Started watching that OJ documentary they talked about. Utterly fantastic so far.
It does a really good job of painting a picture of the entire social landscape at the time, to understand OJ's influence and standing at the time - very handy to non-US viewers.

So, since Dan and Jeff are always talking about hooking their PC up to a TV I went and did that. Friend stored his new big screen at my place so I thought "Might as well try that thing and see why everybody wants to do that".
I feel like my eyes are bad? Cause it's really hard for me to read stuff on it? I tried to play Overwatch but had a hard time seeing the enemies and felt kinda overwhelmed the entire time. I just felt like I can't see anything since suddenly my "monitor" is much farther away. I know my eyes can't be that bad since I've been at an ophthalmologist like 5 months ago. I know everybody loves that phrase but....is that just me?

Could someone point me to the video where Luke Smith talked about Destiny at some point in 2015? I think it was during E3 last year during an after-hours show?
it doesn't feel right to me on keyboard/mouse games.
Controller games are fine for me typically

That's it. Thanks a lot.

I'd imagine with keyboard/mouse games, the input lag on a bigger TV would make it feel awkward compared to a monitor.
I plan on building a PC soon and hooking it up to my TV, but there's no genre I like that requires m/kb anyway and I have a monitor I use for fight games so I can just switch it to that if need be.

He should have tried buzzcut Dan first, most people look pretty good with a buzzcut.

Speaking of bald Dan - I must have missed the video/podcast bit where he's talked about it. What was the reason for such a drastic hair manoeuvre? Anything in particular or did he just fancy getting a scalp tan this summer?
Haha that You Bloody Ripper achievement.
He hasn`t talked about it specifically, but probably because he`s going bald. He commented a picture on Twitter from E3 of him, Vinny and Brad where you could see the bald spot on the top of his head, and a few days later he had shaved it all off.

Ah, fair enough. As someone that made the chop thanks to chemo ravaging my luscious locks, I can sympathise with his plight. On the plus side, you save a fortune on shampoo/conditioner!
Except for Britain he actually did okay.
It`s weird how much people fixate on how others should know where every country in Europe is when I`m guessing the majority of both Europeans and Americans can`t find more than a few African countries on a map, and don`t know where Asian countries outside of the big ones are located.
Well now he still thinks Zika has something to do with killer bees.
And if people want to know where more countries are maybe they should have had a world map as a shower curtain like I did.

Didn't Dan have a procedure done? On the latest mailbag he has a bandage on the back of his head.
And, in all honesty, there's no point learning Britain's geography right now...
That`s true. Scotland will be gone in a few years now.
He said on UPF that he didn`t notice that until he shaved his head.

So this is random but it's one of those "maybe someone in the community can help" things.
Found two dead mice in my car, stunk up the entire system something fierce. Cleaned the hell out of it, replaced the cabin air filters, put a odor bomb in. First day was great. Check it out this morning, I can see evidence of another mouse trying to set up shop in there. Bedding and pee spots.
What do I have to do to keep the mice out? I'm gonna be putting sticky traps in it tonight.

Yeah, might be. It's super hot here so I have a fan pointed right at me.
I tried a couple of "gamepad" games and they felt okay. I still prefer playing on my regular monitor though.
Where is the UPF download?
Didn`t get it on the site before the weekend because of some issues, so it`s only raw streaming version that`s on the site now. I expect Drew will upload the proper downloadable version today.
Same. I think it looks dumb. The bad dumb.

We need an argument that film studies major isn't the same as intelligent?

This map thing reminds me of those shows where they ask people to put a little flag on a map and people put like Germany on Spain and Turkey on Poland. Though to be fair, ask me where basically any US state except Texas, Nevada, California and Florida is and I'm probably totally lost as well.

Oh come on, New York is weirdly shaped enough to pick out on a map.
There's a New Zealand??

jeff's twitter last night is really making me hope we get a spoiler talk of inside on this weeks bombcast.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I'd probably be able to name a few more than the once I wrote, those were just the first that I could think off
Whether it's official or not Brad will make sure it's a spoilercast.
Speaking of podcasts, whatever happened to them doing video of the bombcast?

I know it's not fair to complain that an american doesn't know Europe, but oh my god, Dan thinking Denmark is "Amsterdam" and the same as Holland is killing me.

I doubt the average American would know this either.

I really wish Austin could be there if they do one as his interpretation lines up with mine (at least based on the few tweets he made after completing it) and I'd love to hear him expand on it.
Holy shit. I think I figured out how to solve the worlds water problems.
Give Johnny V a pepper and collect his sweat. That was insane! lol
