I still go back to Babylon 5. Except for the first part of season 5, when they scrambled after not expecting the season, they had a good balance of an 5 yr underlying story with single episodes stories built in. I thought it was a good plan for keeping a series interesting.

Boomers are taking this far more seriously than the young. This part of your post was unnecessary. I agree with the rest of your response.

Unbelievable. Doesn't he know he shouldn't be touching his face?

Are they paying in toilet paper and hand sanitizer?

Not sure if you are joking or not, but in case, this didn't happen https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/covid-19-found-in-toilet-paper/

So, what's your take on it?

Depends what you are doing. You block and attack right, and you get some awesome slow-mo kills. I just hate the spiders.

NASCAR races postponed for the next 2 weeks. Yesterday they had plans to run them without an audience. Had them set up to PVR. There goes my Sunday afternoon nap.

Depending on what you game like, you can set the difficulty to "Story Mode" and it is pretty easy to get through, plus falling off cliffs doesn't do damage. I did that first and am going through at the next level. It does make it a lot harder as damage does pile up. Oh. And learn to block.

Do you really think it will matter? Guy is so greasy that none of it sticks.

I paid full pop for it and am glad I did. I was a big fan of KOTOR and Mass Effect (1&2, 3 is stupid) and really liked my first playthrough of Fallen Order. There are some frustrating points (like timing jumps just right from an ice flow) but the story os good and the play is good. I don't play multiplayer games.

So, instead of a discussion about Warren, this thread gets derailed yet again. Bleh. I'm curious where her supporters will go. Some are closer to Sanders in terms of belief's, but I'd think there is a strong urge to just get Biden and be done, as that seems inevitable. Course the same could have been said years ago with Clinton, and we see how that worked out.

This. The candidate should stand on their policy and not engage in mud slinging, while those left behind should be burying Trump in his own ****.

12. And I haven't started watching Picard yet. Have it pvr'd and am going to binge.

Only reason I haven't cut. I can PVR all the CFL games and watch when I want, or delete all the Riders games and watch the rest. But after paying for Center Ice and seeing the Jets current season, it's getting to be JUST the CFL keeping me around.

But they do have a better half-time show

Thanks. Now I just need my TV to show up.

Sorry if I missed it earlier in the thread, but has anyone played Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? Seems to NOT be a MMORPG and just single player (which for me is a big plus). Is it any good? How would it compare to KOTOR? Thanks

I feel this way over buying Center Ice this year and not bothering to watch games. Can't imagine how folks who live inn Winnipeg feel about dropping the same money for a night.

Oh god. Why'd you have to bring that up?

Not likely in our lifetime. https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/dont-panic-betelgeuse-is-almost-certainly-not-about-to-explode But even at the prodigious rates it's going through helium, it'll probably be about 100,000 years before it explodes. That's not a guarantee, but it's where the science points right now. Even if that's off by a lot, the odds of Betelgeuse going supernova in the next century are extremely low.

@kelownabomberfan has a nice setup with a projector. My room is too small for one as I'm under 10 ft from the TV. I like my 60" but would go 65 if I went OLED. Price jump to 77 is insane (IMHO) I painted the wood paneling instead of replacing it. When the basement was done (long before I bought it) it was framed for drywall, but then they put up thin paneling. So the put in scrap strapping to get the depth right. So if I pulled out the paneling I'd be having to tear out thousands of pieces of strapping. I just am finishing the ceiling, but left it a kind of home made drop ceiling in case I need to get up there again.
