As a history major nerd, I'm curious, which book are you referring to?

Don't know what book he is referring to but I highly recommend Stalingrad by Anthony beever and also the hardcore history podcast series called ghosts of the ostfront.

Having seen a couple of episodes recently I can say that Scrubs has aged very poorly. The musical episode was pretty good though. I'm a sucker for that poo poo. The Nightman Cometh in It's always sunny is one of the greatest TV highlights for me.

Video games are terrible. I lost the last week playing Yakuza 0 and have nothing to show for it.

I did make a chicken the real estate manager of a brothel though so I guess it was worth it.

Y'all quit talking about dumb lovely games and instead go play Yakuza 0, where you can shove lit firecrackers in a dude's mouth then go do some disco with a Michael Jackson ripoff

And afterwards you can start a real estate empire and make a chicken the manager of a stripclub.

Yakuza 0 is the best.

People that think the NES is a bad console are wrong and also probably young.

Mega Man 2 is one of the best games ever made.

Don't those stupid lasers return in a Wily level but much harder? gently caress those goddamn lasers.

The lasers also came back in Mega Man X-5 with the big difference being that if you get close to the wall you stick to it making that level a special kind of nightmare.

What the gently caress is a Suriname

Dutch person reporting in. Suriname is the country that the Dutch acquired along with the island of Run by trading what would eventually become New York City to the British.

Just a great deal all-round.

I'm thinking about getting a convertible standing desk for work

I can't deal with sitting all day anymore and I feel like a standing desk fits with the 30 year old deadlifting IT guy mystique

Do it. Standing desks are great. It really reduced my backpain at work since I used to sit basically 8 hours a day. It also made me more productive and less tired at the end of the day.

Standing is awesome.

I would start an internet forum and charge people like, I don't know, 10 bucks to post on it. Give it one of those names that has letters missing that Sillicon Valley VC's love. Call it Somethng Awfl or some poo poo. Sit back and watch the money poor into my bank account.

I would run an oldtimey movie theater where tickets are reasonably priced and the popcorn is delicious. Also no movie would ever be shown in 3-D, just glorious 2-D projection.

It would go out of business almost immediately though, but a man can dream.

Third season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has a Redskins name change storylie and a Mark Davis character and its all amazing.

I was surprised they got to use the Redskins name and the Snyder family name in the show. I guess it's a parody but they do touch on the race issue a bit.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a great show and you should watch it.

Speaking of food. A lot of American fast food chains are expanding to Europe in a pretty aggressive way. In the Netherlands, where I live, we'll get a Pizza Hut, TGI Friday's, Five Guys, Taco Bell and Dunkin' Donuts in the next 6 months.

I've never been to any of those places. What's the best one? Or the least worst?

Hercules in New York is an underrated Arnold movie. This was a super young Arnold who could barely speak English and has to "act" his way through a gorilla wrestling scene.

His delivery on the "I'm tired of the same old faces" line is peak bad Arnold.
