    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    I think wolves of the calla was still fairly decent, but after that the books went downhill fast. if the author basically apologizes for the ending in advance, that seems to me as a huge red flag, indicating he wasn't happy with what he wrote but didn't want to bother to change it. the whole...

    Yes he was Marten Broadcloak and the man in black too. But not the crimson king.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Yeah they were revised after the last book. I wonder if they'll make a movie of the last book, and if they'll have king playing himself, and if he'll also apologize for the ending just before it ends, as in the book.

    Fallout 4

    True, looks basically like New Vegas with some enhanced graphics mod. Also seems like civilization is taking hold more and more. Less apocalyptic wasteland and more steampunk dystopia or something.

    yeah the ending of the series felt pretty lacklustre.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Good movie overall, although the ending felt kind of lackluster. interesting thing about "the endless salt" or whatever, that supposedly stretches on forever. would that mean that the oceans have somehow evaporated or greatly diminished.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    163-2 now. The bad reviews just saying that it's just action and cheap special effects.

    Science Ethics and Racism in Drug Enforcement Thread

    Unfortunately, there is a biological basis for race.http://time.com/91081/what-science-s...-and-genetics/. It's social scientists who pretend there isn't one because it's not a socially acceptable thing to say, usually. That's true, there is actually no divide between the sciences in as such...

    At the moment we can't devise mathematical models to predict the total sum of the subnuclear interactions in a biological population to the predict the future behaviour of the population. In the future this may change. The natural sciences are what truly explain the world. Social sciences didn't...

    Fallout 4

    I really liked the overarching storyline of dead money, old world blues and lonesome road with elijah, ulysses, the couriers etc. felt like a really strong complement to the main story of NV. honest hearts felt like kind of stand offish compared to the others.

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Wasn't that adressed in some of the old comics/books? That the galaxy seems to go in cycles of Jedi/Sith rule, and that the balance of the force is shifting between these two. Thus Anakin really did bring balance to the force in that a cycle of Jedi rule ended.

    Interstellar (2014)

    valid points. 4/10 for me. Too much sappyness. when the "message" from the bookshelf was "STAY", i figured it would be one of the characters sending the messages. also why did he have to sneak out to go find amelia in the end? why wouldn't the people of earth have sent fleets of ships there...

    StarCraft 2

    so basically it seems to me that it's all gearing towards making the game faster and more spectator friendly. so build orders will be what determines a game pretty fast.

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Swatting: Seriously, this is a thing??

    How would you expect someone to react when a bunch of shouting cops rush in with weapons drawn? ? i would think most people get quiet and obedient pretty fast. not like in movies or cartoons where everyone starts shouting.

    Good Anime Movies

    The place promised in our early days (Kumo no Muko, Yakusoku no Basho) was decent movie as far as anime sci-fi goes. really well animated and drawn. princess mononoke and grave of the fireflies are also pretty good.

    so women who try to change from tattooed bad-boys they sought in their youth are fundamentally different to many guys who want to change partners from make-up-wearing party-girls they found attractive when they were younger, to more mature women? perhaps it just is that both sexes find mature...

    I think this is really all that needs to be said, not just on relationships but most things in life. Not just for men but for women as well. If you're not getting out what you want from an investment, or can see a probable future where you do, then it's on you for continuing to invest in it...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    By far the best marvel-related movie. Good pacing, fun space-opera style, with some good emotional moments too, like when star-lord is about to grab gamoras hand at the end, and the 80s/90s music works as a nostalgic tool. Far better than their "real" superhero stuff. There is of course many...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    The first movie was pretty good, it follows the story fairly well still. The desolation of smaug is when the filler and changes really become apparent. The whole love-triangle thing and smaug chasing the dwarves was just the worst.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think this is the depressing reality of it all. Intelligence might have arisen many times at many places during the long age of our galaxy, but no-one ever makes it to a galaxy-spanning space empire, because they all inevitably wipe themselves out.
