  1. Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 2018)

    Based on the trailer alone, I'm not interested. But I'm ready to be surprised.
  2. Football Season 2017-18

    Please come to St James' this Sunday and be consistent, so that we can at least salvage a vague sense of pride out of our inevitable defeat.
  3. Job woes/wins

    Parent-Teacher conferences today at work. Co-teacher tells me she has the flu, says "should I come in?" "No Because I'll be sitting next to you all day. You could also infect the parents and the kids" School management says "Yes! Come to work, it's an important day!" I swear, if I get sick, there's going to be serious, serious trouble.
  4. bad stuff thread.

    Stay safe, bro.
  5. Nintendo Event - TONIGHT 10pm

    Or a porn simulator called "Labiia". It would sell millions. Soggy cardboard, though.
  6. I AM BACK

    Miss me? Multiple password reset requests never turned up, now suddenly it works and I am teh baxorz! Thanks to S.C.G. for messaging me!
  7. I AM BACK

    Darling, you know it's the real me.
  8. Heroes Never Die!

    Happy birthday, Flink!
  9. I AM BACK

    Better than sixed mignals. Those things leave a stain. Boy was it! We saw the NBA Summer League - got to meet Satnam Singh, first ever Indian-born player drafted; we saw Lonzo Ball play... ball; went to the Neon Museum for the second time, enjoyed it again; total win was around +$1500 on the 10 days, but it got reduced severely by the people at Bellagio forcing us to upgrade because our room was unavailable; saw MJ Live! which was 100x better than I expected it to be -guy had surgery to look like Michael Jackson - production values were good; ate a lot of buffets; won $75 letting it ride on a $1 Blackjack stake; two pulls of a $1 slot saw me come up $100; haemorrhaged money at the auto-roulette, but I was betting absolutely hammered most of the time. So much more... great times.
  10. Skyrim (2017)

    As a long time TES fan, the voice acting is a huge improvement over the jarring conversations in Oblivion, but it limits conversations severely when compared to Morrowind. I love the radiant quests though. As far as directional arrows go... never been a huge fan. I mean, it's good that you don't spend every waking hour searching all the nooks and crannies in a dungeon to find the one item you need, but at the same time, there's too much hand-holding. I'll play this again after I'm done replaying BOTW for the third play through.
  11. I AM BACK

    Slightly to the left, and a little droopy. Marginal. But I'm treating it worse. Oh, the adventures! Had I already gone to Vegas for the third time before I disappeared? Thanks. For. Reminding. Me. Country is getting worse every day. Mrs Iun is behaving a little better though.
  12. Tom Bosley Dies

    RIP a very fun man and a thoroughly watchable actor, most recognised for Happy Days but I will always remember him in the Father Dowling Mysteries.
  13. Oh Danny Boy....

    Happy Birthday to my sometime antagonist/occasional sounding board/baffling lover of the Matrix films and StarFox Adventures.... Danny Boy The Dane! EDIT: Just seen the other thread, that had a nonsense title. You can go ahead and lock this, or we can bash the Matrix Trilogy and SFA?
  14. Gotham

    I wouldn't say it "got better" but it got... less worse? The highlights are Cameron Murnaghan as "Definitely Not The Joker" and Ed Nygma's transition into The Riddler. What I like about Gotham is that it's really easy to understand, so Mrs Iun can watch it without me having to pause and explain complex plot points. But yeah, the acting is atrocious, they're basically recycling the same plots over again and the third season lacked a "Good" big bad.
  15. bad stuff thread.

    That's very sad. Mash-po-tay, Mash-po-tay, Mash-po-taaaaaaaay.

    Gap... OoS gapscan... These are words. But I do not understand them.
  17. Teaching in Japan

    Well, I hit China in 2007 with about 2k in my pocket and it was barely enough to get me going. I imagine 10 years later, Japan would be tough. I can recommend these guys, as they found me my first job: http://www.footprintsrecruiting.com/
  18. bad stuff thread.

    You shush. That's what you do. Shush.
  19. bad stuff thread.

    Yeah, I'm fine now. The puking and dizziness were awful, but I still went to work Monday. Like a boss.
  20. bad stuff thread.

    Took a spill playing football yesterday, hit the ground with the back of my head first. Concussion.
  21. Job woes/wins

    I was offered the Head of Primary role... in our Wenzhou campus. Sigh. It's about 900 km from where I am now. So had to refuse. Still, nice to be thought of in that way.
  22. Job woes/wins

    Don't get me started. I applied for a position at another campus, same group. But my campus refuses to let me go, even though they know I am looking to further my career with a promotion. I basically offered to resign and apply for the other job, but they implied that if I did that, I would remain unemployed.
  23. Bill Paxton dies aged 61

    You know what I said about seeing a bright light when you're dyin'? ... t'ain't true, I can't see a damn thing... RIP The first actor to be killed by a terminator, an alien and a predator.
