    But I can already do only the stories that I want to do in the current iteration of the paradigm (this is usually referred to as "playing the game" rather than being "a pathetic drug fiend") and the tasking is still just as linear in the new iteration. It will have to be without procedurally...

    Man of Steel

    This movie was truly terrible. I expect so little out of a superman movie. Y u do dis, Snyder? I wish they'd just go back to making "one ex-special forces commando takes on a (commie plot/cocaine dealers/biker gang/robots from the future/convent of militant lesbian nuns)" action movies. I...

    Eh. It's just another boring quest if it has no impact. You might as well click the !, read (or skip) some text, hit accept, and go collect your ten bear asses. It's -still- run maze, hit button, receive food pellet. They're just adding a pre-maze. All that's really doing is replacing one...

    It's a nice idea, but ultimately that is going to take too much maintenance to work in aMassiveMultiplayer Online. It will require an evolving game environment rather than a static one and that won't happen. Interesting idea, good tool, imperfect application. Narrow the scope and they...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    The ACLU is fine. I support the ideals. That doesn't mean I support every little fight they decide to pick. The problem with the ACLU is when they get bored and start picking nits. That isn't most of the time but it sure is a lot of the time and that's still far better than it being none of...

    For it's brilliant one month run Earth and Beyond DID try that. It doesn't translate into a MMO the way you'd want it to. Eve does it better. What you need for a merchant prince style of gameplay is a robust auction interface that includes buy orders, actual player driven demand, and...

    Dexter

    Dexter isn't big on nudity anyway, I doubt she needs a special clause. Deb just needs to go butch already. The entire last season needs to be her slipping into heroin addiction (on account of how fucked up her life is), cruising lesbian bars, and hooking up with at least two russian stripper...

    Nik Wallenda walks across the Grand Canyon on a tightrope?

    I heard this segment too and the first thing I thought was "Why?" After the segment had ended my question had refined itself to "Why the fuck?" I can understand why a man would want to do it, what I don't understand is why so many other men want to gather and watch him. Besides for the he...

    Emma Watson's Queen of the Tearing

    It sounded like that as soon as it self-referred as "A Female Game of Thrones". More derivative garbage. Best case you get some emma-watson body double sideboob outta this. GoT might have zombies, but the 100% absolute best thing that GoT has going for it the one thing above all others that...

    DC Universe Online

    Yeah, if you've never played it. 1-30 is pretty fun. Stuff that you can do solo is pretty fun the first few times. You can find some good players still playing the game, but 95% (and I'm not being hyperbolic) of the people that play this game are just BAD at it. Frustratingly bad. But...

    Yeah, it's weird that someone already invested in the show wouldn't think this is a very strong season. 50 Shades of Draper (shudder) notwithstanding. The show stopped being just about Don by the end of season 3 I think. But if you do watch the show JUST for Don yeah, I can see how the show...

    I'm 90% sure that Chaos works in MiniPlenty. I don't know exactly what he does, but I suspect it involves growing and then burning giant bonfires of cabbage just so the proles starve.

    Bob's Burgers

    Louise is good, but I like Gene more. Most shows have a character like Louise but I really can't think of a show that's had a character like Gene without making it overtly gay. It's usually the little touches with Gene rather than the big gags. It's like Linda has three daughters! Altho...

    North Korea goes full retard

    Wouldn't even be a contest. If Seoul was Tel-Aviv we would have already reduced Kim-Jong to ash. Even the camel jockeys would beat him. It would be like the panzers rolling over polish mounted cavalry. Maybe we should just conquer it by arms and "offer" NK to the palestinians. Sounds like...

    James Gandolfini Dead at 51.

    That season felt like the one where the writers decided it should end. But then like wheelbarrows full of money convinced them to do another season or two. From the other thread, I didn't realize he made so many movies.

    James Gandolfini dead at 51!!

    So 10 were during the Sopranos? I'm not trying to be a dick at all. He made 10 movies during season breaks? That's kinda impressive.

    The rest of the movie was excellent, so we can forgive one small vanity that went too far. It may even serve to make the movie better in a way. There's a hitch in the counterpoint in the opening to the second movement of Symphony of Psalms. It only happens once and it passes very quickly but...

    Box office flops that deserve a sequel

    How would you even do a sequel to Munchausen? That movie even manages to make Uma Thurman look good. That movie is straight up art. Sure lots of films are called "art films", but c'mon... those are usually just drug laced piles of pretty pseudosentimental vomit (i'm looking at you...

    It was basically a Don/Pete episode and it was convoluted. Pete was doing the right things for the wrong reasons at the expense of the company, Don was doing the right things for the wrong reasons for the benefit of the company (or at least the benefit of him, roger, and burt). Don was being...

    Heal parsing is retarded on a fundamental level. We'd always have newbie dipshits in my Rift guild that tried to be all bad and link heal parses. Did anyone die? Then your heal parse is 1. For everyone that died, subtract one -- you can't go negative. That's the only HP number that matters...

    I think Sally and Glen are actually decent. Glen is pretty one dimensional, but that's all that's required of the character. And boys at that age are pretty damn one dimensional IRL anyway. Sally does a good job of playing a not-terribly-interesting young teenager. And lets be real...

    Most ER's I've ever been in have had some sort of unofficial triage to deal with that situation when it occurs. Around here we tend to funnel our pillheads into the clinics. Mileage will vary though. Not even State to State -- city to city. I guess in a big city it could be a significant...

    Pete is craftier than that, I think. Pete's really not letting it slide. He leveraged Bob so that he's now "off limits", so that Bob will keep his distance, and to help control his mother. And that even makes sense, Pete isn't relying on Bobs sense of honor. The agreement will stand...
