    Witcher (Netflix)

    Enjoying the show so far, two episodes left for me. Netflix has released an interactive timeline / map (spoilers if you haven't finished watching): https://www.witchernetflix.com/en-gb

    The Orville Season Two - Thoughts?

    Isaac mentionned being out for 32 cycles (or so... maybe 34). If a cycle is a day, then the distance makes more sense.

    so much for those toe shoes adverts

    I've used Vibrams for 2 years now, for training. I have flat feet, and any training (P90X, Insanity, etc) with cardio was really hard on my feet and calves. After a few weeks with Vibrams, that went away. It took some time to get used to them, and change the way I jump/land, but it's much, much...

    What shows or movies do you wish would get either DVD or Instant Viewing releases

    Costco has the french version: http://www.costco.ca/Les-Mysterieuses-Cit%C3%A9s-d%E2%80%99or-%E2%80%93-8-DVD-Collection.product.100071167.html (at least in Canada...)

    iOS 7

    Did you get this to work? You just need to swipe up. Double-click on Home, then swipe up on the app (not the icon) for those you want to close. It's faster than iOS6, and works fine for me.

    Need Recommendations: Spy Thriller Novels

    I really enjoyed Edge by Jeffrey Deaver. The first Bourne novel is pretty good; I enjoyed it a lot. It was a bit funny, reading about computers with black screens and green letters (it was written in the early '80s, IIRC). The second novel (Bourne Supremacy) was ok, and the third I didn't...

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    Same here; I've put in about 40 hours (level 30), and I'm still loving it. Primary weapon is daggers, and secondary is bow. Daggers are very fast, so I can usually interrupt enemy attacks and keep them "stun-locked". The skill I use most is Detect Hidden, and Persuasion. For the other skills...

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    There's a healer in the first town, upstairs in the Inn. You should see a cross on your map when you zoom in. I've played about 10 hours now, really enjoying it. I'm playing a stealthy assassin, sneak-attacking with daggers. I like the storyline so far, though I've been mostly doing side...

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    To pull this back on topic... Bought the game Tuesday; I've played a bit less than 4 hours now. I feel I'm not leveling as fast as in the demo, though that could just be my memory. I haven't actually checked how high a level I got in the demo. I also feel it's a bit harder than the demo; while...

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    Not now though... but there are rumors Microsoft will be putting that "feature" in the next XBox.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    Yeah, I've played the demo twice. Really like it. It's fairly open world, less than Skyrim, but with a better combat system, IMO. It's definitely a different art direction to the world; Skyrim went for a more realistic color palette and style, while Kingdoms of Amalur is definitely more classic...

    P90x

    I did the P90X program with my wife last winter (February - April). It's a great program. I didn't follow the meal plan too precisely, though I cut alcohol and watched what I ate. I only lost a couple of pounds, but lost 2.5 inches off my waist (I'm not a big guy). I'm actually starting to have...

    Anyone from Ottawa or Quebec?

    Yeah, a scarf is sufficient. You'll only really need it if you walk for 10+ minutes outside, or it's really windy. A photocopy of your passport is what they mean. The web site of the city of Ottawa has a lot of info: City of Ottawa Since it's the capital, there's a lot of national museums in...

    Anyone from Ottawa or Quebec?

    I lived in Ottawa for 3.5 years, about 10 years ago. Loved it. You might get fairly cold weather in early February, -20C for a week or two at most. By March, things start to warm up as the sun gets stronger, and some days go above 0C. Your gear depends a bit on how you're getting around...

    Stargate Universe - Who fired first?

    Actually, the only information we have on how they escaped the ship is Rush's explanation. We did not see their actual escape; we saw Rush find Chloe, and then we saw them board Destiny. It may have gone down as Rush told it, but it may not. It gives the writers two possibilities for further...

    Heroes Vol 5 #15:Closer to You/Season 4/2010

    Well, the first time she played the cello in the park (when Peter first noticed her, IIRC) it did draw people to her. Now, whether it was part of the power of the beauty of her music isn't really clear, but it did have that effect. Maybe, with concentration, she can actively draw people to her...

    HEROES Vol 5 #12:The Fifth Stage

    It was mentionned in the episode that the files were those of all the people with abilities HRG had captured. Samuel would definitely want those; it provides a good excuse to increase his power, while he can claim he's growing his "family".

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #6:Water/Season 1/2009

    I don't think they have enough water; they lost half (or so) of their reserves during the episode, and only brought back one sledful of ice. I don't think it was enough.
