[quote]Starting book 2 now. Tried to listen to the audible with RR to maybe knock it out a little faster but wasn't a fan of the narrator. Am I alone in that or is he typically considered pretty good?[/quote] You are absolutely alone. If you don't like Tim Gerard Reynolds, then you don't have a s...
Book 1 is almost its own genre compared to the rest of the series. I enjoyed it a lot, fwiw, but the "space opera" that the previous poster referred to really starts in book 2. Character development and flaws are a lot better moving forward ...
How difficult is it to get GPUs once the new series is released? I've been on gaming laptops for the last 5-6 years due to travel schedule, but that is no longer the case. Finally want to build something (or possibly buy a pre built if it's the only way to get the newest GPUs without waiting). T...

re: Fury v usyk

Posted by TTownTiger on 5/18/24 at 6:37 pm
The entire thread is about how close this fight is and people here complaining boxing is rigged if the fight goes to Fury? I don't get it. Didn't watch it myself, but if it is razor close like everyone is saying, why would it be robbery if the decision goes either way?...

[quote]I play it on PC. Game pass cloud.[/quote] Anytime I try playing it on my gaming laptop, I get lag that it makes hitting impossible. But I can load Xbox cloud up on my shitty android tablet and it plays flawlessly. I'm glad I can play it, but it pisses me off that I can't figure out how to...

re: Baldurs Gate III - Any tips?

This thread got me to start watching YT for tutorials and tricks. There is so much shite that I didn't know that I can do. I was in a playthrough for about 25 hours that I scrapped and restarted last night. I didn't have a clue on simple shite like casting buffs on my characters outside of battle...
Love watching her videos. She can get a little wordy at times. Like sometimes the video will already be 15 minutes long and she isn't through the first two lines of the song yet. But still love her stuff. System of a Down's BYOB is probably my favorite video of hers. ...
[quote]Michelle Monaghan An underrated beauty[/quote] Leslie Bibb used to be a smoke show when she was younger. Don't know if I've seen her in anything lately to know if she still is. [img]https://lostfilm.info/images/photo_actor/38/303668_377351.jpg[/img] ...

[quote]Most people think 3 is the best, but I never finished. It's a good story, but it loses steam when you get to the main villain, who isn't compelling.[/quote] Most reviews/opinions I've read think 3's villain is the best in the series. I am surprised this was your opinion. I've only play...

I don't know anyone that has traveled there since the fire. How's the recovery? Is everything opened back up? Mamas Fish House was amazing. We got lucky and was able to reserve it a few days out, but would reserve now if interested in going. ...
Nier: Automata has stuck with me well after I played it. The ending to Bioshock Infinite was pretty impactful too if you aren't expecting it. I also agree with the Mass Effect trilogy. I hadn't played ME3 since the original launched. Running through ME 1-3 Legendary Edition one after another w...

[quote]The more I think about this, the more I am truly perplexed how the decission makers in charge let this happen[/quote] True. But ACL Music Fest is the first two weekends of October too. So that entire month of October is going to be a shite show regardless of which weekend they scheduled a h...

F1 is a three day event starting on Friday. If you're planning to drive into Austin that Friday from SA, then you'll likely still have to plan around a lot of F1 traffic. The Domain is a good spot for that weekend. A lot of shopping, restaurants & bars in that area if you don't want to go downtow...

What's the money line on Sainz to podium?...

re: F1 Vegas

Posted by TTownTiger on 11/18/23 at 10:44 pm
Don't think I would touch Sainz. Without the penalty, then yes. A lot of the drivers have been comparing the narrow passing lanes to Monaco, so coming from 12 will be tough. I'm rooting for him to do it, though ...

Props to Jiri. Saying he was out. ...
