    Breaking Bad

    There is such a thing as too much foreshadowing. When you're taking stills of the bookcase Jesse was looking at and reading plot into the names of books, things have gone full LOST. It's one of the things I like least about his writing. He intentionally encourages that sort of thing to...

    I try to bring it up where I can just so that other people will yell at you. Troll level: Little Sister.

    Best mind blowing movie.

    For me Primer wasn't mind blowing so much as it was just confusing. Intentionally so and confusing in the best way, don't get me wrong. The subject matter is confusing as shit. It dealt with time travel in what is probably a more realistic manner than almost every other treatment of the idea...

    War with Syria

    Kerry is a bad god damn joke. I hope he runs in 16 just so that he can lose again. But I think realistically that Sec of State was his retirement cookie.

    No better shows have ever existed than Seinfeld or X-files.

    I'm not gonna claim that it was either the best aliens movie or the best predator movie. It wasn't that by any stretch. All it was was a fill in summer blow shit up movie. That's really all it was and all it pretended to be. I expected it to be absolutely retarded when I watched it, and it...

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    I'd forgotten that R.E.M. was sort of the Eurythmics of the 90's. That song and Red Rain by Peter Gabriel are great songs to listen to about once every five years.

    War with Syria

    Beset by bad press? Pretend to be willing to start a war. But don't actually do it because the entire point is to AVOID bad press. Wars in the middle east which last longer than 3 months or so are sure to generate some bad press for you. Instead, let the Congress stew and stalemate on the...

    Or the NSA watching me poop! Or Trayvon! It's just a good old fashioned warmongering against arabs! Refreshing, really. Reminds me of times past. Better days.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    You're linking Tortanic as support for a "this is profitable" argument. You're linking Rift -- which underperformed by most metrics and went f2p a while ago. Meanwhile Trion are pretty much chopshopping themselves in a desperate attempt to remain solvent after Defiance managed to do absolutely...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    No, what we think of as the "MMO Market" is not imploding. It's already imploded. Like it or not, that market lives and dies with WoW. Online games are moving in a different direction. If you don't like LoL or Minecraft that sucks for you then. The graphic-diku muds are gonna be real slim...

    War with Syria

    Yeah. And that's a problem. We really have no fucking idea who DID it. We know that someone did. So basically we have no grounds for a punitive action. We don't know who to aim the missiles at. Even if we did know exactly who to aim the missiles at -- it makes no difference since the...

    War with Syria

    I'll admit it's a stretch about the plane-- but given the resources and determination of the rebel factions it's not an unthinkable possibility to me. This is an entity which promotes martyrdom in irregular soldiers. Gassing their own people for the greater goal of victory... well, it...

    War with Syria

    I guess it depends on who you assume used the chemical weapons and why. Either a rebel group used them or Assad's group did. If it was a rebel group, they used them either because they had them (which I find most likely) or as a gambit to force world powers to step into (and quell) the...

    Do the right thing was horrible though. Straight up horrible. I know it was widely acclaimed, but it was horrible. Watch it again if you don't believe me. You won't because it's terrible. But it was a surefire way for a young film maker to get a LOT of attention. There's not many ways he...

    War with Syria

    Too aggressive for doves, not aggressive enough for hawks. That's why it made me laugh. And there's a glimmer of truth in it. Sometimes a moderate stance is straight up retarded. I say this as a self identifying moderate.

    Well really my point is that neither of them are worth hero worship. Neither of them are really worth much of anything. That's why they're working at SOE. If it weren't for a lifelong friendship with Smed they'd both be scrounging scams on kickstarter. It should really tell you something...

    Nah. I mean why the Brad worship? He didn't write any of the areas you love. He didn't write Guk. He didn't author iAD&D, graphic edition. He lifted ideas from sojurn and tweaked them. And that's perfectly fine. That's competence. He dun good. It's not exactly genius. If you put Brad...

    No better shows have ever existed than Seinfeld or X-files.

    For a movie titled Alien Versus Predator i'm not sure what level of cinematic excellence and insightful storytelling it is that you were expecting. AVP was pretty good. You saw xenomorphs didn't you? You saw predators didn't you? They fight, don't they? Humans have to avoid being eaten...

    War with Syria

    Obama has no international support. None. This is even counting the nations who are willing to offer covert encouragement and nothing of tangible value. His domestic support, such as it is, is weak. That support primarily comes from John McCain and career hawks employed directly by defense...

    No better shows have ever existed than Seinfeld or X-files.

    I'll give Seinfeld that. At least he spread the shit evenly. FRIENDS was racist propaganda if you think about it. The two that weren't vaguely jewish were "cute but dumb"? That is not FRIENDLY at all! Not even a little bit!

    War with Syria

    That's fine, and true, but don't forget in considering that that there is a risk an action like this would do the exact opposite. If the United States is seen as a clear aggressor (which if he launched a strike tomorrow, we would CLEARLY be, you can't wrap the flag tight enough around that...

    War with Syria

    McCain has been all in for years and has gathered entirely unimpressive support on the issue. As for democrats, when Hillary suggested a pre-emptive action years ago when Assad began having troubles, she was quietly informed to shut the fuck up about Syria. The underlying question is the...

    Chandler Bing got pretty damn funny in the back half of the show and Phoebe's songs were funny twords the middle of the run. Such classics as, "Smelly cat, smelly cat, what have they been feeding you?" or... "Little black hair, little black hair." A blonde woman singing a song about her...

    Nah, they won't. Congress is just fine with killing babies. Congress is not even ashamed of killing babies. The Syria hawkish minority is very loud but otherwise not very impressive. It won't be like 95-0-5 or anything stupid like that, but it's not gonna pass the Senate. It stands even...

    With that speech his face is saved. Not only can he claim to the world that while he tried, he is only a President and not an Emperor he can also claim to the American public that, "Hey look, I follow the Constitution ideals of balance of powers!" To be fair, he does respect the odd numbered...

    Sounds like he's got two weeks to go out there and fabricate some I Give A Shits. Assuming that he doesn't go insane and just lob missiles into Damascus because "American world leadership" (which he still might, Tad isn't crazy, it just sounds like an outside bet) then this thing dies in the...
