    I'm guessing this is to allow for expansion/contraction between the cut areas?

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    I can't believe people are still arguing this. The original question is, sadly, not the Monty Hall problem because the motivations of the game host are not spelled out. If he will always reveal the $1 box if it was not chosen and then he reveals the middle box then you should obviously switch...

    Pathfinder - Pen and Paper RPG Books

    If you want to run Wild Shape get VERY familiar with the rules first. It is not like 3.5 where you turned into an exact physical replica of the monster. Now it just functions like the Beast Shape spell so you get the natural attacks that the monster has, but you are using your physical stats +...

    Pathfinder - Pen and Paper RPG Books

    The prerequisites are just that. You need them. Yes, you can use a shield as an offhand weapon and this feat makes it really good since you usually have a penalty when doing so.

    Man of Steel

    I was impressed that the Sears that they destroyed looked exactly like the one where I grew up in Kansas in the 80's. The license plate on the bus was also authentic 80's Kansas.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They have 3 cloth classes, 3 leather, 3 plate classes. Only 2 mail classes though. Making a third mail class would make armor drop %'s work out better.

    Book of the Month - Merged

    I really liked it, it is a fun and fast read. But IMO, you could read The Passage by Justin Cronin, a bigger trilogy, and get a better story.

    Wednesday nights at your local game store they should be running D&D Encounters which is pretty much the Learn To Play experience. If anyone is interested in getting into tabletop RPG I would recommend that. Another option would be to join your local Pathfinder Society game. But first, yeah...

    Breaking Bad

    After Walt killed Crazy 8, he started eating his sandwiches with the crusts off like him. After Gus died he got a Volvo, like Gus. Walt keeps the eyeball of the pink bear and Gale's copy of Leaves of Grass. He collects from those he kills.

    War with Syria

    I imagine a superpower is a nation that can put forth some claim towards hegemony. The USSR could during the Cold War, but that is really not the case today.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Kaladims backstory is pretty awesome when you get to the second half, when he starts getting screwed over in flashbacks as well. In fact the entire book is an exercise in how much we can fuck over one character.

    If you're sick of "events" check out some of the new 52 lines like Batwoman. They skirt the edge of the mainstream but the art and plot is really pushing new boundaries.

    See above post. Boost tourism in several ways. Get Open Borders; get a trade route with the civ; get the same ideology; send a diplomat to them.

    Civilization V: Brave New World

    One thing I just noticed in my recent playthrough is the importance of grabbing artifacts with your archaeologists. Then you need to take those art/ifacts and place them in certain combos in the museum to get a theme bonus. This boosted my tourism by a ton in the early modern era. Now that I...

    One thing that impressed me in a subtle way is the rig Damon is wearing is asymmetrical. The rough, wired, cheap tech look is what any director would have done, but the way they chose to hang it off Damon makes you feel like it is a weight and an intrusion.

    The AI doesn't do a great job of building AA defences, but Air units only really take off if you've got Brandenburg + Heroic Epic to start with 60 exp and the repair every turn upgrade. America is a bad ass because of this and their unique bomber.
