    I hope Sean Bean kept Ice, that would be awesome.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, my personal theory with Sansa was that the Hound would eventually come to serve as a replacement for her direwolf. Not sure how that would happen now though, all things considered.

    This thread has really made me miss ND. If my wife and I hadn't committed to staying near our parents while our little girl grows up, I would be going all in on convincing her to move out to Fargo. I've lived all over the country and I am not certain I've ever enjoyed a place more than I...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Isn't there a scene or two where she kind of wargs into the Hound? Where she is comforting him right after Blackwater, maybe? I remember there being a kind of tender moment and getting the sense that, well shit, she warged into him a sec.

    If I recall, RIFT was this way too in the beginning; the hardmode dungeons were damn near impossible with a pug. Hell, they were damn near impossible with anyone. Eventually though, they caved and that shit got watered down. I wonder if these guys will stick to their guns and keep the...

    The joke is on those fuckers if they were mailing me, I am still on a friend trial and can't receive mail. Well, maybe the joke will end up being on me if it auto-returns mail and looks like I was mailing them back, hah.

    It's almost SWTOR-ish; you have your solo quests all over, with a sprinkling of group ones here and there where you pop into a group, kill a quick mob, and move on.

    Star Trek Online

    I have a ton of fun mainly just flying around, doing doff missions, random borg alerts, and solo queuing for the handful of elite STFs that generally always succeed (crystalline entity, Infected:the conduit, the undine infiltration), or spending time in the dyson sphere ground battleground...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Which I find hilarious because he is, in essence, going to allow HBO to finish his work due to his utter failure to produce his story in a timely or reasonable manner. I have already resigned myself to the fact that I am going to watch the end play out years before I am actually going to be...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Hell, he is hinting it might be 8 books now, he is going to go full Jordan and just keep stretching that shit out until a rare disease kills him before he finishes. It is truly unbelievable that he continues to just blow off finishing these damn books; they are his only worthwhile legacy.

    Star Trek Online

    I've been enjoying this recently. It is pretty close to perfect for a casual type player - fast "endgame" encounters, fairly easy to get to a decent level of badassery (and very high levels of badassery are possible for the hard core), the whole duty officer system so you have that feeling of...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    If you are talking about the crusader passive, I think that only affects weapons that have holy damage, the skill doesn't matter. I *think*, someone smarter can probably clarify that. So that is one instance where the elemental damage on your weapon matters. About the only one.

    What did you just read?

    Just read Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy and 2 of the 3 standalones after (halfway through the 3rd now). Got sick of fricking D3 and went on a reading binge this past week. Really enjoyed them; great characters and a neatly told story. Thought one or two of his characters kind of went...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This being HBO, Bran is 100% headed to tree sex with Meera Reed, a la the original Evil Dead. I think Bran will end up being the general that brings everyone together when the shit hits to fan and winter comes in earnest; he ends up in the unique position of quite possibly being able to be...

    Why was the Civil War fought?

    Because our deified Founding Fathers, the men who wrested America from the clutches of the evil King, who shat political philosophy before breakfast and wrote the sequel to the Bible - The Constitution, were unable to decide the issue of slavery. Well, they could have, but then America would...

    The Baja Blast Thread

    I have fond memories of this stuff during my WoW days. Used to always get a mega-large one, chug a quarter of it, then fill it back up with Captain Morgan's original spiced and be ready for a night of drunken raiding. I am not certain I remember what it tastes like without a generous dollop of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Perhaps Coldhands was with the rest of them - sleeping, imprisoned, whatever they were doing for all those years when nothing was happening with the walkers. The books hint several times that they were woken or disturbed by Mance Rayder and the wildlings, who went digging where they shouldn't...

    Gotta agree with you here; Littlefinger is in the process of creating the instrument of his own downfall. The North remembers.

    I think my little one was around 1 when she started in with Dada, and it was clear that she knew what it was and referring directly to me. That whole first 18 months is so blurry now that my timeline is kind of off. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed because I was trying to get her...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't know, I think he has more influence than all that. He might not be dictating exactly what is happening, reading and okaying every script or whatever, but these are all his hand-picked people creating this shit, and I think it is fair to assume that he is involved at least somewhat in...

    That's where GRRM, the penultimate troll, hurts every butt he can get his hands on. Book reader butts, show watching butts...GRRM is an equal opportunity penetrator of nerd asses.

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

    Not much different, really, than what the Marvel movies are doing. Pretty much the same damn thing, actually, and it is working very well for them; it's a copycat world. I am wondering in my mind if we are going to get some kind of mish-mash of EU stuff in this; chaotic mess of New Jedi...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I thought that as well, though there is a quote in Dance where the child of the forest tells Bran that Coldhands was killed by the Others long ago. Seeing as how Benjen has only been lost a year or two, and the child of the forest is hundreds of years old, it would seem to discount Benjen...

    I think that, much to their sorrow, they are going to find that if they were aiming for a younger crowd they screwed the pooch by not making the game a Minecraft clone. That's what that demographic plays now.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Screw Foote, Maximus all the way. Of course, I would probably think much differently if the loot gods had handed me a half dozen Footes over the last few weeks as opposed to a half dozen Maximuses. Maximii? Whatever. Still effective enough and 'essentially' no builder with...

    As a pre-9/11 tanker, I laughed at all my guys who took PT seriously. It was like, whatever, run as fast as you goddamn want, the only place I am running to is...uh...wait, I'm on a fucking tank, I drive past people who are running and laugh at them.

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    Well in Beck's defense (WTF? Did I just fucking type that?!?!) he was warning about this guy from the beginning. Everyone else though went all in as you said, though it is too far from the elections now for any real price to be paid. The American attention span is like 5 minutes, not 5 months.

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    Even Glenn Beck is saying this guy is unhinged and people need to stay the hell away from him. When you are too fucked up for Glenn Beck, that tells you everything you need to know.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I feel that there is absolutely no way the reality of the books is going to live up to that analysis and those expectations, hah. Jesus man, I am a huge fan of this series and really all of GRRM's work, but that is taking it to a level that is too weird even for me.

    I always thought that might be a reflection of how Martin thinks medieval England/Europe viewed shit like China and the Middle East. For quite awhile there, they were far more advanced than Europe in many ways, and that probably seemed like a crazy magic wonderland to the average person...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I think an even bigger complaint should be that there a handful of items that are just so much better than anything else that having them makes a complete world of difference for your character. Like can anything else, for a crusader, say, match a Gryfalcon's + Jekanbord? The effect a good...

    I still trust in JJ to make it right. He may not be the kind of nerd that Jackson was with LOTR, but he is nerd enough to not fuck this up. I can't wait to be blinded by the lens flare.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The Brotherhood was anti-Lannister from the start; they all probably knew who Cat was. When Beric gave his (un)life to bring her back, it was probably just natural to switch allegiance to her. She was Lady Stark, after all, one of the the most important women in both the North and the...

    I had Lejina's A (and I believe B) installed, cord hung out the front of my car's grille. They will probably brief you on where to go to get this done when you arrive; the mechanics around Grand Forks will be used to the constant stream of new people coming in and probably do most of their...

    I lived down the highway from Grand Forks in Fargo for several years. Some things: - Whatever you end up driving, get an engine block warmer put in and never park it overnight in the winter without it being plugged in. It gets cold - like, it will go below freezing sometime in late...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, I always felt that Margaery's status in the books was kind of left up in the air. Is she a Cersei-level conniving bitch, or a genuinely good heart? Or both? I could never quite pin her all the way down; Martin leaves her true intentions pretty vague. The show makes it extremely clear...
