    black islamist beheads British soldier in London

    I look forward to General (kl)Anthony's valuable contributions to this topic of discussion. On topic, this is more or less what happens when you ignore wackos. They do progressively more extreme shit to draw attention to themselves.

    Doctor Who

    The Great Intelligence is a long time enemy of the Doctor (dating back to the second one, if memory serves), so I think Moffat just pulled him out of the archives to facilitate the whole "Impossible Girl" story line. I really hope that the Valeyard is the direction they are going with the John...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    And it is easier to have female friends you are not married to once you are married and settled down. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive. If you are a single male (especially one of those forever alone guys), then yeah, having platonic female friends who are not using you is unlikely.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    The other thing is that we are looking at the characters at an earlier point in their development (Wrath was post 5 year careers winding down, ID was before 5 year even began) as well as different audiences for movies. Some films can never be made again because the expectations of audiences are...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    Well my wife is a nerd and my best friend, besides being my wife. Maybe you guys marry poofta women you can showboat around to friends and such, but I like being able to do nerd shit with my wife. I like that we argue over who gets to play the next fallout installment first. Treat a woman...

    Why do men keep putting me in the Girlfriend-zone?

    Its a function of age and being in a relationship of your own. When you are younger and looking to fuck anything that moves (and women are generally at their zenith of crazy), you will only put up with women that are either going to put out or serve as a means to get other women to put out...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Liked it. Might have liked it more if they had more if there was a tad more plot and more dialog interaction with Cumberbatch, but I am having a hard time remembering a movie with better pacing than this one. Aliens maybe? Literally no wasted time in this movie, just kept the foot on the gas...

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    Most of their armor downloads tend to be cosmetic, but the robe had nice stats. Anyhow, completed the first run. Changing back to a Sorcerer and facerolling Earthquake and Meteor Swarm on everything made the expansion a lot easier, but the last fight was some annoying shit as a caster. I...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    We used to call that Kirk Fu in my nerd circle. That specific move was known as the Kirk Chops, which you first have to lull your foe into a false sense of security by letting them bear hug you and lift you off the ground. I love the reboots as much as the original, but Shatner is the fucking...

    What directors do you trust the most?

    In the Modern Era, Nolan, Wright, Guy Ritchie, and Abrahms. Say what you will, but I know that no matter what happens, I will not feel like I wasted money on a trip to the theatre for one of their films, at least for the spectacle alone. Of the batch, I like Ritchie the best, mostly due to...

    The Great Gatsby

    Seems likely, considering this is supposedly patterned after the modernized R&J movie Leo did way back when.

    The Great Gatsby

    I will never understand the love for this book, outside of people who treat Atlas Shrugged as the bible, of course. Redford could not make this boring bleak story watchable and I have my doubts that DiCaprio can, either. None of the characters are people you would root for or empathize with...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    This. Xmen also have a completely different sort of tone compared to the more conventional characters and story that the Avengers spring from. FF could be rolled in, but I honestly would not bother at this point. There is already a lot for the average short attention span American audience...

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    So the room just past the bottom of the tower with two Clopses chained to the wall in a hall full of harpies and a pair of wolf boss things was a random monster spawn? That room seemed staged to me, honestly, because of the Clopses starting chained up. And they should have just made Wakestones...

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    The expansion areas are brutal, at least the boss fights are. I was running around as a magic archer with full dragonforged Ur gear around level 125ish and some of the boss fights are really nasty. I ended up going back to being a Sorcerer and just AEfuckit trolling the boss fights, since they...

    Doctor Who

    Regarding Ace, she was one of Fenrick's Wolves. Fenrick was the uber space vampire being that the 7th Doctor had as his main recurring villain. That story line was never fully realized due to the cancellation of the classic series. In ancient Time Lord lore, the space vampires were their...

    Doctor Who

    I actually like Matt Smith, as he reminds me of the best aspects of Baker and Troughton, who did much of the defining work on the character. His supporting cast, on the other hand, has been very hit or miss. River in small doses is excellent, but in large doses the show veers too far off...

    Dark Elves are better in a bash centric environment, thanks to the higher AV and additional blitzers. The biggest problem with injury management on a Wood Elf team is that the linemen are pretty expensive to replace for what amounts to a skill less S3 derp who can happen to handle the ball in a...

    EA will now publish Star Wars Games.

    Bioware got fucked out of being able to complete work on both KOTR games by Lucasarts pushing the schedule on them. Of course, I do not expect EA to be any better in that regard. I expect Call of Duty Wookie Warfare and a slew of sequels with mandatory online multiplayer to be the ultimate...

    Is Christopher Nolan the most overrated director of all time?

    Allen is easily the most overrated director of all time. He has not done anything relevant, outside of circle jerks for movie snobs, for decades. Most of his original classics have not aged very well, either (Everything you always wanted to know about sex but were afraid to Ask being the major...

    Scenes that made you cry like a bitch

    Laugh at me all you want, but the only time I ever cried in a theatre was when Spock died in Wrath of Khan. I think my old man cried like a bitch when no one was looking during that, too. That whole drawn out scene in the engineering was a gut wrencher for any die hard star trek fan. Big Fish...

    Prometheus (Alien 0) - 1 Year Later

    There is genuinely disliking a film. Then there is hopping on the hate bandwagon because ragging on something like some emo hipster is the in thing to do. Perhaps you are in the former category, but there are certainly more people in the latter (this board not withstanding) and I think you...

    I had issues with the movie, but I agree with Araysar in general on this. The internet hate train jumped on this movie like crazy because its become the "in" think to do lately. It had its flaws, but the original was hardly perfect, either. If you want to shaw this thread because it stirs up...

    Rerolled.org Blood Bowl League - Season 2.

    I think you let someone with a fresh team start at a lower division, since they have less development. The less skilled people would learn something facing a fresh 1k TV Cutlery or Adam12 run team, for example. The tournament idea is a descent one, though you obviously will not see certain...

    Single mom who puts out on the first date has to have some amount of crazy, buried somewhere. Hopefully it doesn't pop out when you dump her in the form of her stabbing you.

    I think a break risks losing a lot of people. As an alternate idea if you still want to do a break for the man eague, you could do a mini season where only fresh teams are allowed, that way people wanting time off ca take it and people wanting to dabble in another roster have something to do in...

    The best sequel of all time?

    The space trucker thing is a good call. It laid the groundwork for a lot of good movies that followed a similar atmosphere, like Heavy Metal and Outland. But you could also make the argument that Star Wars created that concept first on the big screen with characters like Han Solo, though he...
