TV Discussion Fisto's Disco: The LACWAC Social Thread

All this talk of Frozen makes me think of this:

On a completely unrelated note, I only just saw the cinematic trailer for Blizzard Entertainment's new "Heroes of the Storm". One thing I love about Blizzard is their ability to make some really high-quality trailers, many of which look gorgeous regardless of what you think of the actual game. The whole team brawling reminds me of the time that I would play Defense of the Ancients (DotA) online with college buddies in the dorms. Ha, those were some fun times. Although I haven't played it in years, having lost interest. However, seeing this trailer does make me consider wanting to play this kind of game again.


WANT.

 

Cool (no pun intended). We're taking the kids to see Frozen later today.

Regarding Christmas trees, ours has been "alive" for years.

 

Just helped my sister and her boyfriend move out their apartment.

They're both about 120 pounds. They weren't much help.

 

Frozen is fantastic, one of my favorite movies of the year. The animation's gorgeous, the narrative takes risks, and the songs are amazing, especially Idina Menzel's "Let It Go".

 

Yup, Frozen was great... we all really enjoyed it.

 

I'm pretty sure his last two or three films were each supposed to be "the final film directed by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki." Maybe he means it this time, though, and it should be good regardless.

 

Paul Walker (fast & the furious series) is dead. Ironically in a high speed car crash.

R.I.P.

 

R.I.P. Paul Walker, one of my favourite actors, he was amazing in the Fast & Furious films. I just can't believe it, that's the worst news I've heard in a while. I wonder what's going to happen with Fast & Furious 7 now, I hope they put it in memory of him.

 

Too fast, too furious.

 

That is very unfortunate. RIP Paul Walker.

I'm still playing GTA5 on and off and was having a big of fun with the AI engine. I have found about 5 spawn points for Mountain Lions and was playing around with how dumb the AI engine is. There is this one rock where a mountain lion will stand frozen until its approached a certain way really close. I can walk right behind it insanely close it won't react until targeted as if it has eyes in back of its head but is deaf. They have a hard time getting around objects which is hilarious, like a car in the way and will eventually get stuck. I'm disappointed they never seem to spawn when Chop is in tow.

And Nat Geo's big cat week rocks. Game of Lions is on tonight.

 

So, I've not been reading comics like I once was aside from finally getting around to reading some Star Wars (particularly the 2013 "Star Wars" comic).

Mostly was getting burned out on Superman, still love him, just needed to introduce some variety. Especially after Man of Steel, which despite wanting so, so much to love, I can only bring myself to see it as OK.

But then I watch Superman vs. The Elite on Netflix last night. The one animated Superman film I really dragged my feet on watching because the synopsis sounded the least interesting, but that turned out to be one of my favorite DC animated depictions of the character. My favorite depictions often consist of seeing Superman fail and how he deals with that, or moral issues regarding having the power to fix wrongs in the world, but not wanting to view himself as being above the law.

I felt Superman vs. The Elite nailed it.

 

My favorite film of his has to be Porco Rosso. I love airplanes, and mixing dogfights and pirates into the mix was awesome. Plus it has Cary Elwes putting on his silly texan accent on.

 

Amazon is apparently readying a drone delivery service, on target for 2015. Not going to lie, but I'd pay so much money to see a drone arrive at my house and give me a book or something.

Part of me's thinking "AWESOME!!", but at the same time I can't help thinking that if they open this up to everyone and anyone, we're eventually going to have a sky filled with these little buggers.

 

Sounds like it would make it pretty easy for an inventive troublemaker to steal packages...

 

Add to that the fact that the Martin Jetpack is coming out, Evolo in Germany is developing their ultra safe easy to fly electric multicopter, Moller has apparently copped $80 million in funding which might just take them from "30 year running joke" to "actual working selling product", and the US military is funding the development of aeroscraft, enormous hybrid airships with on-board buoyancy control and major scalability (potential Emma Maersk sized models with thousands of tons payload proposed), and take it all a couple decades forward and hey, before you know it Earth's skies could resemble those of Coruscant.

 

YIKES!!! Good luck!!!!

 

OMG AMAZON IS GOING TO DRONE STRIKE MY HOUSE. THEIR DELIVERY SYSTEM IS SO ACCURATE THEY CAN PUT A BOOK THROUGH YOUR WINDOW.

AMAZON, **** YEAH! COMING AGAIN TO DELIVER YOUR MOTHA ******* PACKAGE, YEAH!

AMAZON, **** YEAH! Drone delivery is the only way, yeah!

USPS YOUR GAME IS THROUGH CAUSE NOW YOU HAVE TO ANSWER TO

AMAZON, **** YEAH!

It's the dream that we all share, it's the hope for tomorrooooooow. **** YEAH!

Books! **** YEAH! Movies! **** YEAH! Video games! **** YEAH! Music! **** YEAH! Electronics! **** YEAH! Groceries! **** YEAH! Jewelry! **** YEAH!


No, for reals this sounds cool. What do I care if the skies are cluttered? I'm not really a huge fan of empty skies. If what Valk said is true I can't wait to surf the clouds like Kit Cloudkicker.

 

Seconded.

 

Guys, I had a chat with Tracy's doc, he told me she wouldn't get a scratch. I got his promise. Then he called me a pirate and told me to get going.
