Because budgets. He does in the books tho.

Thing is, if you're a big xcom fan, you'll get more out of a new random ironman playthrough than sitting through bureau. If you just wanna spend a couple bucks and you're nostalgic for old school xcom without the streamlining and abstraction of the firaxis versions you could try xenonauts and...

None of those other fucks have a giant fucking dire wolf. Ghost is supposed to be slightly larger than a horse now, shame the show doesn't show him more.

That's the biggest red flag for me. If it's true and one of the other passengers actually said that, she must've made SUCH A FUCKING SPECTACLE of herself to actually precipitate it. She's a already a pity-peddler on her way to a QQ-conference about muslim victimhood, I can just imagine how...

Bah, MEDIOCRE!

It said the governments surrendered so we could still have beaten the temple ship but Obama still sold us out to his cobra-alien overlords.

Yall know Darth Sansa's gonna go Imperator Furiosa on this whole franchise eventually right? The series ends with her feeding Littlefinger's dick to Viserion's youngest hatchlings.

Quentyn was the Martell heir, and yep hes straight up dead in the books. There's hope for Aegon fans tho: Trystane, who's NOT in the books could technically be a composite of the whole Aegon arc anyway. He's the right age, looks kinda like Jon and the Martells are the Targaryen's closest...

Aegon was pretty obviously a fake in the books too. Even before adwd came out Varys' "mummer's dragon" had been telegraphed kinda heavily. The producers are keeping the greyscale disease in play tho (Griff in the books and Jorah in the show), so that's interesting. Though it'll prolly just...

Is this what those comics threads are like?

This came up in the old foh boards too. The whole drake equation vs. fermi paradox argument has spawned a lot of awesome speculation as why there isn't more obvious evidence of intelligent life. I'm a fan of the Carter Catastrophe/Doomsday Equation argument myself. Based on a range of how...

Disney sees the genre fatigue with Star Wars and Marvel clogging the market for the next couple decades. They're seeing gaps in their lineup and that's why they got Brad Bird--one of their big guns---to try to build a franchise for the female YA hunger games/divergent/twihard crowd. They...

If you played Ironman or Hard/Impossible non-ironman I'd say just go straight to LW. Long War makes a lot of assumptions about the player's experience with the xcom resource management metagame. At lot of the fun of Long War comes from the tension of committing finite resources for a long...

Maybe he only does that to babies.

If the base building and resource metagame turned you off, you're not gonna enjoy Long War.

how are you capturing specific clips for gfycat btw? Or did you just find that one out there already?

"Advent" administration runs the govt so maybe Exalt won the war?

Coldplay then Sigur Ros andnow..... MASTODON!

Apparently Melisandre sees "only Snow" in her visions this season. Azor Ahai's "sword of Fire" was set up that episode; the prophecy didn't literally mean "a burning sword":

Melisandre's shots in that preview kinda suggests that she'll be seeing "Nothing but Snow" in her fires/vision next episode. Especially with davos saying something about a man's destiny.

They're all in dyson swarms.

Yeah he was a Bran Stark.

nope

She's gorgeous. She was also topless in Borgen a few times iirc.

Luckily for mermaidkin, she lives in a polity that's receptive to progressive sexual identity extortion. Canadians kids won't have to suffer the inhuman brutality ofstate-sponsored transphobiaby birth certificate soon: Why must the state participate in this hateful anti-mermaidkin rape culture...

yah retrocausality is pretty hot right now. That experiment's been duplicated a few times this year and it's got some exciting implications for everything from astrophysics to control theory predictive heuristics.

omfg why aren't those bystanders helping her?! Monkeyrape culture.

They must've deleted multiple votes when they put that captcha in. Chattanoogans must've complained.

Yeah I enjoyed Wolf Hall more than Tudors, actually. Even though Cromwell was played by George Bush.

LOL, might explain why IE8 activitytripledin December 2014 for some reason.

Yeah. A wish list.

At least the moon-priestess didn't infect us with the usual gynoterrorist sermonizing right out of the Vagenda koran.

Did you read The Algebraist? That is easily his best space opera. It's not in the culture universe and has some truly timely concepts.

Sansa lied about the incident, letting the blame fall on Arya. Since they couldn't punish Arya, and Nymeria wasn't there, she basically got Lady killed:

So yeah that EW article's Arya picture was just her Braavosi "Cat of the Canals" costume. So we get to see her early missions this season. But they did make one big change from the books that was already set up earlier: It looks like Arya gets to knock a name off her list!

What a spray! What a lovely Spray!

Yeah that's officially my new favorite tinfoil theory.

Yeah it's noticeable because this game is designed to BE WATCHED more than any recent FPS. I think Blizzard is pretty much consciously designing the game to be a rich OBSERVER experience as much a player experience. They've admitted to a company-wide commitment to e-sports, so it kinda...

yeah the high sparrow mentioned the "Mother's Mercy" as the punishment that would befall whoever failed the trial of the seven or something. Don't remember if that was ever mentioned in the books.

Whoa is Arya dressed like Mercy in that article? The casting speculation seemed like she won't be working as the Mercy persona till next season. But she looks like a member of a gypsy mummer's troupe. Maybe that's just her braavosi costume? I guess we get to see her doing her early...
