Topic | When did LEGO become outrageously expensive? |
The_Critic 02/17/21 10:02:01 AM #9 | My gut feeling is also that the average piece size today is much smaller than in 1990. Lots more small connecting bits, fewer big blocks on average. |
Topic | Is being a sovereign citizen not allowed on GameFAQs? |
The_Critic 02/12/21 11:35:55 PM #12 | Being a sovereign citizen on gamefaqs affords all the same benefits it does in real life. |
Topic | nobody names their kid Dick anymore |
The_Critic 02/11/21 4:07:02 PM #5 | Same reason no one is named Bob. Its short for Richard, so you gotta be named Richard and choose to go by Dick. And that takes big dick energy, which is in short supply. |

Topic | BMW lost its way. |
The_Critic 02/07/21 6:08:19 PM #10 | BMW had a ~15 year period of making good cars, roughly 85-2000. E39 M5 was the last great car they made. Good models: 3 series E30 e36 5 series e34 e39 6 series e24 once it got the 3.5l 7 series e32 e38 |

Topic | Countries Ranked by Intelligence |
The_Critic 02/03/21 1:06:00 PM #16 | Seems ridiculous, an IQ of 60 is like unable to really function as an independent adult. Someone with an IQ of 60 could wash dishes if they are being instructed and monitored, probably couldnt live alone and do it themselves, though. |

The_Critic 01/30/21 5:32:38 PM #6 | Anti-vagrancy may be the term youre looking for. |
Topic | I'm gonna get back into Civ 6 |
The_Critic 01/26/21 3:44:18 PM #13 | Japan and Germany are the easiest I find. Japans district bonus is ridiculous. Germanys extra district makes things really easy, and love picking on city states early game. Kupe can be really fun, especially with a terra map, gets a whole continent to himself! but really with heroes and legends and secret societies, there are many more possible builds now. Seems like every country now has some way to get OP. |

Topic | Why does February have to be a monthlet? |
The_Critic 01/26/21 1:39:34 PM #3 | To make it easier to remember which month is the weird one. Put leap years in the super short month. A June leap month would be chaos. |
Topic | Putting a suppressor on a gun does not make it silent |
The_Critic 01/25/21 6:12:39 PM #26 | There are like 4 potentially sounds from a gun, suppressor only addresses 1 of them. you have the explosion, which is what is suppressed. You have the action of the gun, the cartridge ejecting, and the bullet flying. The gun in the video is a 9mm, which is normally a supersonic load. So you are hearing the bullet breaking the speed of sound and the action of the gun in that video. something like a .45, while a bigger round, will get more benefit from a suppressor since most of those rounds are subsonic. |
Topic | Doritos 3D is back for a limited time |
The_Critic 01/25/21 6:03:03 PM #9 | They do taste way too much like bugles. And instead of nacho cheese they have some chili cheese that tastes like the frito flavor. disappointing resurrection. |

Topic | What are some hidden gem movies that I can watch |
The_Critic 01/25/21 5:25:06 PM #24 | How old are you willing to go? I recently caught a classic Charles Bronson flick from the 70s called The Mechanic. It was poorly remade with Jason Statham about a decade ago and thats one you can miss. But the Bronson version just fits together so nice. A few months back I went through a Bogart phase. Casablanca remains superb. African Queen is amazing, the Treasure of the Sierra Madre holds up very well. The Maltese Falcon though, wasnt a fan. |
Topic | California Pizza Kitchen is the best frozen pizza |
The_Critic 01/24/21 12:21:22 AM #36 | I just had an original crust Screamin Sicilian Holy Pepperoni pizza. Coming out of the box box the first thing that is obvious is the overwhelming amount of pepperoni. This pizza takes toppings seriously. Oven preheated and pizza directly on the middle rack, the results were disappointing. On the California Pizza Kitchen, the thin crust leans into the crispy-ness. On the Screamin Sicilian, the classic error of overly done crust occurred. The abundant pepperoni and acceptable sauce and cheese couldnt overcome the hard tack as crust. I did get a second one at the same time so I will do another review with a pan next time. But for now Taste - 7/10 Value - 7/10 - at $5.98 marginally cheaper than the CPK but worst taste but about 33% more pizza. Selection - 6/10 in my store but looks like potentially 9/10 overall. Very meat heavy though. Box art - 10/10 mustachioed mouth looking like its eating the pizza. Love it. overall - second tier za directly on the rack. On a pan will be tried later. |

Topic | The Office is overrated. Prove me wrong |
The_Critic 01/20/21 6:34:43 PM #40 | It is a good show, but typically was the third best show on NBCs Comedy Night Done Right. 30 Rock was better through its run, Parks and Rec after season 2 stomps it, Community seasons 1-3 crushes it, My Name is Earl minus the Billie episodes destroy it. |

Topic | Your reaction: Jiren returns in new episodes of Dragon Ball Super |
The_Critic 01/20/21 6:07:56 PM #25 | Dragon Ball Super is one of the worst pieces of media put out this century. There are no real stakes. Sure, there is an artificial existential threat, but the audience never takes it seriously. Then they just add new forms of powering up and tournaments and call it a show. if you want to watch strong men grunt and yell, watch a shot putter. Dragon Ball Super ratings: Character development - 0/10 Antagonists - 2/10 Training montage - 1/10 New transformations - 3/10 |
Topic | If you put juice in a Brita, will it filter out the sugar? |
The_Critic 01/20/21 12:45:02 PM #8 | If you are asking me, yes. 1 filter can do a couple of gallons of vodka before its shot compared to hundreds of gallons of water |
Topic | If you put juice in a Brita, will it filter out the sugar? |
The_Critic 01/20/21 12:43:35 PM #6 | ive britad vodka before, never juice. With vodka is mellowed out the taste. so drink vodka instead. |
Topic | That coward didn't even pardon Julian Assange or Edward Snowden LOL |
The_Critic 01/20/21 12:42:27 PM #20 | Hexenherz posted... People keep calling him a "whistleblower" - by dictionary definition you might try to claim that point, but from a legal perspective he is objectively in no sense of the term a "whistleblower". He violated many, many laws and there is no legal recourse at this point for him to try to claim protection. Snowden exposed the federal government doing unconstitutional surveillance. He is absolutely a whistleblower. |

Topic | California Pizza Kitchen is the best frozen pizza |
The_Critic 01/18/21 5:46:56 PM #1 | But it is one of the worst names. I have never been to one of the restaurants but its a bad restaurant name too. The Sicilian, Margherita, Four Cheese and Uncured Pepperoni are all top notch. Regularly priced at $6.19 at my local target, I recommend you try one today. Taste - 10/10 Value - 8/10 Selection - 8/10 Name - 2/10 |

Topic | People that don't watch the NBA, why not? |
The_Critic 01/13/21 8:34:57 PM #43 | Too much focus on offense. For about 30 years now the rules have progressively moved to a more offensive style of basketball in the NBA. too much flipping and ticky tack fouls. the rise of the super team also makes it a lot less interesting. Every year there seems to be fewer teams actually competing to win. the players are the best theyve ever been, this is the most talented era to date, the game has just gotten worse. FIBA / Olympics are great. NCAA isnt as good as it used to be but its now better than NBA as it has gotten worse at a slower rate. |
Topic | Talk about your pets! |
The_Critic 01/12/21 3:19:58 PM #28 | Ive got a 85 pound yellow lab / Great Dane mix. He ignores all people food except cheese and spicy Asian food. Cheese gives him erections, spicy Asian food he waits for me to leave alone for a second, eats as fast as he can, and then 2-3 hours later has terrible diarrhea. |
Topic | Whats so bad about Romney? |
The_Critic 01/12/21 11:16:10 AM #9 | If he ran as he was Mass. governor he could have won. But to win the nomination he had to get passed republican primaries, which he needed to move to the right to support. |

Topic | So why would someone be against free healthcare and free college |
The_Critic 01/11/21 1:35:36 PM #24 | Because there is no such thing as free healthcare or college. Someone is paying for it. I support a public healthcare option. If you dont have private insurance, you get Medicare like insurance with payroll deductions. And a tiny (say 1%) flat payroll tax on everyone. My problem with free college is I dont think modern universities try to contain costs at all. Get rid of all the administrative staff, the bajillion sports that every student has to pay for, the arenas, etc. get down to $5k and Id say its in the public interest then. Alternative, Id be interested in subsidizing STEM, medical, teaching. I dont see it in the publics interest to pay for some kids $200,000 communications degree. |
