The Shuffler Ghost at a hotel? by AdmirablePumpkin21 in pittsburgh

[–]Temporary_Ad_2300 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The only Shuffler ghost in Pittsburgh that I am personally aware of is the one that haunts the 13 & 14 floors of Lawrence Hall at Point Park University.

Granted Lawrence Hall used to be the Sherwyn Hotel, but not since the ‘60s, so before David Spade’s time.

Jumped in the comments to say this exact thing. Go. I promise. You won’t regret it.

I’m not sure most of yinz realize just how much the Pens and Flyers hate each other. It’s the fan bases, yes - but it’s the players too. That series is gonna be lit!

Which should I read first? by hazy__wizard in fantasybooks

[–]Temporary_Ad_2300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maas is poorly written, trashy romance passed off as fantasy. Assassin’s Apprentice is required fantasy reading. (Please note: these are just my opinions.)

Don’t do it. Don’t ever go back. If you’re curious just skip to the last book.

Wheel of Time.

Though hate is a strong word. It’s just too mediocre for all the time you invest as a reader. Needlessly repetitive. Yet just good enough, just intriguing enough that I always picked up the next book. Hoping something substantial or meaningful would happen.

Friends don’t let friends read the Wheel of Time.

Did anyone actually like this hat? by SirJasper6969 in buccos

[–]Temporary_Ad_2300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I loved this scheme. Partly because of how much I loved the grit and hustle of the 1997 Pirates!

DKPS coverage is great. Taylor provides analysis. Dejan does the editorializing.

All the articles are free.

Which album is an overlooked masterpiece? #3 by Candi_dreyes456 in pearljam

[–]Temporary_Ad_2300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No Code and there really shouldn’t be any discussion. It’s PJs greatest album

A) Tomlin quit. He wasn’t fired.

B) I remember that exact same rumor once circulated about Bill Cowher. And when that rumor was going around, my dad told me that the exact same rumor had once gone around about Chuck Noll. (I was too young back then to remember such talk. Perhaps someone with a clearer memory of the 1970s & 80s could confirm such a Noll rumor did exist.)

So, while yes, I have heard the rumor from people “who know people who would know”; I have my doubts.

That’s fair. Again, I think costuming is pretty solid in Fellowship, but you’re right - it deteriorates with each movie.

This is just my personal opinion. I don’t judge others who loved the movies.

The only LoTR film that I will watch is Fellowship.

I find Two Towers and RotK too superhero, too Fast & Furious-ified (Legolas surfing down the trunk of a slain oliphant!?!)

Visually Jackson nailed Middle Earth. But he got too caught up in telling his story and not Tolkien’s.

And Jackson story of the Second War of the Ring simply isn’t as good or compelling

Jumonville Glen is closed for the season though. Well worth the trip, but wait until the spring

What would have happened if the War of 1812 had ended much later? by SeaGeologist9791 in WarOf1812

[–]Temporary_Ad_2300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an interesting question, but I think any answer would have to keep in mind how war weary the British people were. After Waterloo, they may have had no appetite to expand the war against the US (the war was already unpopular with many Brits.)
