  1. More Syd in season 5
  2. Took the oldest to Colorado College for a tour and then drove to Boulder to look at CU. We drove by Pike’s Peak and came up the east side of the Rockies by going from Deckers into Morrison. Spectacular. If I’m going to be poor if she goes to school here, at least I can visit and enjoy these views.
  3. Of course it worked. 24 years. You think I’m some amateur?
  4. Then later he will drop the charade and be full blown Rex again until he melts down again. Rinse and repeat.
  5. Took the wife to see this for our anniversary after a nice dinner. Beautifully shot and Tony Leung has been a favorite since Infernal Affairs.
  6. 100 year floods that seem to happen every couple of years. This is the ultimate Tim Robinson in the banana guy costume gif. They don't care. Time to cover their own asses and make sure they kiss Trump's ass. It's not their kids dying.
  7. Lotta people saying Sacred Heart has diarrhea.
  8. The friend, yes. Marcus, no. He awkwardly tried to ask out Sydney in season 2.
  9. I think Mackie has not had anyone do him favors on screenwriting since Civil War. The writing in the tv show and last movie was horrible. Conversely, he was great in his guest spot on The Studio. I guess we'll see when he's got the Russo writing for him again if it helps.
  10. Finished season 4 last night. I really enjoyed it. I think they brought things back around nicely. Not sure why Ayo is so disliked on here but I thought she did great. Syd is high functioning neurotic/probably autistic like Carmy. I think a lot of characters grew and this was about processing and dealing with their traumas. Interested to see where season 5 goes but I feel like we're going to wait a bit given the main 3 have loaded schedules coming up. The scene with Carmy and Lee in the kitchen was so well done. Lee went from being a bastard to someone who helped further un-stick Carmy. That scene allowed the final scene with Carmy, Syd, and Richie to happen and it was masterful.
  11. I thought the early 90s Williams pinball games where great. That was when they added some graphics boxes to aid the game play like a level that opened up if you got a ball lock like on T2 or the water skiers torpedo game on Fish Tales. Now pinball games feel over reliant on screens. It's not the same but there are some cool pinball emulators that you can play on tablets and phones.
  12. I don't think it's going to really hit me until we start to play a match and he's not there. Life can be so beautiful and so very cruel. I feel so terrible that his kids grow up without a father. I know the club will honor him well when the time is right.
  13. Einstein's was by Texas Textbooks and the Coop. You're thinking of Le Fun next to the Scientology building.
  14. There was a whole host of great laserdisc games from that era. Cobra Command, Mach 3, Cliff Hanger, Freedom Fighter, Super Don Quixote, Mad Dog McCree. https://www.giantbomb.com/laserdisc/3015-8905/games/
  15. Hey Joe, you want me to shoot this guy? https://www.nbclosangeles.com/entertainment/actor-michael-madsen-death-malibu/3738032/
  16. Monty's Christmas gifts are always great.
  17. Devastated. YNWA Diogo.
  18. I worked at Crystal's Pizza off Inwood from the summer of 1992 till it closed in the fall of 1993. That was a great place to work. My friend was the MOD in the evenings and when it was slow enough or we were closed for the night, we'd open up the video game coin returns with his key and set everything to free play. My mom would take me to Putt Putt every couple of Saturdays and just leave me there with enough money to play video games and get a hot dog while she went shopping. We would also do Midnight Madness where you paid a set amount and they came by with buckets of quarters to load into the machines. But by far the greatest arcade was the two story Chuck-E-Cheese at Walnut Hill near 75. That was where I first played Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.
  19. Oh don't worry. Rex will return in about a month under some new name where it will be easy to figure out who he is as he does his usual attacking style and following people around to get responses. Then you can put that username on ignore until he brings Rex Kramer back out of retirement. Tale as old as time.
  20. Try as they might they can never get back the feeling of an 80s arcade. There's no Rock-Afire Explosion. There's no more tokens. There's a few places here in DFW called Freeplay that scratch that itch with old arcade games. As a kid, I wanted nothing more than $20 in tokens and that could last me a few hours at Putt-Putt or Aladdin's Castle. Now when I play these games at a place where you pay a set fee and everything is free play, it's a lot easier to just get bored quickly with a game and walk away mid-game. At least Freeplay has decent food and beers.
