    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Ghost abandoned Jon Snow before he went with the Wildlings, when Jon was messing with the redhead. Samwell was the last to see Ghost in Episode 1 or 2 of this season in the distance if I recall.

    This is what it is supposed to do, yeah. Next is built on a lot of 4e hate that was built on a lot of fallacies and it is throwing out too much of the good. Add to this some of their designers seem to be just "what the fuck were you thinking" awful in what they seem to be good ideas (they...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    Was the extra scene "meaningless" as in, that was dumb, or was it perhaps a reference so obscure most people won't get it? Keeping in mind I have no idea how much you know about Marvel Comics, etc.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Finally caught this weeks episode. The Tyrell women really are just fantastic, I don't know if it is just because I was unaware so it is surprising for me or what, but the two Tyrell women just make me happy. Varys continues to be one of my favorites. Telling the story for the big reveal...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    The article states that the 5 anarchist attacks were separate from the 51 right-wing one. It also points out during the 70's most of the domestic terror was far-left groups. I think the point of the article is less "omg right wingers!" and more "the muslims really aren't a horrible threat...

    Star Trek TNG, Best of Both Worlds

    I'm not even much of a Star Trek fan and thought this whole thing was kind of silly, but right here? He has a real good point.

    Well, didn't a lot of Book 4 end up in 5? So I think saying "THERE WILL ONLY BE SEVEN" is hardly written in stone I would think.

    There is a fairly new Lord of the Rings RPG out, supposed to be very good, a few people in our group keep talking about it.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There are worse people that Jamie. Yes. Being less evil than other people doesn't make you not evil though. Jamie isn't a sadist, he doesn't get off on killing or raping or the suffering of others, but he does what he pleases and is happy to sacrifice others in whatever way seems handy to...

    Sounds about right. Pym has been there and had a hand in way too many critical events that killing him so long ago is a good idea.

    D&D Next seems to have taken 4e and 3e and squished them together into a new mutant offspring that seems mostly worse off than either. You can see some good ideas in there being suffocated by layers of inept design. Like a constant "Two steps forward, three steps back" type of scenario. Each...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm pretty convinced, from the show's perspective at least, Jamie did what he did to save Brianne. That he did come around to respecting her during their little walk and thought that was a shit thing to happen. Jamie doesn't strike me as a big "rapey" kind of guy.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    At some point in Season 2 he says to her "I have heard some terrible rumors mother!", I think when Stannis sent everyone the email about Joffrey being an mutant-incest-bastard, as it was hard to avoid the rumors at that point. She said "Oh of course not!" or some such. So what he believes in...

    After several years of 4e one of my groups just reverted back to Pathfinder. I agree that combat is a shitload faster, but it seems to have a lot to do with not being able to do much compared to 4e. Low level 4e characters have multiple abilities some or all that can put effects on people...

    Yeah, I swear Cersei and Tyrion sat down and had this little conversation and he accused her of having the baby in Littlefinger's brothel killed, then when she even looked a bit shocked and disgusted there was this kind of shocked moment of silence between them of "Well if YOU didn't do that...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, I think you are right, I'm getting my trope-y-things confused. I was looking for the "girls want to do him and guys want to be him" type. I forgot the name for that.

    Thor: The Dark World.

    I really disliked Captain America movie at first but in hindsight, I like it much more and think it works well as his origin, *especially* the propaganda part. Anyway, one of his key abilities is "leadership" I think and I'd like to see more of it.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't see Jamie as likable at this point as he just seems too "mary sue" you like him because you want to be him type character. I just don't, so I don't find hime likable. He saved Brianne and I'll give him credit there and maybe he does redeem himself. Up until two weeks ago I would have...

    I have plugged A Song of Ice & Fire a few times which is a very nice skill based game set in Game of Thrones, though I imagine you could ignore the setting and use ot to play more historical, non-magic, pre-firearms games with near zero effort. There are a few issues but overall quite nice. I...

    Thor: The Dark World.

    I seem to recall in Planet Hulk and World War Hulk, Hulk was coherent most of the time and Hulk talked to Banner a lot in his head during Planet Hulk.

    I think I just don't really care about Essos? My interest is what is going on in the wars and politics of the Seven Kingdoms, and I just have no interest to hear about or get involved in the stuff happening on the other side of the pond there and even to a certain degree beyond the Wall. Yes...

    Thor: The Dark World.

    First movie was much better than I expected. Trailer makes me tingle in my no-nos. I am quite pleased, and a bit surprised, they got everyone (looks like everyone?) back.

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    I think it is for when someone blows up something with fertilizer from this place, they can figure out where it came from in a hopes to track down the people responsible? As far as DHS is concerned.

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    This seems very similar to that outbreak from that Boston-area compounding place that gave people spinal meningitis or whatever it was a year or two ago. They want to make a few extra bucks, so they find ways through lax government regulations, then a bunch of innocent people suffer for it...

    If that were true, people outside prison wouldn't go into terminal downward spirals of drugs or drinking or end up killing themselves. You can only make that statement from a wholly rational standpoint, which humans aren't. Even then, most prisons aren't too horrible as you'll just get out...
