    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    In my experience, any chick who is hard to read isn't interested in you as more than a friend. If a girl has a strong desire to be more than a friend they generally make it really clear. Hasn't it been a while with her? Sounds like friend zone to me. Move on.

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    I've never had a big aquarium, but I think a lot of the fun for me would be buying all the little decorative shit like castles and whatnot to make it look nice. I could see spending a lot of time and money on that as I gradually build up my aquarium's "theme", so to speak.

    Boardwalk Empire

    True, I don't expect any of the "big" characters like Nucky, Capone, Luciano, Masseria, Rothstein, etc. to die randomly, but there are plenty of other characters who are either fictional or not as well known and they could easily be killed off at any time. Take Harrow, for example. I was afraid...

    I was at the Nordstrom Rack last weekend (only place I can find a good selection of reasonably priced size 14 shoes) and I'm pretty sure I tried on a pair of Ecco dress shoes. They were really comfortable, but they cost like 150 dollars I believe. I had to settle for a cheaper pair of Calvin...

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    I have a hard time seeing it as a low scoring game on both sides. The Redskins defense is mediocre at best, especially the secondary, so if it IS a close game, it will be because both offenses are going berserk and racking up points. Unfortunately, as much as I love the Skins' offense, I have a...

    The fact that they did something as shocking as killing off Jimmy really made season 3 exciting for me. I never knew who was safe in any given episode.

    Blood Bowl

    Positioning is probably one of the hardest parts of the game. It's almost like a chess match, where you need to think several moves ahead and try to predict where your opponent is going to place his pieces in relation to yours. I'm still pretty bad at it as well, but it gets easier with practice.

    Seahawks are going to destroy Washington, sadly. There are probably hits out for him in DC and Baltimore, no surprise he had to flee across the country.

    What's your luckiest kill or saved by the skin of your teeth moment?

    Early EQ on my low 30s wizard in South Karana and I ran across Quillmane. Started trying to kite it but kept getting resists and was on the verge of death when a 40ish ranger shows up and saves my ass rather than letting me die to take it for himself. Cloak drops, I "accidentally" loot it and...

    Has anyone ordered a shirt from Shirt.Woot recently? My favorite graphic tees were from there, but the last time I ordered was years ago when American Apparel made the shirts. The thing I liked about their shirts (other than the graphics) was that they were long and slim, with narrower sleeves...

    How is this thread so slow compared to the FOH one? I blame Eomer being in a relationship. Anyway, I went ahead and signed up for eHarmony 2 weeks ago. I already like it more than PoF simply because the price (fucking expensive) seems to keep most of the bums and weirdos away. Their...

    I haven't played the sequel, but the original Orcs Must Die is worth 8.74 by itself. It's an absolutely amazing game, assuming you're a fan of tower defense.

    Good idea doing a short test season. I'd volunteer to help but I'm pretty damn busy this week so I'm not sure I'd be much use. Regarding scheduling conflicts, is there an option to play games via e-mail (i.e one player takes a turn, sends it to their opponent who can take a turn at his/her...

    The Hobbit

    I don't think it's a matter of nitpicking, but just questions that a lot of people have after reading the 4 big books (The Hobbit and LOTR trilogy). I'm sure a lot of stuff might be explained in other sources and the Silmarillion, but most people don't go that far into the lore of Middle Earth...

    The Hobbit

    I understand why she couldn'ttakethe ring anywhere. The same reason Gandalf refuses to touch it. However, with all that power at her disposal, why couldn't she stroll down to the gates of Mordor as a distraction rather than let Aragon lead a suicide mission? It always struck me that she (and...

    My biggest fashion problem is finding jeans that fit well. While I'm not fat, my widest point is my hips/thighs so while a size 34 or 36 pair of jeans might fit no problem around my waist, they're super tight in the hips and thighs. This results in having to go up a size, which makes the waist...

    The Hobbit

    You might be right about Gandalf, but there are some pretty powerful characters and their immense power is explicitly stated or shown. Galadriel and Glorfindel, for example. I think someone in this thread mentioned before how Galadriel basically single-handedly destroys Dol Guldur towards the...

    Opinions on Stronghold 3? What is the ratio of castle building to RTS game-esque management? Basically I'm looking to design and build a badass castle and defend it. I'm not much interesting in feeding peasants and making sure my soldiers have toilets and shit.

    Yes I will admit a bad string of unlucky bonehead rolls has had me on the verge of throwing my mouse at the wall before. Especially when he gets knocked down and bonehead prevents him from even standing up, making him 100% useless in every way.

    Blood Bowl

    That is my exact team. I've found decent success with it in the past, but it can be frustrating to start as your skinks get knocked out easily and your Sauruses lack any skills. Tell that to Hatorade. My Krox basically won me our game last night with a perfectly timed blitz that knocked the ball...

    With any normal show that could never happen, but with community it wouldn't surprise me if he leaves a scene and we find out in the next scene that he was killed offscreen or something, and life goes on. That would be ideal, actually.

    I think Dwarf teams are the ones I hate playing against more than any others. As a Lizard Men player, my skinks get raped by so much tackle skill on the field. It really ruins the run game.

    I haven't played in a while, but I started off with and almost exclusively played the lizard men. They have a nasty running game. Once you get some ball handling skills on their runners it's pretty easy to run the ball from one end of the field to the other in a single turn. Of course, a team...

    Blood Bowl is incredibly fun and incredibly frustrating. It's quite literally a graphical representation of a tabletop dice game, so EVERYTHING depends on dice rolls. It's annoying, especially at first, to get fucked over by the dice. I guess if you're a fan of dice games you'd love it. It's...
