    Man of Steel

    Calling what Superman did in this movie genocide is kinda like me blowing up a sperm bank with nobody working inside and calling it mass murder. The first scene of the movie demonstrates that Kryptonians can make babies the old fashioned way, they just think it's gross, and want to do it the...

    Man of Steel

    Oh just for reference, the Amazing Spider-man got a 66 on metacritic, 7.2 from users. Is this movie worse than Amazing Spider-man?

    Man of Steel

    Haven't seen it yet, but the user review scores on IMDB and Metacritic are way out of synch with the critic ones. (Critic: 55% MC, 57% RT, Users: 8.8 MC, 8.4 IMDB) Although it's just the first day, and early viewers are more likely to be positive about a movie they're excited for in the first...

    Actually playing Starcraft 2

    Also yeah Rombo, getting back into diamond is going to be a little tricky for me as well. Haven't nearly researched enough HOTS, but my zvz is still decent so I'm just stuck at the plat/diamond borderline.

    Actually playing Starcraft 2

    Hatch first is a great way to shut down 2 base timings at the risk of just losing to a sneaky probe. So it's a risky build, pool first basically protects you from all cheese but makes those 2 base timing defenses really tight. In silver all their 2 base timing attacks are going to suck, so...

    StarCraft 2

    After watching Innovation vs RorO game 3, makes me think Hellbat biological property is going to get nerfed sometime in the future.

    Well plus she can afford the best implants money can buy as well.

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    First was the Celts, basically the earlier description of them is accurate. Incidentally Gauls were Celts too, so named because they lived in Gaul. Angles and Saxons were Germanic tribes which colonised Briton in the early middle ages and pushed the celts to the perhiphery. England is...

    I will surprised if a single non-korean player qualifies through this.

    Man of Steel

    Could be evolution or technology, Spiegel and Shuster weren't exactly clear about it. After a few years, they retconned it to being due to Kryptonians evolving on a planet with a much higher gravity. Either way, both are kind of actually reasonable at explaining super strength. Having his...

    Bioshock Infinite

    This is the type of game where it's kind of hard to say it's something other than a piece of interactive art. If you were just going to judge it on gameplay alone (and there's plenty of games with pure gameplay and no storyline) and the art direction was browny brown downtown Jakarta, it...

    Evil Dead Remake

    The main thing which bothered me about this remake (and it was a pretty good flick altogether), was that the demon's themselves have a different story than in the original Evil Dead. In the original, you kind of have the impression that the demons are just out there constantly living in the...

    The Video Thread

    Had to look it up, because it seems unlikely. For one thing to cut through another thing, it has to be harder than the thing it's cutting. So we can go look at which is harder, a European blade or a Japanese one. Bunch of hardnessess of European Middle Ages to Renaissance Era swords...

    Pope Benedict XVI resigns

    The last guy was the inquisitor (he was the prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which is what they renamed the Roman Inquisition), this guy is just a Jesuit.

    StarCraft 2

    The char missions for me were hard on brutal, (went char first), not because of any risk of losing battles but of running out of resources. Straight ling bane against SP tanks is painful on the pocketbook!

    Man of Steel

    You don't say? Pre-crisis Superman was amusingly powerful.

    Man of Steel

    I'll just recommend here, I recently watched the, "Superman vs. The Elite" DC animated feature, and it's great. It's based on the storyline in, "What's so funny about truth, justice, and the american way?".

    Pope Benedict XVI resigns

    Oh no doubt, and the Byzantines were also responsible for keeping a lot of knowledge alive as well. I'm just not advocating that the Catholic church is some black hole in history which destroys all advancement in its path. It was pretty horrible though.

    Pope Benedict XVI resigns

    I'm an atheist and don't even think that. Who was copying all those books keeping classical philosophy and drama alive during the early middle ages, Catholic monks. Who basically invented the university, the catholic church. From 800 - 1400, the catholic church was the only stable structure...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Fucking Galileo proved this shit over 400 years ago!! Goddamn it, might as well have a bunch of people figuring that the sun revolves around the earth and all those newfangled ideas like the fact that Saturn has rings on it.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Ever since I got back their decision to lock rep with dailies alone has bugged the hell out of me. I've never really liked them all that much since BC, tbh.

    StarCraft 2

    The Protoss death ball was never really solved other than "my Broodlords with fungal defense are better". Without BL, infestors + stuff doesn't really cut it, the only other possible way to beat it was a weird ultra+bane drop+infestor surround with quick transition into something else because...

    Evil Dead Remake

    That AICN article mentions how they can't use the name "necronomicon" because of rights issues. How does that work when it was blatantly copied from Lovecraft in the first place?

    2013 Oscar Nominations

    Most of the Academy is over 40, and over half are actors. This is why Chicago won in 2002, and Moulin Rouge was nominated the year before. Fuck actors.

    StarCraft 2

    Trade the infestor for scourge IMO. Would make the pointless corrupter more pointless, but it would basically makes going colossus on the P side very risky which means zerg can go hydra. Also can trade with vikings to protect a BL army vs Terran but at least gives them a shot to micro in with...
