Oh, come on. The Jarl/Earl is basically "King" of the Vikings in that region. He wears a crown, holds court, etc. It's hardly the same as calling someone by a completely different name.

He's obviously talking about the Jarl/Earl. I agree he is quite a dick. I think someone else already mentioned it, but he's the weak point of the show. His acting is great, but the character itself is just too stereotypical evil-badguy. I would really like to learn more about what happened to...

I didn't get the impression he ate the uranium. I thought it entered at the other end.

Priest is going to end up killing someone while Ragnarr and his wife are gone on their voyage.

What I was getting at is that if you make under a certain threshold, which I believe is about $9,000 for 2012, you don't have to file anything. This applies to everyone, at home or abroad. I got paid $8,000 each year for the 2 years I was abroad so I didn't file anything. Of course I got paid...

It sounds like someone took Gratuitous Space Battles and added Civilization aspects to it.

To clarify, I did look into it while I was overseas and, as Dabamf mentioned at the beginning of his post, I qualified for foreign earned income exclusion. As long as you earn under a certain number (which I don't remember off the top of my head) you don't have to file if all of your income was...

Ignore the years you were overseas. I spent two years abroad as well and never filed for them.

Yes, I'm aware that Aerys was a horrible person, but Tuco said "faction", referring to the entire Targaryen family. Outside of Aerys I wouldn't consider the other members we know about any worse than some of the Lannisters, Baratheons, or Starks we've heard about. I certainly never considered...

Gavinrad abused my stunty team last night so he's definitely around.

This is a great game to play around Halloween. I've still got my CD sitting right here next to my desk.

I'm not a cologne wearer in general, but I thought I'd chime in about this shitty new Adam Levine cologne. The specific name escapes me. Anyway, I had the misfortune of smelling it recently and it's awful.

Yeah, he's featured for a few seconds in season 1 when Ned calls him up in the throne room and orders him to go arrest The Mountain. Beyond that I don't believe he is mentioned at all. A different actor is playing him in season 2, so I imagine there will be some exposition (probably from Little...

Did anyone really consider the Targaryens bad guys? I mean, we never really got to meet any of them outside of Viserys and Daenerys. In my mind, the first book had two "villains": the Lannisters, mainly Cersei and Jamie, and Viserys. I always considered Daenerys one of the good guys. She's...

I'm still happy that they're keeping this series short and sweet. I think a big reason this season has been so great is exactly because it's ending; they're packing in as much awesome shit as they can to go out with a bang. If there were still several seasons left I wager this season would be...

Are you referring to the Lannisters? I think it's already too late for their entire house to be considered heroes, but I could see Jaimie or Tyrion becoming the prototypical "hero".

Pirates! is one of my go-to older games that I'll play the hell out of for a week every year. It's so insanely fun, but it gets repetitive pretty quickly. p.s I thought this thread was called "Old titties worth revisiting post yours here". I was oddly disappointed.

Wow, this episode was amazing. The entire thing was nothing but rapid fire punchlines that kept chaining off of each other.

You realize you can see who negs you, right? In other news, I decided to change things up recently and started putting on my pants left-leg-first instead of right. I'm confident that's what caused me to lose 1% of my body fat in the last 7 days. I can't wait to tell the guys in the gym about...

I'll do a vamp team for D3. I've always wanted to play them but have never done more than a game here or there so it'll be fun plus I'll be extra sucky (pun intended). I'll make it and app later tonight.

Daegarmo was one of the earliest "holy shit that's cool" moments in EQ. I was on my very first character in Lake Rathe camping those big Aviaks, and Daegarmo appeared and started trying to talk to some ogre player for some reason. Anyway, the ogre started running away from Daegarmo while he was...

Yeah this show is definitely worth a whole fuck. I haven't read any spoilers but I'm eager to see this come back.

Serious question because I'm curious: where is this stated in the books? It's been a while since I've read them, but I always thought the average folk didn't care who was on the throne. They lived peacefully under the Targaryans and they lived peacefully under Robert. I know Dorn sided with the...

To be fair, of Ned, Jon, and Robert, only Robert was a fuck up. When Game of Thrones begins hasn't there been something like 15 years of peace in the 7 kingdoms? That's all under Robert's (aka Jon's) rule. And I don't think there is any doubt that Ned would have made a pretty great king if he...

I definitely agree this is true, but you've also got to eat good stuff. Eating 5 - 6 smallish meals a day won't help you lose weight if each of those meals consists of fried foods/Doritos/cupcakes. Also, telling fatties not to lose control is pretty useless. They're fat because they have no...

Never watched Game of Thrones? Never watched Deadwood? What else haven't you seen, have you purposely been avoiding the best TV shows of the past decade? In a way I envy you. I wish I could watch all of these great shows again for the first time.

What I've gotten from the trailers is that Mandarin is going to be more of a mental/psychological threat to Iron Man. Sure, he has heavy weapons and lots of soldiers and resources, but it seems like he's going to try and "break" Tony/Iron Man through more subtle means before launching a direct...

Yeah I have to admit I was surprised at how quickly and carelessly the vikings murdered the monks. I was expecting there to be at least some debate between Ragnar and his crew about it. I figured History Channel would try to "humanize" the vikings to make them better heroes for the story. I'm...

I'm really enjoying this show so far. Ragnar was kind of annoying at first, with his little smirk and odd intonation, as if he's always asking a question. But 3 episodes in I definitely think that kind of portrayal is better than the typical brutish viking. He gives off this sort of child-like...

Unless you've got a real medical condition it is absolutely retarded to take any sort of medication to lose weight.

It's been a while since I've seen Thor, but I, also, remember some kind of reference to "magic is just technology you don't understand" or something along those lines. I might be wrong, though. Edit: Yeah, 1:45 in the video Grimmlokk posted is what I was remembering. I guess it could be...

I guess I just don't see why people would be hung up about magic and mysticism. I mean, look at the Hell Boy movies. Those had all sorts of weird creatures, demons, magic, and they were really well received. Assuming they craft the movie's world well and create a believable setting in which...

I can do a stunty team in the newbie league if necessary.

I was hoping this was a Starz/HBO/Showtime historical drama about Hannibal Barca. I am dissapoint

I think that could have been said about all of these Marvel movies so far, especially Thor and Captain America. All of them turned out to be at least decent movies.

Much like Eyashusa, most of my multiplayer was done with people I knew so it wasn't super competitive. We actually enjoyed the economic/building aspect more than the combat so we tended to build heavily defended cities with walls, towers, castles, etc. and had trade routes going between our...

WTB a CW/A&E crossover where a young Carrie Bradshaw goes on a road trip with her girlfriends and spends the night at Bates Motel. I guess origin stories aren't just reserved for super heroes nowadays.

I know it gets mentioned in every thread about North Korea, but I can't recommend "Nothing to Envy" enough. It's a short, easy read that gives a fantastic view into what daily life is like for an average North Korean citizen. At this point I am just hoping to see an "end" to North Korea...

The ridiculous naming of sizes and drinks at Starbucks and the douchebags who sounds like douchebags when they order. "Venti Dark Roast no cream or sugar"? Fuck that, it's a fucking large black coffee and that's how I order it. Rustles my jimmies.

British Longbowmen were key. Didn't they have the longest range of all the units? A massive square formation of them with a couple priests in the middle for healing was pretty much unstoppable. Nothing could get close.
