Apparently two of the hosts left because they weren't comfortable with a push towards dirty humor, something that Harvey is more than fine with.
I love the Feud- and it has hands down the best final round of any game show ever- but all those innuendo questions do get really super old, fast. Like I get it, but does almost every question have to be rigged for dirty answers? It had more variety before.

That's great! The last time I saw him on the show was (I believe) an April Fool's episode from maybe 4-5 years ago.

IT's kind of amazing that Bob outlived Alex Trebek too. I mean he's easily 95 years old!

Drew wouldn't be bad, but people see him more as a funny guy and I don't think the Jeopardy audience would really be up for that. But I think he could keep it serious as well if that is what they wanted him to do. So while I don't think DC would do it, I could see him be able to do it and be decent with it.

My vote was for Ken Jennings however.
It took a while for me to get used to it but Carey is PERFECT for The Price Is Right. I wouldn't want him to leave the show at this point. And I've been watching TPiR since the late 70s as a little kid, Bob was my dude.

Wayne's World 1, I still crack up and I've seen it maybe 20 times at least.

That's the era I grew up with, in some part thanks to to my dad and uncle who loved the franchise. It wasn't until several years later that I finally saw what would be my favorite episode(s), which was the series finale.
Yeah the last season was mostly a dud but the finale, Pegasus, Preemptive Strike, and Paralels were good ones.

DS9 is my overall favorite but the golden TNG era is really tough to beat.

But yeah Data is by far the most powerful being on the ship in many ways and did take over the ship to fly back to meet his "dad" Soong in the S3 episode 'Brothers'. They should've done more "Data runs amok" episodes though another good one was when he, Troi, and O'Brien got taken over by those non-corporeal beings in ten forward.

I am the biggest Trek geek I know so it's nice to see any TNG posts on PotD, especially from their golden era of S3-6.

Yeah them being that loud accentuates how sloppy they are too. It's just a little ditty that plays over the title screen which is why it's so short.

Thanks!!!

No, it's just a $100 Yamaha job I got a couple years ago to replace my even crappier old keyboard. I'm thinking once I get some extra dough though I want to get something better. Nothing stupid expensive but I'm really enjoying keyboard a lot. And this time I won't put the little "A-G" stickers on some of the keys XD

I'd try seeing if you can sustain some chords in the right hand if you want to keep the moving bass or add some more half/whole notes in the bass line. Without drums, I think it would work as written, but with the beat driving, I don't think you need all of the movement.
Yeah the drums are REALLY busy, the bass drum hits are in between beats (on the 'ands') and the cowbell is on the regular, but the way it's set up it makes the cowbell sound like it's doing the weird hits. I almost might take the drums completely out and see how that sounds.

Hashimoto's disease is basically just an autoimmune version of hypothyroidism. For whatever reason, your body's immune system decides it doesn't like your thyroid and starts murdering it, resulting in decreased levels of thyroxine (which regulates pretty much all metabolism). Treating it with levothyroxine (commonly known under the brand name "Synthroid," but that patent has long since expired and generics are everywhere) just means you're replacing the thyroxine you should be making with synthetic stuff from a pill. It's virtually identical to natural thyroxine, so provided you get the dosage right and don't accidentally give yourself hyperthyroidism, there shouldn't be any side effects (much like taking insulin).
Yep, this sums it up nicely.

The weird thing is I thought for sure I'd have hyperhtyroidism, and not hypothyroidism, since I am skinny as shit and have the one that's supposed to make you gain a ton of weight. I'm hoping taking the replacement vittles also prevents the attack on the thyroid, so far so good.

PSO (phantasy star online) was very similar to Diablo II in alot of ways, only sci-fi based, and I would say even more skill based in the combat. It was close to an MMO much like D2 as well (you could play with others).

I think this is a huge reason why I enjoy the Borderlands games so much. "Diablo with guns!" is a pretty apt way to describe it. The graphical style is what got me to try it in the first place though, I love the look vs. super ultra realism.

Yeah I had staples throughout my life that I would go back and replay, but not for decades now sadly.

Started with games like Wizardry proving grounds of the mad overlord, moved on to all the great/amazing Might and magic games and then the two insanely awsome games Phantasy star online and Diablo 2 came out. Final Fantasy 6 (3) was in there as well. Pretty much had something as a "yearly" game till about 2000 but yeah, been 20 years now where i have been constantly accumulating more games than I play, and the number I finish each year has decreased constantly, to the point where I prob have not even finish one game in a year a few times now.

Even the ones I really really like, I often don't end up finishing at this point for some unknown reason.
Wow that's awesome, looks like we actually played a lot of the same games as kids!

I had played the first Might & Magic on the Apple ][e (the one with Sorpigal with all the white walls and etc) and it was probably my first real deep computer game. I didn't get a chance to play Wizardry Proving Grounds until I got a NES but I played the crap out of it for years. Unfortunately the good ol' NES "blinking blue screen of doom" erased my entire roster. That was a bad day hah.

I really only played the first Phantasy Star for the Master System to any decent degree and that was a HUGE step up in basically everything that I had played before then. The graphics mostly, and the way they handled the 3D dungeons specifically, really set it apart. FF6 is one of the two FF games I even like, and had played the mighty Diablo 2 pretty seriously for the course of about 10 years. The good ol' days!

It's weird but I don't really drink and I don't do drugs. I wonder if buying video games that you'll never play qualifies as some sort of addiction? Serious question, now. We may not be all that bad however take a gander at Steam and you'll routinely see tons of people who'll buy stuff and never even install the thing. That's next level!
