Good Morning Everyone! How is everybody?
I saw the Lego Movie for the third time yesterday. It’s still awesome. Also, I stared playing Borderlands 2 again. I honestly thought I maxed my guy out, but it turns out i’m only level 55. Wow, I think my character in the first game was better than my current character. Time to go loot hunting!
The almighty Gaben has lied to us about Love and War! It wasn’t a 3-day update, it was a 2-day update!
No matter, since we got a -YOINK- ton of new items, and some older weapons were updated as well.
Complete update list:

Partner Taunts can now be performed with the opposing team

Taunts are no longer equipped in the Action Slot
Pressing the Taunt key in game now brings up the new Taunt Selection menu

To be honest, i don’t like the Sticky Bomb nerf.
It’s taking away one of the best ways Demo can be useful on offence, and it will most likely mess up many competitive strategies

I’m great, RJ!
The Lego was and will always be awesome… sniff My childhood… relives itself…
And speaking of rewatching stuff, as I wait for the hot water to restore itself (and for pretty much the entire night last night), I’m watching RvB.
It’s still hilarious.

I was rewatching NCIS, BUT I forgot I only own season 1, 2, 5, and parts of seasons 7, 8, and 9. which makes me sad, because I’m missing 3, 4, and 6. 
I miss breaking bad. Such a perfect show. I would never want them to bring it back since they already did a great run and bringing it back could only hurt the series. Was anyone else a huge fan?

I wouldn’t call myself a huge fan, but i’ve watched the whole thing.
And it was alright. I would give it 8/10.

Im an easy 10/10. Its super quotable too.
I am still eagerly awaiting the bulletin.
Titanfall is legit. That is all.
> Titanfall is legit. That is all.
Its a pretty good game. Mechanics are spot on and fluid. The game itself just needs more content including a true campaign. I haven’t played titanfall in a while due to watchdogs but I know I will revisit it.

I have to agree with Austin on this one.
Titanfall is a great game, but the lack of content is really the only problem i have with the game.
And that there is no reason to keep playing once you Prestige for the first time, because you don’t get anything from the Prestige levels.
And i know they aren’t called Prestige levels.
It just makes more sense to call them Prestige levels.

> Titanfall is legit. That is all.
I’m waiting to see the titan decals. Hopefully I’ll get a giant goose decal or one that says “Das Goose!” for completing the 50 goosers before they nerfed it. Custom decals like the Blops emblems would be sweet too.

I remember trying to watch that on Netflix once. I loved the first episode, but felt completely board by the 5th and stopped watching.
I was told that around season 4 things got better, but I couldn’t bring myself to watch the next 3 seasons in hopes of the 4th being better.
My wife continued to watch it and really seems to like it.
I just couldn’t get into it.

You don’t even need to go that far before things start getting interesting. My fiancee and I stuck with it past the boring first couple of seasons, and by season 3 we were hooked.

I didn’t even think those seasons or episodes were boring. It was a slow pace to build character but it was so satisfying watching the transformation to me. Me and my roommate loved every second of it and appreciated its original slow pace.

Dude, that blows. I know it’s rough (lost two cats), and a sincerely hope everything works out.
Jade Empire is on sale real cheap.
And Watch_Dogs PC patches that fixes things that should never have been a problem from day one. Ubisoft has made many PC games and they still suck at it, but somehow From Software can get it right with their second PC game ever released.
@DHG Siul- That sucks. Hope it dies peacefully.
> Dude, that blows. I know it’s rough (lost two cats), and a sincerely hope everything works out.
Yeah… Well, the dog, which is also female, is nearly as old as I am. She doesn’t want to eat and has been getting really skinny over the past months.
IDK if its the age or if a rat that she killed the other day happened to be poisoned…

I think the gamer itself is really fun just to play without thinking of ranks. I would love it if they didn’t have a progression system for that game and had a better raining system. That would be a huge bonus.

If it is age, at least she lived a good, long life. If she did eat a rat, then she died knowing she beat the rat. Regardless, we can only live so long before we have to stop. Still, my condolences.
