Ben Affleck movies

Thank you all for sharing your picks! These episodes are so fun to put together so I hope you enjoy them as well. I don't know who the next actor is, but I'm sure I'll add to the long list of movies I should watch no matter who gets picked.

And that, as we say, is that! Thanks for doing the thing! Next week: We'll talk Taco Bell, playing video games on easy mode, and maybe a third thing. Come on back! Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Crap open a cold one!

I love Grand Theft Auto games. I have played a bunch of them and I always find ways to have fun. Do I complete every mission in each one? Absolutely not. But the worlds are so expansive that I can have enough fun without finishing the story.

HAVING SAID THAT: This big of a franchise going the no-disc route is bad for gaming as a whole. PlayStation going digital-only days after this release news is also bad. Other studios will copy this model and it will be a mess for the consumer. I hate it, but it is unfortunately where we are headed. Corporations care about making money, and cutting costs is an easy way to do that.

I won't tell you to boycott the game, because that won't work as well as anyone hopes it will - too many people will buy it solely because it's GTA, everything else be damned. So we probably won't be able to stick it to the man in this case.

BUT! If you are excited to play this new game in November? I am so happy for you, and I want you to write or call in and tell me how much fun you're having when the time comes. I hope the game is as much fun as you've been hoping all these years.

One more thing before I go: buy physical media whenever you can. Put your shows and movies on hard drives and/or cloud storage. Back up everything in every way you can. Don't let corporate greed rob you of your comfort show or movie, especially after you've already paid for it. Get a win somewhere!

Yeah, there was no good transition there, but I had to add something else here for you today. Next week, we'll share skills we wish we had, so come on back for that. Until then, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Crap open a cold one!
