    The Higher Education Thread: Justify Poor Life Choices

    It's mindnumbing trial and error. I had to get a new assay working that there wasn't a great model for in our lab and I didn't have techs or others with an experience to call upon. It was almost 2 years of my life getting it to work reasonably well with repeatable results. Produced 4-5 results...

    The Walking Dead

    I am sticking with my prediction from last season that it was Maggie. The fact that Gimple is suggesting 2 deaths only serves to fuel that prediction. I cannot wait for the internet rage of them beating a pregnant woman to death.

    The Higher Education Thread: Justify Poor Life Choices

    As someone who has a PhD in a hard science from an Ivy League school, you are pretty close to correct... at least in the life sciences. The part of science that requires a brain is the designing the question, identifying the most elegant experiments to ask the questions, interpreting the results...

    Battlefield 1

    Fair enough. If you're looking for a reskinned 1942, I see no reason from what I've played so far today that you won't get that.

    Battlefield 1

    I know... it just makes the gameplay feel a lot worse. Historically accurate is one thing, but if it reduces the enjoyment... I don't know. Next thing you'll see if the tanks randomly having an oil leak and breaking down. Accurate, but hardly fun.

    Battlefield 1

    Mine was in my junk folder. Supposedly you needed to enroll before August 21 and that was it. Game feels pretty meh right now. I'll still probably buy and play, but nothing feels really new. Also, I guess because they want the weapons to be "old", they made them feel clunky and inaccurate to...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    Honestly, not really. There are a few decent episodes, but this show became a real shit show. I'll continue to watch, because well... Yay, Zombies, but this FTWD really missed a great opportunity to show the unfolding zombie apocalypse as people experienced it, but they decided to do all that in...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    See, I actually think it's a little different issue than that. I think he has a general idea of who ends up where, but I don't think he has a clue on how to get them there in any sort of coordinated and interesting way. It's almost like he scattered characters in the wind to create drama and...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I just don't understand why people seem to root for these games to fail. I mean I understand that the vast majority of them will suck, but I still hold out hope that there will eventually be another good MMO with good group content and minimal P2W elements. Call me a dreamer.

    Veep

    The show writers suggest that Meyers will do what former Presidents do.... Negotiate hostage releases, monitor third world country elections, etc. No idea how well that will work for a show where there are a lot of running jokes and bits, but that's where this is supposed to be headed in the...

    Kevan was in the Sept. Toast.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    My feelings are that the enemies will be at all sides for Cersei just as they were for the Mad King. She will succumb to madness and decide that because of her first successful wildfire experience, she will use the remaining stores to burn King's Landing to the ground, because "if she can't have...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This. If Cersei wasn't there and Tommen wasn't there under these circumstances it was because "there" wasn't a safe place to be for whatever reason. It would be one thing to think that Cersei could have fled the city. It is another thing entirely for Cersei AND Tommen, who has drunk the cool...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think the High Sparrow was starting to understand and agree with what Margery was saying about this being a trap. The look in his eyes is definitely one of doubt in the final moments. He typically has a very smug sense that he knows how to play the game, but for his final moments... he was...
