Every single time Alex plays Mega Man: "I just can't get it together today." I don't think it's a today thing.

I wish I enjoyed House of Leaves as much as pretty much everyone else. A ton of it fell flat to me, between the style-over-substance approach and the blatant Borges references... I'm sure it's a really cool experience if it actually manages to grab you but for some reason it felt like a stitch of other people's ideas.

Maaan I've already made a couple of book purchases since this discussion started. Books are so interesting! I need to read more.

I've actually been meaning to check out some Hunter, too. He has a book about the 1972 presidential election been meaning to check out.
Most of my reading is like historical stuff really, so I enjoy David McCullough's 1776 and John Adams. I made it halfway through this dense ass Stephen Ambrose book about D-Day, etc. I have a book about a failed Norwegian WWII op.

That's how I feel about a lot of stuff in here.
Even if subjects don't interest me, I always like hearing passionate people talking about their interests. It makes me genuinely happy.

Film and Forty's The Room please.
I'm typically a fantasy guy. The Lies of Locke Lamora, Black Company, The First Law, Mistborn, etc. I occasionally browse the Kindle store and just pick random things that sound interesting with Kindle Unlimited. That's how I learned LitRPGs are apparently a thing. They're not very good. I've tried reading a few of them, and each one uses the word "noob" and I cringe right out of there. They usually come off as self-insert power fantasies.

I missed The Lies of Locke Lamora in my list. That's one damn fine book. Sadly I didn't continue with the series, and I do own the second book.

Oh man, I hope vinny watches twin peaks and Alex continues with it. Need more duders to talk peaks. Best show of 1990-91 and best show of 2017.

Red Seas gets a lot of hate, at least compared to Lies, but I still really enjoyed it. I haven't read Republic, though. It's tough to stay interested when there's such a long wait in between books. Not everyone can be Brandon Sanderson, I suppose.

Listening to the beastcast, did I hear wrong or did Dan say he has a jacket in splatoon that's from Drive?
I listened to the whole thing but I think I only watched 2 boss fights and like 3 parts of the stages.

I also enjoyed the Beast book and film podcast.
If you wanted to see the movies spoiled you probably would have seen them already. Snowpiercer's okay, it's a cool movie but outside of Tilda the performances are lacklustre.

yeah, I honestly wouldn't give two shits about Split had I not known the twist
This Blue Bombin' stream has been one of the best streams lately, super chill just chatting about movies and books.
It's what I miss about UPF in which they usually just look up a random game, play it for 15 minutes which they won't even like most of the time. Would prefer if they just played games they like to play and talk about it.
Also we need a Film and 40's The Room.

Thank god I saw Split a few months ago. That was a good movie despite the twist to be honest, the twist only made the movie better because initially I found it
. The twist just made everything make sense. That moment when the first few notes of that theme played maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
That he is.
Now's the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of York

Yes, we need more people talking about Twin Peaks.
