It wound up getting sent to me through proper channels, I've been listening to it non-stop! My all-time favorite is Casual Walks, there's something about it I just can't get enough of

Recently finished The Night Angel Trilogy and the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks. His character work is phenomenal. His books can be brutal, and he makes his characters deal with consequences. Death is far from the worst thing that can happen (and he doesn't do plot armor either). Also, Sly Botts/AnOceanPearl, War by Sebastian Junger might be up y'all's alley. That was a phenomenal read

Perfect, thanks! That'll save me a lot of aimless searching (one day)

Get a chance to see it yet? I've sadly also heard mixed reviews. I was pretty excited to see it myself.

Gotcha, thanks!

Thanks for the heads up! I'll check it out. Naw, I'm West Coast US, it's a helluva drive to make it to Canada for live shows I'll say, haha But it's been worth it every time! I'm either blind or I don't have the points to even see that link 'cause I can't find it, haha. Can you link me?

Coming back around for the first time in ages, it's not promising that it's been toast for nearly a year. Do you know if they've got any plans to bring it back up? I missed the free download of the 20m demo for Something Like a Storm by a day. I didn't get the notification about it until the day after via email, and now it looks like it may be gone forever ?

Yup, I believe they've got a second season planned. Supposed to be a sequel

Has anyone checked out the new Netflix Original: Stranger Things? It's pulling in really good reviews, but my roommates and I don't get it. We've only got two episodes left, and to us the acting is just ok, the pacing is off, and we feel like we spend most of the time waiting for flat characters to catch up with what the audience already knows. Just wanted to see what other opinions there were about it.

@MrTrufflePig: Yeah, I've got to agree with you there. It started off really real and gritty with the *spoiler?* Punisher. I really liked their version of him, very well done. @Stwlegend: I find it's very enjoyable. It's not necessarily top-shelve television (one of my roommates is very picky, I can't use the word 'good' around him very often, haha). But I find it very entertaining, and the action is great. (Although it can get a little repetitive if you binge watch it. Don't binge watch it)

Oh man, my reading is pretty much relegated to audiobooks at this point, haha. I don't know that the comics would translate well to that medium! You caught season 1?

I'm a little behind the times on this one, but I watched the first two episodes of Daredevil season 2 last night. I'm loving this season's villain so far! It's a fun take on the character. I never read the Marvel comics, so maybe this is par for the course, but from watching the movie a few years back it's entertaining to see the character from this angle.

I'm a web dev, and my team is currently refactoring our Javascript front end over to the strongly-typed Typescript. If any of you folk develop with Javascript I'd strongly recommend checking out Typescript. It transpiles to JS so it's easily usable anywhere, and it allows you to work program with the ES6. Also if you're in an IDE you'll get auto-completion for classes, enums, and interfaces, and it'll yell at you if you're doing something wrong. Especially great for large data constructs.

An amazing film about the true dynamic between rednecks and city-folk. Also Wash's backstory (character from Firefly). Children of Men

I will say though, I really enjoyed Megamind. Sure it was animated, but it was quite good! And it wasn't overly Will Ferrell-y even though he was the main character

I feel like that's how most Will Ferrell movies are these days, haha

Nice! I'm still missing the turntable. Waiting until I move somewhere with space, haha

Happy Birthday Matt!

I was given Ready Player One to read by a buddy of mine. It's being turned into a movie so I've got to hurry up and finish it, haha. Unfortunately it was 'borrowed' from my workplace, so I've got to go pick up a new copy : /

No other ISTPs out there?

On the collection: I just finished my Matthew Good Vinyl collection via ebay! (Avalanche, Lights of Endangered Species, and Arrows of Desire.) Probably unwise, but I'm excited!

How long does a track take to 'expire'? Does the hosting stop after a period of time after uploading? Or time since last download?

I can't remember season 3, and skipped 4 & 5 because I read the books and found it repetitive, haha. However I've enjoyed not knowing what was going to happen. This season was good build-up (The Hodor episode was great). And the last two episodes were all-out 0-60! Great capstone, and it'll be fun to see where they take it.

We don't have a long-running conversation about GoT? How about that season finale though!

Pshhh, I'm pretty sure 75% of StackOverflow posts fall into that category. Heck, if my team had to cite our sources, I think most of our codebase is copy paste! Haha
