Am I the only one that thought season 3 of Ozarks was terrible? One episode is Marty sitting in a mexican dungeon with flashbacks to him playing video games. Another is the bitch wife going on a road trip with her autistic brother. Boring. I was hoping for more murder and mayhem and it has turned into a ****ed up version of Family Ties.

Just finished Ozarks, watching West World now.
Watched the entire run of TWD... still love it.
Watched both seasons of Altered Carbon... awesome series
Bought some plants and getting ready to put them in the ground in the next few days.

Picked up a 240amp J2Fab alt to put in the Marauder and gonna rewire her so the alt controls the voltage and turn off the computer controlled voltage regulation. Too much catching up I'm noticing with the voltage readings. I have more amperage drain then the 170 amp PA Alt can handle comfortably. I'm thinking of going to a glass 14volt marine battery. I did that before for about 2 yrs and have no idea why I went back to 12volt. Damn brain...

I'm just thinking, and I may be wrong, but wouldn't that be a bad idea considering the computer modules require a specific voltage range to operate in? If you take it out of their control then it may make then fault, but with how you are setting it up maybe it is fine. I just know I get dozens of cars that come in for simple voltage issues but it looks like worse because the modules are all throwing codes left and right because they can't operate as intended. Having a slightly older car does help against this however.

Only game I have been able to get into is Destiny 1/2. Lost of guns, swords etc etc. I have over 5000 wasted hours of my life on that game. My wife even plays with me in the Livingroom while I'm in my manland. I love exploring outside the map as well. Quick clip of a Gambit match where I go over and put up a Titan Bubble so they the opposition can not do damage to their Primaval.

Watched 1917, I liked what I saw but wished there was more. Couple of other movies I’d like to watch are: the professor and the madman, bone tomahawk, Ford vs Ferrari, and one other that I can’t remember at the moment. I rarely watch tv unless it’s a movie I like. Games, I’ve been debating on getting Red Dead 2.


Pick your poison.
I watched this last night and it was amazing. The movie is shot to appear as one continuous scene. I was looking to see where they stitched shots and it was hard to spot. One obvious transition was when the main character fell down the stair and woke up in the dark. But besides that I really could not see how they stitched them. Looks like they used a handheld and it would be very difficult to trace your steps and angles 100% to match scenes.

Fallout 4.
Toying with the idea of going rogue and killing almost everyone.

Destiny 2 is an underappreciated game sometimes receiving a bad rap.
Ehhhhhh, had a blast in D1 played like a total of 5 hours in 2 over Xbox and PC combined. Might have to try it again. Didnt like the changes they made w weapon classes in MP.

Don’t get the wrong idea. I liked the movie a lot I just wish it was longer than 2 hours. A lot of really good actors in it and the portrayal of the war was spot on.

The movie plays tricks with your mind. Most of it is in real time and it feels like a lot more happened than is possible in 2 hours! The only jump in time I believe is where he is knocked out on the stair. That sequence where he jumps off the bridge is unreal! Goes from waterfalls and rapids to calm water and dead bodies all in one continuous scene without any camera cuts. That is very difficult to achieve. No wonder it won an Academy Award for Cinematography, Visual Effects and Sound Mixing!

I agree they captured the trenches and mood really well. It matches interviews of WW1 soldiers included in this documentary that also included colorized original footage. You could tell the soldiers realized the whole war was pointless and the public did not really care what they went through. The vermin that were responsible for WW1 and WW2 were never really brought to justice imo. But it is never too late. After all they did have descendants...

Watched “The Hustle” the other night with my wife. Funny as hell! We watch a lot of Dinosaur Train and Dino Dana as my little one loves dinosaurs which makes me happy.

Division 2 had run its course for me at the moment. Got 30 minutes into Red Dead Redemption 2 (on Xbox Game Pass right now) and immediately remembered why I hate Rockstar games. The controls, the movement, the pacing, the menus, everything. The last one I enjoyed was GTA: VC on PS2. Haven’t liked one since.

Might give Outer Worlds a try. Maybe finally get around to playing Far Cry: New Dawn.

Narcos is a series I haven’t touched yet. I’ve always just assumed I wouldn’t like it.

But, I’m the same guy who put off Breaking Bad until last summer for the same reason...

The first season of Narcos is great! I haven't seen the follow on seasons so I can't say.

I have just watched a brief sixteen minute 1970's training film from Anheuser Bush on how to store and serve beer. Quite enlightening.
