Honestly, if you're itching for some Doctor Who I can't recommend Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency enough. Dirk basically is The Doctor, if everyone hated The Doctor (including his companion). The actor who plays him, Samuel Barnett should be considered for the roll of the 13th, especially if the rumours of the BBC wanting to return to the Smith/Tennant style Doctors are true. It's so glaring that I looked into the books the series is based off and they started as Doctor Who scripts in the 80s, so that explains that. Frodo is in it, he's pretty great and it's filmed in my hometown of Vancouver! Plus there's a corgi.

Nothing like waiting a full year for an underwhelming Doctor Who episode.

Undead and Undressed? What?

Maybe 40%?? A lot of them are evolutions of Pokemon you're never going to use, then a bunch are Pokemon that don't show up in the wild often, multiple Pokes that only evolve from stones which there are only one of in each game, and of course version exclusive Pokes. It helps to have another copy of the game with another 3DS handy. There's at least 10, maybe more, that you can only get through trading (usually with a rare item). So I'd boot up my wife's system, transfer it over, watch it evolve, then transfer back. I spent way too much time on this but with it being winter outside and dark at like 3:30pm, the wife and I have been watching a lot of TV shows, so it's been nice to have a handheld game I can grind as we watch TV. The big key for this was GTS trading. Using QR codes once a day you can catch only one of four specific Pokes that aren't in the game in a traditional sense (they're not even in the dex), and every day it changes. This includes the final evolutions of the Black/White starters. So I caught the water starter, bred it to get the first form (over and over again), and GTS traded them probably 25 times if not more. This cut down a bunch of time. I did try going to a full Pokedex in Omega Ruby, I caught every Poke I could in the over world and afterwards transferred in all my Heart Gold, Black, Black 2, and Y Pokes. I ended with 200ish to go. But there's no National Dex in Sun/Moon so that cut out 500+ Pokes, making it way easier to get the Shiny Charm.

I fucking did it. Going for shiny pokes now.

TFA is more light hearted and fun. Plus there was more excitement leading up to it, characters we haven't seen in 35 years, the first good SW film in decades. But I think Rogue One is an objectively a better film.

I don't know, Mal. I'm not saying it's the best Star Wars film. But I think you can make that argument. I'm incredibly impressed. There's no new characters as great as say, a Han Solo or maybe even Finn or Poe. But they're all good. K2SO might be the best. Baze Malbus and Chirrutt Imwe were also great (despite having to look up their names). And HOLY SHIT, Vader at the end.

I got a $20 PSN card in my office's Secret Santa, so I picked up Stardew Valley!

No choice at all.

I put that thing in my basement thinking I'd do tons of remote play with it. Never have once. Can't believe it didn't have Netflix. Terrible.

I was watching A Very Murray Christmas last night and they all sang that song at the end. The best Christmas music though:

How many times has Zelda been delay now? It was originally a 2015 game right?

Once again HH sums up my feelings entirely.

Pokemon Sun Man, way too much story. Get real, Nintendo. Also, the waypoint kind of ruins the game. I did like the world, the characters were fine, the new Poke designs were really good.... kind of spoilerish:

That's incredible. At this rate, maybe North American First Nation people will be able to actually play First Nation characters.

Started Final Fantasy XV last night. Christ, that frame rate is atrocious. Also weird that four posh dudes in a modern setting are getting out of their expensive Italianish car to go kill random wild animals with swords. The Coleman's product placement is a little much. That said, I'm enjoying the openness of the world, the characters seem fine certainly no one is as bad as Hope or Vanille, and the combat is ok.

You know, as a big GoT fan, and a fan of westerns, I was really looking forward to Westworld. I just couldn't get into it. It was fine, and a better Sunday evening program than The Walking Dead, but I can't ever see myself getting as into it as I am with Thrones.

Reviews for the most part are looking HOT.

YES WE HAD TRUMP. AND DAVID BOWIE, PRINCE, GEORGE MARTIN ALL DIED BUT... 2016 IS REDEEMED!!!!!!

Where I live, dog licenses are a municipal thing, I've never had one for any of our dogs and I don't know anyone who has, you might want to ask around with some other dog owners if they do it. One thing to look at it is medical insurance. It's not the expensive and it could cover you if they ever need surgery or something like that. As for food, do some research into what type of food available in your area is best. Some of the popular brands of food are really unhealthy for dogs. One of our guys has allergies to chicken and grains, which really limited the types of food we could buy him, but the wife discovered that Costco dog food (which makes some chicken and grain free food) was much better than some of the alternatives.
