    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I mean, you're at least partly right. But the galaxy is an impossibly large place, and all of the movies are told from the point of view of Jedi. Maybe outside of Coruscant, or peacekeeping missions of extreme importance like the one to Naboo, Jedi wouldn't be seen for hundreds of years between...

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    There's no pretty sure about it, they confirmed that in Guardians of the Galaxy. The Tesseract contains the Space Stone, the Scepter had the Mind Stone, the Aether somehow contains the Reality Stone, the purple one from GotG is the Power Stone. They haven't revealed the Time or Soul Stones. My...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I actually knew all that without resorting the the wookie. What I didn't know is that it eventually turned into a Rule of One during the time of Luke's Great Grandchildren or some such shit, and what I read made me glad Disney pulled a Scarlet Witch on the Extended Universe.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    About a thousand years BBY a Sith named Darth Bane wiped out the rest of the Sith Lords and instituted the Rule of Two wherein there would only ever be two sith, a master and an apprentice. That's why there are so few Sith. There are other dark side cults that aren't Sith, like the Witches of...

    If you die in Limbo, run back. Teleporting makes you lose the damage buff. Makes a huuuuuge difference.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    If Lucas really is the one who pioneered the standard of putting the credits at the end of the movie, I would say that is his single greatest accomplishment with regards to cinema. I can't even conceive of what it would be like to sit there and watch the credits before the movie started.

    Hearthstone

    The main reason why a best of X with a single deck and a sideboard wouldn't work in Hearthstone is mainly because Blizzard doesn't release hate cards that are anywhere near as powerful as what Magic does. If I play meddling mage on one of your main combo pieces or manage to extirpate your kill...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yeah I think I found footage of the original credits, and he's just listed as Peter Cushing. Nobody is listed by their roles. It just says Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, then Cushing and Guinness each solo on their own screen, then a big batch of names including James Earl Jones as...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Unless it was added in the special editions, at no point in the movie is Tarkin referred to as Grand Moff. It's just another made up word like Sith that is used in the script to set the scenes, but was never actually spoken during the movie. He is addressed by title twice in the movie, once by...

    Hearthstone

    Uh, no you don't need sideboards. That's the whole point of the multiple deck format instead of going best of X with a single deck.

    It's tuned at around red muspelheim level which is too hard for most of the playerbase. I'm enjoying it just fine although there's no way it doesn't get tuned down.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm open to the idea of Stannis being alive, only because when interviewed the director was like 'no no hes dead, we just thought showing it would be gratuitous'. In a series overflowing with gratuitous violence.

    Dutch is the language Lucas claimed Darth Vader meant Dark Father in you stupid motherfucker.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    This has been repeatedly debunked. The dutch word for dark is donker, not darth, and vader is pronounced very differently in dutch. It's also been well established that Anakin and Darth Vader didn't get merged into a single character until they were working on Empire Strikes back, well after he...

    Armor tiering? Do you mean uniques or do you mean costume affixes? And if you're a casual with only 1 60, you don't belong in cosmic patrols.

    Get good? Doom is OP as fuck and the second strongest hero in the game after Scarlet Witch. If you don't have a promethium bifecta in your costume (25% medkit/2 sec invul) get one. If you still can't beat it, go farm up the Pirate Deadpool team up (or buy the Deadpool the Kid team up) and...

    There are all sorts of crazy theories about it but my assumption has always been that it's just a contraction of Dark Lord of the Sith.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I'm not arguing against that. I think the EU developed basically all the Sith back story. The word Sith does appear repeatedly in the original Star Wars script, not in any of the spoken lines but in the little blurbs where they set up the scenes Vader is referred to as a Sith Lord or a Dark Lord...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I honestly have no idea what point you're trying to make. If the whole back story with the Sith didn't exist back then, and Darth was his first name instead of a Sith title, it's still appropriate for Ben, who previously had aclose personal relationship with him, to call him by his first name...

    I'm sure I can find whored up glam shots of Emily Blunt too. I mean, nobody is saying BLEAH WINNICK WOULD BE HORRIBLE, we're just saying we prefer Emily Blunt. Winnick has some really intense scenes as Lagertha, and I'm sure she could do justice to the role. But when I think about the...

    Maybe instead you should have watched Earth's Mightiest Heroes where she beat down Ronan the Accuser, kicked the shit out of a bunch of super skrulls at once, and even clocked Galactus in the dome. She probably could have beaten Hulk and Thor at the same time.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I once fucked a chick and the best way I could describe the feeling was that it was like sticking my dick into a jar of fruit preserves. I've never felt like wasting a jar to confirm whether I was 100% accurate but I'm sure I was.

    This describes it pretty well. I'm pretty sure Rousey really is tough as nails, but when she actually tries to look tough she looks like she's putting on an act. Her mean mug at UFC weigh ins is fucking adorable.

    Not sure if serious? It isn't even remotely unusual to refer to someone by their title instead of their name.

    Dr. Cliff Huxtable was a mega rapist

    Not that I agree with Column's stance, but cast members defending him is of middling value. If he was raping women, it seems very doubtful that he would have raped any of the cast or even anyone directly involved with the show, and Phylicia Rashad was probably older than he would have been...

    Unless her vajeener got demolished so bad it needed reconstructive surgery or something, everything should be back to normal once she feels comfortable having something traverse that passage again.

    Hearthstone

    I'm not hung up on anything, I acknowledged that it doubles as a shitty silence, it's the same cost as Arcane Golem, and you must not play any aggro or you'd know the extra mana crystal very rarely bites you in the ass.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yeah because if you were having the exact same conversation with Dooku, it wouldn't make any sense to say "Only a master of evil, Count"

    Actually I think most of my fastest Firebase Giant platinum farms came when I was playing the volus engineer. You just stand at the farming spot a little ways behind your Juggernaut keeping recon mine active for the +25% damage and 30% slow and spam proximity mine for an additional 20% damage...

    Hearthstone

    You don't replace scientists unless you cut secrets altogether. But yes, a full on face-mage aggro deck might run boar because they're more likely to have disposable creatures to use for it. I believe I already said that. Except I'm not really convinced the fact that it doubles as a really...

    You don't run sheep in aggro decks and control decks would rather have something they can clear with acolyte or a ping.

    Hearthstone

    Except they gave it to a class that already has frostbolt and fireball, neither of which require a creature in play and both of which ignore taunt and work as removal without leaving a 4/2 body behind. I didn't ignore the value of anything.

    Hearthstone

    I think you guys are overestimating it. It's 4 damage for 3 mana that requires you to sacrifice a creature in play and doesn't ignore taunt. Maybe it would have a place in a full on aggro mage list, but tempo mage doesn't really run disposable creatures. Even shit that's supposed to die, like...
