    Torrents

    Technically speaking, only getting to 1:1 will avoid it. But if you just seed to 50 bonus points and zap it (follow their instructions, people seem to have problems but I never have), it is gone just the same. I do it all the time, so don't worry too much about H&Rs as long as you have bonus...

    Torrents

    Easiest way to not worry about ISP notices and such is to get yourself a VPN. I use PrivateInternetAccess for something like $40 a year, and they don't keep any records of what your traffic consists of, so even if someone tried to nail you by getting a court order, there is nothing for them to...

    Too many games?

    I've got much the same problem as the rest of you, extended to books and movies as well. I would need to literally be stranded on a deserted island with nothing but a working computer, my steam account, my Kindle, and a home theater system, for the rest of my life, to even stand a chance of...

    Starship Troopers (reboot)

    Starship Troopers was the first science fiction book I ever read, and while it was enough to get me hooked on the genre, the movie really is far, far more entertaining. A true adaptation of the book would be fairly bleak and depressing. Now, if they did it right and "Platooned" it so to speak...

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

    Samuel L. Jackson is also a whore (no offense, Sam) and quite literally wants to appear in as many things as he possibly can, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were his own idea in the first place.

    Suggestions for a new author / series of books for me to read?

    Because it was like 1980 and I was 11? Skipping the fact that it is likely there wasn't even a VHS version of that movie available then, it isn't like today where I could have just searched Netflix for it and watched it on my own TV without anyone knowing.

    Suggestions for a new author / series of books for me to read?

    Gah, Pearl S. Buck and The Good Earth brings up such memories. I had almost forgotten about it. I was a very good student throughout almost all of my educational career, and I always loved to read, but I literally could not get myself to finish that book during junior high, and had to have a...

    Transcendence

    Pretty much this. Substantially less interested after that trailer, and even more so after seeing it is Depp. At least he's not a bumbling drunk in this one, so I would have been ok with him most likely, but it looks dumb as fuck to boot.

    Donating Plasma

    I don't know anything about donating plasma, but back in high school and college when I used to donate blood they always said it would be tested for STDs and drugs and the like. Do they not do the same with plasma? I can't imagine they would keep paying drug-addled homeless people repeatedly...

    Amazing Spider-Man 2

    I never hated Superman Returns, but it was a bit of a disappointment. I will say that the space shuttle/airplane scene is probably one of the best superhero scenes ever put to film though.

    The Expendables 3 (2014)

    No, seriously! Did you watch this season of The Ultimate Fighter? She's a HUGE cunt, and she gets this cry-ey whiney blotchy red-faced look at the drop of a hat anytime she gets it into her head that someone has wronged her or been mean to her or...well just about any reason really...which you...

    Almost Human

    Someone mentioned they fucked with the order of the first six episodes, so I think you're actually right that it is a much earlier episode than how they aired it. This is one of my favorite new shows of the season, which sucks because I'm going to be super disappointed when it is cancelled.

    Lego Car

    It doesn't say, but perhaps something like compressed air? I seem to remember some LEGO toys used to have air hoses and pumps, didn't they? In theory if they hooked up enough of that it could work. It obviously doesn't just "run on air" like we're thinking with air replacing gasoline in a...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I've been a fan and advocate of Togo's for as long as I can remember, but I realize they aren't nationwide. I've probably had at least one sandwich from there a month, often many more. I live about a mile from one, and there are a couple near work as well. I'm totally spoiled, I realize...

    Windows 8

    I've been wanting to make a new computer soon, but was despairing of paying another hundred bucks or so for Windows, so I went ahead and purchased one from that guy, and a spare just for the hell of it! For that price I'd rather have another one collecting dust just in case.

    should we remove nets

    I want to see the downvoted posts though too. If I really hated someone I'd just put them on ignore, but I've never done that because a) I've never hated someone that much, and b) I want to read the retardation they spew. Not to mention, a system like that is just as exploitable. Everyone...

    Amazing Spider-Man 2

    There are overwhelmingly positive comments about a LOT of comic book and/or nerd movies, so I'm not sure where you are coming from. Yeah, there is always someone that will stand up and call them faggots like you said, but if that number is relatively few it is fairly easy to see them for what...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Logged into the alpha just to get a feel for the game (they actually recommend that you DON'T play the alpha unless you really enjoy testing games), and aside from obvious issues with graphics, dead characters still trying to take a turn, and other clearly alpha problems, I like it. It is very...

    I voted no because I wanted to show solidarity with my starlet loving asian brothers (I'm checking my white privilege). As I said before, I'd like to have something, but the current system is also clearly in need of an overhaul. However, I think Astro's thread is pretty cool and I think it...

    Scott Lynch (Gentlemen Bastards)

    Yeah, I felt that way too. In my summary a page or so back I complained that almost nothing actually happened in the book beyond the possible "reveal" about Locke's past. I didn't care about the climax of either storyline, and nothing even remotely amazing happened along the way to excite me...

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a pedo is Gaige?

    I'd imagine I'm probably around your dad's age, so I'd agree to an extent, except I don't really care for bands like Primal Fear or Nightwish either. I downloaded both of their discographies a year or two ago, and probably never listened to more than 2 or 3 songs per album, at most, and never...

    I like being able to plus someone to let them know I laughed at the picture they posted or appreciated their thoughts. I almost never neg someone unless they ask for it though (I don't retribution neg either, even if I think you're retarded, because that's just gay), so I suppose that I'm not...

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a pedo is Gaige?

    That's an incredibly logical post! I suppose you're right, if I had spent more time looking around I probably could have found some I didn't mind, but everything I had heard up to that point turned me off, so I just stopped. Early Exodus is about as close as I ever got, and that's really...

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a pedo is Gaige?

    To each their own and all, but I've never been able to enjoy what I like to call "Wharblegarble" or "Grunting" Metal. I have never been able to "get" it. The vocals are a huge determining factor as to whether or not I listen to a band, and when I can barely distinguish the vocals from another...

    If Netflix isn't "free" enough for you, I don't know what to tell you. Now you've got me curious. Other than torrents/newsgroups, where exactly are you expecting to see previous seasons of ANY show for free? I haven't checked lately, but last I looked even the network websites didn't...

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

    I try my best not to blatantly insult someone, but I'm sure I have from time to time. Sometimes I'm just flabbergasted at the things you (or others) say, as they seem completely out of left field to me. And at times I'm sure that causes me to rip off a dickish reply when I shouldn't. If I...

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

    Well, since you're complaining about it, they DID call it exactly what you demanded...Agents of SHIELD. They didn't call it Superheroes of SHIELD. Agents. Like the ones that populate seemingly half the shows on television already. The Marvel at the front is purely for brand/name...

    I was just talking about this the other day too. But then when I thought about it, there aren't really any movies I can even think of that I'm waiting to see anyway. Riddick was really the last one I was looking forward to. Other than something that just came out like The Hobbit, is there...

    Re-Live the 80's

    I had some bitchin' all white Bugle Boy pants with numerous velcro pockets all over them that I rocked during high school. I cringe just thinking about that now. Nostalgia makes me reflect more favorably on a lot of the things from the 80s than they probably really were, but it did seem like...

    Yeah, I was going to post the Winger song "Seventeen" but it didn't fit the whole 16-year-old dynamic we've got going on in this thread. But, since any time is Winger time, here it is anyway!
