Our Geeky weeks
Robbie
WoW updates: No GGW Raid night this week & Fishing Artifact progress! Internet problems hampering our mythic progress :(
Bought a new PC case after my old one finally gave up the ghost (it’s been duct taped and stuff to survive this long) so I’ve been rebuilding my system in it’s new house
Razerbug
Still reading before the storm, inspired to create a guild dnd 5e RPG event
Tosh
Not this week but recently finished Before the Storm. Tell the airplane story (that’s a reminder to me to tell the story)
Taliep
I’ve been taking all my 110s (5) through the new scenario to max out their weapons and trying to get all their professions up to 800. Listened to Before the Storm
Watched Thor Ragnarok with Toshie. Very funny!
Bought a new laptop gaming machine. I’ve had my old one for about 6 years and it was getting to the-slow-as-molasses stage. So I ordered a brand new one with shiny colorful keyboard and fast as lightning with my 72 mps download speed. Not like Robbie building his own but exciting for me.

The comedic potential here was too much to pass up. NOT about someone considering suicide, because that is really sad that toxic fandom did that ...but ...just …. I mean …. Jar Jar Binks! Am I right?

Star Wars: The Last Jedi remake poster mocks angry fans. There are ANY number of Star Wars movies I would remake (see Ep 1, 2 and 3) although I do not wish any ill upon anyone involved with the films.
