    Torture-Worst You Can Imagine.

    Anything involving the combination of hot metal and genitalia.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Wasn't it confirmed somewhere that the Knights of Ren were a splinter-group from Luke's student base lead by Kylo? Although that raises the question of where the fuck they were during TFA. His coming off as so weak imo just comes down to narrative necessity - they needed a way for Rey to...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    There are a ton of problems with the whole Darth Jar Jar thing, but first and foremost, wouldn't that be breaking the whole rule of 2 thing? And we're supposed to believe that he was constantly busting out dark side force powers without two Jedi noticing a thing? Otherwise - he acts like an...

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    There's a DLC which gives you something which looks akin to the rifts from D3, going off the trailer (I haven't played it, but it's only $5). But otherwise yeah, not randomized. It's still a great fucking game though, amazing class system and I love the crap out of the Arcanum meets Warhammer...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Yeah I think "trained as a child before she was dumped on Jakku" is the most likely explanation, but it still isn't entirely adequate. Why doesn't she remember the training if it's so deeply ingrained? How did she develop such proficiency in such a short time at such a young age? Why the fuck...

    Haven't noticed any modding, which I figure is the mark of a good mod, approves all around.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

    ^ All I could think about watching that trailer is 'man it's time for a Monkey Island replay." Well that and the CGI looked kinda shoddy. The pirate monsters looked badass, but the opening shot, especially the ship, seemed really off to me.

    Sounds like the tavern music from a 90's RPG.

    Should I lie on my business school application and say I'm gay?

    Keeping your foreskin clean takes literally 10 seconds a day, anyone who doesn't do it is gross enough that you wouldn't want to go near their junk anyway. Wouldn't it be more like a beef curtain situation - ie. by the time you know the difference, you're already committed?

    Yeah train scene was crazy. Just caught up on the first 4 eps and really enjoying it so far,

    Should I lie on my business school application and say I'm gay?

    Do it. Apparently you can suck hundreds of dicks and yet not be gay: LGBT Magazine Calls Peter Thiel ‘Not Gay’ Because He’s a Trump-Supporting Republican , so presumably you can be gay without sucking a single one. And if you keep up the act, you can let chicks try the whole "turn you straight"...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    I could get behind a Starcraft MMO with a PvP based endgame - DAoC in space style. I'd eat that shit up then shove my fingers down my throat to empty my stomach so I could eat some more.

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Yeah I definitely wouldn't want "World of Diablo," but eventually someone is going to do something unique enough, well enough, to revive the genre and bring it forward, the way WoW revolutionized it in 2004. Not sure if Blizzard is the right company for that though, since their forte has always...

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    If you're doing the cutting edge group rift farming then yeah, it's not great. But just going back every season to spend a week levelling and gearing a new character with a friend or two is pretty fun now, although it will never touch on the first 2 games. Was kinda doomed from the beginning...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    You fantasize about a Diablo MMO and the first thing that comes to mind is raid encounters? I'm not a fan of the idea of a Diablo MMO as it is, but a Diablo MMO with raids would make me throw up in my mouth a little. Even in WoW they felt really out of place to me, and one of my biggest issues...

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    Impossible to pick one, but if I had to put together a list it would probably start with GW2 or WAR. DAOC is all time favorite MMO, and the fact that nobody has managed to put together a worthwhile game based on that design since really bums me out. GW2 especially looked great at first, but...

    Azrayne's drug geek thread

    I'm still waiting for the RC version of Thalidomide to emerge. It's actually pretty astounding how relatively benign most of the RC's have been up until this point (although I'm sure a bunch of people used as guinea pigs in China have been seriously fucked up testing new products for the...

    I don't keep track of the DNM scene much anymore, but I remember hearing that one of the current markets actually banned the sale of synthetic opioids entirely. Not sure if it was one of the major ones, but it's still interesting. If things keep up at this rate, there might be a move for the...

    Sorry about the double up, wouldn't let me edit this into my last post, and this is fucking amazing: The DEA is withdrawing a proposal to ban another plant after the Internet got really mad I knew that there was a bit movement to stop kratom from being scheduled, but I wouldn't have guessed...

    The Expanse

    Has there ever been a scifi show that wasn't a disappointment at launch, ratings-wise? They always seem to take at least a season or two to find their footing and spread through word of mouth. The Expanse is doing really well though - I keep hearing about it from people who'd never read the...

    I'm not going to get involved in some petty "I've seen more suffering than you," pissing contest, because it's meaningless. The first funeral, the first time waking up in a hospital bed, the first time watching a friend spiral into madness, the first time getting fucked over by someone you would...

    So a life ruined by alcohol is less ruined than a life ruined by cocaine because the government is, currently, in certain parts of the world which just happen to be the parts most of us here live in, cool with booze and cigarettes, but not with coke? Make up your mind - if your objection is...

    The Magicians

    Went back and read the book the other week, then decided to check out the second and third. They're not mind blowing, but the second in particular is a huge step above the first, so if you're bored waiting for S2, they're worth checking out. It left me really interested to see where they're...

    That's fucked. What the hell made them think anyone stood a chance of finding 4 other people to run an M+ with no loot?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So I was stupid and wasted my keystone on a PUG, now the fucking thing is depleted and apparently the only way to fix it is to get a group together to do a run which rewards absolutely no loot (ie. not going to happen). Is it possible to delete a depleted keystone and run a regular mythic to...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    I'd say it needs your full attention. You'll miss a lot if you just play it in the background, and probably have trouble keeping up with some of the subplots.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hi. But yeah I'm bummed out to priests in such a bad spot right now, because the basic design they've gone with seems really fun. I've been fucking around levelling one lately and I enjoy it a lot - both the visual design and the gameplay (feels a lot like the old warlocks, before they split...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Obviously it's hard to say for sure, but that's not how I remember it. I remember being excited because it was something other than MOP and it felt like a bit of a return to "classic warcraft stuff," that I really enjoying levelling for 2 days with friends, then getting very bored very quickly...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Buuuuuuullshit. One of the biggest complaints previous MMO players made about WoW at release was that it was too easy, catered to casual players and didn't have the challenge of games like EQ. It was a huge discussion for a long time. Either your memory is faulty or you were reading very...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    I think they're going for a "choose your own difficulty" type approach these days, with Mythic+ and the 4 raid modes. You could argue about whether it works or not - during vanilla I got frustrated with being forced to stay in my guild long past the point where I enjoyed playing with the people...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    Didn't we have this exact same conversation when WoW came out and everyone was whinging about how easy it was compared to it's predecessors? Not saying you don't have valid points, but all this "it's all built for casuals now, not like back in the day!" discussion gives me a pretty strong sense...

    Heh, very funny. Yeah I have a bunch of shit I still haven't done. I ran Court of Stars for the first time last night (I didn't use any guides going in, so I was a bit behind on the Nightfallen rep), I'm nowhere near finished with my crafting (which I'm actually finding interesting for the...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    It depends on how you view it. If you view the lore purely as a story, a linear narrative, then yeah it's nothing amazing for the most part (there are exceptions - the WC3 campaign was probably the only time I've felt emotionally invested in an RTS). It's mostly standard good v. evil stuff. But...
