    North Korea goes full retard

    It can't fizzle out that way. East Germans were still germans. They weren't the one true germans, they were germans. Same as the guys on the other side of the wall. That was a nation occupied by a foreign power. This is a nation occupied by itself. You would think that the feudal power...

    Couples Swinging

    This is pretty much how I imagine 95% of swinging to be. Just kinda sad. Not in a moralistic "you dun wrong, be ashamed" sort of way. No wrong. No shame. But just kinda sad.

    Big Picasso's thread or BPT for short.

    I thought he wrote cock kids. as in not trannies. Or wait. No that's wrong. Gentlemen, they are among us, gentlemen.

    JJ Abrams to direct new Star Wars movie

    Oh, don't get me wrong. Even if what I fear about The Return of the Han Solo pans out to be 100% correct, I'm sure it'll still be better than 1-3.

    JJ Abrams to direct new Star Wars movie

    I do have to admit that hearing Harrison Ford will be in it makes me want to see it less, not more. I'm just fucking tired of these too old to be action hero nostalgia movies. That's just what Ford being on screen broadcasts to me. "Look, Han is still a rascal and he's super rich! How...

    North Korea goes full retard

    They'd object to American military intervention. Shit, Americans would object to American intervention. You gotta ask who's gonna do it. If the impetus is humanitarian / regional stability (and that's the only acceptable impetus) you're looking at at least 10 years of foreign occupation for...

    Vikings

    I really think this show looks great, and I like all the actors so far. I'm having a real problem getting invested in the tired-as-shit "evil earl wants to keep the smartypants serf in his place" plot though. They spent this much money on making everything look so nice... I just find myself...

    JJ Abrams to direct new Star Wars movie

    The theater I saw it in was quiet as well. It was kinda like this slow realization that this movie... it's just bad. And confusing. I remember thinking how bad the cuts were even in the theater. And i'm not the type of guy that does that. I think it's just midnite showings. You get lit...

    North Korea goes full retard

    I truly appreciate the final "here's what's at risk" that shows a picture of a cute korean girl. God damn right. At least I think that's a girl.

    Animated movies that surprised you

    Warning about Watership Down: that shit gave me nightmares as a kid. Literally i'd wake up in a sweat and crying. God damn scary fucking bunnies.

    North Korea goes full retard

    I suspect this either ends with China annexing North Korea, or it doesn't end. I can't see why China would WANT to annex North Korea. It would be like the US annexing mexico. We could do it at any time we pleased... but why in the fuck would we, and why would we want to? So I'm thinking...

    JJ Abrams to direct new Star Wars movie

    Because lucas signs the checks. Even lucas seems to know it's bad, he just doesn't really give a damn. He doesn't quite understand why Star Wars was iconic by his own admission. So at this point as someone working for him you have 2 options. Stand on your artistic integrity, tell him it's...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    The problem here is that it seems like you're basically saying, "If they make a game that people want to play for five years, then people will play it for five years!". I mean, sure. I guess. You're not wrong. It's just that's not the issue. He's making observations. The observation is...

    Homeowners

    Taking down trees and pulling stumps is fairly expensive. Clean filldirt isn't that expensive by the truckload, but clean topsoil is. At least around here. It kind of depends on what you need done exactly, how big the yard is, and what the market is like around there I guess. I know there...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    He's right from my perspective as well. I played EQ for.. I forget, years. I played daoc for about 2 years, a little over. Rift for a little over a year. Most of the other mmo's for less than a year. The longest i've played one single game was CoH. Beta till the day it closed. But...

    RIP(or is it RIH?) Hugo Chavez

    Don't fuck up the contrarian white knight argument with an actual look at the man or the repercussions of his leadership. HE WAS A HERO OF THE PEOPLE, I TELL YOU. HE POKED AMERICA IN THE EYE. Would the other guy have been worse for Argenteria? That is not only possible, but likely...

    RIP(or is it RIH?) Hugo Chavez

    Wow man. This thread. The only thing I wonder is how long he's been dead. I mean whatever. They should mummify him and parade him once a year. Like anyone in the states -really- gives a shit. Transfer of power probably worked better for those guys back when they did that. It's been a...

    You guys like the whales more than khan? I like the whales too, don't get me wrong. But... KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN is just so epic. He did a lot of LDS back in the 60's is also fairly epic, and show us vour nuklear wessels. I'd still have to go with khan tho. Spock...

    Anchorman: The Legend Continues

    Yeah, it's not like I hate Will Ferrel. But when one of his movies come out it's not like I'm thinking, "I MUST SEE THIS". And funny or die really isn't all that funny. But sure, Ferrel CAN be funny as shit sometimes.

    The Walking Dead

    I gave up on the show when they showed the Mayor of NoZombies Town had a wall of human heads in his office. All I could think of was Futurama, and I started to imagine fanfic where Rick was Fry, Maggie was Lela, and the korean dude was Bender. Totally killed my zombie boner.

    Anchorman: The Legend Continues

    Yeah, Ferrel is an honest hack. He hasn't sunk to Sandler levels. And hell, to be honest, I can see how the male 16-20 demographic would find Ferrel fucking hilarious. SNL Ferrel had like 4 or 5 jokes, and they were all pretty fucking funny. Post Old-School Ferrel has like one. I still...

    Vikings

    She would still brand your ass with a red hot sword and then stab you in the neck with a meathook. All I want out of this show is a lost vikings reference. Just one, and it could be completely meta. That would be ok.

    History must be preserved

    I think you always noticed it. That's just one of those things you see and then pretend you didn't see. What they call that, a processed memory or something.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I never minded the walled off pve content in daoc. It made each realm different. It made them FEEL different. It attracted a slightly different type of player. And in a RvRvR pvp game that's an important thing to do. With shared content you get more of a Zek than a Dred. It's a different...

    EQ Never

    I found the exact opposite to be true. I've played rift and daoc and what-the-fuck-ever. The guys that you'd bullshit about old EQ/UO with (the ones who actually knew what you were talking about, and knew how to respond to the jokes) you could rely on. Except sometimes in the middle of a...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    When you get right down to it, all legit money is backed by the promise of goods and the threat of violence. Cybermoney is only halfway there. The entire thing just seems like a terrible idea unless it's backed by some authority with access to guns. And the guys with that kind of authority...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Depends on what you mean by data, I guess. Sensory processing and integration is no small shit and the vast majority of our brains are devoted to that task. Confucian scholars could recite volumes of verse exactly. But they studied for years to do it, and I mean what do you use that...

    The Legend of Conan-2014 Arnold Returns!

    That's how both of them end. "But that... is another story." It's epic conan. If they put Arnold in a Conan movie, that's what they have to do. They have to have him playing old King Conan and make the new movies about Son of Conan. There are stories where Conan actually did have a son...

    JJ Abrams to direct new Star Wars movie

    I wouldn't call the Star Trek movie great. But it wasn't terrible either. It was better than some of the TNG movies they shat out. A reboot movie like that is going to hit the limit of "how good can this possibly be? It's a rehash" very quickly. And that Star Trek movie hit that limit...
