  1. Wednesday needs to hurry up and get here so I can read the new One Piece.. Usoland!! He better do something epic that cowardly bastard. -_-

    1. Pchan

      Pchan

      He's going to disappoint you! I'd like to see what he's up to, maybe show us Nami n crew that she's with because we haven't seen them in a while. Show more of the Zoro-Luffy situation as well cos they're right where DoFla is.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I really want to see the Zoro vs Pica fight. That DF ability is insane. Also.. if everyone gets reverted from their toy state.. then what about Soldier san's rifle? The plan was to be released from the toy curse and then he shoots Flamingo.. but if he has a toy rifle now, couldn't that rifle turn into some awesome bazooka or something? What if his toy rifle is just a toy because he is.. and once the curse is broken, its actually something ridiculously powerful?

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Usopp!!! He will be amazing! I know it! :D And now I have to wait 2 weeks for the next chapter.. damn. x_x

  2. Knob Creek is a powerful whiskey.. I did a couple shots of it and it really caught me by surprise. I suppose I should treat it like a sipping whiskey. :P

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Because it is. :P Thats a premium category meant to be used with sophistication... until you get to bookers where you enjoy a delightfully luscious taste ending with a Chuck Norris round house kick to the sinuses! XD

    2. Eppy

      Eppy

      Yeah Knob Creek is some good stuff.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      lol. XD

      I don't really sip whiskey, so I started doing small 1/5 to 1/4 shots here and there and it became quite enjoyable. ^_^

      A visit in summer just to watch you play golf is all worth it.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      That sounds like a good plan. We can hit the range so we can work on your golf swing. :D

  3. 3 day weekend for me. Finally. I need some time off. x_x

    1. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      I envy you, I still have to wait another week >_<

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      6 day weekend when I get off work tonight XD

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Very good. Enjoy that long weekend. :P

  4. I'm going to finally start half life 2 this weekend. I wonder how it holds up to today's standards seeing as i've never played it before and is 10 years old.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      It's still a great game.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I ended up doing a crap ton of cleaning this weekend. I have a four day weekend next weekend tho. :D

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I know I was able to stream Portal 2.. I might try streaming Half-Life 2 this weekend if it works.

  5. I used my new cast iron pan tonight. Now that I know how to use cast iron I am very pleased. I made a great pork loin tonight. ^_^

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      You can make some SERIOUS burgers with cast iron. It's actually how I prefer them over grilled.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I own two cast iron pans now. A regular skillet and a grill pan. I've only tried making burgers on the grill pan once last winter and it was a smokey greasy mess. x_x But! I have learned how to use cast iron now. I bet I could make some awesome burgers now especially since I've pretty much mastered making stuffed steak burgers on the grill this summer.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      The only reason I wanted cast iron pans is so that I could grill indoors during winter. Last year we averaged so many days in the negative that I had no desire to stand outside and cook on a grill mostly buried in the snow. lol. That grill pan makes some damn good steaks on the stove top.

  6. I have a 5 day weekend starting tomorrow. If anyone feels like getting on a game, BF4, Guild Wars 2, Destiny, send me a text. :D

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Knock out those last few levels tomorrow and lets do a Tequatl run :P We can travel around Sparkfly Fin and see how you hold up against the Risen in that area.

    2. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      If you decide to play some BF4 just drop me a text as I usually won't play it on days I work unless I have someone to play with.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Cool. I think I might be able to survive Tequatl now. :D I'll play some BF4 this weekend, I'll send you a text when I do.

  7. I hate winter. Its -10 outside right now not counting windchill.

    1. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Welcome to the last week and a half of my life. We're finally warming up out here in the boonies.

    2. DeathscytheX

      "I should have known! The Sons of Svanir have turned to Jormag's influence for power! Destroy that foul dragon totem!" XD

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Lol. XD

      I hear yeah strider. I wish it was summer already.

  8. I saw the best comeback ever in a Silverwastes map.. 2 of the breach champs were taken out with literally 1 second left on the clock and got us the win.. then after loosing a vinewrath champ fight and the north base going down to only 2 sieges left.. we pulled a victory out of our asses. :D

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      That would have just pissed me off. XD

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I almost mapped out twice to finish my daily, but I was glad I stuck around. :P

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Nothing irritates me more than mid boss failing. It's such an easy fight that people make harder than necessary.

  9. I went to buffalo wild wings for lunch for the first time in over 15 years. I had a burger with Pico de gallo and a bunch of other toppings including prime rib shavings. delicious. :D that burger was easily as good as what I'd get at 5 guys.

    1. Eppy

      Eppy

      mmmm went there for my birthday dinner...so tasty love the sauce selection

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I like how they have an employee that will bring out all the sauces to try out. I passed on the spicy ones. I didn't want to burn my taste buds before trying the food.

    3. Eppy
  10. I've really been slacking lately.. I didn't even make my usual april fools posts. -_-; Now that I'm not playing GW2 every free second, work overtime has kicked in and I've been spending more time offline. Its been nice, but I feel like I'm so far behind on so many things.. I'm 5 chapters behind on Fairy Tail too.. nooooo!

    1. Eppy

      Eppy

      tsk tsk tsk

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I caught up on fairy tail at least. :P

    3. Eppy

      Eppy

      I'd hope so!

  11. I got a letter this weekend "Welcome to your mandatory jury duty" I can never understand why jury duty is mandatory but voting isn't.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I'd welcome jury duty because my job pays me for the shifts I miss in full, and I get to sit in a comfortable chair all day. Plus the court pays me for travel. :P

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      My job will pay me too, my problem is the location of the court house downtown. I'll have to pay for parking too unless they give me a discounted rate when I get there. -_- I'll find out in a couple weeks if I'll have to serve our not. Id rather do my regular job. :P

    3. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Because jury duty is more important then voting. Heh, I got summoned last year but luckily they settled out of court so I didn't have to go. I would of went but it's hard to serve on a jury when you work nights, I'd of had to switch my whole schedule around for $25 a day plus my normal wages at work. Wouldn't of been worth it.

  12. Woke up this morning sick and thought I had salmonella poising.. All my symptoms have cleared up throughout the day, but I still have vertigo when I lay down.. wtf. x_x

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Sounds like you need some meclozine.

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      It could be a inner ear issue that is balancing itself out... its crazy how an ear problem can wreck your shit and make you feel like you're dying. I had minor vertigo for 3 months and I thought I was dying.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Lady has some of those pills from her last inner ear infection and they do help. It's crazy how some horrible this dizziness can make me feel. X_x

  13. I want to buy battlefront, but if I only have enough cash for one game, I'll end up buying Starcraft 2 legacy of the void. That campaign is calling to me.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      No matter what, your time will be consumed by the hunt for the fractal tonic! X'D

    2. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Heh, I'm only one mission in but I'd definitely say it's the better choice. Then again Battlefront is out on Tuesday and that's probably all I'll be doing from then on.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      That damn fractal tonic. I'm saving all my fractal daily chests for the december drop table update. x_x Starcraft, fractal tonic, battlefront... I feel like i'm being torn into 3 directions. well, i would feel like that if i had the money to buy those 2 games. Instead i'll be torn in 2 directions. New puppy and fractal tonic. XD

  14. Mythbusters finale almost brought a tear to my eye. So many feels with that reunion episode. And then after the credits, a bonus scene with them all sitting at a table eating falafel exactly like in the Avengers. lmao! XD

    1. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      An end to an awesome 14 years of science and silly jokes. I got kinda choked up hearing Adam talk about all the props and experiments but that certainly was an absolutely awesome way to end the show.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Hell yeah. All those props they destroyed. I thought most of their warehouse would have went on ebay.. Nope, they destroyed it all. XD Poor Buster. I'm glad they all got a keepsake of his remains tho.

      Kari Byron will always be my biggest nerd crush. <3

  15. I finished watching Star Wars Clone Wars the animated series. I find it hard to believe that Disney kept this as canon. There were a handful of episodes that literally seem to throw alot of movie canon right out the window. I'll have to post a topic about it once I get some references together. I'm trying to catch up on everything that is considered actual true canon now in the new Star Wars universe and this clone wars series really boggles my mind with some of the really dumb things that happened. Overall it was a great series tho and had so much killing in it for a kids show. holy crap. There were even some decapitations. Surprised the hell out of me for a kid's cartoon. XD

    1. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Never could actually get into this show and from what little I've seen and heard about (watch a lot of Star Wars youtube videos) it is quite funny how this is cannon (then again Lucas declared it canon when he still had control over it). I hear Rebels is quite out there too (again wouldn't know since I haven't watched it).

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I know they visit Malachor in rebels and refer to the events mentioned KOTOR 2 about the Jedi civil war. Funny since what was left of the planet was destroyed at the end of the game.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I started watching Rebels when it first came out but then missed enough eps that I dropped it before the first season ended. I'll watch it again to see how the canon is treated in it. One thing I remember being incredibly dumb is the slingshot energy weapon the kid had. Why have a slingshot that you have to manually pull to shoot when a blaster is 1000% more efficient, is faster to fire, takes up the same amount of space and can be used with one hand? So stupid. lol.

  16. I played the original Uncharted on PS3 and I'm playing the remaster now on PS4 so I can refresh my memory before I jump into Uncharted 2 and then 3. I found something out last night. If you shoot an enemy a couple times and then punch them to finish them off you get 1 of 3 unique kill animations. 1 is a roundhouse punch to the face that knocks the guy on his ass, another is a drop kick kill and my favorite and most frequent kill is a slide between / under the enemy's legs and punch them in the balls while sliding. XD I love killing people by punching them in the balls now. XD I never knew this was a thing the first time I played the game. XD Oh.. and hip firing while running auto targets enemies. This is so much easier my second time playing this. And grenades seem way easier to get kills with now. I'm going to have to try to dick punch people in the other uncharted games next. XD

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I'm about 70% through the first one. The jet skiing up river part really pissed me off with bad design. Actually all the wave runner areas are bad with insane amount of explosive barrels. You'd be better riding on a slow boat and shooting them. The wave runner is pointless because if you try to run through it you'll just die from enemies shooting them as you go by.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I hated that part on the PS3 and I hated it again on the PS4. I just got through the last wave rider part and what a pain in the ass it can be. The last part is impossible to just go thru fast because the three enemies will rip you to shreds with bullets. you have to go slow on the last part and pick them and the barrels off with Elena's gun. The first couple jet ski parts aren't difficult at all considering Elena has an endless grenade gun that explodes everything on impact. XD But then the last ski part is 20x more difficult with the waves and you only have a crappy hand gun. -_-;

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I finished Uncharted 1 tonight. Running while hip firing is so vital in the last 5 or so chapters of the game. I still don't understand stealth in this game. I got only 1 stealth kill ever. I swear every enemy knows my exact location as long as I'm within 20 feet of them. I could be behind a wall, see a guy walk away, start walking slowly behind them and that guy will shout "there he is!", then turn around and shotgun me. eh. Other than that its still a fun game. Those last 5 chapters turns the difficultly up huge tho. I beat it on normal, screw the last quarter of the game on higher difficulties than that. x_x

  17. PSN is having a flash sale this weekend. I just bought the tell tale walking dead micchone game for ps4 for just under $6.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      If its anything like the standard TWD game its not for me. I still need to play through it on steam. A friend let me borrow the Xbox 360 version and after the initial car crash scene and 1st house, I turned it off. The controller was too frustrating for a point and click game.

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Its not for me on a console is what I meant.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I haven't tried it yet but I think it is. It's a bit annoying to move the cursor on the screen fast enough to respond to something. It would be better on pc for that reason alone, but I got used to it pretty quick on ps4. Maybe the speed of the cursor was bugged on the 360 version. I was disappointed these tell tale games didn't take advantage of the touch pad on the ps4 controller. It could easily work like a laptop TouchPad mouse and there isn't a single game on the ps4 that utilizes it like that. 

  18. I watched the first 40 or so episodes of Robotech on netflix over the last few weeks. I thought I saw this back in the day but I must not have. I never watched the original Macross subtitled either so I don't know how much Robotech is butchered in comparison. Honestly tho.. this was a solid series after you get past the first 5 or so episodes. It looks dated to all hell, but the plot has some great sci-fi. The genocide that happens in it in numerous episodes shocked me a bit. If I'd have watched this when I was a kid all other cartoons would have been nothing in comparison. O_O Unfortunately after the main characters leave the show around episode 38 (I think?) the show turned to garbage. I looked at wikipedia and its 3 different series dubbed and jammed into one 85 episode series called Robotech. Apparently the first part is the original Macross anime and that was amazing. But 4 eps into this second series and I can't stand watching it anymore. ehh.

    1. DeathscytheX
    2. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      They pretty much butchered Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada to make this frankenstein of a show coherent enough to follow a plot line (I know most of the story points for each show were left in tact but other then that they had to butcher them to make it coherent enough to follow through three different anime). I can't stomach Robotech, it's an atrocity that should of never been made but thanks to licensing agreements conflicting with each other we got this horror show. Plus I'm a pretty hardcore Macross fan (I've seen every series with the exception of Delta which I have downloaded just haven't had time to watch it yet) so the whole concept of the show rubs me the wrong way. You might have seen it in the past. I know it aired on Toonami's Midnight block with Uncut Gundam Wing back during it's original run so you might of caught some of the later episodes that take place during the Southern Cross or Mospeada arcs (or Robotech Wars 2 and 3 if I remember their nomenclature right).

      Thankfully the original version of Macross got a faithful release over here before ADV imploded (I think Southern Cross did as well but I can't remember for sure) but I don't know if there are any copies in circulation still (but this is definitely the version to watch).

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      The first 38 or so eps that are the butched macross series was so great because of the amount of times I'd laugh at the personal drama between Rick, Minmay and Lisa. Rick was such a dick. XD The best and most savage breakup line I've ever heard was in this anime. It went something like.. "This world is so big, its amazing how much time we've wasted on each other." ROTFLMAO! The look of shock on her face.. Rick is such an asshole. XD

  19. Lmao. I haven't logged into my Uplay account in over a year and the first thing I notice is the friends list... My avatar looks so happy to #1 among my zero friends. XD

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I made this account just because of Watch Dogs on PS4 and some humble bundle over 2 years ago. XD lol. Maybe I should send you a friend request on Uplay so my avatar can be happy about being in last place amongst my 1 friend. XD

  20. My PS3 died today. :( It was one of my favorite consoles of all time and the best bluray player ever. I tried everything to fix it except buy a new power adapter. If I buy a multimeter I can test it to see if thats the issue or not. But I'll probably be better off putting the $30 that would cost towards a newer model refurbished one. I would just get another ps4 for my living room, but I still have a bunch of ps3 games I still want to eventually play.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      You'll never play them. XD

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I left my PS3 on for its entire life. I never used that "off switch" in the back so it was always on low power or what ever it was called. I had a first gen launch day version. It actually got me more money on trade it towards the slew of PS4 games I got on the PS4 launch. thats pretty sad that a first edition was worth more than a newer slim because of the backwards compatibility.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I might not ever play them, but it was the Final Fantasy 13 games. I could pick them up on steam now, but that PS3 was the best bluray player ever because of it's built in dolby digital surround sound decoder. With a bluray movie and my 5.1 speaker set up, that PS3 made my living room sound like a movie theater with massive bass. I think to buy a bluray player with that audio output would cost around $50, so I still think I'll spend the extra $50-$80 more and get a refurbished ps3 instead so I'll get the benefits of auto firmware updates, a 500 gb hard drive and access to all my games again.

  21. My mattress has been killing my back and sides for over a year now. I kept adjusting how I was sleeping, got a mattress pad, etc. Screw this thing. I bought a mattress in a box from walmart.com for cheap. $140. I thought about getting a memory foam one but I read that they trap heat too easily so I went with a Slumber 1 brand coil spring.

    Sure as hell this mattress showed up in a box. It was vacummed sealed in a bag, folded and rolled up. When I broke that plastic seal it inflated so damn fast that it made a whistling noise thru the plastic bag as I was cutting it open. lol. It feels pretty comfortable so far but I have to let it air out for "full recovery" for 48 hours. I'd have rather gotten an expensive really nice beauty rest mattress or something else from a mattress store, but I'm tight on funds. This seems decent enough for now.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I've been sleeping on the same Sealy Posturepedic mattress for almost 20 years now. XD Its actually the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on for me. Anytime I'm in a hotel or another bed, its just not as good. Looking at the prices now they are $1000-1500 X_x I think I'll be keeping mine for as long as it lasts.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I hear that. Really good mattresses are super expensive. x_x A lot of mattress commercials make sense tho. We do spend about 1/3 or 1/4 of our entire lives laying on one, might as well make it a good one.

    3. Strider Hiryu

      Strider Hiryu

      Fuck my old mattress was fucking amazing, sadly it went to hell in about 5 years (I spend a lot of time in my room since it's where everything of mine is located so you can about imagine how much time I spend on my bed (between gaming, watching anime/movies, reading, and up until recently playing games on the laptop)). Only mattress I was able to sleep soundly on (and it was only $500 or so) but I had to get rid of it two years ago because it was really starting to kill my back. My current one isn't bad (I went a little firmer than my old one, still comfy and still a pillow top but it's not the same) but I'd kill to get another mattress like my old one (don't remember what brand it was and we don't have similar mattress places like the one in Arizona where I bought it).

      I'd really love one of those Sealy mattresses but fuck are they expensive. One of these days I'll have one

  22. My router shat out on me today and screwed me for over an hour as I thought it was my internet. -_-; My power went out and after it came back on my router started freaking out and will only stay connected for 5 seconds at a time and then go down again for 4-5 minutes. I hooked up my old back up router in the meantime. Now I have to call up the support line tomorrow and see if Tenda will honor their warranty. I ordered a TP-Link router off amazon a little while ago for a cheap $59 on sale. It seems decent enough and I've never had any issues with TP-Link before.

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Linksys fa life XD My 4 antenna dual 5ghz/2.4ghz beast was worth every penny. I'm sure my neighbors 3 houses down can pick up a medium quality connection on this thing if it wasn't WPA2 locked. XD

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Lol. I've had a linksys router crap out on me. Ever since then I've had no brand loyalty for routers. :P

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      I've had a Belkins and D-Links crap out on me but the only Linksys that died on me got hit by lightning. XD I'll have to give that one a pass. I've never had a TP-Link.

  23. I got my new fridge hooked up over the weekend. Built in water and ice maker is amazing. I never realized how convenient that really is. Thanks goes out to the inlaws and aunt for the amazing gift. :D

    1. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      That's your first? XD I don't know what life is like without it.

    2. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Lol. It's my first. They also bought us our first dishwasher. I'll hook that up this weekend. I've never owned one of those before either. 😛

    3. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      Holy cow, mad conveniences. XD Although diswasher can be hit or miss. Ive had some where you could just rinse stuff off and toss it in. I have had others that you had to make sure you got every spec off each plate or else it would get dried to the bottom of all the cups on the top rack after the water jets blasted it off the plates into the cups. XD

  24. Windows 10 August 2019 update has wrecked my PC. wtf. Random reboots and freezing. It did it a few times over the last week, but yesterday it froze and rebooted 12 times. I had to do a system restore to a week ago, but it didn't uninstall the update. Its already froze once this morning. My laptop isn't having this issue.. just my main PC. The last big windows update did the same garbage but not as bad. I swear my PC finally gets stable just in time for another massive windows update to f*ck it all over again.

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      Last time it was blue screen of death, now I don't even get that so I have no idea what to possibly troubleshoot. Just random freezing and spontaneous rebooting. what the god damn fuck windows.

    2. DeathscytheX

      DeathscytheX

      No problems here other than being an inconvenience when I'm trying to play FFXIV.

      Although the last update jacked up my video card settings and made my screen resolution 800x400 or something real windows 95.

    3. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      I think I found my issue. Some old Dell software was causing a conflict. At least I hope this is finally fixed. -_-;
