    Interstellar (2014)

    No, he couldn't. What he saw in the room in the past is only and specifically what he did in the Tesseract in the future, no more or less. In the Tesseract, he is able to mimic the 5D nature of the Bulk beings in a 3D space; its all taking place in the 5D "now". The actions he took in the...

    Interstellar (2014)

    Because from the 3D perspective you can't change the past, and from the 5D perspective, you don't have to because its all "now"; they don't need to loop. If there are 5D bulk beings, they *already* exist across all times, from our perspective, as they move through time without the need for...

    Interstellar (2014)

    But that's the point of loops: nothing changes. It's always that way. With a single timeline, the events in the "past" will happen the first time through, as it were, with the only difference from any other action is the causal agent from our perspective would be in the future. It's on the...

    Tell us your Mippo Tales

    In the early 90's, I was head of security at a nightclub in SW Louisiana. One of a number of famous acts to play the club, "Me So Horny" 2 Live Crew was coming to do a show, so the owner sent me to pick them up at the airport. Contrary what one would think, they were really nice guys, totally...

    From Ep. 2, Obi Wan knew Master Sifo Dyas, indicating in his call back to the Council that he had supposedly been dead more than 10 years.

    There are folks calling for this to fall one way or the other: As the people in the story are easily identifiable, either detain/arrest/charge them or call on this writer to recant, because wholly shit if this took place these guys need to go to jail, and if not, the writer needs to be run out...

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

    I thought it all came from Obi-Wan saying he fought with Anakin during "the Clone Wars", which is a kind of dumb 70's thing that gained a new life when Lucas tried to make sense of everything he said in the Prequels.

    Because due to the time dilation of the final swing around Gargantua to send Brand on to Edmund's planet, she was arriving there at about the same time Cooper was waking up on Cooper Station. The 90% comment was setting up the last exchange between Cooper and Amelia as they accelerated into...

    Interstellar (2014)

    As described by Kip Thorne, the anatomy of a "black hole" fairly complex. There is the event horizon, from where nothing escapes, everyone knows blah blah blah. Inside the black hole, no one knows but theoretical physicists speculate (listed by Thorne as an "educated guess" in the book" that...

    Interstellar (2014)

    There is no "loop"; there aren't any "run-throughs". Its just a single timeline. You are looking at it from a 3-D linear progression of causality. From the 5-D perspective, there isn't any "past" or "future". For the bulk beings, time to them is just like terrain for us that rises and falls...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Word of the street is that SW does something to distort Hulk which turns him against his allies; hence the view of crazy Banner riding home on the Quinjet in the teaser.

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    I keep intending to write posts blasting it, but I have enjoyed my first couple of games. There is a ton of good here, but it never comes together and it probably won't take long for the shine to come off. I have played a fair amount of it, though, for what it's worth. If you loved Civ 5, you...

    Wow, one thing in Bungie's favor: Being forced to do PvP for in the Invective Exotic Bounty has "allowed" me kicking and screaming to improve from a .5 or less k/d guy to constantly 1+ k/d per match. Fusion rifle + using the radar ftw; after a solid day of Crucible matches yesterday, I am maxed...

    The article was "funny" in the same way that the egg salad my German roommate used to make and leave out for days is funny. Which is to say, it stinks and will make you sick if you consume it. It isn't intended to be humorous at all, is completely in bed with the SJW crowd and has made each...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    It's ridiculous how this makes my saliva glands kick into overdrive 15+ years later. Like others, my best MMO memories were those first days and weeks leveling my first character. So much went into that voyage of discovery, the huge trees at Surefall Glade, the Bridge in the Karanas, HighHold...

    Robin Williams dead at 63...

    Any other obvious facts you want to get out of the way? You can feel "compassion" for anything. It only matters to the living; all of those people to whom Robin had a connection, and those people who loved and depended on him (not in a monetary but rather an emotional way). I don't mean this...

    ITT people romanticizing/excusing suicide. I never claimed to know what someone who commits suicide is going through, although I am not unfamiliar with manic/bi-polar/depressive issues from friends and family members. I have in my life have moments where I thought about ending it all, and I...

    Robin Williams dead at 63...

    If you couldn't tell, I have some personal drama relating to suicide. Cowardly probably isn't the right word, and suicide is in almost every instance irrational but at its core, its an ultimately selfish act. For years I had to watch on a daily basis people try to deal with the damage done to...

    Robin Williams dead at 63...

    You know, this is really cool. I do feel so sorry for Robin Williams in this; I loved and admired him as a stellar, once in a 50 year genius; his energy and style were so amazing. That said, I feel even more sorrow and compassion for his family. I have seen the effects of suicide first hand...

    Interstellar (2014)

    I have read the leaked script; if it makes it to film that way (and I imagine there are going to be changes in a number of areas), it will be this generations'2001. It's easily the most ambitious script I have ever read and am so excited to see it up on the big screen.

    Robin Williams dead at 63...

    Firstly, let me say this: Robin Williams was a genius and a comedic titan; no one burned as bright as he did in the first part of his career and his dramatic skills over time improved such that while he will probably never be considered a great actor, he turned in a number of stellar...
