Who watches other people play video games?
I've used DoggCatcher for years with no problems.

I watch a lot of movies. Movies are great. I always laugh when they talk about recent movies on the podcast and the conversation is so basic.
Well it's usualy just one person who has seen it while the rest just...
1. Claim how they never have time.
2. Jeff going on his thousanth rant on how he doesn't like going to the theater.
3. Brad who just read the summary online.

Oh man Brad's whole thing about purposefully spoiling things for himself gets me rolling. Like it's such a weak, defeatist way of going through life.
I wanna know how to appreciate movies more but movie buffs are mean so I just stick to superhero movies
There are people like that. I don't mind it until they say the movie isn't as good cuz they already knew what happened. WHO'S FAULT IS THAT

Quarter to three (Tom Chick) has a good movie podcast where they get into movies without sounding like snobs.

I recommend listening to Filmspotting. It's non-pretentious but they are super knowledgeable about film. It's the perfect balance for me.
Most cinephiles are insufferable.
I spoil things for myself before going to see a movie. I then generally tend to really like all the movies I see. I guess it just depends on the person. I don't generally see movies that are predicated on twists or surprises either. So like getting the Star Wars movie or Fast and Furious movie spoiled doesn't really take anything away from it when you probably already knew basically what was gonna happen. Knowing the basic structure of the plot doesn't really detract from stuff like action movies and the like.
I guess I am just more ok with knowing stuff ahead of time sitting back and enjoying the ride. Brad isn't I guess.
Brad for some reason really didn't want to like TFA for some reason. He didn't think it should exist and was probably looking for some sort of confirmation bias about it. Now he's all "its another Star Wars yep" is the extent of his opinion.
Kind of like reading the ending of a game on wiki isnt the same as playing it
yes, as long as it makes you enjoy the movie more, that's fine. everyone has their own thing. i personally prefer not knowing anything major to enjoy something. i'll still watch trailers.
I'll check those out! Isn't Tom Chick the reviewer that likes to give negative scores to generally well received games? That's the only time I've heard his name

does this make netflix the first streaming service with quality wrestling content? (New Japan doesn't have a ps4 app)
I saw it after knowing the twist and still really liked it

Why does GBEast have to do a stream at lunch? Consider your west coast viewers...

They normally do it at lunch time for CST, its your turn for once
GB West don't seem to watch much good TV, either, even though you don't have to leave the house for that.

Is A Link To The Past worth playing before I jump into A Link Between Worlds? Obviously I'll miss a lot of references going straight to ALBW but I'm a little worried I'll get burnt out on the formula/map/etc going back to back

What a strange comment. Not everyone cares about spoilers to the extent that it ruins their enjoyment of things.
You should play ALTTP, and there are enough differences to make it interesting, but you'll probably burn out if you play them back to back. I'd just choose one or the other and play through it, and then sometime down the line play the other. If you haven't gotten ALBW yet play LTTP, otherwise you can probably save it and go back to it after ALBW

I just played through it for the first time with my wife on our Honeymoon. I always saw and liked that game as a kid, but Ocarina was my first Zelda game that I beat, then played all the other ones too. I liked it for what it was, but I played A Link Between Worlds a couple years ago and had a blast with it. The games are different enough, but I liked the open design of ALBW over ALTTP but playing the SNES version on a big TV is far better than the hand cramping tiny 3DS

A concern of mine with the Switch is that there isn't going to be a 2D-style Zelda for a long time.
I've put off playing ALBW for so long and feel once I play Breath of the Wild, i'll never go back to it.
