    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    I'm pretty sure you're wrong about this. Casinos have maximum bets for all table games and don't offer infinite parlays on roulette tables (meaning if you win a couple times in a row doubling your bet you're going to hit the max bet and not be able to double any longer). Slots are programmed...

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    I don't necessarily agree that it was their intention to get John out but I do agree it's a stupid fucking challenge. They easily could have planned out the sequence of RI challenges before the season even started. I'm guessing they have some kind of schedule to keep things running smoothly...

    In contrast to the motion control shit which I couldn't care less about, I'm actually kind of excited about the potential virtual reality implementations. Who knows, maybe VR will actually make the motion controls worthwhile.

    Hello Ladies

    Yeah, it's pretty good despite being mostly the same cringe worthy, borderline unlikable character driven show as Extras and Life is too short.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Exactly, you never get the choice if the good prize is revealed so it doesn't matter whether it's pointed out in the hypothetical or whether the host knows. The scenario with the choice only exists if the booby prize is revealed every time. The question is really: you get to pick 1 door, the...

    They really need to put the ultimate fusion recipes in the game. There are just too many to keep track of now and it's stupid to have to look at a website to figure out what they are.

    They clearly want us to think he's helping Knox with the (apparently based on Nucky's reaction) out of character question about the business. This show doesn't seem to really do much misdirection so I'd be a little surprised if it was the case here but we can hope. I'm confused by the Piggly...

    Yeah, it hasn't been revealed yet. We'll find out next episode. I was laughing when Van Alden finally accepted who he was and let it all out.

    They really do some amazing scenes in this series. I'll never forget the penultimate episode of the 2nd season with the music box playing -- I was really tired and half asleep while watching it and it just became surreal.

    Arcade Fire - "Reflektor" October 28, 2013.

    Yeah, Neon Bible didn't do much for me but Suburbs was amazing. I fucking love that they did this movie... makes the songs instantly more meaningful (and better) to me. I'm a huge sucker for any album where the songs tie together in some way.

    Yeah I've taken to just farming Ocean of Heaven whenever possible for those stupid masks. The mask dungeon is so worthless unless there's an event going on (and even then you can get fucked pretty bad). The dub-mythlits are only available in the Friday dungeon, Starlight Sanctuary, Isis...

    Puzzles and Dragons

    I've only seen 1 in probably 15 runs and it didn't drop. My guess is it's about 4% or less chance of getting one to drop (1 out of 25-30 runs). When you think about the cost of getting a Ceres (for example) leveled up and evolved for an awakening, it would make sense for the Tama to a pretty...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I agree SteamOS is promising and exactly what's been needed for a long time (hopefully the hardware can help accommodate their vision). I was taking issue with Ut saying there's no reason to buy a console other than a shiny new toy. I agree with the rest of his post.

    Who the fuck wants Windows running on their living room setup? There's a reason htpcs have never caught on. Saying the only reason to get consoles is to have a shiny new toy is completely wrong. The barriers of entry and usability are MILES between for consoles vs pcs.

    Blue Odin (3 x skill boost, 3 x blue damage) and Ceres (2 x recover bind) look like really good options. I put my first one on Blue Odin.

    She isn't that appealing to me with 0 RCV. There seems to be a big risk with her dungeon due to being forced into a high dmg team on round 1. I guess their goal was to not allow Luci to dominate one for a change. I'll probably skip it this time.

    Not to mention there's no reason to fully shut it down everytime. I put my mechanical drive gaming system on sleep and it takes just a few seconds to come up with everything I kept open ready to go.

    I'm sad to see the light war dragon go away. Was so nice running it for 26k xp a few times a day. I must have run it 50 times over the past couple of weeks. The fire dragon dungeon and, of course, the collab dungeon are absolute shit xp. Good thing is I got an Echidna the first run so it has...

    50 stamina per feeder is insane (with virtually zero xp to show for it). Don't think I'll be hanging onto those.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    It's the "ultimate" or "busty" evo which is done through power up fusion by feeding specific mats. There's no indication in the game (that I'm aware of) of how to do it or whether it's available for each monster. Just look at PDX for all your good monsters and figure out whether they have one...

    I'm not sure how much of a nerf the twilight drake change really is. It's a buff for end game (in most cases) and sometimes a buff early game. Since you're usually trying to play it when you (and your opponent) have a lot of cards it used to often get silenced and was a cheap kill. The cost...

    The shame of it was the people who won instead of him. I would've been fine with him losing if halfway decent players had won in his place.

    I picked a hell of a place to pick the thread back up. I had to triple check which thread I clicked on to make sure something didn't go haywire. Of course, given the board's history I definitely shouldn't have been suprised.

    Ugh, I was bored to death watching that movie. AR looks seriously creepy... like he's artificially pale or something, looks like a walking corpse. It is very nice not having Margaret around. Wonder where the Capone/Van Alden thing is going?

    Breaking Bad

    Perfect song for the ending. To this day every time I hear Don't Stop Believin' I think of The Sopranos; I imagine it will be the same for Baby Blue with Breaking Bad. It was also cool that they had the Marty Robbins song playing (which I linked earlier) when he stole the Volvo.

    Breaking Bad

    Not sure what VG said but yeah it definitely seemed that way. In my theory the plan didn't dawn on him until he saw them on tv (which kind of goes against what I said about him going back due to the blue meth but I think he's going back for both after seeing the interview).

    Breaking Bad

    It's more likely that he is going back because of the blue meth but only because he doesn't want his name associated with it any longer. He wants Walt Jr to know that he actually stopped and isn't continuing to be the horrible person he's been.
