I never really liked Thane. Mordin and Jack were badass though. No, I'm saying that anyone who thinks a shitty ending is enough to write off at least 2.5 awesome games, or even to write off a game that was in itself otherwise pretty damn good, has lost any sense of perspective, and that this...

Yeah I played through the series over the last year or so, and I didn't find the ending as game ruining as so many people seem to. It wasn't amazing, and I think the original idea they had with the dark energy problem was much cooler than what they went with, but coming up with an ending is...

I dunno, it seems to me that the difference is mainly cultural. I don't think witch/voodoo magic are being portrayed as fundamentally different forces, just the same force being utilized through different methods/for different purposes/with different cultural trappings. What I find...

Yeah it's a really solid album, few iffy tracks but you're gonna get that anywhere. Surprisingly I really loved The Monster, I'm one of those people who really didn't get into Recovery, but this album is way better, up there with his older stuff.

Storyline sucks, but they've been going full retard on that for a while now. Rest of the new stuff looks pretty awesome. Wondering how they're gonna pull off the Garrison thing, since they've said it won't be instanced if I understand correctly. I know they're trying to avoid changing the...

If they try to go for a female Han Solo it could be... interesting. Even if the movie sucks, that will be worth it. Win/win.

That scene with the stillborn baby was amazing. Great episode.

I'm too lazy to reread the thread, but I'm fairly certain nobody outright claimed it had any therapeutic effect. The closest was Supertouch's comment about 'experts... in various fields' or some such, which I guess is a pretty strong (although vague) implication that it does, but you're sitting...

Serious question: do you have any personal experience with addiction of any kind?

This is an internet forum about video games, not a scientific journal, people can post about their thoughts and experiences without having to cite half a dozen peer reviewed sources. They need to be able to, or else conversation gets bogged down and grinds to a halt as people argue over the...

How is gum or a patch any more efficacious than an e-cig once I've already ceased all nicotine intake? The route of administration I used to quit (albeit not intentionally) doesn't seem like it would make any difference at that point.

So he had a cool experience, and claimed that 'experts' in 'various fields,' use them (granted, I had no idea how true that claim is, but I'd imagine there are at least one or two people who are experts in some field or another and use sensory deprivation tanks, speaking purely in statistical...

Double, delete this.

Ok sure, but he didn't say 'hey guys, did you hear about those scientifically proven sensory deprivation tanks which have been demonstrated in published, peer reviewed scientific papers to make all sorts of cool shit happen in your head? You should go out and spend tons of money on them!' All he...

Yeah I really don't see why you guys are getting all up in Supertouch's jock about this.

God Izo, can't believe you're still doing this. Getting to the point where I'm fairly sure you're trolling, nobody could be oblivious enough to act like such a sanctimonious asshole for so long somewhere where people so clearly want them to piss off. Unless, have you ever been diagnosed with...

Yeah I love season 2, not sure why it gets so much hate other than because it was such a change of scenery.

Looks awesome. Blows my mind to remember that there was a time when everyone wrote off Leo as a pretty boy one hit wonder teen hearthrob type.

I'll probably end up doing it, especially if friends get into it (and they usually do). I ended up playing MOP, which I hated the idea of, so how much worse could it be? Actually going off the rumors we've heard, I'm kind of interested to see where they go with it. Can't be worse than...

Damn dude. That's some pretty cold revenge. Just thinking about makes me wanna scratch a layer or two of skin off. Ugh.

Yeah I mostly agree re: fat people. I actually have a lot of sympathy for people who've put weight on and are trying to lose it, making big life changes is a hard slog, and our society doesn't exactly make it easy to be healthy, but if you give enough of a fuck about your weight to be offended...

Yeah it's disgusting, I fucking hate people who think it's ok to drive while fucked up. Call a fucking cab, if you can afford booze, you can afford a cab fair.

Wtf was that about anyway with the Husband? Kinda came out of nowhere. Still really enjoying the season, but I kinda wish they'd stop introducing radically new plot points every episode, it makes things feel disjointed and leaves each storyline progressing at a snails pace. I mean we've...

My maternal grandfather was in the war as well, one of I think only 2 survivors in his air force squadron, I never met him that I remember so I can't say for sure, but from what I've gathered he was a heavy drinker afterwards, which created a lot of conflict between him and my...

Us? I've never exterminated or sequestered anyone, and neither, I hope, have you. I get what you're saying though, about 'sexy Indian' type costumes, though I'm not sure where I stand on that issue personally. My gut feeling is that even though it's probably not in good taste, comparing it to...

I've only known one person who was, that I know of, molested. Girl I dated years back was raped (I think repeatedly) by her older brother when she was younger. It definitely had a massive effect on her life, she has all sorts of weird hang ups about sex/men/family that I've never seen in anyone...

Yeah wow. My family aren't the most balanced bunch, but they're all mostly decent people, with no divorces or secret kids or rape or incest or violence. Thanks guys, I feel extra grateful for my life right now.

Don't have any inherent preference, depends on the girl.

The fact that half of the internet seem to be bitching about allegedly racist Halloween costumes. Maybe it's just that I'm Australian, and have minimal experience with both Halloween and black people, but I don't see how using makeup to make yourself look like a black TV character is inherently...

This fuckwit:Peter Hitchens | Mail Online Which is the best Harry Potter book? Just did a re-read, friend says 5, I say 6.

Yeah I can understand not wanting people dressed as offensive stereotypes, but this whole idea of "appropriation" is a load of crap.

Probably 17 - 20ish. Had gotten out of the craphole that is high school, spent some time at Uni studying things I actually find interesting before putting my degree on hold, earning quite a bit of money for that age but with no real expectation that I'd do anything responsible with it, had...

Yeah seriously, no idea how much mailmen earn, but I really doubt it's enough to make up for dealing with any huge/dangerous looking dogs. On that note, why does the time at which the mail man hits my house vary by as much as 5 hours? Don't they do the same route every day?

Don't see how that would work. I mean she could write a book in which Fitz has died as part of the continuity of the setting, but with Fitz dead, how can it be a Fitz & Fool book? The whole point of those, the whole appeal, is that they offer a first person perspective on the world and a deep...

I'm not sure how much tbh. Most of the characters I really give a shit about as a reader are gone. I get that Fitz is all in love with Molly and all, but she's kinda boring and not a character I grew to care about the way I did Nighteyes or Burrich. She doesn't have much of a personality, she's...

Honestly, that's past the point of 'cool' big and getting to the point of 'that's just stupid' big.

Yeah definitely there are gonna be isolated cases, and if there weren't before the media latched onto the idea, then it became a guarantee that once every news outlet started running 'put this chemical in a chick's drink and you can rape her while she's unconscious!,' there were gonna be idiotic...

Iirc most studies show that the incidences of drink spiking are much, much lower than commonly reported, and something like 90% of women who go to hospital claiming that their drink was spiked in fact have nothing but alcohol in their systems. It's a hysteria played up for ratings and attention...

That image right there is everything I hate about S3. That's a load of crap. It's not about the level of involvement or how committed you are, the show just flat out drifted off into lala land. Season 1 & 2 had a lot of quirkiness, but other than a few things here and there which pushed the...

No, seriously, tell me. Unless she's literally had her mouth duct taped closed, in which case it obviously falls under the physical violence category, how is she unable to say 'I don't wanna do this' ? Even in the Police officer example I used, even if the circumstance forces her to either have...
