    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    awesome show. I'd love to see a science show that discusses a particular, more current issue per episode and has someone working in the field to interview or assist with the explanation. Mike Rowe and Neil Degrasse Tyson should have a deathmatch to see who hosts it.

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    Yea, I've been recommending the film to my friends, but prefacing that with the fact that the beginning is completely wacky. He was a tv salesman for the army, and would be ridiculously famous, yet they expect us to believe no one knows him. I suspect the explanation for that got cut or the...

    Book Club Redux

    I liked that month. I read a bunch of them. I'm pretty good at reading them, and way less good at posting about them.

    MaddAddam [HBO] Darren Aronofsky (futuristic dystopian epic)

    I still haven't seen Noah, and I'm not familiar with those books, but I've enjoyed a lot of Aronofsky's work. I have high hopes. I'll probably download those books soon.

    Yea, that looks terrible. She's supposed to be asian too right? That doesn't look very asian.

    Veritas et Fortitudo is in better shape than MEIOU atm, but they're both pretty damn broken.

    Europa Universalis IV

    Some adjustments I like the change to how nationalism works a lot. I've hated "minimum" revolt risk shit for a while, and this puts a dent in that.

    Europa Universalis IV

    Yea, I played for a few hours. I can totally see the issue with rebels. They'll be nerfed somehow. Unless you're a hardcore military nation they'll be very frustrating. On the other hand I really love the change to religious unity being involved with tolerance. Makes me want to be very...

    White male totes ruled middle east. Can't forget about them crusades bro. We were being huge douchebags, by not letting the muslims conquer and shit on every bit of christianity in the area. Then you've got Alexander's conquest and the rule of his generals in the middle east, and the roman...

    Europa Universalis IV

    There is another set of less formatted notes covering details. "Annexing or Integrating another nation now costs 15 dip power per month, and takes 1 month per basetax."

    Europa Universalis IV

    A new xpac/dlc just released called wealth of nations. I don't have it yet, but it looks pretty sexy. Some of the changes are just part of the 1.6 patch, and some are activated with the dlc, but 1.6 is a pretty solid patch all around. I am wary of the changes to annexation/integration. I...

    Watch Dogs

    I thought the differences in the video were very acceptable. The retail version is much more vibrant, but some of that probably has to do with the poor image quality of the E3 recording. It seemed like the lighting in parts of the E3 version wasn't even all the way on.

    Star Wars: Stand Alone Movie (Not Episode 7)

    Mara Jade and Talon Karrde would be excellent characters for stand-alone movies. They would play into Han Solo/Boba Fett as well. Fadaar's suggestion for a mini-series is sexy. Having some kind of premium channel mini-series as a primer would be great. I didn't realize that the books are...

    Tropico 5

    Yea, I don't get what is going on with Kalypso. They seem to be treading water and doing some kind of Madden '90, '91, '92, '93, '94, etc. with their IP. Hopefully 5 changes that, but I expect the same.

    The Minority Report with Larry Wilmore (Colbert Report replacement)

    Health Care Thread

    Germany can't project power, that's not very super. We are the only superpower at the moment, but our star is falling, and the possiblity of a world hegemon may be going with it. And super/hyper power status is very dependent on its relative ability to actually control world politics. The...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    with the massive reduction in melee push, melee aren't near as bad to box anymore, but they are far more active than they used to be so the argument for auto attack laziness is moot. Boxing a zerker for heroic adventures is nice though. Lot of dark blues to decap, and with raid gear you decap...

    The issue with Florida is that we have a Tea Party Governor and a significant republican presence that is playing politics with the whole thing to try to turn the public against the democratic party's initiatives. In the case of stupid people it's working. Obamaphones are not a thing, and...

    Crusader Kings II

    I enjoy defensive holy wars. Good for vassal relations, prestige, faith, etc. Should be a trait you get for staving off a holy war a bit like crusader to develop relations amongst co-defendants. And I love letting them tear apart unruly vassals' holdings before reclaiming them.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Sanderson makes sure everything fits in a little box with a bow on top. Sometimes it's cool, but it becomes a bit too obvious in an epic like Stormlight.

    Kildrukaun's Prophecy - Progression server

    I'm not tired of Velious at all, and we'll be doing it a while. Keep in mind they're re-balancing the content in Luclin to be doable with fewer players. You could easily idle in Velious and/or Kunark until we figure out how to get to PoP. Play what's fun for you. What does frustrate me is...

    Knights Of Badassdom - (Dinklage - Glau) finnally being released, but with drama

    meh Dinklage needed more scenes, and it should have had more normality. The first 1/3 is solid. It would be much better without the supernatural stuff that dominates the rest of the movie. It transformed from "Role Models" to "Your Highness", and I didn't dig it.

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    What is population like on FV compared to CT, Bertoxx, Luclin, Bristlebane, etc.? Back when I played before FV was ranking maybe half what they did on the everquest.com server status deal. Now I see it ranking higher, but is that reflected by a density at the high end in-game?

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I got invited to the beta a bit ago, but so far I'm not really impressed at the extreme low end. I replaced my gear like 3 times in 7 levels and movement feels gluey. I'd really rather not be tossing my equipment quite that rapidly. It doesn't make me feel like any of it matters at all, or...
