• After Xmas

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Mon Dec 16 11:16:55 2024
    We tried to get my in-laws to come out from England for the holiday this
    year, but they were unable to get time off of work. My wife and daughter decided to go to England the week after Christmas. I'm unable to go, I
    have a lot of uncertainty at work and we may be all-hands-on-deck after
    the holiday.

    That means I have a week alone - what to do, what to do?

    I recommend binge-watching (or re-watching) either Breaking Bad or The Sopranos. Or both.

    I'd never heard of Breaking Bad until I saw something in the news that the show was in its last season. I still haven't watched it..

    I *never* *watched* Breaking Bad. Loved Better Call Saul, though.

    Hi, pF.

    I *never* *watched* Breaking Bad. Loved Better Call Saul, though.

    Ooh - I always wondered what it would be like to watch Better Call Saul then Breaking Bad, rather than the other way around!

    If you watch Breaking Bad at some point please let me know :)

    Not sure if you're a gamer of any sort. Pickup the new Indiana Jones. :) Been playing it lately, and it's like a whole new movie. :D

    You should watch it. It *might* be the best series ever aired.
    Certainly in the Top Three All Time. Seriously.

    Hmmmmm.... well that solves your dilemna, then. If you loved Saul (so
    did I), you'll not be able to stop watching BB. It's that good,
    possibly the best series I've ever seen.

    Absolutely! Loved it.

    I think it's better to watch Breaking Bad first. That provides a lot of background info and character development, which helps you understand
    the details of Better Call Saul better. Both are GREAT.

    I'm a gamer, have an Dell optiplex i7 9th gen, but only a Nvidia GTX
    1030. Maybe I should upgrade my power supply and video card that week?

    Been playing it! It's pretty good. If you enjoy your Indy punching
    fascists, you'll love this game (also: smashing guitars, hammers, brooms, mandolins, etc. on fascists). I don't think I've even used my gun once.

    Used the gun a couple times, but more entertaining beating up people with your hands or objects. :>

    I too have been enjoying it. I am playing on a pretty easy setting though as I'm looking for the cinematic experience rather than a stealth or a run and gun type of game.
