Sorcery! (Steve Jackson) was also really good. I think I was 10 or 11 reading that. The writing is more flourid and intricate than most Fighting Fantasy / Choose your own books. But I really don't know if you could find any print copies. A quick ebay search looks like they're going 5-25...

Thread is sorta gay just in the premise. We're a bunch of housewives sitting around talking about our stories. You think Don Draper is out there during the season breaks talking about what's going to happen to Sam on the next season of Bewitched? Hell no, Don Draper is out there fucking...

Oh it's a tragedy, but the Death of Walt is central to the tragedy. Realization of his mortality and his inability to accept his life is what started the entire thing. Having him live happily ever after would be the ultimate cop out. It might be ok as social commentary, but as story telling...

Correct me if I'm wrong, because I might be very very wrong -- I imagine that if a soldier did want to read that information all he has to do is go down to the starbucks, use their wifi, and do his search. So it's sounds hinky as shit on the surface of it, but it's an army agency...

Well, as the last surviving name-bearing member of the house I guess Arya probably has the right to change the house motto "House Stark -- We wanna rock and roll all night, and party ev'ery day"

Walts been a dead man walking since he was diagnosed with lung cancer, so Walt dying is a given. The questions there are only will it be onscreen or offscreen, will it be a violent adversarial shootout or will he suffocate alone in his bed? Jesse is the much more interesting part. Walt...

*Doogaaawl The triple A is weird, but that's french for you. Cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Then you are unable to grasp the salient issue and simply prefer to wallow in misery. You really do think that the use of "leisure" refers to wealth, don't you?

You shut your whore mouth. I for one welcome our new Bear Wrasslin overlords.

The thing about that is that every now and then you will have a battered woman murder her husband and "get away" with a greatly reduced sentence on account of being a battered woman. And I don't think I remember anyone claiming that's a great injustice. Imagine the rape-slaves in cleveland had...

Of course they are. That's the point. And you know what? If you go after malpractice tort, administrative graft, cost of education, and systemic inefficiencies at the same time a lot of doctors would be totally cool with taking a pay cut.

I really would like to live in the world where that is literally the worst thing a person can do. But nope, I live in a world of killswitches and LASER CLAN.

I'm pretty sure that the "No Death Panels" clause in the ACA would prevent Obama from deployment of the Death Ray. LASER CLAN.

The really edgy thing to do would be to have Hank shoot Walt in the face the 1st episode, then you have the other 5-6 where it's just Skylar going to the carwash and crying. Edgy. As. Fuck.

Burt, minus the being rich. I just sit around and think everybody's dumb. But I also don't really care.

Nah man, he's just a flunky. But once he realizes what happened -- well, what would you do? Speak up and get killswitched? Or would you stand very still and be very quiet hoping the the Elder Thing walking past decides you're not worth the effort? The internet answer and the IRL answer are...

Black Sun is pretty decent. I'd honestly put it as one of the best in category for Swords and Sorcery Fantasy. It's an entirely enjoyable halfbreed of dumb pulp and "serious" fantasy that skirts deeper themes, and it's fairly clever. Dan brown, awful. Just awful. William Gibson... while I...

As far as the drug test you should be fine. 10mg 1 week later? I think the real question is why are you taking percocet while you drink. Do yourself a favor and just throw the bottle away. The pill bottle I mean.

Doesn't sign her posts. Don't think it's Aamina.

It's the name of a composer I like. Also an alt from eq1.

Nah, not a killswitch. He was a sleeper El-Queso agent. This was an elaborate martyrdom meant to sow doubt and chaos. Thinking that the NSA killed him for what he was about to reveal is EXACTLY why we need the NSA to never reveal anything! If you don't take the microchip in your brain...

I saw troll try to think once. He promised to warn me next time. I'm still holding him to that promise. You can look at it if you want to.

I'm not trying to be a dick but I do sort of hope that the ratings are bad for the final half season. The only reason I hope that is so that this doesn't become a trend, not because i've got a hate hard-on. It's a good show but that's a super shitty thing to do to the fans. Unless there was...

Well it's hard to fall in love with someone "as a person" in the first five minutes. Which is how that storyline really played out. They got married in a fever! Don was rebounding hard, Megan saw an opportunity. They took advantage of each other at the same times as they were genuinely...

Oh I don't know. My state government is pretty sane. Corrupt as shit and not generally serving the interest of the people, but sane. The true crazy comes out of the federal authority, and most of that from the Congress. The executive has been pretty fucked up for our entire lives (unless...

A thread so gay not even the riskshaw could contain it.

Trudy is A++ for sure. If the only thing Pete accomplishes next season is to repair his very serious fuck ups with Trudy then his character will have a happy ending.

Bro, Megan's very pretty but she's vacant. She actually chooses to be vacant, and she chooses it a lot. Ideal woman? Dude. Is that all you want? Sure she's not all bad. No one is. It's easy to hate on her a little bit too much. But Don can do better for himself even if that is just...

When they're talking about charging him with espionage, man... it's not so unreal. That rhetoric is completely the fuck out of control. That's a heavy charge that still carries the death penalty. They haven't seriously charged a man with that since the damn 50's. Not even that guy in Los...

Yeah, they've all been mentioned but I have to agree with the Civ(1,2,4), New Vegas, and Mount & Blade. You'd probably need to throw a few final fantasies in there tbh for completeness. Like FF3. Shit, I'd even put DA and DA:O on the list. Didn't like Civ3 that much but it wasn't bad...

Basically the same way people watch B movies without the MST3K / Elvira voice overs and snarky comments. Or the way that people can actually enjoy going to folk-art festivals without being "ironic". They just enjoy to see all this useless, pointless, self-aware CRAP that people spent a little...

Look dude, I'm saying it takes more than "broke an unjust law" to become an Real American Hero. You can say that what Snowden did is justifiable and make that argument -- it's a very good argument to have. You can't make the argument that the oath-breaking by itself is right. Hell, Weaver is...

I don't know about an American Hero -- but he damn sure is being persecuted to a degree completely out of proportion to his offenses. I don't know that Randy Weaver (ruby ridge) was an american hero either. The more they escalate the rhetoric in pursuit of Snowden the more sinister the...

Really Yes, really. God damn. What did I just say? No, it's like YOU forget. What I just said. Pay the fuck attention. Or does it? What the hell are you even trying to say? Ah... trotting out the old "appeal to tits" dog? Way to lose the argument, Hitler.

Yeah, I dunno either. They may not go that route. The only reason I'm thinking they may have to is because of the recurring cast. If the final season is an all Don affair that's a huge thematic change to the series. The only way they can really keep the core ensemble around AND have a Don...

Bullshit. It's the mummy curse. But all they need to do to stop that shit from happening is face it twords mecca. What, Catholics are the only ones allowed to have miracle statues?

Yeah it was shitty of Roger, but Roger has money problems with his daughter and Joan has him by the son. They give you the idea that Roger has to look out for Roger really heavily in his 3 scenes so at least it wasn't just an out of the blue "haha, sorry ol' pal, thems the breaks!" Next season...

Hell, I thought Don was going to invent Hersheys Kisses during that pitch meeting. And I think Pete may be moving to California as well. I need to re-watch that scene with Trudy as well. At the very least Pete is incredibly unsettled both in his private and professional life atm. Like...

He's starting to detox. You could see his hand shaking. They made a point of showing it. He felt like being honest for once and it cost him everything. Well not just that one moment, but it was the camel's back. That was his replacement coming up the elevator, he was confessing at the...
