While the old soundtrack is awesome in the new RE2 it can distract you from hearing the Tyrant’s steps. I played through Leon A with the old soundtrack on, but turned it off for other play throughs.

I’m a little past halfway through. I love it. Not sure exactly where you are, but there’s a part in between all that political intrigue where I found myself thinking, “oh shite! Are we finally about to find out what the frick happened there?” I don’t want to spoil what “there” is, but you’ll know what I’m talking about when you get to it... if you haven’t figured it out through the context of this post.

re: What is your favorite true crime book ?

Posted by thatguy1892 on 11/8/18 at 12:42 pm

Here are some I’ve read recently:
Mindhunter
Green River Running Red
Columbine
Illusion of Justice
The Innocent Man

Out of those Mindhunter is definitely my favorite. I read it before the show came out, so I didn’t jump on the bandwagon. :lol:

re: Best way to read Marvel comics?

Posted by thatguy1892 on 7/17/18 at 3:55 pm

Both above post are good suggestions. One thing to warn you about Marvel comics is they tend to do big crossover events that “changes everything” very often, so make sure to use wiki if you don’t want to follow everything leading up to the event, because it can be a lot.

Get the deluxe edition if your going to get DS3. And no, you don’t have to play the other ones to understand what’s going on. There’s a narrative there but it’s not necessary to enjoy the game. I just finished the Soulborne gauntlet (Bloodborne and DS1-3) from March to a week ago, and it’s some of the most fun I have ever had in gaming.

re: Just finished Shogun-Need help picking next book

Posted by thatguy1892 on 6/13/18 at 3:13 pm

Read Tai-pan. I liked it better than Shogun. Can’t say anything about Gai-jin, because I have not read it yet. I think it’s the longest in the series, which I think what is keeping me away from it. And from what I understand, yes it’s best but not necessary to read them in order.

ETA: Definitely read Lonesome Dove before Tai-pan. Just because Lonesome Dove is fricking awesome!

One of the best he wrote. IIRC it’s his first meeting with Ralph Stedman.

A little off topic, but some coworkers and I were discussing how, “We were somewhere near Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold,” is up there for opening lines with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” in literature. But of course it doesn’t get mentioned enough because Thompson was part of the counterculture, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas isn’t taken seriously.

The man had a way with words, and continued that cynicism that we all love about him all the way up to the end. Titling his suicide letter “Football Season is Over,” is absolutely brilliant. I would love to hear his commentary today.

Sorry for the hijack. Carry on.

Posted by thatguy1892 on 4/19/18 at 2:00 pm

Can’t help you with a map, but I can tell you to look for information on “Tokugawa Shogunate.” That should lead you to a map that can give you information on these locations.

You didn’t. Plus Mel is still at the wall with Shireen. The only way I think Shireen gets burned is if it’s done to bring back Jon. Stains is in a fairly well fortified place with a frozen lake surrounding it, he’s also one of the best strategist left in the seven kingdoms going up against a brute force dumb Frey. He’s not falling anytime soon.

I would say to take anything past season 5 of the show with a grain of salt.
