We are approaching American Thanksgiving, when it is generally agreed that the standings are more or less set and a playoff picture begins to come into focus (still insane to me- seems like maybe 82 games is too much if we are already at that point by 20). How's your team faring? Leafs are 1...

Pretty sure hosting the summer games is ALSO a massive scam. What was the last time the Olympics ACTUALLY increased tourism/ job rates/ quality of life for the city it was held in? Seems to me that the only buildings that ever get much use after the fact are the Olympic Villages which get...

I've tried it in both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on my computer. My current theory, is that Windows 10 is installing its own shitty generic tablet driver when I reboot to finalize the installation, and the two drivers are fighting one another. I already tried disconnecting from the internet to...

What is wrong with me!? I'm more excited for Detective Pikachu than for Toy Story 4?!

They're pretty favourably reviewed, for the most part. Driver issues seem common but people seem to like the product a whole lot. And it's not like Wacom is without driver issues (that's another part of why I figured I'd get something else). I even know a couple of very good animators at a very...

Yeah it occurred to me after the fact that might be misleading.

When I watched the Magnificent Seven remake, I Watched it knowing full-well that Vincent D'onofrio was in it, and after they had assembled the whole crew, I was like "Wait, where's D'onofrio? He must be one of the bad guys, I guess?". There was like, ten minutes left in the movie when I realized...

Everything has been signed and it's 100% official. I've even given my resignation at the current job. So now I can say, I'll be animating at Snapchat!

My Wacom cintiq died some time ago. Works as a tablet but the backlight is burned out so the screen won't turn on. It's passed warranty coverage so getting it fixed was going to be somewhere around $700 (based on stories I heard from other people with the same issue). Decided instead of...

I have no words. Was really not expecting this today.

I'm mad at how much I actually want to see this now.

God help me, Detective Pikachu looks like a fun movie.

Going to see the Planet Smashers play with Big D and the Kids Table, the Gutter Demons, and Doghouse Rose Dec 1st. I've e seen the Planet Smashers dozens of times at this point and I always love it. A buddy of mine who has never been to a ska show, and had never even heard of punkabilly is...

Nov. 11, 2018 202.6lbs 24.5% body fat Zombies, Run! 5k training is kicking into high gear now. Week 3 is where a lot of the walking becomes running. It's also starting to get cold out. Yesterday was the first run of the year I had to do in snow, and the first run of the week didn't get...

Overlord Hadn't even heard of this before but my wife and I decided to go to a VIP movie to celebrate me getting that job. Checked out the trailer and the synopsis and I was sold this could be fun. If we weren't dying to get out for a date night away from baby, and didn't have reason to...

Agreed. It looks like a very generic Santa and kids save Christmas movie. We have seemingly hundreds of those. But they don't have Kurt Russel as Santa Claus and this one does. Sooooooooooo... definitely gonna watch.

I GOT THE JOB, MOTHERFUCKERS. *ahem* It's a BIG pay increase over my current job (120%), plus my transit costs will be cut in half, transit time will be cut by a half hour each way, they pay for my lunch, they pay my phone bill, and some other giant benefits. And I'll animating again and...

Update: go see the epic win thread. Gimme like, 2 min first though.

As a big fan of the Rollcage series for PS1, I've been waiting 17 years for a game to come along and give me that same high adrenaline, ludicrously fast combat racing fix. Grip: Combat Racing came out yesterday. It's been available in Beta on Steam for a few years but somehow I hadn't heard...

The Holophonics' ska cover of Sum 41's "Fat Lip" appeals to that part of my brain that is still forever stuck in grade nine. (in halforums terms, that back in the Image board days, when I went by the handle jacobmcpoop)
