  1. Retards who don't understand how lines work or queues in general

    "order here" signs in sandwich shops, not that confusing...

    Edit: Some places are just poorly designed, I get that. But c'mon people

    edit2: goddamn amazon open box warehouse specials, bunch of bullshit. the description says, "Cosmetic damage (Less than 5% ) on the top of the item" but the monitor I just received has a fucking gash IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN. homie don't play that, refund incoming

    Edit3: I miss being able to delete posts. Bleh

  2. Late to the party but I have Red Dead Redemption GOTY Edition arriving today, that should be a good time suck. Have only played it very briefly before but given how much time I've wasted in GTA this seems like a natural fit

    A buddy has let me borrow Assasin's Creed 2 and Uncharted 2/3 but I'm having a hard time getting into either yet for whatever reason. Uncharted usually gets to a point where I can't figure out what to do then just rage quit, haa

  3. Not feeling the Vince Vaughn casting so much but we'll see how it goes

    Both Ballers and The Brink were pretty enjoyable. Ballers feels like a sports Entourage with all the cameos. Either way, some good 30 minute shows to fill the Silicon Valley void

    Hannibal is as good as ever, the visual mind fuckery and mental warfare between the characters is something else

    The Tyrant is pretty bad

    Edit: Oh damn just saw Ian McShane is in S03 of Ray Donovan, will have to hurry up and finish season 02

  4. internet is throwing a fit over paypal's updated user agreement fwiw. mostly the robocall / text part:

    Amendments to the PayPal User Agreement

  5. iOS 9 looks dope, mostly the iPad stuff like the split view multitasking, screen-in-screen, improved keyboard shortcuts

    OS X El Capitan is pretty meh

  6. I personally thought the S04 Finale was Breaking Bad's apex, but id say the rest is worth finishing too

    The fact that you even stopped SoA combined with those previous two statements will be enough for me to shy away. 7 seasons is a fucking commitment

  7. Should probably rip through Ray Donovan after I wrap up Deadwood...

    Anyone watch/recommend Sons of Anarchy? Fairly involved with some fake biker gangs in GTA Online right now so figured this might be right up my alley (Mongols 4 lyfe heh). I know the show is completely done.. Wondering if it's worth the time I guess

  8. so...where did all those people go that said GoT's current season is weak?

    Another solid episode this week, even if the very end was a bit much. Really interested to see how the finale plays out

    Same with Silicon Valley.. The past couple episodes I've been thinking "why doesn't Pied Piper just sell to Hooli?" Which they kinda teased at for the finale. I think pulling Gavin Belson into the main fold could be pretty entertaining

  9. started deadwood out of the blue, can't believe i never watched this before. for shame

    community all wrapped up -- the show will never be as good as the first couple of seasons, but i think yahoo did a good job with this last one all things considered

    really looking forward to colbert's new show. once jon stewart leaves daily show it's basically only last week tonight left for that genre... don't have a lot of faith in that trevor noah successor after the weak ass colbert replacement comedy central came up with

    mr. robot is... not good. could develop a long list of technology hot words, throw in a stereotypical computer nerd, and voila... you have USA's new show. the ratings aren't that bad, and i could see some folks enjoying it, but i feel shows like silicon valley handle the actual tech side of things much more accurately (even for a completely fictional company/product). maybe i'll give it another go once the next episodes finally drop in july, but the pilot was a bunch of smh moments (oh, you're using gnome! i've always been a kde guy myself... yeah yeah, i know what you're saying, why would a corporate bigwig use linux!, etc...)

  10. I think it has to do with server connections fucking shit up because I was doing large file transfers while simultaneously exporting Digital Cinema Packages (our scratch disk locations are all shared storage too). Pushing that bandwidth to the limit

    Work machine is a 3.5GHz i7 w/32gb ram... Not too shabby. Just had a couple kernel panics / restarts this week under heavy stress and it has me being a little more cautious than I like
