    True Blood

    Pretty much this. Stefan and Elena's relationship is pretty Twilight-ish at the beginning, but other than that Vampire Diaries is pretty fucking solid. The teen romancey drama is a bit heavy at times, but the characters and cast are top-notch, and you can tell the writers (mostly) really think...

    ^^ Seriously. Some people need to grow the fuck up.

    Continuum

    I mainly watch this show cause I think the main actress is hot and it's Sci-Fi. That being said, it ain't that great. Very little science fiction, since it takes place mostly in present day, and as others have pointed out, there's some pretty lame writing and plot holes. My personal fave being...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You're thinking too much about it like it's some comedic cartoony lawful good. It aint. "Good implies altruism, respect for life, and a concern for the dignity of sentient beings. Good characters make personal sacrifices to help others." Lawful Good "Lawful Good is known as the "Saintly"...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Here we go with this again. Personal vengeance? That was just a bonus. They rebelled against and replaced theMadKing. Mad, get it? It don't mean he was pissed off. They did it because they had to. Robert never wanted to be fucking king. "Nicknamed the Mad King, his reign became increasingly...

    What about hacking? Messing around in cyberspace was one of the best things about the Sega version.

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    There was one. 12 years ago EA launched Motor City Online, and it was awesome. So, of course they fucked it up. Taken offline in just under 2 years. EA was more interested in focusing on Sims Online.

    Let's not. Finally a thread derail about MMOs that doesn't bring up fucking EQ. This thread should have it's own fucking holiday.

    Fast and the Furious 6

    It's been a while, but iirc Vin was asked to come back for 2 and declined. And I think they already had the script and had to do a major rewrite. Think he decided to do XXX instead. No, not porn.

    Path of Exile

    It's mostly still active due to stupid fuck-ups, like the recent RMAH exploit that let people generate hundreds of billions of gold.

    The Tomorrow People

    Well, it's an ancient BBC show, and they are probably keeping the same name to try to get old fans of the show to notice it. Same producer as Arrow, so hopefully it's as good as that show. But they're teenagers, so we will probably get lots of angst and teen relationship drama. Not to mention...

    Angelina Jolie has double mastectomy

    I find the timing amusing, and I'm sure the conspiracy theorist will have a field day with it. That being said, lots of people die in their 50's and 60's. Who wants to live to be 90 any fuckin' way?

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    Show has some interesting bits, but too many problems to be really good. My main gripes are the music and lots of the dialogue. Music is way heavy-handed. This scene is supposed to be ominous, so we'll play really loud ominous music, rather than have the scene actually BE ominous, or scary, or...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    Which is retarded, ain't it? You have one example of money-hat success, and like a dozen attempted clones that failed and either ended up as shark-bait, or floating around on the F2P life-raft. How many more failures will it take? What's the definition of insanity again? In my opinion, making...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    I've been in the same boat for a while now with similar results. Not too excited about much that's coming on the MMO front either. I strongly feel that the next Wow-level-of-success is going to come out of the East. They have some amazing coders and artists, if they can just build around a...

    In order for that to be accurate they'd have to be able to verify the speed of the plane the whole time, not to mention many of the scenes shown after the plane started moving most likely happened simultaneously. So, useless calculation.

    Path of Exile

    For all of Normal and Cruel up until it stops being faceroll you should be running with as much IIR as you can. You don't really need any upgrades til then, plus you'll find quite a bit more rares. Whenever I start a new character I run with my leveling uniques, IIR, and a decent weapon. It's...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Really hope they stick with the PVP balancing not effecting PVE. Trion devs came out and clearly stated that they wouldn't nerf PVE because of PVP and that promise lasted like, what, a week after launch? Which is what led to the amazing diversity of class builds getting fucked. Too many games...

    True, but I don't listen to Gates speak. Does he also think he's some kind of visionary who was out to change the world, when he was just some slob trying to make a quick buck? lol

    Downloaded Official Napster Movie

    Looks to me like the Napster guys are full of shit. All that shit they spew about what they did. All they did was make an easy to use UI, so that even retards could do what the rest of us had been doing for years on MIRC.

    What did you just read?

    Sounds interesting, thanks for the recommendation, G. If you like Stackpole, Talion: Revenant is a great book. A Hero Born is also decent, if not quite as good. Really wish he would have done more books involving the Talions. http://www.amazon.com/Talion-Revenan.../dp/0553576569

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well, since it won't be the Lord of Light throwing lightning bolts down on them, I would guess it would be either some bad luck and/or dissension caused by the usual "negative aura" that influences peoples emotions.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Joffrey considers himself a Lannister simply because he's a momma's boy. He was raised by Cersei, while Robert was off drinking and whoring, remember? IIRC they had very little interaction and Robert pretty much despised him. I'd have to go rewatch some of season 1 to be sure.

    Doh! I wish you had posted that second link at the same time as the first. And now I see that the case was dismissed by the idiot prosecutors. This is what happens when people try to enforce laws they don't understand. I am dissapoint.

    Don't really have a problem with flying mounts, as long as the game is designed from the ground up with flying mounts in mind.
