    I've thought that multiple times this past week. Who's fucking idea was it to reuse the same colors at the top end of the scale. Make the top end shit brown or something so we can at least make jokes about getting dumped on or something juvenile like that.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This just reminds me that ASOIAF autism is nothing new. Twenty years ago when GRRM first started using the name "Jeyne" there was all kinds of arguing over whether it was pronounced Jenny or Jane. Apparently it pissed old man george off enough that he made Reek say it out loud in a later book...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Ghost is actually the secretly legitimate heir to the wolf throne but his real name is Nymeria so to avoid confusion with Arya's wolf they decided to just cut his scenes.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm hoping the whole Aegon name is just the show writers being bad and picking an obviously Targ name. If that's Jon's real name in the books it makes even less sense considering the "first" Aegon survived and is also contending for the throne. Has the show ever named Rhaegar's two dead kids?

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    So yes, the boxer won a boxing match, but as a 80-20 mma to boxing fan Mayweather's win did nothing to move me any more to the boxing side. If anything it just put more nails in the coffin for my boxing watching future.

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    I heard Conor loses his share of purse if he goes mma, but I think his mma stock would shoot over 9000 for all the mma only fans who find this king of fighting boring if he would just body slam him when he turns sideways

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yea, it's stuff like that that annoys me the most about this series. It would be fine if they just totally ignored logistics, raw materials, travel times, etc. but they'll include it as a plot point in one episode and then completely counter and/or ignore the idea in another episode. I don't...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Can you imagine if they would have cast Sheen as Euron. They could have included tigers hooked up to IV's on his ship and have him end his conversation with Jamie with "winning".

    You act like HBO isn't going to charge the same amount for the BluRays even when it's only 7 or 6 episodes.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Regarding the Arya/Jon reunion, I'm kind of curious how a faceless man would react to someone coming back from the dead. I have no expectation that the show writers would even address it and you could easily explain that Arya no longer subscribes to that religion but for all the emphasis that...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I thought I remembered last year after Ramsay died that the producers said there would be a new "bad" guy that would be hated even more than Ramsay ever was. It was hinted if not outright stated that Euron would be that guy. Am I totally misremembering this? I'm in the camp that thinks Euron...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I struggle with this too. I think the biggest problem, at least for our American attitudes of sex=bad, violence=ok, is that the first couple seasons really went overboard on the sex. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it when it aired but fuck if I want to explain plot points to my teenagers from...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I just don't see any way they can make Euron a bad enough guy to really care about. What made Ramsey bad occurred over seasons and was strong enough to turn the prior bad guy into a sympathetic character. They can certainly attempt to have Euron do worse things than Ramsey did but I don't...

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    I can totally respect not liking DC movies but I'm gonna need you to take back the gay comment sir. There was nothing gay about this movie. Even in my imagined deleted scene of Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright tutoring Gal on Clio's Treatises on Bodily Pleasure it still wasn't gay.

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    Saw this last night and enjoyed it. I am curious about the future of the DCEU though. It seems like all the DC heroes are too powerful without obvious limitations so any believable villain will have to get absurdly powerful. Which of the suicide squad would even last 10 seconds in a fight...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If GRRM really subscribes to Chekov's theories than it's no wonder he's having problems finishing the series. There's literally thousands of "guns" sitting out there needing a final purpose. edit add: I think Gendry's purpose is truly finished. He served the dual purpose of showing that true...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Interesting theory. It's reasonable to me to assume Cersei wasn't always as polished a cold hard bitch so not killing the child is in the realm of possibilities. I would have a problem if that is the direction the show goes though as Gendry has been non existent for a couple of years. He...

    If HBO doesn't get this done they suck cock by choice. I'd be more than willing to accept some ancillary cast changes and/or omissions as long as Ian and Tim return.

    From my own part time playing and from looking at what others are doing on youtube and whatnot this game really has a circular progression. You joke about not knowing what electric mines do but after spending games optimizing all of your advanced tech you'll think "I wonder if I could do that...

    One of my co-workers recommended this after we were talking about our kids playing Stardew Valley. A couple of days of minimal sleep and piss poor work performance later and this gets a double thumbs up from me. I looked at some videos when I started and was totally confused but I think just...

    RIFT

    If you were a founder and/or purchased the vanilla box there's a good chance you have quite a bit of the game unlocked even if you haven't touched it since then. You get loyalty credit for every $ you've spent so if you bought the original box and subbed a couple of months you'll have things...

    The progression that didn't obsolete itself every expansion/patch and the community are my fondest memories. As a guy who hates voice comm in games I also miss useful and entertaining zone/guild/group chat.

    Survivor

    They (the producers) absolutely know what the votes are during the final tribal. I'm pretty sure Probst has said if it's a tie they would revote or whatever on the spot. That way the airing of episodes and confessionals wouldn't unfairly sway a revote.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's what I don't get about this new scheme. If you can't ever out-level content then what's the point. Just gate the raids behind some attunement or key quest that is approximately the same time commitment as what leveling would take. Add catchup mechanics for alts/late comers. Boom...

    Survivor

    If the rumored 3rd medevac is true I kinda hope it's Tai and he takes both idols home with him. Super idol is just too powerful imo especially when there were three idols in play originally. Just the threat of it is enough to cause alliances to turn on themselves as they all go into individual...

    Survivor

    I think others have mentioned it before in these threads but I really would like to see some ponderosa type videos of the school yard picks. They'll give 5+ minutes of airtime to the individual reward winner picking a friend to join them but totally skip that dynamic in the mid game.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I couldn't give two shits about the cloak or ring once the next expansion drops, take those out whenever if you want to keep their mystique. Removing the quest lines that provide a majority of the continuity of the expansion is just dumb though. You might as well just remove the raid zones...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For what it's worth, I run all the gold naval missions on several alts without the oil rig. Usually get a couple oil reward GR missions per day which is enough to keep things running. I'm sure I could make more by doing all the treasure missions but fuck grinding rep on alts. As far as the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    My guess is that the number of people who got the WoD Strider was way less than the panda one because fishing is a pita, especially when there are other easier ways of getting fish mats. By making a strider only useable in its own expansion they add extra incentive to do the fishing grind.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The problem right now is that nothing competes with the mission tables for gold/effort. Your best bet for the 5-7 months remaining in WoD is to level alts to 100. Whatever you could have farmed in the time it takes to level an alt will be surpassed by what that alt generates daily with minimal...

    There isn't much money to be made actually making anything that any of the professions make.

They are also...
