    One generation away, teens react to Windows 95

    It doesn't take a long time because we're in the middle of nowhere. It takes a long time because we have half a million people and only about 8 total cabs. As I said, Uber drove them out of business. We live in a time of cellphones. It's just the way it is. Even if you can't afford one...

    Not a metropolis. More like the suburbs. We don't have cabs driving around that you can hail. You want to call a cab the traditional way, expect to wait at least 30-45 minutes for it to even show up. You want an Uber, it'll be there in 2. I don't know what kind of training Uber drivers go...

    As far as I'm concerned, DVDs are outdated technology as well.

    I'd guess that most US internet goes through your cable company these days. I don't know too many people that still have DSL through their phone line.

    The last pay phone I remember seeing was when I worked at TGI Fridays 10 years ago. It was part of the "old timey" decor and didn't actually work. Then we remodeled the building, and they got rid of it.

    Capaldi 'hasn't decided' if he staying past Series 10 yet.

    Do as you like. I thought Hell Bent was awesome.

    Maybe in your region they're still around, but when I say they're "hard to find," I mean it would probably take me days to locate one. Any attempt to teach kids how to use one would probably require a road trip. Hell, even calling a taxi is becoming outdated technology. All our cab companies...

    The odds of them a) needing to use a pay phone, b) finding a pay phone, and c) having quarters to put into the pay phone happening at the same time are just so tiny.

    There's just no reason for them to know. If I had kids at an "appropriate" age, they would be 5-10 years old right now, well after I stopped owning/using a VCR. They'd never have even been exposed to it.

    Teaching kids how to use obsolete technology would really only come in handy if they are cast in my aforementioned reality show.

    And yet, it's probably all you're gonna get.

    Honestly, these days, you'd be better off teaching them to borrow a stranger's cellphone than go through the effort of trying to find a pay phone. It is an antiquated and unnecessary skill.

    Well, good for them. I'd be hard pressed to even FIND a pay phone. They just don't exist around here anymore. Kids have smart phones. Most kids that I know have had smartphones since they were about 9 years old. I mean, hell, I'm only 30, but even I've had a cellphone for the last 15 years...

    Capaldi 'hasn't decided' if he staying past Series 10 yet.

    He was there to say, "Hi guys, it's the 50th Anniversary, and I'm the next Doctor!" Case closed.

    You suppose? The majority of kids today have their own iPhones. They probably haven't even seen a payphone before. Hell, it's been at least a decade since I last saw one.

    Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

    I know reshoots are normal, but do they usually happen after trailers have already been released? It just seems a little late in the game to be doing this, and with a brand new actor as well!

    Capaldi 'hasn't decided' if he staying past Series 10 yet.

    So far Capaldi's main role has been wrapping up old storylines. Unfortunately, it took him two whole seasons to accomplish that. With the end of last season, however, all of those storylines are closed, and now he and the writers are free to open up whatever universe they want for him. I think...

    Capaldi talks about Series 10. (Very vague Spoilers.)

    Moffat is incapable of writing "less emotion."

    Fuller House teaser trailer

    Yeah, it's not "Why isn't Bob Sagat here?" so much as it is "Why isn't Danny Tanner here?" Big family event and he's not even mentioned. Even a throwaway "He had to work today" line would have been enough.

    Assassin's Creed: Syndicate (also Chronicles and Movie)

    The only thing I really liked about ACIII was wandering around Boston and going, "Oh hey, I've seen that building!" But otherwise, yeah, it was so lame. While the gameplay is significantly improved in "Syndicate," I still kinda feel the same way about the setting. London. Woo. Maybe I'm just...
