  1. I’d like to game on my PS4 in the evenings (kids asleep, wife watching only available TV) and I’m thinking of getting a monitor that would double as computer monitor and a PS4 screen in our office. Volume isn’t an issue as I’ll use headphones. I was originally going to use a 32” 720p TV I bought on Black Friday and use it as a computer monitor but I was told using a 720p TV would not be a great choice for a computer monitor (poor resolution for text and web surfing). So now I’m looking at a more traditional monitor. If my PS4 will be the source of gaming (not the computer) does the quality of monitor matter? I noticed any listings on slickdrals for gaming monitors seem to focus on refresh rate, delay, video card compatibility (freesync, g sync) or whether it is curved. The prices seem to fluctuate wildly $150-600. I’m willing to spend money but not if it’s a waste. The computer will most likely be a Mac mini if that matters. We have an iMac now and it’s beyond updating. A buddy suggested a 27” monitor is a great sweet spot for sitting at a desk gaming so that is what I’m focusing on.
  2. Wandered online. The game doesn’t explain SHIT!! Everywhere I selected I couldnt figure out what it was. No description, no guidance. I guess I am not the target audience. What the fuck is hard core? Is that one shot one kill? Sounds too intense so I avoided. . I think I stepped into moshpit? I think your run through a series of team events on different maps back to back. The first two maps I hadn’t seen before. I know I played control and hard point and the collect dog tags one. I felt bad for my team. I know one I was getting a kill ratio of 0.48. From watching how I died, these guys have amazing aim. I didn’t see how to talk to my team. I heard them after the match but not during for the first two matches. The third I kept hearing about how shitty our team was doing. After about an hour I went back to making private team deathmatches filled with regular (not recruit not expert) bots. Still had a good time. I need to test more weapons.
  3. So I finished all the specialist training and winning their skirmishes on level 3. Finally went to the custom match setting and set up team deathmatch with 9 bots. I think this is my jam. I may wander online for real some day but I need to explore these maps some more. I like it. Reminds me a lot of unreal tournament but you know better.
  4. Collin McHugh has a podcast that just started called twelve six. Only one episode and he brought in Lance McCullers to chat.
  5. Maybe he and this gal are waiting for a Dark Crystal reboot
  6. My next 1911 will probably be a RIA tactical in 9mm. Cheap shooter with all the perks I would be interested in.
  7. I wanted clean lines and a classic look so I went this way
  8. I have bought and sold several 1911s but you have options. A lot of options. Rock Island (and others) can get you a very good shooter with all the basics and could be a good first shooter to find what you want. They have a base model and a tactical model both of which are good to go and liked by plenty. $ I didn't like SigSauers 1911. They were different enough from a standard 1911 build that it bugged me so I sold mine. It cost about double what the RIA cost. $$ Colt makes a great base government model that isn't horribly pricey and has all the look of a classic 1911 and looks great just as it comes. It also shoots well. $$ Others in between the RIA and the Colt include Remington, Springfield Armory and all the brands you know and love. $$ Stepping up from there with tighter tolerances include models from Dan Wesson and competition models from STI. $$$ serious investments in shooting. I never got there. STI used to make some base models I wish I had bought, but I don't see them available on their website anymore. But there is a gun for your comfort level in price but most will be great shooters and allow you to customize to make it your own.

    Targeting

    I think there should be some gradation in the punishment on targeting. Obvious disregard for human life: out 4 quarters Poor form leading to a potential concussion: 15 minutes (hockey penalty box style) Incidental but potentially harmful contact with the head despite use of all correct form: 10 yards.
  10. ....”4 out of 12 (25%)”.... that’s some aggy math if I ever saw it.

    PSVR

    I’ve put a couple hours into superhot. Cool idea. Gets a little glitchy if the camera loses track of your wand. But still very fun. I tried Wipeout because I put in serious time on PS1 and PS3 (I think) and love the game. I got instant motion sickness when in the drivers seat. I had to go to a different camera angle. I tried a bunch of demos and the only one I bought was a tank one (battlezone I think) which reminds me of 3D Atari tanks. I have not put a lot of time on it but I will. I thought about getting Dino Frontier (Sim city type set in a old west reality that has dinosaurs), but the reviews say it is really short. Tetris Effect is really cool. Very immersive and they didn’t screw up the classic game in the process. Bravo. I also have Dirt, Batman VR and Rush of Blood waiting to be played.
  12. So I’ve been practicing in the skirmish area. Still haven’t plaid against anyone but 3arc bots. I like that. It’s fun. I’ll venture online sometime soon.
  13. Holidays got me. Time to refocus. 12 pounds up from my 2018 low (194) 6 pounds up since thanksgiving. With a goal weight of 190 I have some work to do.
  14. First: sweet shooter there. I don’t have a beretta yet and I do want one. Second: I remember my first non-budget pistol I bought was a glock. I texted a cop buddy of mine to brag about buying my first “real” gun. And he made some flippant comment about, “great if you like plastic pistols”. It bugged me at the time. I asked him what he carried and it was a Sig P226. I understand his comment better than I took it when he said it. And he was correct, they are different. If you like polymer pistols, a glock is a great option. If you don’t, you could care less. I own and like to shoot both polymer and steel but I enjoy my Sig P226 and CZ75 more than my Glock G19 or CZp10c.

    Snatch

  16. I didn’t see it mentioned but the Meal Simple section is awesome. A lot of fresh ingredient meals, entrees or sides that are ready to heat and eat. My favorites include: Chipotle lime chicken breast, broccoli and potatoes (Santa Fe?) Chicken breast and broccoli Small strip steak and potatoes Bacon wrapped asparagus Chicken, bacon, Mac n cheese Chicken Tortilla soup kit Our H-E-B in hut to just tripled their space dedicated to their meal simple stuff so I know I’m not alone. It’s great when I work a later shift and used to spend my lunch eating fast food somewhere. I can get a better meal in a half hour with half the calories and no waste since I’m cooking for one.
  17. When my kids know one verse of a song and sing it on repeat. Bonus points when they get the words wrong.

    Snatch

    The Tyrone getaway driver scene had me rolling. What’s the matter with that space over there? It’s too tight. Too tight? You could land a jumbo fucking jet in there.

    Snatch

    Do you know what nemesis means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent.

    Tony. Open the dog. Whatcha mean open the dog?
  21. Fuck me. Per Wikipedia “Black Ops 4 is the first Call of Duty title without a traditional single-player campaign mode”. Guess I gotta find a way to kick some tweens ass. I had played and completed the first three CoD BO games. Never occurred they wouldn’t put at least a short campaign on it.

    Shit My Kid Says

    Wen't to eat burgers and after dinner one of my six year olds spots a guy waiting near the bathroom wearing an eye patch. 6yo: You look like a pirate (pointing at the patch)

    Shit My Kid Says

    Just tell her they are SERIOUS about math. Especially addition..
  24. Bought this a few weeks back but haven't played it yet. How is the campaign? There is one right? I've never been a huge multiplayer guy because I can't handle getting shit talked by a 12 year old when frustrated. I might have to try as it seems to be getting a lot of great reviews.

    Spiderman

    Second DLC released recently. Still solid. I've now completed 100% on new game+ and both DLCs. I'll probably put it aside until the last DLC comes out.
