Trying to decide on a new electric razor is a bit of a pain. My old one from Philips broke after less than a year due to a lot of plastic in the construction (the foil got stuck in an angled position so was no longer safe). Too many options with too many price points. Looked online at reviews and the reviews lean towards the pricier models. 🙁

Started a new game in NMS (I really need to stay on a single game for more than a few weeks :P) and started in a system with an Earth-like planet. Going to explore it soon now that I need to return to the system and will likely toss a base on it. In another system, there’s a very mountainous desert world that I quite like the aesthetics of. I’ll…[Read more]

Yep, Scalzi does use some colorful language. Part of what gives his books their charm! 😀

Yeah, Star Wars reviews are all over the map. That’s not even taking into account the changes made with each subsequent release. Han shot first!

Then there’s the debate whether or not Star Wars is science fiction or space opera. Space opera is a subgenre of…[Read more]

An old classic:

Even though NMS keeps receiving ongoing support, I really wouldn’t mind if it got paid updates if it meant even bigger and better updates.

There was an incredible hype and promotional activity at the time of the original Star Wars film release. This mad it into a “crowd pleaser”, so fun for everyone really, however the urge to personally explore it further never did come to realization. The vollies from some critics rang clear and loud:

Star Wars is a junkyard of cinematic gimcracks…

Not sure how RT works but I think it mostly pulls from older reviews so it can be a bit problematic when sentiments change.

Saw Death Race 2000 finally and it was fun. Weird film but fun 😛

Didn’t Egghead make a “die laughing” joke in that episode? I think so 😛

Change of plans! Crystal Wing is staying in the Blackwing deck! Was about to be backed in a corner yesterday so I used Small World to swap some cards out that ultimately let me bring out Crystal Wing, letting me clench the game. Still perfecting this deck but we’re getting closer!

Thanks for the heads up. 🙂
If ever you find yourself in that above-mentioned predicament of free fall flurry, feel free to holler and theme while you plummet and corkscrew, knowing full well there will not only be rapturous applause, but it will be accompanied by the keen realization it will be generated somewhere else, and for someone else most…[Read more]

These days, the materials have advanced enough where you don’t really need to do that anymore. I have some old sleeves lying around that stick together a lot so they’re definitely on the replacement list. Been slowly cannibalizing the cards from that old deck for new stuff. Who knew cards themselves got hungry 😛

Sounds good. Will look into…[Read more]

Unusual to see Liam Neeson in a comedy, does RT rate on casting, and could any of them be convinced to revise their score after a second viewing?
Only Lovers Left Alive didn’t work over here. The dull dialogue, empty characters and tawdry backdrops was all B-grade, the movie purported to be more than it was. It was one of those movies from which…[Read more]

Can those be used in Windows without an additional interpreter? That was the nice thing about VB script: it could be used right out of the box.

Yeah, sad about the forums. Reminds me of GHF, to be honest: folks just drifted away over time.

Ugh!

Yeah, hate it when things like that happen. Very annoying!

Was reminded of pandoc the other day.…[Read more]

Thanks to the llamas, everything should be back to normal. Please give a holler if anything else is out of whack, save for the ongoing theme work. Well, you could holler about that but it is ongoing so it’s a good way to get a sore throat. Also, you may want to holler if you find yourself suddenly without a parachute while falling over the Pacific…[Read more]

If it was twenty-feet, it’d be a moon-ful of lasagna! 😀

The ad does read as though they may be having issues getting the licensing agreement worked out, which is interesting. They don’t usually advertise products like that unless they know the paperwork is all figured out.

Cool! Never played Doom myself. Though, I did used to play a lot of…[Read more]

20 inches, and half expecting it to be 20 feet, thus lasagna for an entire army!
Quite a few mods for Doom 2 at Nexus, earliest 2015, quite a few f9om this year interestingly.

Gorky Park is a classic! Still haven’t read the book, though. 🙁 I really need to change that

Watched High Spirits again yesterday and it’s always a lot fun. Really don’t understand the 31% RT rating. It’s a good romp with a lot of actors just entering their careers with a few well-known names.

That would require a lot of lasagna to maintain 😛

That is nice!

My dad uses colorful, spotted toadstools for his incense. He usually picks them up at the art festivals so I may try looking there when we get one 🙂

Yeah, it’s really quite cool to see things as he intended them to look. I do remember that some of the descriptions were kind of vague. 🙂 I wonder if there are illustrations of…[Read more]
