I wouldn't say they're similar to Blue, but Everything Will be Alright in the End and White Album are both fantastic. I like most of their stuff though. Even Raditude and Hurley have a couple good tracks.

Probably my favorite Moe moment (sorry for the bad quality).

First 3D movie I've seen in probably a decade, and it was definitely worth it. I also don't think I'd watch it again or enjoy it as much at home, but the theater experience was great. My showing was also in Higher Frame Rate, which was interesting.

This is the first time I don't even know a character. I must have stopped watching before Shauna Chalmers was introduced.

Also, it would be great if Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure ended up against each other at some point. I think I'd vote for Hutz, but barely.

Only the first season was good

Joke opinion.

will the animation actually be good? I could have sworn there was another junji anime but it was bad animation?

My standards aren't high, so I'll let you be the judge.

Set for January 19th, so I assume it'll be up tonight at midnight. 12 episodes adapting 20 of his stories. I've only read very little of his work so far, but I love his style. Can't wait to check out the show.

No, but I have a Brita filter pitcher. When I lived in Portland tap water was fine, but Vancouver (WA) tap water has a funny taste.

I dont know that they are actually discontinued but Creme Savers are basically impossible to find anywhere.

I bought a case of the Strawberries n Cream off of Amazon awhile back.

Pepsi Twist (Pepsi with lemon).
Crunch Bar with Caramel.

Not my type of music, even if I did hear the rest of the song, but I'm almost positive that's just an opening thing they're doing and the actual music is about to start as it cuts off.

I wouldn't call myself an indie rock fan, but I do really like an indie rock band called the Weakerthans:

Love The Weakerthans. Left and Leaving is a fantastic album (and song).

So Mando says a Mandalorian has to know how to navigate the galaxy. Is that where "This is the way" originated on Mandalore? Just giving directions. >_>

In-unit washer/dryer. Last time I had to look for an apartment, that was a must.

Just make a box of Kraft and fancy it up. I make it normal, then add a handful of shredded cheese (the Mexican Style Blend my grocery store sells), then a little garlic salt and some oregano. You could do some bread crumbs too if you want the crunch. Delicious and easy.

Would you say it's better than Encanto?

It's hard to compare, really. I think Puss in Boots was definitely funnier, though.

Ren & Stimpy, but Rugrats isn't far behind. Doug is straight garbage.

Season 1 has more jokes, and they don't always land, but it gets more serious as it goes on. Still has lighthearted moments, but sometimes it felt like I was straight up watching Star Trek.

Kinda makes me think of Far Side.

Have you played Cursed to Golf? It's a 2D roguelike golf game, so doesn't really play like an actual golf game, but I thought it was pretty fun.

My favorite movie, Stranger Than Fiction.

It costs $5k to do the star wars stuff at Disney?

Lol

I think that's for the whole 2 or 3 night experience in their fancy galactic cruiser hotel with meals. Still ludicrous though.

Or possibly it's not a plot hole and it really doesn't matter at all how much each plate costs?

Space. I never watched much of the post-Zordon era, but RPM is also fantastic.

Can't beat those hips and that snarky attitude.

Like some other people have said, if you want a Mario Party, skip Super and just get Superstars.

Mario Golf is pretty good if you're into that.

Rugrats probably doesn't hold up well as an adult, but Hey Arnold was always garbage, so I voted Rugrats.

How would Krillin know if it smelled anyway?

I tend to go back and forth between Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper's.

That decision single handedly made it the worst post-Super Circuit MK.

Was gonna say Endgame, but Frozen is a good choice too.

I meant in terms of a basic premise of you have to kill a loved one to save everyone.

Ah, yeah, fair enough.

Hayame_Zero posted...

It looks and sounds nothing like it besides being at a cabin in the woods. If anything, it sounds more like The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

This is the second time I've seen someone mention this comparison and I don't see it at all. Sacred Deer was essentially a revenge plot by someone who knew the protagonist. This seems to be strangers who have nothing to do with this particular family.

Gremlins or Christmas Vacation.

Damn, I wish I saw the post prior to you going. I go to universal for a conference every year in June. I always spend 7 days at the royal pacific and spend 4 days at the parks.
I'm guessing volcano bay wasn't an option because it was so cold but if you get a chance it's so much fun to spend a day there

Yeah, Volcano Bay was closed, I believe. We also skipped a couple water rides we otherwise would have gone on. But we're probably going to Universal Hollywood sometime in Spring anyway, after Super Nintendo World opens, so no big loss.

Universal has da most fun non scary rides tbh

Lol, that actually reminds me. When we were in line for The Mummy, there was a mother and two young kids in front of us who asked if it was a roller coaster. I told her not really, at least not that intense. But I had completely misremembered how tame I thought it was. Not that it's really that bad, but for a young kid, could be tough. I felt so bad after the ride. >_>

Hagrid's is always delayed, fun ride but it's never been known for smooth operation even on good days. Velocicoaster on the other hand I had only seen closed for rain, it's not nearly as complex as Hagrid's is so usually doesn't have issues.

Yeah, I'm not sure what was up with Velocicoaster, but a lot of people left the line during the delay, so I wasn't complaining.

I made a topic last week asking for advice on my vacation, specifically my day at both Universal parks in Orlando, so I figured I'd share how it went for anyone who cares.

Everything actually went super smoothly, even without Express passes. We made sure to get there before open so we could just walk in as soon as we could. We originally planned to do Hagrid's motorbike ride and Velocicoaster first since they're the busiest, but they were delayed in opening due to the cold weather (wasn't really that cold (high 30s), but for Florida it was), so we hit some other stuff first. Pretty much the whole day nothing was a super long wait. We knocked out three rides in the first hour.

Rode the train over to the other park, hit a few more rides and grabbed lunch, then back to Islands of Adventure. We lucked out, because as soon as we got back, we saw Hagrid had opened. Hopped in line and only had to wait 30-40 minutes. After that we hit Velocicoaster, which took around an hour, but only because it broke down for 20-30 minutes while we were in line.

That was the last ride we really wanted to hit (the GF would have done the Hulk coaster, but it was closed and didn't seem to be opening up today at all) so we called it an early day. Would have probably done some repeat rides, but we were pretty beat after having done the last 3 days at Disney (plus the next two upcoming).

I was really glad we didn't waste a bunch of money on the Express passes. Between Hagrid and Velocicoaster, which were the two big new rides since last time we went, I preferred Hagrid. But that's mostly because I don't usually do more intense coasters, especially all the inversions that Velocicoaster has. I'm still glad I tried it, but I'm not sure I'd do it again.

Look into low/no down payment programs through different banks. That's what I did through Key Bank. No down payment, and part of the purchase included asking the sellers to cover closing costs, which they did. All in all, I had to put down like $1,000 in earnest money to show I was serious about the offer, as well as pay for the home inspection and appraisal. I think altogether I paid about $2,000 to get in.

And somehow I don't have PMI, but I'm not sure why and I've always been scared to ask in case it was a mistake. >_>

If you're on vacation and you stay at one of the 3 hotels they give you a free Express pass for the duration of your stay. So if you check in the 27th and check out the 28th you'd each get complimentary express passes for those 2 days.

We're doing Disney as well, and that's the more major part of our stay (5 days in the parks), so we already have a Disney hotel booked. Probably could have given the trip a little more thought given the holidays, but at least we'll be better prepared next time.

Agreed. Its an awful ride. I got to walk right in and still felt like it was a waste of time, and I enjoy all the movies. It would definitely be a skip for me.

Agree with Gringotts not being worth the wait. Its fine, but nothing special. Velociraptor and Hagrid are. The Hulk ride is another standout for me.

I'm debating on the Hulk coaster. It was closed last time we went, but it also might be too intense for me. Even Velocicoaster might be pushing that aspect, but I'm more interested in that one.

And thanks for all the helpful answers, everyone. I'll try to hit all the rides I want to, but if I can't hit them all, oh well. We'll probably go to Universal Hollywood in Spring anyway for Nintendo World.

For the most part, yes.

How's the Fast and Furious ride? It's new since last time we visited, and while I enjoy the movies (the ones I've seen so far), I'm not like a super fan or anything.

Going to any theme park between Christmas and New Years is going to be packed to the gills. If you must do anything then definitely do Velocicoaster and Hagrid's first because those are going to fill up the fastest. If you can get those done early then you can visit the other parts of the park and possibly see more.

That's what I was thinking, just looking at wait times right now Hagrid's is the longest, then Velocicoaster and Escape from Gringotts. Nothing else is too bad, but obviously it'll be much worse next week.

Cuticrusader09 posted...

The parks are going to hit capacity that day.

The most popular rides will have waits between 2 and 4 hours most likely. You arent going to be able to ride much. Bring your own food or you will waste tons of time getting food. Get to the park 45 minutes before opening. If you are not staying at their hotels, you will also get in to lines already existing line because hotel guests get in early.

Do you think it'll be like that the whole week? We could switch our tickets to Tuesday the 20th, but that's when we fly in. Flight doesn't land until 8:30, so with travel time we may not get to the park until 10-11, and the park closes at 8 (9 for Islands of Adventure), as opposed to 10 on Christmas Eve. I figure since we'd be able to arrive before opening on Christmas Eve, and stay later, we're probably better off sticking to that day.

Lol, it ain't gonna be $80. They trick you by making you think it's reasonable but when you put it in your cart it'll be like $300.

I spent $1000 for 2 tix and 2 express passes for one day this summer. Insane, but still worth it to ride every ride. Otherwise you'll be in line for hours.

Lol, yeah, I realized that when I looked deeper into it. I can deal with long lines, it's mostly just fear of missing out. I'll have to just make a priority list to make sure we hit the rides we really want to.

The_Yahtz09 posted...

GF and I went in October. We did two parks over two days and didnt get express pass. I dont think we really needed it. We did all the stuff we wanted to do and hit most of the rides, including all of the big ones.

If you are doing both parks on one day, you need to look up what rides/attractions you want to make sure you hit. Some have huge lines no matter what time of day (talking 2+ hours) and we saw plenty of long express pass lines too. I dont think one day is enough to do everything in both parks on a packed day, but maybe express pass makes the difference.

Yeah, I've been looking at the rides a bit. We'll definitely want to do the Harry Potter ones and the Jurassic Park ones, and those will all probably be really busy. I like The Simpsons Ride, but I've done it a couple times and the line was always super long, so I might skip it if we don't have time.

Express pass is a must especially on Christmas.
I went back in august of 2018 and that was packed.

Damn, not super unexpected but I was hoping not to shell out that extra. I also just checked again and the $80 was for one park, $100 for both.
