No Radio and no creative lounge make Ginsberg go something something... He has always been a bit odd but those things and the constant humming from that giant paperweight have pushed him over the edge. I do wonder what the point of it is though story wise; in earlier seasons he was presented as...

Internet activity is monitored, our phone calls are recorded as a mater of routine, our children are being issued school ID's with RFID chips and now they want to track our vehicle's movements and have us pay for the privilege of doing so. This isn't merely about taxes it's about power and...

My favorite one so far is the Afghan Money Pit, Season 2 Episode 1. One hundred billion dollars down the tube in aid for one of the most corrupt countries in the world and more funding on the same level is on its way all so that our government can temporarily stave off a collapse over there and...

Saying integrity may have been an error as the details change the tone of the story but you are overreacting a wee bit. The story in broad terms is the same (Boat, Man, Good, Evil, God, Salvation, Beasts) just filled up with details (which the original lacked as it's very short) however...

You sound like anyone else who goes into a film expecting a certain experience based upon what you have already been exposed to and thus have a preference for and leave disappointed, I've been there myself. I was bothered by the same things that you were at first but I was able to let that go...

In their hierarchy (as has been established throughout the run of series) an employee does not call a partner into their office and then proceed to tell them what to do, as she well knows, and in doing so she set a roadblock in the way of her project. As for Don being on the shit list... well...

You would have treated someone who was your mentor, was there for you with inspiration and advice after you gave up your first born, who got you your break in the industry and who is still technically your boss like she did? I hope not because that is pretty cold and foolish. In a perfect...

I think that this is part of the point; it shows that this office isn't run by decent human beings, they don't care about Don on a personal level and never had despite whatever he has done for them. It's all about the bottom line and what this or that person can do to benefit the partners and...

Yes so he could die in battle as a warrior and go to Valhalla presumably, that or she is bored of him. Had she and Ragnar really wanted him to live I could think of better ways than to leave him alone and in bed after recently rebreaking his leg.

This affirmed my wish that Horrick had died in the first battle of the season along with that Jarl. It's watchable and still fun to an extent but I do hope that they ditch the predictable and rather unimaginative village intrigue and focus more on raids and battles next season, battles that...

It would have been more dicey, especially if I was running drone defense instead of cloak but bombs do hurt Zoltan shields so I probably would have been fine long enough to break it and attack the weapons rooms. That said I did have maxed out engines/shield and the bosses burst laser/phase 3...

Clicked back... thank you for logging in! Here's your duplicate post! Whoops.

Just got my first advanced hard victory and it was quite an experience. I used the Mantis C and after a score of starter to sector 8 failures I finally managed to get a sector 1-2 that didn't have super med/clonebay, missile, burst ships right off the bat... you'd be surprised how often that...

blah never mind

I guess that there's nothing more important going on somewhere in the world to investigate and talk about. It's always he said this or she said that, or my opinion is, or that body language implies... our media is nothing more than a glorified tabloid racket these days. Anyway those two...

As per IMDB: Lindelof is a writer and producer, known for Lost (2004), Prometheus (2012) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)... It's seldom that a single sentence contained all that I needed to know.

I gave my impressions in the AoW3 thread, check out the most recent page of that thread if you are interested in a rundown of its issues. Basically its a case of wait till the expansion/DLC and see if they can flesh it out enough by then to make it worth playing more than once or twice.

I really liked Endless Space at first but it suffered from most of the same flaws of other 4x games like unbalanced heroes, token complexity, lackluster combat and incredibly samey gameplay. As far as "divergent" content usually goes the first hour or two are mostly great until you figure out...

If you feel invested in any of WoT's characters then you may want to read it properly, if you just want closure then read the summary. I kept reading on past a certain point mainly because I really enjoyed Jordan's Matt but sadly Sanderson wasn't able to duplicate the magic of that particular...

This season... ugh. That is all.

It's 10 years too late. At this point I'd rather see a Farscape movie that takes place in its universe but with a new cast of characters despite whatever juvenile crush I had on Claudia Black. But of course they have to market it at core fans because who else would even know the slightest...

This was an enjoyable film and had it not had a guy named Noah or a large wooden ship it would have easily fit in as one of the better post apocalyptic / sci fi films of recent years. Ray Winstone made a good villain, Crowe was decent and the golem / angels were great additions and made fairly...

Okay

She gabbed about it to Ziggy in episode 7. There are some possible nods the past two episodes that have me inclined to believe that Floki is playing a part for Ragnar; that scene at the party in Ragnar's hall where he is observing everyone through a screen as Ziggy talks to Floki's woman and...

Yeah that is handy and it's pretty funny that the type B has no external doors whatsoever... but with a 4 rock starting crew who needs them. You were right about the Stealth C Kaid it looks pretty painful, I really wish that at least one drone heavy ship would start with the recovery arm, it...

Haha I will look forward to it. Just had an interesting Lanius B run; 2 flak, swarm missile, chain ion and 3 zoltan for power. Pretty much ravaged the entire game with Lanius boarding party until last node before final sector when the enemy jumped away in the nick of time stealing my Lanius...

If you enjoy it keep plugging away, half the fun for me was going after unlocks and playing the different load outs. I'm half way through the type C's... stealth B run is going to be a pain in the butt.

I have mixed feeling about hacking drones, they are useful but I loathe the fact that you can't retarget them. I lost to the phase one boss using the Zoltan B because it hacked my weapon system after I hacked its cloak despite my defense drone... I had no teleport so I had no way to disable its...

After TWD, The Killing and canceling Rubicon just when it was starting to get a bit interesting I was losing faith in AMC and now Turn comes along and gets me all optimistic again. The first two episodes were quite enjoyable and I like the time period and material, hopefully the rest of the...

I guess the shocking twist is that the preview from the last episode didn't actually spoil anything after all. I'm glad that the Borg storyline is finally over and am look forward to Horrik's resolution as well... it's a pity that the both of them didn't just die in the opening battle of the...

Well this released today and from what I have seen of it nothing much has changed from my previous look; random mob spawns and quests like find the spell, slay the undead, kill the dragons still dominate the early game... in the exact same order... every time. Call me crazy but I don't find the...

I was convinced this was a parody lol, props to Nintendo for making something so zany.

Wait till the first expansion or major DLC comes out, as it stands AOW3 is much like CIV5 at release; the potential for a good game exists but for now it is a flawed mess that focused more on making every race blandly equivalent to one another rather than fun. The first few hours are great...

Final 2 cents: I find that I enjoy the early game quite a bit as that is when tactics matter most, it is also fun to go item hunting in the "dungeons"... I really wish they were crawls with final bosses instead of just a room with the exact same mobs per difficulty level each time. Still it is...

Yeah the village strongman politics, which amounts to nothing much more than thoughtful stares then sudden violence is a lot less entertaining than the actual raiding. It would have been more interesting if Ragnar had actually decided to be true to his word to begin with (the pact) then we...

I did run into one city that had 4 trebuchets and a bunch of mages behind a stone wall that could have complicated things if my mage hero hadn't had Chaos Rift... it's pretty much GG once that thing is cast if your opponent can't dispel it. Funny thing was the AI cast it on me first but I had...

I really wish that they had preserved the chance to miss outright from the previous games... dealing with walled enemy cities is a joke when you can just mass fire on the 1 or 2 ranged units the AI seems to keep in there, once that dies everything else just pops out. It used to be that...

I really wish that they had devoted an episode to Lagertha in her new land, she has supposedly been there now for 5+ years and yet we know nothing about how that community views her or indeed anything about anyone there besides her husband. How did she organize a war band without her lords...

Recall Syiro Forel the First Sword of Braavos, Aryas fencing master, the playwright might be his brother the First Quill. George still has to confirm whether that cunning bugger escaped or not from Kings Landing; no death can be accepted in this story without a body... aside from Cat sadly.

That and it was implied that she would ditch the persona after her performance that night which means she was probably just there to learn a bit of mummery. I do wish that the chapter had dealt more with her mentors and their society instead of a highly unlikely chance encounter (though we...
