32
- Makes me glad my profession is full of boring engineers. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 1, 10:30
Incredible before and after pictures of areas around Houston -- (link) - decline Sep 1, 10:26 2
- Jeebus -- nm - Spawndroid Sep 1, 10:33

The Layover is on Amazon Video now. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 1, 10:24 3
- Excellent. It's better suited to home viewing. -- nm - Mop Sep 1, 10:33 2
  - easier to be pantsless, right ? -- nm - decline Sep 1, 10:35 1
    - I thought this was implied. -- nm - Mop Sep 1, 10:55
Braves player finds out he's been DFA'd via Twitter. -- (link) - Tim Sep 1, 10:19 1
- While hilarious, it's not true. He wasn't actually designated for assignment. -- nm - David Sep 1, 10:28
No raid tease. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 1, 10:18
Bots flood government agency seeking comment on net neutrality -- (link) - Strongbad Sep 1, 09:58 2
- Arstechnica has such a better article on this. including why the review by AT&T is probably biased (shocked). -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 1, 10:44
- LOL - while I don't doubt that there were plenty of bots and fake commenters, it's still "AT&T executive says comments support AT&T's position" -- nm - Roger More Sep 1, 10:41
Destiny 2 people: What class will you be starting with? Was it also your Destiny 1 starting class? - Shaun Sep 1, 09:54 39
- Warlock -- nm - JaxSean Sep 1, 14:16
- Warlock. Yes. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 1, 11:15
- The only class that matters. Titan -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 11:04 1
  - Which do I want to do first? Magik it, or Captain America it? -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 11:29
- I only played as a Warlock so I might try a different class at the start. -- nm - Krusty Sep 1, 10:51
- I started with a Hunter, doubt I will even have one now. -- nm - Spawndroid Sep 1, 10:27 1
  - You'll need to delete your hunter to avoid having one. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 1, 11:15
- first class was warlock, because self rez. but after the second expansion I ended up playing Titan the most. - tRuMaN Sep 1, 10:21
- Is it worth jumping into Destiny 2 if I haven't played Destiny before? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 1, 10:11 10
  - yes -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 1, 10:32
  - Well let's start with the basics. Do you like and enjoy FPS games? -- nm - Shaun Sep 1, 10:16 3
    - Yep! Overwatch got me back into FPSs, and I've been looking for a game I can be a little more social on. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 1, 10:25 2
      - Oh, *hell* yeah. -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 11:31
      - You should get it then. -- nm - Shaun Sep 1, 10:43
  - yes, there are a lot of changes so the learning curve is not so steep -- nm - groiny Sep 1, 10:13 4
    - And overall I'd say that the D1 story is likely irrelevant to understanding anything. - Shaun Sep 1, 10:16 3
      - D1 had a story? - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 1, 11:17 2
        
        There was quite a set-up, yes. - Spawn Sep 1, 11:42
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Shaun Sep 1, 11:22
- Warlocks are Destiny's only true class. -- nm - David Sep 1, 09:56
- I didn't play Destiny 1 so I am open to suggestions. -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 09:56 18
  - Still applies. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 1, 09:58 [Backboard] 17
    - so you don't think there is any advantage to one over the other? -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 09:59 16
      - Do you want to run around with a shield like a pale imitation of Captain America? - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 1, 11:22
      - It's little things. Hunters are frail, but they're also small so they take less damage. Titans are tanks, but they also are easier to shoot. - David Sep 1, 10:04
      - not really, it all depends on your playstyle -- nm - groiny Sep 1, 10:00 13
        
        so what is your class and how does it fit your playstyle? -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 10:03 12
        
        when we get into certain missions, you want a mix of characters and abilities - groiny Sep 1, 10:13 6
        
        but which class is best for staying close to Spawn so I can blame him if things go wrong? -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 10:17 5
        
        umm, so you want to hide in corners like spawn? real men dont play like that crash. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 1, 10:33 3
        
        I was thinking just for starters -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 10:37 2
        
        real men learn from trying, not hiding crash. dont be spawn. - tRuMaN Sep 1, 10:45 1
        
        My favorite part of this meme is remembering you scolding me for always charging in. -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 11:08
        
        Yes. -- nm - Shaun Sep 1, 10:18
        
        I think the main reason I roll Hunter is how they jump compared to Warlocks and Titans. Quick and precise over glidey (if that's a word) and gradual. -- nm - Shaun Sep 1, 10:09
        
        each class has 3 subclasses, one is usually a defensive one. - groiny Sep 1, 10:05 3
        
        groiny's last point is the one that holds the most water. It's the best way to get the full experience. - Shaun Sep 1, 10:07 2
        
        Right. Crash, you'll probably run all three classes, and so you'll repeat the early missions with each one. - David Sep 1, 10:10 1
        
        okey, thanks everybody -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 10:16
I have 3 iPads so my iCloud storage is filled with backups. That seems poor design on Apple's part. - Mop Sep 1, 09:49 2
- What do you keep on your iPads that is taking up that much space? But, yet quite genius of them. -- nm* - Matrix_Mafia Sep 1, 11:23 1
  - It's all apps. There's no data stored on them (no documents, pictures, etc.) - Mop Sep 1, 11:26
Cavemen gettin lazy in picking up their players on Yahoo. - groiny Sep 1, 09:45
Cop drags screaming Utah nurse from hospital after she refuses to give them patient's blood -- (link) - Remlik Sep 1, 09:35 7
- That's...alarming. -- nm - IrishStephen Sep 1, 10:30
- Police state. Do what the cops tell you, or get carted off. Unless you're black, of course. -- nm - Mop Sep 1, 09:43 4
  - Speaking of, local story here -- (link) - Strongbad Sep 1, 09:47 3
    - press: "Can you explain yourself?" cop: "It was just gallows humor." mayor: *facepalm* -- nm - Max Sep 1, 09:54
    - I take it he was trying to be sarcastic, but wouldn't that mean...he might shoot her? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 1, 09:52 1
      - In today's climate, it just blows my mind that somebody would be that dumb to say that. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 1, 09:56
- that photo -- nm - Max Sep 1, 09:43
I'm sure those children who saw someone pull a gun in the school supply aisle weren't traumatized at all. -- nm - Mop Sep 1, 09:34 2
- At Walmart? They probably shrugged it off. -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 09:36 1
  - "Mom has GTA released the Walmart expansion yet?" -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 09:37
Caveman Home Stretch: Volnelk, groiny, Truman,Inigo, groiny, Nuditarian -- nm - decline Sep 1, 09:34 7

  - TRU -- nm - groiny Sep 1, 09:44 2
    - k, back from lunch, gimmie a sec -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 1, 10:20 1
      - picked. someone else is up now -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 1, 10:32
- I give you guys a lot of crap, but seriously, I'm impressed you aren't dragging this into the weekend. Well done! -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 09:36 2
  - shut up crash. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 1, 09:40
  - Wait for it... -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 09:39
~September morn, We danced until the night became a brand new day~ -- nm - decline Sep 1, 09:33

  - other favorites: PIT over CLE, NE over KC, BUF over NYJ, CAR over SF -- nm - Strongbad Sep 1, 09:39 2
    - And whoever over Indy. -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 09:39 1
      - currently off the board, but yes I would expect LAR at home over IND -- nm - Strongbad Sep 1, 09:41
- no we need both that and a pick'em on Yahoo -- nm - crash davis Sep 1, 09:32 2
  - That is weird. Yahoo did not send the pick'em renewal. I will look into that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 09:35 1
    - Invites sent. For newbs, ST Pick'em Group ID# 32086 - Spawn Sep 1, 09:38
