    How to lose your business in 22 seconds.

    Nobody above the age of twelve is truly innocent. We have all done fucked up shit in our lives. If you mean civilians, then say civilians. Millions of civilians die each day, it's part of life. 9/11 was terrible because of the way people died. They suffered, spent several minutes breathing...

    Look at the traditional 52 card deck. There are nearly a hundred different games you can play with, all relatively simple; with certain games like poker having several layers of meta-game. I've played probably 10 million hands of poker, more than any live player could play in 5 lifetimes, and...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Doesn't matter if Diablo 4 is announced or not. It's going to suck ass. Blizzard is not the same company that it was back in 2003. All of the talent got filthy rich from WoW and retired/left/moved on/got promoted.

    The Russian Woodpecker (2015)

    [/MOVIE][/CONTAINER] Don't pay any creed to the 96% Fresh rating on RT or any critic's review that gives this film praise. It fucking sucks. The "super crazy yet plausible conspiracy theory" isn't plausible at all, it's only super crazy. It's not even that entertaining to explore. Total...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    WoW vanilla was the best, with all of the expansions up to Ghostcrawler's departure being acceptable. Now that Ghostcrawler is gone, WoW has really taken a shit and hasn't recovered. All of the level scaling, rares, and Legion bullshit really doesn't add to the end-game gameplay at all. It's...

    The Moral Superiority Thread: How much better are Vegans?

    Cows likely contribute more to climate change than all of the automobiles and power plants in the world via their methane release.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Uh, there's also Elemental Shaman. They are pretty damn good supports as well. Can spec to Resto if you want. Good damage and the best healing in the game.

    Television really is taking the wind out of movies. I can't remember a single recent movie that has been good as some of the series that we're now seeing on television. It's just a much better medium; the studios get far more bang for their buck as they can get a lot more footage per set or...

    Making a good MMO is mostly knowing how to balance the limited resources you have. Making the most of what you have to work with. Look at Ultima Online. Came out in 1997, had mounted combat, the best economy in any online game, a market for rares, the best housing in any mmorpg, and so many...

    I don't think action combat has any place in an MMORPG as it even it gets repetitive. Even Black Desert's combat got boring after a while, and they did a fantastic job with the animations and combat responsiveness. What hope does this game have? Combat responsiveness is terrible, animations...

    Game designers is such a worthless fucking job title, as there's no education to become a game designer. It's basically a self-given title/profession, and the people who design games usually shouldn't because they lack creativity. Reading the resume of these guys really turns me off. It's a...

    GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 announced available May 27th

    I have a 970GTX and it runs everything on max completely fine. I never go below 55 fps. Why would I shell out money for one of these video cards? No game in the next five years is likely to bring my computer to its knees. We've reached a point where graphics are being held back by artists...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Unless they're going to construct worlds out of CGI, there are only so many settings for planets based on our own habitats. You have forest, jungle, desert, mountains, etc. Plains (typical North American landscape) and Desert are the two cheapest to film on. Jungle would involve sending the...

    Anthony Hopkins has to be one of the most unique actors in Hollywood. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can play a Hopkins type character, except Hopkins. It doesn't matter if he's playing a deranged serial killer, or the king of Asgard, he's got this quality where he comes off as slightly insane...

    I've made a living from gambling for the last 14 years. My average hourly rate used to be nearly $250/hr, now it's around $80/hr where I play, but that's poker. Playing against the house is fucking dumb though. Every time you bet $100 in a slot machine, pretend it costs you $4. That's how it...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Mind Blast's hotbar icon looks so much like a bottlecap or a cork. I was the first priest to hit 60 worldwide and played for about two years without ever realizing that was a bloodshot eye. It looked like the top of a wine bottle in cloth to me and I never questioned it.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    All of my friends who bought Legion, all of them, are railing on it very, very hard and I'm reconsidering playing. 1. PvP gear has no progression. Before you could stack stamina as a healer since a lot of healing went to overhealing. You could use custom gems. Different trinkets, and so...

    And my god, the Warcraft movie was literally one of the worst movies I've seen in nearly a decade. I swear I could write a better script in less than five hours. I don't see how these people get positions directing these $100m movies. The actors were very visibly trying not to laugh as they...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Overwatch is a mediocre game at best. If it didn't have Blizzard's name and marketing, it would have disappeared into irrelevance. Legion isn't as good as you think it is either. I don't think Blizzard has produced anything of quality in a very, very long time, with Diablo 3 being the first...

    How can you demand war reparations for an unjust offensive war?

    It's a sad fact that the Iraq War was completely unnecessary and unjust. Our reasons for invading were all fallacious, and we can't spin it around to it being a "humanitarian war" as that's bullshit. We've never been involved in a war for humanitarian reasons. If anything we brought untold...

    9/11/2001 - Where were you when Bush knocked down the towers?

    A sign of great intellect is being able to sift through facts and determine what is fact and what is disinformation, or erroneous. A government that can't get water to the Superdome within 5 days is not capable of a large scale government conspiracy. It would just take one person within the...

    I bought a 335i for about 47 grand. Modded the chip and it had about 390hp, did a 0-60 in under 5s. Loved the car. BMW realized the 335i, with the n54 twin turbo engine, was as fast, or faster, than the m3, but half the price. So they modded the n55's turboes down, chunked the n54 altogether...

    Ah, Shaman bitching. Wouldn't be WoW without that! I'm thinking about buying it again and I heard Shaman were in a really, really good place right now and one of the best classes. Best healer, with Enh and Ele being in a good place as well. I main a Shaman, so is that not true?

    Preserving human life is not the job of the United States military. I honestly don't give a fuck how many civilians they bomb when the war is just, because those civilians are usually supporting your enemy. The job of the US Armed Forces is to defend the United States and its interests. I'm...

    I kind of like the business model of the new tech schools. One of them reportedly charges almost no tuition at sign-up, but they turn around and take a % of your paycheck for X amount of years, or charge the company a fee for hiring you. Gives them incentive to give you a good education.

    So many people are getting autoimmune diseases that it's kind of unreal. Nobody really knows why, but even since the 50's rates have jumped up over 10-50 fold. It was almost unheard of prior to industrialization. Either people got them at the same rates as today, and the people who got sick...

    Seriously? Do you know anything about the 30's-40's? Sanctions and embargoes traditionally have been 'acts of wars' and we've been using them against other nations for decades. The Japanese were being strangled by the oil embargo in 1941, so in their minds the United States had already...
