    The Following (Season 2)

    The only reason to watch this show is to see Bacon shooting motherfuckers. I get really annoyed how in most movies cop/fed will say "don't move or I'll shoot" and they don't follow through (Key & Peele actually did a skit on this). Ryan Hardy doesn't do this, if you move, you die.

    True Detective

    Damn, man. Just got around to watching this episode, and catching up on the thread and pretty much every fucking thought I had has already been posted. Literally word for word. Fuckers. I guess all that's left to say is I thought the audio work was pretty outstanding and really helped pull you...

    Give me one single example of an mmo that failed or succeeded due to "marketing", genius.

    If you can't refute my arguments, just admit it. No need for your retarded veiled insults. The only reason you're confused is because you think you know what the fuck you're talking about. Newsflash- you don't.

    Lol. Like any of that matters. MMO's don't succeed or fail based on their marketing. If the game is good it will get the best advertisement/marketing there is. Word of mouth. Or, more accurately these days, word of keyboard. And I can pretty much guarantee they aren't just going to focus their...

    1. It's possible, yes. Doubt it will happen anytime soon. It's especially hard for publishers to gauge because of our history of pvp mmos. So many failures, and no real successes. They don't have a "WoW" to look at and say, "look, that's how it should be done, let's clone it a dozen times."...

    There is nothing fundamentally different between 100 vs 10 and 60 vs 40. You didn't want a fair fight, you wanted to win, with little to no risk. "we would bring enough to win." "Your "human nature" argument is incorrect. People want to play a game and want challenge, especially PvPers,"...

    The point is, while there are a few exceptions, most people want reward with little or no risk. It's simple human nature. The only reason why itappearsthat this kind of behavior has lessened since the UO days is that most games include things in their design to prevent it as much as they can...

    I think you're getting a little too lost in your whole wolves/sheep analogy. You can't compare MOBA's to mmo pvp either, they are completely different. Sure, the vast majority of mmo pvpers are wolves, not because they "live by fighting", but because they prey on the weak/defenseless (sheep)...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

    Looks like fun. Although, I get the feeling that the original design was just set in a generic fantasy world, since the wraith abilities are pretty integral to the game and have zero to do with Tolkien lore.

    Black Sails

    Don't think it's the make-up. They do this thing where they reverse the shot, mirror it. Someone who knows more about the process can explain it better. But, yeah, still a continuity error.

    Ender's Game (2013)

    That wasn't the issue. The issue was that Ender had to be able to do whatever it took to win each battle. He thought nothing of sacrificing half his available ships (or all) to win a single engagement, because they were just game pieces to him. He had no idea there were hundreds of people (or...

    Ender's Game (2013)

    It wasn't conveyed as well in the movie as the books, and you have to suspend your disbelief a bit, but all they needed from Ender was the ability to use the Fleet in battle extremely well, and more importantly for him to think it was a game. So he would do anything to win, and not realize he...

    Ender's Game (2013)

    There was plenty of sex in WoT. It wasn't shown all explicit in the books, but Rand was banging three chicks. Lan bangs Nynaeve eventually, Perrin and Faile, not to mention Mat and his escapades. Did you read some G rated version?

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    While there are a few abilities like bullet swarm, heat ammo, low profile, that are nice to have, there's also quite a few that are useless and the classes that usually get those tend to be weaker without them. And it's really hard to get stuff you need like field medic and lightning reflexes. I...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    I prefer the flamethrower on my first MEC. 6 (and later 9) damage in a huge area, plus panic (usually) is great. Sectopods aren't an issue. I typically run with 2 snapshot snipers, and disabling shot lets me deal with Sectos at my leisure. I recently did a couple I/I runs with ballistic weapons...

    The Blacklist

    I don't see how nice or brutal really factors in. He killed everyone involved in his kidnapping and torture, and the cold-blooded murder of one of his most trusted people. Simple revenge. Did it seem brutal because he showed no emotion while doing it? Just seemed like vast amounts of...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I've never agreed with or understood this distinction. A mutant is by definition a mutated human, they are still human. Is someone born with a genius IQ or green eyes not a human? If you believe in the theory of evolution we're all mutants. Does that mean humans don't exist?

    That's an easy one. BBT gets better ratings because it has a laugh track (studio audience, same thing essentially)...so people know that's it's funny and when to laugh. Seriously, most people are that retarded. Sorry for stating the obvious. I do find Sheldon entertaining, but most of the...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    The only decent stats on that unique are the strength and durability, which IM doesn't really need at 60, unless you have a melee heavy build? And leveling it to 60 won't change those two stats. You could level it to 40, which is reasonably cheap, but I wouldn't go farther than that.

    "All these movies"?? What the fuck are you reading, retard? I named one fucking movie. And I can almost guarantee that I'm older than you, genius. Still waiting on one of you fucking clowns to actually refute my argument instead of slinging negs. If you are unable to engage in intelligent...

    The original would be untouched, moron. That's your whole argument? "It's a great cult movie, leave it alone!" Here's a little tip for you, I'm not a fucking movie producer. The OP asked a fucking question and I answered it. Forums are for discussion. When you disagree with someone you use your...

    Movies you'd like to see remakes of?

    I explained quite clearly why I would like to see a remake. Why don't you try to explain why you disagree with my reason, instead of throwing around neg-nets? Just too lazy? Or too stupid? Also, someone already suggested Blade Runner, better get clickin and give them a neg too.

    The Crow. While I think Brandon Lee (RIP) did a fine job, I would like to see an adaptation that stays truer to the source material.

    There's melee, ranged and hybrid. That's the only real difference other than the character model and particle effects.

    Why the fuck does Tatum keep getting roles? He was halfway decent playing a dumb fighter ( what a stretch ) and now he's the next big action star? I guess heavy eyeliner is supposed to make him interesting? And you put him in scenes opposite Sean fucking Bean? Full retard. Protip: Taking a...

    Medallions always drop from story mode supervillains, so you can get whatever one you want whenever, but the numbers on the affixes have ranges, so some will have better rolls. Medals (low level silver) are pretty much useless. I always keep one stack of pures of each crafting mat, and two of...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    In the early game, Overwatch tends to miss the vast majority of the time. Playing on I/I and relying on Overwatch, instead of hunkering down or breaking LoS will often result in plasma to the face. Also, they added a Second Wave option that does let the enemy attack when they are discovered...

    So, I've had hundreds of hours of enjoyment playing this game. I think the presentation is awesome, it's the only turn-based game I've played that doesn't feel turn based. But, I've been in denial about something. I sometimes watch Let's Play vids looking for tips on tactics that would help me...

    As I said, all heroes can be obtained for free. Of the 12 I have, I purchased 2. And I'll be getting Ghost Rider free in a few days. There's no real reason to spend money on anything but stash tabs.

    Pretty sure it's the same couple of artists that do all the models, there's an Art Bar thread they post in a lot. Now, the VFX for his powers is pretty damn good. The fire has a real liquid-y look to it, and the attack animations are nice, as is the bike, although the controls/movement are still...

    It's recorded, and yeah, he could do that, but he would also have to redo his commentary every time, and I don't think he's faking his surprise when he runs into new stuff etc. He also does Let's Play's for other games.

    There no way anyone who has played I/I can watch ChristopherOdd's vids and not wonder if something is up. He has some skill, sure, but the bad decisions and mistakes that he gets away with are many. I'm not the only one who has noticed and commented on this. It could be as simple as using the...
