You're sitting on the couch, watching tv, and your life is passing you by. You keep procrastinating over and over. "Maybe I'll get Eastside Hockey Manager for $5 next sale" or wait for a bundle. No, do it right now. You can buy it after work, or you can buy it before work. Go visit Steam right now, they're out to help you.

You spend all the day on the computer anyhow. Why don't you make a purchase that's going to help you in your future? All you gotta do is visit Steam and buy the game.

Why are you making it complicated? It's easy.

Summer Games Done Quick 2018 is on. No EHM speedruns this year tho.

The lineup is not very good this summer. Only a handful of games that I’d consider must watch.

Yep happens to me too. Also I keep getting logged out wtf.

This can be fixed by using the new https site (change your bookmarks from http to https). Works for me.

Change my mind: Neil Turbin in his prime could out-scream Steven Tyler

Edit: sweet Jesus hearing Tyler do "Metal Thrashing Mad" would have been crazy

Back in 2014 I had a bet with my friend on who'd get all the achievements in Skyrim (+ DLCs) on Xbox 360. Now in 2018 I finally completed it on my PS4.

that's the sequel to Octodad right?

I think so. But they totally changed the gameplay and style.

Firefly is good, but ultimately overrated.

speaking of Uncharted and fan films though, the rumor is that Indiana Jones 5 is pushed back to July 2021 (which is official) but embattled Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy's last act before 'resigning' in September will be to announce...Alden Ehrenreich as young Indy.

Ford, who will somehow be nearly 79 when the movie comes out, will be in the plot's framing device.

I thought being Harrison Ford was going to be Anthony Ingruber's job? After Solo flopped, and Ehrenreich being part of the criticism, why go back to him? Why not split the casting anyway?

In my head canon, Fate of Atlantis is the real Indy 4, and the end of the series.

I was doing a bit of a software tuneup on my PC and found out that OpenOffice is basically a dead program. I had no idea, although I did notice that updates were becoming super rare. It's still up on ninite.com for whatever reasons.

LibreOffice it is. Runs faster, is updated more frequently, and is more secure.

Amazon Prime video added the 1967-68 classic 'The Prisoner'. I haven't watched it in like 10 years, but it's still a baller show, and outside of a few things you're inevitably going to get with a 50 year old show (it's in color), it holds up to my 2018 tastes. If you like Twin Peaks and/or Black Mirror, you may find something to like here.

A note about the show if you decide to watch. The order they have it on Amazon is the order the episodes aired. Because of production troubles at the time, they aired the episodes in a strange order, so there are continuity issues that detract from viewing them straight through. The order I'm re-watching it in is the 'Six of One' chronology.

Part of the fun I believe though is that the sequence of episodes itself is up for debate, which changes the subtext of parts of the show.
