I'll say Backbone.

Never. Question. The Overlay.

I've got two little kids of my own, and I sometimes listen to the Bomb/Beastcasts with them around and they enjoy it as well.

I also tell them not to use Those Words when those words come up in the podcasts. So when someone calls something "fuckin' dumb" I turn to them (8 year old son, 5 year old daughter) and say "You guys can't talk like this, okay?" or some other way of saying it.

They're gonna hear bad words and it's my job to tell them to not repeat it. How else are they going to be able to watch all the hot Minecraft content on this website?

PREDATOR:

I cannot tell you how long I thought this movie was actually titled "The Predator" but as it turns out it was NOT titled that, the sequel that came out... last year? 2018? That one's named The Predator. This one's just named PREDATOR and it fucking rules.

Shane Black is extremely unlikable, tells bad jokes, and eventually gets fuckin' killed.

Carl Weathers is ripped as fuck and is able to keep shooting a gun with an arm that is no longer on his body while he dramatically dies.

Jesse Ventura possibly has not aged since this movie came out, and man does he make chewing tobacco look precisely as gross as it is. You may have heard, but he does not have time to bleed.

Arnold Schwarzenegger basically plays Col. John Matrix, only this time he's fightin' an alien and he has fewer opportunities for his excellent quips; that said, stick around.

There are some other actors in this movie as well, but I can't remember their names. That said, they all turn in good performances, one of them is constantly shaving and sweats a ton, and another is clearly supposed to be a Native American because he is a good tracker and attempts to face the Predator in honorable combat on a log bridge. We don't get to see his attempt, just hear his bellows of pain and fear as he gets shanked. Also Predator rips out his spine like he's Sub Zero and Billy--the character's name is Billy--just dropped 2 rounds against him.

This movie gets 4.5 Commandos out of 5. I'm gonna watch Predator 2 next.

The Big Short:

Has 2020 not made you angry enough yet? Why not come and watch a movie all about our previous economic collapse in which nobody responsible was ever held accountable for anything.

TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL

vincentavatar on Origin. I'm around nights EST, mostly. Been distracted by other games but hey, whatever.

It might be because HP just announced (or released? I don't remember but here's the article) a bunch of new models in their gaming laptop line. If that is the previous model, it might be the natural progression of things, and if it's the new one, well, somebody has to try and compete with Alienware.

Oh, I got it on Xbone! I think there's a squad in theory, but haven't managed to join. The info is in this thread. Also, I've recently begun posting my online session ID any time I'm playing. If the squad in that thread doesn't take off, I'll start one of my own, but I think that the XBone crowd is small enough that I don't want to fracture it. I'd be surprised if we can get a full 50 members, but there's at least three or four of us right now.

Edit: Just so you don't have to go searching, the squad is named Barroth Bombers and is run by JagJames, who I've not actually tracked down.

Yo let's get that XBox One squad... extant?

I'm gonna start just throwing session IDs into the Discord (and maybe here too?) whenever I am on and we will Make This Shit Happen.

EDIT: Session's up. 6BCYdkNKDKZ.
