Off Topic 2017: December to Remember

Re: Off Topic 2017: Because this isn't overtime

This is why I'm glad that I don't have any TV shows that I "watch". I mostly watch sports and then occasionally I'll watch re-runs of shows.

It's a problem I am fixing today. LOL. I turned on my Xbox and went straight to the One Guide, lol. And I have other shows that I have just pushed to watch on Netflix.

Re: Off Topic 2017: Because this isn't overtime

There are too many TV shows on TV alongside too many games that I am playing. I am like 3 weeks behind on 4 shows I watch and I am not happy with it.

What are the four?

Tomorrow is March 1st.

2017 is flying by.

Can't wait for the Christmas thread to start.


OT: I keep thinking about "giving up" gaming. I haven't really played anything of quality since Christmas and even then it just Battlefield 1 online. I've bought Nioh, Yakuza 0, and Horizon is coming today, but I really don't have the motivation to jump into any of them.

Between the financial investment in the hobby and the time sink of it its becoming harder for me to make it a priority over my other hobbies.

Supergirl, Flash, Arrow and Legends. So there is a pattern here.

I still haven't watched any of Legends.

But I stay current with the other three, especially Flash.

Yea I was current until the crossover episodes. Then the Christmas break happened and I started slacking.

I gave up gaming (minus 1 app game, mostly cause of the OS team we have in it) and I don't entirely miss it. Was never really a fan of most games anyways like shooters and online play stuff. Sports games and GTA were main ones I played. I actually like Nintendo stuff even today. Mario and Zelda games are my fave series. Those are probably only games I miss playing, but can't be spending hundreds of dollars each time a new console comes out, then like $70 each game. I looked at my pile of old games and then realized how much I've spent on games in a short period of time and that really turned me off of playing games in future.

Supergirl, Flash, Arrow and Legends. So there is a pattern here.

Overall I think I watch like 2 CBS show, 2 ABC shows, 2 Fox shows and those 4CW shows. The rest are just sports. And even then,of those 10, about half are just short 30 min shows, so it's really not alot either.

And with shows always taking breaks at random points, I don't think there's even a week where over 80% of shows I watch air new episodes in same week. And with DVRs, it cuts off about 10-20 mins per shows. So not including sports, I watch not even 5 hours of new shows a week.

Re: Off Topic 2017: Because this isn't overtime

February should've have 30 days and 2 months that have 31 get cut down to 30.

But crazy to think that tomorrow is March already!

I've always thought it was crazy that February only got 28 days, and then once every 4 years or whatever, it gets 29.

Why did the creators of the calendar not like February?

If February had 30 days, I wonder which month gets the leap day?

I always wondered why FebRuary has that extra R that isn't pronounced.

Anyone else have a mother-in-law that makes you want to jump off a cliff?

For the future, but...

All the time? No.

With some consistent frequency? Yes.

Does anyone else get random calls (typically they have my area code) from a girl who you swear you're having a conversation with as she's trying to adjust her headset, asks if you can hear her, then continues to try and offer you a free cruise or something?

It's a pretty big scam and it sounds as if you've taken the bait:

It's been all over the news for a couple months now.

LOL I didn't take the bait, I was just wondering if this is a "popular" scam or if I'm the only person who gets it, or if this is the only area. I've had it maybe ten times. After the first time, I hang up the moment I hear "sexy phone voice" (credit Eddie Izzard with that term in Ocean's Twelve) talking again.

But thanks, I only recently have started getting the calls. It's a nice little ploy, but it really can only fool fools.

... Crap!
