    Haha. I haven't been able to force myself through much more of it, but I'm currently at a scene where she's at an "Arcane Anonymous" meeting. Fucking hell.

    Archer

    I found her really annoying and unfunny (and also the dude on the bodysuit with the organs on it - I assume he's some American celebrity? not sure what I was supposed to be laughing at or why he was in the episodes), but the voice acting specifically didn't seem to be the problem.

    Arrested Development

    Yeah I have to agree with the "watched all of S4 and it wasn't as good" crowd. Could have been if they'd stuck to the original structure of the show. Wonder if a fan edit could fix it? That would be a bit of an undertaking.

    ^ That's some great stuff mixed in with some crap. Personally if I had that selection available I'd grab the morphine, hydromorphone and ketamine, maybe the fentanyl and ativan since they're there anyway, and leave the rest. Meth is actually healthier than cocaine in a lot of ways. Certainly...

    No. No. Stop trying to bring the dead back to life, it doesn't work.

    Archer

    Just finished binging on S6, thought it was really good for the most part. They managed to get back to what makes the show good without rehashing the same jokes for another season (although the few callbacks were nice). Felt like the first few seasons in a lot of ways. Only thing I wasn't a...

    Versed is midazolam yeah? So it's a benzo, in the same class as xanax, valium etc. From what I remember reading it's one of the more hypnotic ones, the ones they prescribe to knock people out like nitrazepam or temazepam, not the ones like clonazepam or lorazepam which people take during the day...

    acidfly summed it up pretty well - If you want my massive rambling version instead -most stimulants work by either releasing, or inhibiting the reuptake of, 3 chemicals in your brain: serotonin, dopamine and epinephrine/adrenaline (and drugs like MDMA which aren't really stimulants in the...

    missed this question: People call them wheel filters, they look like this: except the ones we got were different colors depending on their size (eg. I used the 0.22 micron filters, which were blue). They were handed out free at the needle exchange (although I've heard they since started...

    Yeah that's pretty much upper addiction. Feels like a great pick me up for a while, all the parties are great, then suddenly you're binging and broke and your brain feels like it's been scoured out with wire mesh. The MDMA thing - it can get really brutal with the mood swings both during and...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    It blows my mind that people actually played NWN2. It was quite possibly the worst "mainstream/decent budget" RPG I've played in my life - the graphics looked 5 years out of date, the gameplay was clunky as hell and the storyline was... well honestly it was so awkward to play and ugly to look at...

    In a series written by two fat old ladies about their D&D campaign, on literary parity with Eragon. I mean I get that it's fantasy, but come on man, havesomestandards.

    But strength gives all that extra holding capacity, perfect for solo runs! I'm also pretty sure charisma didn't influence how many spells sorcs could learn/cast in IE, so you could just keep it at baseline and max the crap out of dex/con. What did it influence. Turn undead? I just remember...

    Yeah the MDMA thing is still contentious - a lot of people will claim that it's as safe as aspirin (which is stupid, because aspirin actually kills a fair few people), then scientists will do the whole "this is your brain on drugs" routine, and nobody knows what to believe, so they just believe...

    Better Call Saul

    Just watched the first 3 episodes - surprised by how much it has me hooked. It's maybe a bit much with how many of the BB characters they're squeezing in so early, but I'm still really enjoying the show. It's got a bit of the flavor of BB, but it's own unique feel to it, hope the rest of the...

    The cognitive decline thing is complicated. When you say upper what are we talking? Huge difference between coke, pharmaceutical amphetamine, street meth, good quality MDMA, bad quality MDMA, the dozens of iterations of substitute amphetamines/cathinones, etc. But as a really broad rule, my...

    I'm just disappointed because while it might not be my cup of tea, it was sold as my favorite flavor and everyone keeps insisting it's the best tea in the universe. When I don't like a game I generally just don't bother spending energy talking about it, but this is a game where I fall right...

    To be honest it kinda bums me out too. I wish I had a drug I could chill out with once or twice a week that doesn't turn into some crazy addiction. I drink socially, but alcohol by itself it's like eating plain pasta, it just makes me think about all the other stuff I wish was included in the...

    It is in a way, but it also really simplifies your life in a way which is both nice and incredibly horrifying. When you're not an addict, life is complicated, your happiness depends on a ton of factors - finance, family, friends, relationships, the economy, politics. When you're an addict...

    No quick and easy answers to that, it would be a combination of factors. Everyone is different when it comes to drugs, a lot of it comes down to your neurological makeup, your psychology, your history of use and your metabolism. On top of that, tolerance to drugs is something that just isn't...

    Yeah Arcanum was super broken when it comes to character design, but that's not a bug (other than maybe the summons not giving XP? Could have been intentional - certainly no more retarded than having to run back to town every 2 - 4 times you rest, and apparently some of the same people worked on...

    Hah. Like I said, I'm a drug geek. If I still used regularly I'd probably have a youtube channel or something where I explain the pro's and cons of different needle varieties and showed people how to use micron filters properly. I find drugs genuinely fascinating. I have stories that are far...

    That's a funny question. The short answer is I never had it administered by someone else, but I accidentally administered it to myself one time. The long answer is: Over all the time I was at my worst I never had to get it from an EMT - I was always very careful measuring my doses using...

    I'm currently perversely transfixed by something called Dirty Magic.

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    The thing that really puts me off DLC's is that they've pretty much replaced expansion packs. We used to play through a game, wait 6 - 12 months, then we'd get an expansion pack which would heap an extra 20 - 30% content on the top in a cohesive whole which you could continue on with from your...
