I'm surprised we have no thread on the new Fallout series on Prime Video. I have just two episodes left in the first season and I think it is really well done. Very good adaptation of the game. For anyone who knows and loves the stories and imagery from the game series should give this a try...

I have had an upgrade itch for a while, which explains why I was poking around on eBay. These will be going in my office and replacing some Dynaudio Audience 52s. I have the big brother to these speakers, the S3.4s, in the basement and just love them. I put a bid in expecting to be outbid...

I have a trusty Maglite mini that has served me well for years. Not too long ago it stopped working...so I replaced the batteries. No luck, so I replaced the bulb. No luck, so I cleaned any corrosion inside (there wasn't any). Still no luck. I can't figure out what else could cause this...

An amazing performance and recording/mix.

My current basement setup has been unchanged for nearly 2 years. I have a Yamaha RX-A800 receiver that has served me well in the setup. It has been connected to my HSU sub for 2+ years down there. Everything has worked fine until a couple of weeks ago when I noticed the sub was no longer...

Has anyone here seen the new TCL 6 series in person? I am about to pull the trigger on a new 55" display for my home office. This is where I have my PS4 and Xbox One. This tv is only $599 but gets pretty great reviews. There are 2 things that give me pause on this purchase. 1. It's only...

Anyone else hooked on these youngsters who sound like a bit of a throwback Zeppelin? I can't get the song Talk on the Streets out of my head. Here's a couple of samples.

I just got home from seeing Roger Waters in St. Louis. It was the 3rd show on the 2017 tour. It was great. I never thought I would see live Pink Floyd and this was a dream come true. The first half of the show was a little low on energy for my preference but damn did the second set deliver...

We haven't had a poll in a while so here's one.... I just mounted two additional TVs this week for a total of 4 wall mounted TVs in the house. These bases are awkward to store so I am considering tossing them in the trash. But part of me has a hard time letting go. What do most people do...

I have spent the morning listening to some MQA tracks on Tidal via my first gen Blusound Node. It sounds good but it's difficult to notice any drastic improvements. I'm also no clear exactly if this version of the hardware fully supports MQA. I've read conflicting info online. Anyone else...

Anyone else watching Westworld? I really enjoyed the first couple of episodes. I started letting my mind drift for episodes 3-5 but I just read this article to bring me up to speed on the "theories." It's a great article for anyone watching the show. It has show spoilers thru episode 5...

Anyone like to read the short stories on these websites? I have read only a few but I enjoy it. I just finished The Spire in the Woods (https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/1nyt4a/the_spire_in_the_woods/). I thought it was pretty good. Not too scary but well written. I had an idea...

I picked up a new toy last week, a NAD digital integrated amplifier. I was able to pick this up for a song as a trade-in at my local Dynaudio dealer. It has some scratches on it but I have all original packaging and remote etc... I had been keeping an eye out for this model or the smaller...

This game is FUN and creepy. It's a 2-d logic puzzle game with scrolling screen. It looks like a Pink Floyd video. Very fun.

This rumor has been floating around for a while, but it might have some actual teeth to it now. I really hope it's true, as I have heard good things about this game. I think we have a few Skyrim fans on here...

I saw this tribute performance on Jimmy Fallon last night. I thought it was pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uzBHhPEWpE

I just finished season 1 of Bloodline on Netflix. Anyone else watch this? It is very slow out of the gate but really picks up a few episodes in. Really glad I watched this one. Season 2 is due out later this year. I can't wait!

This is kinda cool, the lead singer from Semisonic describes in detail the true meaning of their mid-90s hit "Closing Time." Often thought to be a song about leaving a bar, it's about the birth of a child. Maybe this is common knowledge by now, but I didn't know it. Pretty cool...

This post is overdue but I have some time now to make it, so here we go. Having a basement projector has been a longtime dream of mine. My mom's lifelong bachelor brother had an old CRT based system in his basement from the mid 1980s that he bought from his buddy that was a bar owner. He made...

About 2 months ago we had some friends over with their kids for dinner and drinks etc... The next morning we discovered that the kids cracked the screen on my 60" Panasonic plasma in the basement. I was pretty upset at first but what can we do other than move forward. So after discussing it...
