    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    They very much need to refine some things. "It's kind of a hodgepodge mess" is an entirely valid criticism. Their content flow is going to be BIZZARE. They've got problems. Kinda meta problems. But if you're going to have a problem they've got maybe the least-bad type. Their team doesn't...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    There really isn't. I know it's hard to believe but there REALLY isn't. Ut got kicked out of this thread early. Not that he would be trolling either -- he just legit goes insane over stuff like this. The rest of us who might take some genuine enjoyment out of trolling this thread... it's...

    Robocop - Remake

    Robocop has always been pretty cheesy. But the thing is that most of those movies were pretty cheesy. Cheesy wasn't something to be ashamed of and on the scale of "how cheesy was it?" Robocop doesn't come anything CLOSE to the Toxic Avenger. Robocop is a serious sci-fi introspective compared...

    Movies that are ruined by their endings

    Every lesbian porno ever. Maybe Last of the Mohecians? Not the directors cut. The theatrical release was gorgous. But the movie... just.. kinda. ended. To the point where I walked out of the theater thinking, "Well what the fuck was the point of THAT? Besides being pretty. Oh, and the...

    They're not customers or clients or dates, man. That's just the kind of thing that people say to avoid looking despair square in the face. And I don't blame them. Nobody likes to look despair square in the eyes. But you should know better by now. If you want to help these girls, stop...

    Disaster Preparedness and Survival Training

    It might take longer than you'd think. There's a small transformer up the street. I'm pretty sure it would take more than 2-3 bullets to disable it. Not saying anything more than I'm saying which is only it may very credibly take about a minute of shooting relatively small bullets at a...

    EVE: Valkyrie

    If you want to play a game where space is space-sized hopefully it'll be single player. Because if it's multi player you will NEVER see another player. The moon is way high up there, yo. This thread pains my inner luddite. If they make this and it's not horrible, does this mean I have...

    Weather

    I did that for a while and then came to realize why people don't do that. Snakes. You also get butterflies, which is a plus. But you get these swarming little termite looking gnats (that aren't actually termites) that the butterflies eat. And the mosqitos. I apparently exude some sort...

    Sutekh lives in northern Ohio with his wife of 7 years and his 4 year old son. Sometimes as he's driving to work he passes one of those old strip malls that has a laundrymat, a bingo parlor, a check cashing place, a pizza hut in the parking lot, and a lot of cavernous empty storefronts. He...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He's kinda swell. It's probably a good thing that he dies, because he hit a growth spurt and it's increasingly hard to credit him as a boy-king.

    You know, with the state that vanguard was in it's fairly obvious they had some inexperienced people working on that game. That's being charitable. There was an Xbox folder in the beta that you downloaded. Brad got his funding claiming he was going to make a cross platform game. Don't...

    House of Cards

    I remember from the interviews with spacey that the way it happened is that netflix approached him and his (company / writers / business?) and said "we want a show". Spacey said "We want 2 years". Netflix said "k". And it is apparently an unprecedented way to do business, Spacey was...

    Riddick (2013)

    They're way, way better than shitty B movies have any right to be. True spiritual successor to Conan the Barbarian. They're better than a fair amount of the "serious" shit that hollywood pumps out. I just feel bad for how horrible it's gonna be to be something that Riddick gives a fuck...

    Minor car accident - now with ambulance chasing law firm

    It seems like no police or police report screws them more than it screws you. Way more. To the point where if they did come after you personally all you have to do is say, "Prove it. Never seen you before in my life." Obviously don't do that... but. Or "Prove it. My insurance companies...

    Three is the number, and the number shall be three. Two is one less than what is required and four is only the second multiple of two -- which is not in any sense three. Neither shall the number be one, nor five. But six is the number of the beast of many vaporwares and is to not be for a...

    Shh. He's high. Also from france. You'll get collateral pussy just taking a French or British guy around to parties. Don't fuck it up. Edit: Strangely not German or Scandinavian though. That's an entirely different vibe.

    Yeah, well, these fuckin yankees will be talking about derp mayberry and "herherher that's not a city" if you don't qualify it. Make your state sound completely shitty, even the parts that aren't shitty -- you won't have to lie often, just to keep those assholes where the fuck they belong.

    Sure man. But he can be a shitty human being and a good actor at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive things. Plenty of good human beings that can't act for shit.

    Philip Seymour Hoffman Found Dead

    He didn't get many feature parts. He was getting supporting bit parts, but he was doing them so well that (and maybe he's got a big starring role in a movie I just haven't seen)... he would have done it really well. Was he our Peter O'Toole? Fuck, nah. But he really was quite good...

    The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

    There's also a very plain cops and robbers expectation on the part of the audience for Goodfellahs. Even if Ray Liotta had never got caught, retired to Miami, and lived the goodlife it's a different type of narrative. It's just a political subject. Honestly, I think only 3 dudes could get...

    Weather

    Yeah, American cities are mostly a collective of towns. I'm thinking of a small city (it's too small to even be called a city in a more populated state) called Winston-Salem. It was obviously two towns that merged. But the interesting thing about that city is that, and maybe it's changed...

    Jack is kinda superman. And the show knows it. And the show knows you know it. And if at any point you have a problem with that you can go right ahead and fuck yourself. He keeps America safe. It's a good show for the type of show that it is. You'll either like it or go "meh". It's...

    The Robots are Coming (DoD to replace one fourth of soldiers with bots by 2030)

    I assume that in a real situation either the machine becomes quickly useless and exposed for being another DoD boondoggle... or there is some sort of electronic signalling at work. Truck only stops if you have the red keycard, bro. Otherwise you get splatted. Which seems to dovetail in with...

    Seriously, Happiness is physically painful to watch. He's exceptional in that movie. Why was there a span of movies... for like 5 years in the late 90's movies were trying to top each other on how relentlessly fucked up they could be. It's like some bizzare reaction to the 80's...

    I dunno. At the very least they are high precision guided missiles. I mean at the absolute least you just pack them with dynamite and kamikazi them into apartment buildings. You don't even have to drive your tank to within 2 miles of the target anymore, and you don't need your battleship...

    That's a really odd mix for a song like that. Usually they go one way or the other and that one sort of tries to stay in the middle. Garth Brooks did terrible things to these songs and these performers.
