This is great. There is an entire galaxy of stories to tell and every movie after RoTJ has just ruined characters we love. Go make new ones and if they suck, they suck. I would say that this protects the ones we love from further damage but I stopped loving or caring about anything Star Wars...

I saw this and chuckled and then immediately caught myself because you are one of a handful of people on this forum that might actually be serious about this comment. Well played.

The showrunners are at least self-aware enough to understand that the far left is way the fuck out there. Do you think real wokesters would be able to stomach even a tongue-in-cheek reference to BLM (which was fucking hilarious) or a black character exploiting his skin color to become famous...

I've been watching DolphinChemist's run on Twitch. The diologue and delivery are better than 99% of movies in the last decade. If you liked Until Dawn then you're going to like this.

Come on man, this is the real world; Russia is more than happy to share with China.... until it is them vs. the world and China starts exerting their will over Russia and demanding more food for less of some other good and service. And then you add in Iran and India with their own goals and you...

It is absolutely linked; if those four countries abandoned the dollar policy tomorrow, how long would this new union with their own currency take to become self sufficient? Could they even work together enough to make it work with all of those power dynamics? And after all of that, do you...

We are talking about two countries, not just one. Russia may not need the energy, but China sure does. The two of them together still cannot maintain the global alliance especially when there is an adversarial USA in the picture.

Russia and China are import led economies; how do they get their vital food, energy, and raw material imports in this new non-global world?

Like admitting that "green" is a fucking fantasy with wind and solar and that we should heavily invest into nation wide nuclear while increasing oil and natural gas production to bridge the gap? Yeah, didn't think so.

Who, specifically and why would they even have a chance?

A couple of percentage points of interest rates would only fuck us if we continue to spend since all previous debt is at the old lower rates. I understand that asking congress to be fiscally responsible is crazy, but rates raising now does not mean there is no way out. It might be painful...

I don't understand this doom and gloom; the US imports around 10% of its "needs;" much less than any other modern industrialized country or even the empires of old. We also have the might to secure any trade route we deem necessary due to our *literally* unmatched naval might. In the world...

Needs overarching but hidden Cthulhu-esque storyline.

No, Mist. They stopped new projects because the current administration assists with being as punitive as possible for any of them to try and complete a new project. The DAPL incident cost Energy Transfer BILLIONS in lost revenue because of the bureaucratic delays they encountered to get it...

How about shooting the members of the Executive and DOJ that keep assisting with the delays and cancellations of permits, rigs, pipelines, and refineries? If you think that the entire oil industry (which, btw, consists of upstream drilling, midstream delivery, and downstream refining/b2b sales)...

Divorce inc!! Just kidding, when my wife is out of town on business I always end up falling asleep in our media room because I can finally watch whatever the fuck I want.

Haha, sorry for assuming; when I hear that the parents have to co-sign for rent I just assume the person is 18-25. I find it mind blowing that someone in their 30s would need their parents help for rent, but I guess that is a sign of the times.

Your big issue is that she doesn't own the house (as with all renters) but she is also young and has her parents backing her mistakes. I would put aside more money for damages etc. just because she is going to have her idiot friends over and they won't give a shit about your carpet, walls...

@Big Phoenix look at this derail; are you not entertained?

I bet they use their credit cards for everything and pay off the balance at the end of the month. What great credit scores!

But Booze, didn't we have a bunch of people here telling us that he was retarded and not a good CEO??? I bet he personally walked this idea into the development meetings.

I liked the idea of Jibaro and never mind when my sci-fi/fantasy is an unexplained but weird fucking story. The only part I did not get was why he got his hearing back? Was it drinking her blood in the water? Also, why would anyone ever drink water that was obvious bloody?

The amount of money it costs them to not just keep their people at the industry average for their title is astounding. I would probably still be at my first company if that was the case.

This is huge in the sales and consulting industries because of the dumbass HR teams that don't allow inside promotions to match outside market rates. You end up leaving a company you like for one that pays well and then a year or two later one of the talent acquisition reps from your last...

It's like these fucking retards don't understand what happens to investors (regular and institutional) when you start arbitrarily taxing whole sectors because they dared to make more of a profit than someone slapdicked politician who has never had a real job thinks is fair. Where are the taxes...

Well, I preordered it. I want there to be a massive surge of money behind WH40k RPG content. The more, the better until they fuck it up.

This has a chance to be in the Torment level of story conversations in they are truly dedicated to the WH40k grimdark narrative. Can you imagine making a few innocuous and diologue choices and end up turning towards Chaos? Like choosing the 'I'm down to party' options that lead you to a...

They already fucked up their chance to successfully integrate the EU. Nothing they do now helps, especially since Horn was never around Obi-Wan. If it is just the same name and nothing else about him is the same then what fan of his would be fooled?

You're talking about a game from 1993 where you wake up in a morgue. It was a real time shooter RPG set in a dystopian future. You got to enter computers for a confusing and unexplained mini game. You fought a goddamn vampire. What video game in '93 was doing this? P.S. they were all linear...

Exactly, one of the worst parts of this game was that fast travel, having a vehicle, and POI's on the map/given to you via cellphone when you entered an area meant that there was no real organic exploring. Why sneak into a guarded building if there was no POI? That was a total miss.

In all honesty, I felt that this game tying itself to a main character with a name and a distinct story arc actually hurt it in the long run. I think that it would have been much more well received if they would have made you an "everyman" that got to organically find the story lines that you...

100% agree. Maidenless behavior.

Dude, I am going to watch this because I loved Willow and the trailer looked good; HOWEVER, everyone in the main cast is a non-white male except for the little person lead who is the eponymous hero and their nostalgia bait.

Looks great. Bale does look a lot like Lee Pace in his makeup, but Pace killed it so that isn't a bad thing.

Mist draft deck reviews on YouTube. You'll make millions Jerey, millions!

I didn't know where to put this, but it looks like @tyen will be poor forever.

Here is my pretty easy Vanya theory. The one we know (long hair) is going to die, like @Cybsled predicted. However. In the trailer they were talking about what to do if you saw the other you from that timeline. Short haired male Vanya is the new timeline one and will replace female Vanya. The...

It is going to start in a love triangle where the horse rider girl that waited for him at Yellowstone is now going to follow him to Texas and try to get him back from the horse nurse.

Well, hope renewed. That looks great.

First episode over. Verdict: Fantastic. It is the same show and it is glorious. Walk with me.
