Holzhauer's new Twitter avatar didn't go unnoticed... :D

Watched the first episode of Good Omens on Amazon. Always liked David Tenant, so far it's good.

Yeah, there's maybe 10-15 minutes between episodes when taping, just enough time to select two new contestants, get their makeup touched up, and allow the defending champion to change clothes. Little time for the winner to reflect on the fact they won. That makes repeat champions all the more impressive, since after winning the first one your nerves can be shot and their might be a slight sense of easing up, so it's easier for one of the new contestants to have the edge that way. Also, most weeks they tape on Tuesday and Wednesday, so a span of 10 episodes can be taped in two days.

successful game show host jobs, how ever corny (think Price Is Right), are highly desirable. They pay a nice steady income and come with LOTS of time off.

I got sick of scrolling back. In a nutshell what was the consensus of the ending of Game of Thrones? I'm searching for something new to get into. Chernobyl sounds good,

There's actually a Game of Thrones thread because we had discussed it so much a few years back. It's marked as Season 6, but continued on as the thread ever since then.

I only know him from Broadchurch but since he was excellent in that I'll have to look for this one.

Tennant is also the villain in Jessica Jones. He can play everything from goofy to serious to being downright horrifying.
 
Re: TV: One Person's Trash...

Typical one hour formula but I tried the first episode of The Inbetween on NBC and I liked it enough to keep watching. It's all about characters for me and the main character in the story is interesting so far.

I am a history buff and seeing events that unfolded years ago viewed through fresh eyes fascinates me. When you look at something like the Cuban Missile Crisis now and learn that one Soviet submariner was all that stood between us and Armageddon... So much of what happened at Chernobyl was cloaked in secrecy and then forgotten when the Iron Curtain fell and the Soviet Union dissolved. I remember well the hysteria of the Cold War in those days. It may not have been as bad as the 60's but it was still tense. No one believed a fallout shelter in the backyard would save you, or that schoolchildren would be safe if we just hid under desks. That didn't stop me from hiding under the couch whenever Walter broke into regular programming with a news bulletin. The nukes were only 26 minutes away... My mother was Civil Preparedness Director for our county and didn't keep uncomfortable truths from us. I was grateful in a weird way that we were near three prime targets and almost certainly would be incinerated in the initial attack rather than surviving to face the hell of nuclear winter.

I thought the series was excellent. The heroics of Soviet engineers, soldiers and the common man was the real point to me. The science and politics were important, of course, but how it effected the everyman - like the woman whose cow was shot (true story) or the "liquidators" who had to kill all the pets (if you listen to the podcast it was even worse than the show depicted) - is what got me. It is a reminder that even in the most dire and inhuman circumstances you will still find glimpses of heroism and humanity.

The fact that the NES Ducktales moon theme is now canon thanks to that series makes me giddy with delight.

F-ck that game with a rusty hatchet. There are only a handful of games that nauseatingly difficult that still have a special place. TMNT '89, Ducktales, Bart vs. the Space Mutants. I'm trying to think of some of the other ones, but those ones were unbeatable without a Game Genie.

Play Cobra Triangle and Battletoads and get back to me.

Or RC Pro Am with the cheating *** yellow truck.

Anything Rare really.

Or any of the 3 Ninja Gaidens. Or the Castlevanias.

Oh yeah, Battletoads. Those pod racer bikes were ****ing horrible. I think my brother and I only got past that level a handful of times.

The three I listed could be as difficult as Battletoads. Though I remember getting further in TMNT than the others. Space Mutants we only got past the first few levels a dozen or so times. Despite owning (and still owning) it.

Ducktales is diifcult? Ducktales is probably the only game I could reliably beat in a single hour or so seating. Don't get me wrong, it's an incredibly fun and well designed game, but still beatable.

Maybe I was confusing it with another game then. It's been a year or two :D
