Travelers

Just a quick drive by here.

Mostly unknown actors with good chemistry and screen presence.
Series is three seasons with a solid premise.
Hundreds of years from now, society is doomed. Historians link present day to be the most destructive to the future, so in order to save mankind, an AI "director" sends travelers back in time.
Instead of the Terminator route, jumping in to bodies, killing the person, travelers consciousness dives in to a host at the precise moment that person would have died, thereby, not killing anyone. the new consciousness then lives out the life of that host, hopefully with noone being wise.
At the same time, the team that jumped continues to complete missions in order to preserve the human race.
Each team has a doctor, a historian, a team leader, a tactician and I forget what else
Despite some filler dialogue typical episodic editing and directing, the story arc is well thought out, profound and meaningful.
This series has elements of a procedural but I would hesitate to identify it as such.
Its worth an investment at just three seasons long


This a Netflix show? That's a real interesting premise.

We just started For All Mankind on Apple TV+, but literally only one episode in so not much I can say about it now. The alternate history of Russia landing an astronaut on the moon before us in that pilot episode was a heck of a starting gimmick though, curious to see where the rest of the show goes (admittedly, months ago, I had the second season ending spoiled for me, but that's what got me wanting to watch because it sounds intense).

My parents were never anti-maskers, no, it's just since they've been vaccinated themselves I guess they decided they were fine now. Which, I mean, I get it, you're in your late 60s and all and it sucks breathing with the mask on and you did what you're supposed to do, get the vaccine, but with this delta variant out there, and the fact that you could, especially in a place like SC where people DON'T get vaccinated, spread it to others and the immunocompromised, I'm not thrilled with their post-vax stance.

As far as being vegetarian, never, EVER would have considered it. But, my fiancee, before she moved to SC and we met, was vegetarian (well, pescatarian, she did and we do eat fish). Anyways, she gave it up in Myrtle because Myrtle's grocery stores and restaurants weren't too accommodating to that crowd. But, when we moved to Washington she wanted to get back to it, and I was iffy, but when I got my job at Comcast out here, one of my coworkers was vegan, and yes, he was the type to talk about it and push it on everyone, BUT I actually learned a LOT from him even though I didn't go full vegan.

And especially with the latest stuff like the entire Morningstar Farms selection, Beyond, Impossible, it was actually an easy transition for me to make. My fiancee always said she'd still eat meat on special occasions, like on a vacation or whatever. I actually went two years with no meat, and finally broke that this past January when we took a brief trip to the mountains in Wenatchee for our anniversary and did outdoor dining at a real nice Italian place. Got me some chicken parm that was fantastic.

EDIT: I'll also note here, I HAVE felt genuinely better since giving up meat. Less lethargic, just overall better physical feel. What's great is this past year, during the pandemic, I didn't exercise one bit because I suck, and yet, I gained 0 pounds. Not snacking had a lot to do with this, I was very good about avoiding temptation at the grocery store and if I don't get something then, I won't like, go out at 9 PM when the craving hits me. I'm lazy, I need the snacks to already be in the house, so yeah, I think the combination of very minimal snacking and removing meat from my diet over the past year helped me maintain a healthy weight. And you know, they always say removing red meat's better for your blood pressure or cholesterol or whatever, and that red meat leads to cancer, so hopefully I'm setting myself up for success in those areas too.

Oddly, going back "home" to Myrtle, I did hit up a few places. My old chinese restaurant, got my chicken and broccoli, the chicken felt yuck to me now, but I will say the brown sauce they used was still FANTASTIC coated on top of the white rice, which I guess was always the real appeal.

Even more odd to me, given the previous chicken parm anecdote, I went to my favorite Italian place and got some chicken parm this past week too, but was unsatisfied. The cheese and sauce were good, but the chicken was kinda dry and not crispy at all.

Then lastly, I hadn't eaten beef in nearly 3 years, but I went to my favorite sub place (I hadn't planned on it, but my son actually wanted to eat there) and I got a meatball sub, partly out of science, and partly out of nostalgia. Unlike the other two it actually still tasted great, but it left me feeling bloated and disgusting, and a lot of abdominal cramps which I don't really get with the chicken, so I think that's officially the last of beef for me, which is fine. I've got greater burger substitutes, and somewhat strangely, I don't really miss steak at all.

The crazy thing about sushi is my ex-wife was always trying to get me to eat it. We'd go to the hibachi steakhouse and she'd get simple tuna rolls and I'd always be like "WHY IS THE RICE COLD, THIS IS DISGUSTING."

Fast forward a few years to back when I was in the Navy and we ported in Hong Kong back in 2011, I went with one of my buddies willingly to a sushi place and just....ate it like a normal human being. Still a tuna roll! Same thing! Just had to be in that mindset I guess. Haven't stopped since.

Got to spend the 19th-26th in Myrtle Beach. City itself is still garbage, with even more garbage apartment complexes going up on every corner, so many trees gone. Suppose that's the story everywhere.

BUT! Fortunately I had a very good time and a very good trip. Got to see my son for the first time in over a year and spent the whole week with him which was great. We stayed at my parent's place as did my brother and his two nieces, so had everyone together. Brother grilled out two of the nights, steaks, burgers (which I didn't eat the beef burgers, but he got some Beyond for me), shrimp, tuna steak (those two I ate with no hesitation).

Spent some time at the pool, got to catch up with some old friends for sushi, and even hit the theater with kiddo to see Fast 9, even though he's never seen any of them and I've only seen, oddly, 1 and 5. We enjoyed it for the "switch your brain off" entertainment that it was, haha.

The one crazy thing to me was the day before I flew out, I had to make a quick run to a grocery store up here. WA had only recently lifted its mask mandate, and a few employees had no masks, and a few customers, but majority were masked.

Fly to South Carolina the next day, go to a grocery store, there are like, 1% of people masked. Not only that, my own parents shamed me for trying to wear one in the store. "We've all been vaccinated, you don't need it!" No shit, I wasn't looking out for myself. Bizarre times.

But yeah, all-in-all just a relaxing, fun trip. Was nice to see the family and especially kiddo. Figured out he'll be getting my 2012 Cruze in October as his first car. I'm sad, there goes my stick shift (especially since we're both working from home, fiancee and I figure we'll just share her automatic. Very saddening). Also, kiddo just got his permit, and despite me living all the way out in WA, somehow I was the first person to take him out driving (for only ten minutes, but still, gotta break that ice initially). So I got to have a big dad moment too.

The only Win PC I have at the moment is my work laptop, so I feel more comfortable sitting this one out this time. Doesn't look like the game's available on Mac.

This is a good start but I'm hoping for more. Granted, I'll likely buy it anyway because my brother and our buddy we do a co-op franchise with likely will (whereas my brother and I both skipped 21 this year).

I like the staff additions with coordinators and team executives, the practice initiatives and the home field stuff (the note about things playing different on All-Pro is also encouraging), but still looking to see RFAs (2K had it), looking for more flexibility in contracts (2K had the ability to front load or back load), and I want to see the game engine itself.

In the trailer, people on the reddit are already pointing out stuff like the ball floating through the QBs hands. This isn't the end of the world, but if it's the same janky gameplay with a glossy sheen, I'll be disappointed.

Although, like I said above, probably getting this regardless of reviews based on external pressure, haha. Now I just need to find a PS5 for my brother.

That sounds like an awesome time Crewe! If I ever make my way to Colorado I'll have to copycat some of this, not so much the roller coasters as I am a certified scaredy cat when it comes to those, but the gold mine and Breckenridge sound incredible.

Like you, I want to make my way to CO eventually and go to the Rockies stadium. My brother went here a few years ago and said the stadium is amazing, one of his favorites.

Seems sort of appropriate this is the next reply in succession:

Bo Burnham's Inside (on Netflix)


Watched this a few days ago and it's stuck with me ever since.

The quick background is, Bo left standup comedy about 5 years ago due to onstage panic attacks. He was planning a comeback, which is when the pandemic hit, and over the past year he recorded this special in his home (I'm pretty sure he has a "studio" in his backyard, based solely on the ending shot of his previous Netflix special, "Make Happy"). The special bounces around so many subjects, some all at the same time, but basically deals with the initial "oh man, there's a pandemic" into "everything has gone wrong and I have 0 idea how to cope."

It's a brilliant look at the past year in total, but also the line between performance and authenticity, as well as our genuine selves and our online selves. Particularly for someone like Burnham, who rose to fame from the early days of Youtube, and seeing him tackle the ill effects the internet has had, especially during the past year, with his own success derived from it is pretty gripping (although he seems to fall firmly on the "this was a mistake" side, if you take the special at face value).

One of the reasons Burnham is so beloved is he's not a typical stand-up comedian, he's a performer, and his live shows are full of parody songs and big showy effects, ending typically with a showstopper number. In Inside, his creativity is put to the test and I was genuinely fascinated by the different setups he constructed (I can only imagine the amount of hours spent downloading and installing software, waiting for equipment/props/clothing to arrive, programming the various lights and such, editing in post, etc that this all took). My favorite is easily during the song "I'm Turning 30," where 3 lights (one off-screen) and an iPhone screen combine for a pretty great 80s throwback and visual homage.

Burnham's never held back on mental health commentary in his shows, and Inside is no different, although it's much more intense. I imagine it's somewhat hard to be sad when you're in front of a crowd of 1000s (anxious, sure, but sad, maybe not?), but here we see Burnham at what he calls his all-time low. At one point he's surrounded by various clutter while laying on the floor, head on a pillow with a microphone resting next to it, covered by a blanket. It's unclear at times whether these cutaways (which there are multiple; some of Burnham setting things up, some of him talking to the camera seemingly candidly) are authentic or performative, and the truth likely lies somewhere in between.

Much like my favorite show, Bojack Horseman, Bo's great at both comedy and existential dread, and the special isn't without that. If your serotonin is particularly low, you may want to stop at the Intermission and come back another time. As the year goes on, it keeps looking like this pandemic will only get worse, as well as the world outside of it, Burnham starts to lose himself more and more. While he may have warmed up to the idea of staying inside forever, he realizes that won't keep him safe, as politics, global warming, and various other calamities seem to threaten our existence every moment of the day lately. We see him face this calmly during "That Funny Feeling," an incredible modern, camp-side take on "We Didn't Start the Fire." Lines like "The world at your fingertips, an ocean at your door" and "That unapparent summer air in early fall" accentuating the true enemy of us all waiting to pounce once this pandemic is over and the world "returns to normal."

Burnham covers personal subjects as well, such as the panic attacks he began experiencing on stage, as well as things like performing with no audience throughout he show (in previous specials, Bo's always had a rough time with his audience, one of his shows he states "if you can live without an audience, you should do it." Here, we see him clamoring to create to distract himself from reality (at one point, speaking to the camera, he acknowledges this, stating if he finishes the special, he has to go back to living life, so he'll just never finish the special so he can forever remain distracted from reality), and throughout the performance he uses audience noise at various points, culminating in an incredibly personal performance in "All Eyes on Me," at one point grabbing a camera he's using and swinging it around the room with him to simulate the audience's view.

All of this is to say, absolutely watch this. At 90 minutes, it's fantastic, and I've barely scratched the surface here (I have trouble determining if my favorite song is That Funny Feeling, All Eyes on Me, or one I haven't even mentioned here, "Welcome to the Internet" which is FANTASTIC).

No sir, no apple tv for me. Maybe when their lineup gets a bit more


Yeah, Ted Lasso and MQ are really good, but we don't use it for anything else, and had we not gotten the first year free I wouldn't have signed up. Still though, if anyone in the family gets a Macbook for like, college or something, just make sure they give you the sign-in info because there's still some gems.

A game that took 7+ years to make and doesn't really resemble the original concept could never live up to the hype. See: Duke Nukem Forever, Final Fantasy XV

The greatest value that CP2077 has provided to the world is the memes it generated. It doesn't help that woke politics went so heavily into the game that they added in a genital slider, adding in features to appeal to a part of the audience that doesn't even exist. Nobody asked for or needed that.

I dont disagree with you, it didnt live up to the hype. it feels like if fallout and GTA had a baby, you have cyberpunk. Nothing great, nothing bad, just a decent game.


Did you get it on PC or on console Tider? Been debating picking it up on PS5 if I see it go on sale someday down the road, especially if it's playing smoother after all the patches.


EDIT: Hahahahahahahaha. Maybe this being in the "PC Gaming" forum should've been a hint.....

When my fiancee got her new Macbook around Xmas, it came with a year free of Apple TV+, but we didn't actually activate it until recently. Turns out, there's some decent shows on there! At least two! Dickinson was weird though, we stopped watching.


Anyways.

Ted Lasso

Absolutely fantastic. Jason Sudeikis is just incredible, and the whole cast is really great.

The show is about a football team...well, a soccer team, in England, whose ownership goes through a divorce, and the wife is left with the team. To spite her husband, she fires their head coach, and hires a little known coach from a Division III NCAA football team from America. Hijinx ensue

It's the kind of show that delivers hilarious gags, while also promoting a wholesome message and dipping into SLIGHT Bojack territory dealing with issues of depression, insecurity and the like. Deserved all those Emmys it won, can't wait for the new season.



Mythic Quest

I was wary of this one, shows about videogames can either be really good (.....I've got no examples. Reboot, maybe?) or really bad and dip into negative stereotypes and stupid reference humor. Mythic Quest isn't that.

Sort of "The Office, but at a game company" and sort of "Always Sunny, but everyone's not the worst type of human being ever" (obviously the fact that it stars Rob McElheny, from Sunny, and Charlie Day is one of the main writers is unsurprising).

But what a cast! We've got Abed from Community, McElheny, Leslie from the show Good Girls and effin' F. Murray Abraham. The main female lead, the character of Poppi, I'm not as familiar with but she's been able to match McElheny's energy and charisma each episode for an all around great ensemble.

We just finished the first season, and I've heard some things about the second season, mainly that while the first season found more gags in the gaming industry itself (some of the gags regarding game bugs and loot boxes are pretty fantastic), the second season supposedly gets more into the characters and a Parks and Rec/Office style of comedy, so we'll see how that goes. That being said, I went in expecting to hate this, and both me and the fiancee ended up really loving it.







Dickinson

It's just weird, man.

Not that I've got an eye on a PS5 anytime soon, but since we're at the tail end of the PS4 era...

Top Five PS4 Games I've Played

1. Spider-Man - the amount of care and devotion that Insomniac put into this game and this story was just incredible. It really did feel like an MCU movie to me, and it was really hard for me to put down. NYC looked absolutely stunning and felt like big city life. The characters were well done too. Photo mode was fun to mess around with. I couldn't put this one down.

2. Red Dead Redemption 2 - 2018 gave us some incredible games, and this one...wow. Loved playing as Arthur Morgan, and the world that Rockstar built was simply epic. The interactions with the gang were amazing, and you know they did a great job with the characters when you'd get a little bummed when some would meet their demise while you simply couldn't wait to send another character on the express to Hell (yeah Micah).

3. Ghost of Tsushima - what a swan song for the PS4, with some of the best graphics and gameplay on the console. Compelling story too, with interesting side characters that help round out Jin's story. Honestly, I go back and forth on switching this one and RDR2 on this list.

4. South Park: The Fractured But Whole - to me, this game was better than The Stick of Truth. It felt like a really great episode of South Park and just like the show wasn't afraid to cross boundaries. There were moments in this game where I had to pause it for a few minutes because I simply couldn't stop laughing. I really need to play through this again, it's been a few years.

5. Grand Theft Auto V - feels weird putting a game that dropped during the tail end of the PS3 era and was ported over to PS4, but the story was good and the graphical upgrade...wow. This game might even be higher (and maybe RDR2 perhaps) if Rockstar actually added more standalone single player offline stories like they did in the past (think back to RDR1 and GTA IV) but they only give a fuck about the online modes now. Props to them though, they've made the online mode so great that it's still thriving in 2021...so much so that this will carry over to the PS5 too. Maybe sometime during the PS5 life cycle we'll actually get a GTA VI.

Sure I missed quite a few (God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4) but if I didn't finish them they weren't making the list. Might also be the first list for me where a console didn't release a sports title that was good enough for me to add here...NBA 2K20 would be the closest.

Your turn.

I swear I thought I responded to this....

1) GTAV - first game I tried and very nearly accomplished 100% with

2) Spider Man - first game where I did accomplish 100% completion, twice.

3) RDR II - love the genre and loved this game and again achieved 100%

4) MLB series - this was an annual purchase for me

5) LOU 2 - I really enjoyed Uncharted 1 and 2 but for me, this one was much better.

AND I missed PS4 games? My oh my.


Top 5 PS4 Games

5. Overcooked! - Extremely fun co-op game, pretty fun single player too. Something of a puzzle game, moreso arcadey, but a game that puts you in some unusual kitchens with a plethora of ingredients and orders to fulfill.

4. Apex Legends - my first battle royale, as I never got into Fortnite very much. No building, instead focused on "Legends" with special abilities and a library of weapons at their disposal. Can play in a squad of 3 or just 2; and as of this morning at 10:00 AM PT, there's even a new 3 v 3 mode that does away with the battle royale altogether. Definitely fun to play with friends, still pretty fun to solo through the online play too.

3. Spider-Man - Not sure what else there is to say. The amount of costumes was so much fun (even if none of us used any others after unlocking the cel-shaded version), and like the Arkham games before it, being able to swing through the city while fighting swarms of enemies does a great job of capturing what's fun about being Spider-Man, with a rocking story to boot.

2. Stardew Valley - Harvest Moon, but with extra mining and adventuring options. This game blew up on PC and eventually got ported to consoles (recently updated with couch co-op!) One of the most fun experiences I had on PS4.

1. RDR II - I mean, what else do I need to say? Just an absolutely engrossing, immersive experience, with an incredible story and gameplay mixed with atmosphere that transports you right into its setting. One day I'll complete my evil run-through, but easily just one of the most rewarding experiences on this console.

Eff it, I'll double up.

Top 5 PS3 Games, to the best of my busted memory's ability

5. Arkham Asylum - Hard for me to decide between this and City, but Arkham's such a confident introduction to this series, and the fact that they made a Batman game that was A) incredibly fun to play, and B) perhaps even ushered in the gaming review phrase "makes you feel like you're actually ______," which in this case obviously meant Batman and would later go on to mean Spider-Man during a particular PS4 game. But yeah, tight story here, excellent level design that allows you to really utilize all your gadgets throughout the gameplay, and a fighting style that allowed you to fight multiple combatants at once without being overwhelmed. You know, just like Batman!

4. NCAA Football 14 - Enough said on this one, around these parts. Makes me want to grab a PS3 just to replay it as I brutalize myself with a co-op Madden 20 franchise, but the depth behind Dynasty mode combined with just fluid gameplay made for an all-time NCAAF game.

3. MLB: The Show '08 - My first go-round with The Show, and holds sentimental value for me as I had a co-op franchise with my best friend and roommate at the time (Yanks vs Blue Jays!).

2. Last Of Us - Cheating a bit here as I can't remember a lot of the PS3 games I played, and PRETTY sure I played this one on PS4 when I first played it, but eff it. Another one with an excellent story, and gameplay that balanced the line between Uncharted style cover-shoot action, and a stealth horror game.

1. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - been an MGS fan since the 1st one on the Playstation (never played Metal Gear 1 or 2 on the NES, haha). Four's gameplay is more of what we'd come to expect from the series, with Metal Gear Solid 3's camo being expanded into a single camo suit that adapts to your surroundings when you pick a good spot. What amazes me to this day is that somehow, this game ties up ALLLLLLLLL the loose ends from the previous entries for a story that felt like it had blown up and spiraled out of control, yet somehow was wrapped with a neat bow by Hideo Kojima. Unfortunately you can't start with this game, it'll absolutely make no sense, but if you ever want to play through a single-player quadrilogy, MGS-MGS4 is the way to go. You won't be disappointed.

Never play MGS V. Don't do it.







Top 5 Iconic Star Wars Quotes

Norm took some good ones, so let me go with some outliers:

5. "Was a boring conversation anyway."

4. "Your overconfidence is your weakness."
"Your faith in your friends is yours."

3. "You weak-minded fool! He's using an old Jedi mind trick."

2. "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

1. "Never tell me the odds!"

Anyone pick it up? Played it about two hours on release day, I'd describe it as Dead Space meets Hades. Very challenging but enjoying it so far.

this means nothing to me lol can you clarify?


Hahaha, sure.

So, Hades is a roguelike that kind of set a new standard for roguelike games this year. You may've seen games in the past such as Risk of Rain 1 or 2, or Rogue Legacy, which fall under the roguelike category. Basically, you have "1 run" to beat the game, otherwise you start all the way back at the beginning, but typically there's some form of permanent upgrade you can utilize to make successive "runs" easier, and in Hades there's even a story element that basically requires you to make run after run after run to progress.

In Rogue Legacy, you'd respawn as an "heir" of your last adventurer, and can use whatever gold and XP you gained in your previous run through the castle to upgrade certain skills or your total HP or MP.

In Hades, your goal is to escape from Hades by running through 3 areas: Tartarus, Asphodel and Elysium in a bid to escape from Hades (you play as Zagreus, the son of Hades himself). Death is a part of the game in roguelikes instead of an actual fail-state, and never is that more apparent than in Hades, where if you die, you return to the main hall of Hades to your father's (and other's observation), or where
Spoiler
even if you escape Hades, you learn Zagreus can't survive in the mortal world, and thus you die just to return to, you guessed it, Hades.

I'm using these two main examples as I'm still learning Returnal's own systems, but it's very similar. The game starts with you crash landing on an alien planet, it isn't long before you find your own dead body on the planet, and begin to discover you're in a time loop that resets every time you die. There are some permanent upgrades, and some items that carry over from run to run to help alleviate some of the difficulty, but Returnal is a more punishing game than the other two, with a tone and atmosphere more befitting of the earlier Dead Space games, a horror franchise also set in outerspace.

I know in Returnal initially there are 3 biomes: a forest, I think a swamp and then a desert (I haven't made it out of the first biome yet). I also know eventually you unlock 3 more beyond that, but the concept is the same: try to escape the time loop by completing runs. Each of these games also have their own weapon systems and mid-game powerups/debuffs (in Returnal, this comes in the form of making a choice of picking up either "parasites," which specifically tell you what they're boosting and what they're draining during a run, or "malignant items," which are items that also grant buffs, but may cause your suit to malfunction in some way unless you can clean the malignancy with some ether).

Gameplay-wise, Returnal is third person, and makes incredible use of the dual sense controller to both build atmosphere, but also allow for some interesting gunplay via the haptic feedback.

The main knock on the game right now is there's no save feature, which is fine story-wise, because essentially it saves every time you die (there IS a story, progress is mostly locked behind your own success), but as the game goes on and your skill improves, theoretically runs start taking longer and longer, and the no-save issue becomes a problem as you find yourselves 3 hours into a game and still needing to fight the final boss. The game developer has said "Just put your PS5 in rest mode," which, sure, is A solution, although doesn't account for automatic updates or your console just plain shutting off, but this hasn't been a problem for me yet as I haven't had a run go over an hour.

Finally got around to picking up Hades since it was on sale. Good game so far, really enjoyable.

Friend of mine also talked me into Slay the Spire, but I'm not familiar with card/deck building type games yet. Might fire that up in a bit.


Have heard great things about Slay the Spire, was eyeing that myself. Would love to hear what you think of it if you get it.
