Breaking bad/Saul are the GOAT for me 

Did you hear that Vince Gilligan is making a Jim Jones miniseries for HBO?

That's fucking awesome man!

One of the reasons I started watching breaking bad in the first place. Great and beautiful city and state. Love New Mexico. 

True fact I'm a born and raised Boruqeno from Albuquerque. Lived there for 18 years and both the Mexican restaurants and Los Pollos Hermanos are only like 5 minutes from my parents house.

Damn you guys are killing me with all these good suggestions.

People here have godly taste in tv. Saul is only two weeks from today.  

Finally saw Ant-Man. It was a really funny movie with much lower stakes than Infinity War which was a nice change of pace. The post credit scene was as expected awesome. I’m so sad thought at the 6 month wait for the next Marvel movie. They’re probably the most consistent studio over the last few years. Kevin Feige is amazing.

I  only watched a few episodes of season 1 and while I did enjoy them, I was burnout from too many tv shows. How are season 2 and 3?

It's a slow burner to start off with but it gets better and better as it goes on. The writing is top notch and probably the best on television. Season 3 is really close to Breaking Bad level good. All 3 seasons are up right now on Netflix.

Fuck I need to get back to watching it.

 

This season is pretty much going full breaking bad. I’m thinking we’ll see the full Saul Goodman by the end of the season. 

It’s been way too long since I saw this show. Best written show on television right now IMO. This season looks epic as fuck. 

Vince Gilligan  

I’m taking a plunge and starting FFXV since my GF is obsessed and 15 hours into Octopath. I like the new battle system. I’m kind of liking the entourage like feeling of the main guys. 

Got bored and just restarted Parks and Rec. Best network comedy of this decade.

@-GD- I think Jimbo needs a timeout

Yep, I did therapy for 8 months and learned a lot about the illness and understood a lot about my life up to that point and honestly my dad. I think one of the healthiest things I did is forgive my dad for a lot of what happened in my childhood because he has it as well. He did the legwork for me and found the right medication to help manage it and now I am on it and can avoid a lot of the same mistakes he made. I can also spot my triggers and know when I'm manic or going into a depressive episode which is it's main symptom. I know it had an effect on my marriage that ultimately ended my relationship but I think we could have worked if she had left me get through this. It's like any other physical illness that anyone suffers from. It doesn't at all affect my ability as a father.

Yeah probably not a bad idea

If you haven’t yet, watch Barry on HBO. It’s one of the best new shows of this year.

@Ike, what did you think of Sharp Objects ep 1. I posted my thoughts in the old thread.

Still have yet to watch it, I’m debating just waiting until it’s over and binging or watching it weekly. I still have Handmaid’s Tale and The Terror to catch up on. 

Am I the only one who couldn’t watch The Crown? I tried watching it and fell asleep from sheer boredom. The stakes are so low in that show and I just couldn’t get invested in the drama. 

Awesome to see Bateman get the nom for Ozark, he was so good. The best actor category in drama is competitive as shit. 

It was my daughters 6th birthday yesterday. Crazy how fast they grow. 

I got a lot more in depth with this game. It’s a phenomenal rhythm game and a perfect fit for Switch. I’m a huge fan of the genre (DJMax on PSP and Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents were some of my favorite games on their platforms) and this is addicting and great.

Emmy’s are fucking stacked this year. 

Catching up on some stuff. Watched Justice League finally, it was meh. Westworld finale was excellent and I hope it’s not another 18 months wait for season 3. I also watched The Hitman’s Bodyguard. It was surprisingly great. Reynolds and Jackson have amazing chemistry. 

Sharp Objects premier tonight on HBO

I'll give it a second spin some day. The PS moves controls were pure fail. Which is weird since Rush of Blood, while not the best tracking, worked overall really well. 

 

The PS Aim was also shit in Bravo Team apparently. I'm not sure what happened but I suspect Sony rushed both games out the door.

I know. It was a big letdown. I switched to the dualshock almost immediately. I'm going to give Wipeout a go soon. I also want to get Moss and Thumper soon. I can't wait for Tetris Effect either. PSVR owns. Thanks for the recommendation.

Until you played The Inpatient/Bravo Team.  

I have The Inpatient. I like the story, atmosphere and the setting but goddamn the gameplay is awful.

Fuck yeah. Preach it.   

 

It's worth mentioning that Rush of Blood is a launch title for the PSVR, they really nailed it on their first go and at the price it is now it's just perfect. An essential PSVR game. 

Supermassive Games is one of my favorite developers of this gen.
