    Mad Men

    I took it as: "We are done but I won't carry the shame of having a divorce, go live in your apartment." time will tell.

    EQ - The Sleeper

    Before trying to start on this server I'd like to know if they are actually enforcing the 2 box maximum rule or if people are being allowed to run as many as they wish. Do boats work? Also whats the time table (if any) on artifact items like BFG, Beads and other toys? Thanks!

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I kind of feel like playing EQ again also... have they finally gotten around to putting Iksar planar in? Or itemizing Chardok?

    EQ - The Sleeper

    The main problem I see with this is people box camping item camps and not allowing anyone else to join them. Anyway whats the deal with manastones etc? Will they drop forever or is there a time limit?

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    I concede defeat to selective thread skimming.

    Vikings

    The complaining/mocking had more to do with the fact that there were clearly mostly pythons and other harmless snakes in those shots doing the "killing". It was funny and a bit bewildering. Anyway I'm looking forward to next episode and yes the intro sequence is great.

    Oblivion - Tom Cruise goes WALL-E

    My rather negative review: Joseph Kosinski must worship M. Night Shyamalan as this movie is just a series of easily (more or less) callable "twists" chained together one after another. There are plenty of other small to large things to complain about as well but mainly this just wasn't a...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    You could write any summary that way but the point I was trying to make was that in this case nearly each of those chapters was a repeat of the one that came before it (useless bloat). They dealt with the same concerns more or less and consisted of little more than artificially prolonged...

    Critically acclaimed shows of the last 20 years that you haven't watched

    I finally thought of something that hasn't been mentioned but was truly excellent and ranks up there with any of the best of all time but not of the last 20 years; I think everything that meets that criteria has already been mentioned anyway. The 1976 BBC adaptation of I, Claudius. It is a...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Tom Bombadil was a remarkably magical little man who lived near to the shire with a wondrous and beautiful lady who helped our erstwhile hobbits on the first leg of their epic adventure. The removal of him and the barrow wights from the first movie was a real let down. Comparing things like...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    You are right, I did forget about the arena chapter and that was quite good. But really, everything else of any import can be easily summed up in a few sentences without reading through the excessively repetitive dithering/arguments at Mereen/Wall. But really do as you like, I don't know...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    My advice on Dance: Read a summary of Jon and Danny's chapters except for their final POVs. It was such a huge letdown getting over halfway through the book and realizing that nope... nothing is really going to happen after all (and over half the book is devoted to it). Everything else is more...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    That's a shame, it's much more fun when everyone gets to go through the various expansions together.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Are they releasing the trilogy all at once or are they delaying the expansions a bit? Some things will be a bit pointless if they don't.

    Vikings

    Point me to the source material if you would be so kind but it still makes no sense. I agree about the one dimensional villains, the only slight curve ball is the brother. We all know something is going to happen they are just making him bide his time despite the few opportunities that have...

    Vikings

    Well, this week is the first episode that I did not like at all and that preview for next... lord... why bother to film the thing if they are going to spoil it completely in a minutes time. I did not like or "get" what they did with the Jarl; what was the point of having a decent actor in the...

    Jurassic Park 3D

    /mourn animatronics Using physical constructs and then enhancing them with CGI should be the standard, it is why things like Titanic and Jurassic Park hold up so well whereas many of the effects in new films look completely artificial and terrible. I was lucky enough to see Jurassic Park...

    Hannibal

    His lines came out like half whispered mumbles a few times and it was annoying but other than that this was a good first episode. I do wish they would do away with Will's cyborg scanner moments before going all time cop on us though.

    Iain M Banks has cancer and less than a year to live

    Vikings

    Well the Jarl does play only a supporting role at this point; hes the foil that Ragnar plays off of to be heroic and entertaining. He lacks depth as he is just the bad guy doing stuff to the hero in a typically villainous manner, there isn't much to work with. His boys were horribly murdered...

    Vikings

    Gannicus is the man. Anyway on to topic: That shield wall scene on the beach was probably the most memorable moment of the series thus far for me. It felt very authentic and it was funny how the confidence of their opponents leaders slowly melted away while they sat their horses completely...

    Vikings

    Since this is directed at me I suppose; Crixusand his wench, Crixus and Spartacus "breaking up" and getting back together several times in predictable fashion. The gratuitous sex scenes that are more boring than anything else, If I wanted porn I could find better elsewhere (though I will admit...

    Vikings

    True enough I suppose. For me it's just a case of being so familiar with a story that any TV/film counterpart to that story comes off somewhat dull and inadequate due to the cuts, changes and actors that are required to create that visual representation. I've actually fallen asleep a few times...

    Vikings

    Mad Men hasn't started yet, Spartacus frequently strays into eye roll territory (half the cast is also unbearable) but can be fun at times, Archer is great sometimes but isn't a dramatic series. It all comes down to personal preference though, of course. Thanks for recommending Arrow at any...

    Vikings

    If you have a recommendation on something that's currently airing then hook me up Lenas but don't say Game of Thrones (after reading the series a few times the show is a bit meh for me) or anything on the first page of TV House for that matter.

    Vikings

    Its the best show on TV at the moment, the story is simple yet well done and very entertaining. The lead character is also somewhat engaging and believable which is a rarity more often than not.

    Path of Exile

    It mainly comes into play at really high levels, if you are playing hardcore you will probably get bored of the game before you face the issue unless you are really well adjusted to repetition and grinding in these sort of games. I'd say give it a try and see what you think for yourself, it is...

    Path of Exile

    If you play in groups of 3+ you get an increased item quantity mod per additional player. This is a big deal because you cannot even approach the same rates on your own unless you equip every plus item rarity & quantity item and gem you can get your hands on but to do so leaves you compromised...

    Webcomics thread

    I've followedhttp://www.goblinscomic.com/for years now and it is wonderful. The artist has been releasing two comics a week for a long time now and there is enough material in the archive to keep you reading from the beginning for a few hours. He writes a good tale and his art has improved...

    The really dumb thing was that Inevera's backstory covered events that we have already been over at length in the other books. It added nothing and honestly who cares about her past, big deal if shes a bit mysterious, that said her portions were less irritating than anything concerning Arlen...

    The Walking Dead

    I'd prefer it if they just wiped the slate totally clean but that would be nearly impossible at this point considering how pathetic the zombies are as a threat, what with their jello like skulls and baby like gaits. Maybe the Gov could have his scientist minion cook up a batch of poison gas and...

    Deadwood

    I remember how disappointed I was when I got to the end and found out that that was it... I also remember the excitement and false hope when HBO started rumoring about a Deadwood film to wrap the series up a few years ago... cocksuckers.

    Deadwood

    Not all of the main actors are up to par with Al's quality and range, it hurts the show sometimes. Apart from that HBO shot themselves in the foot when they seemingly let the writers have a contest to see how many expletives they could cram into each episode in the shows run. I am sure that a...

    E-reader or tablet

    I got tired of hauling 4 heavy boxes full of books every time that I moved. I've been using a Sony PRS 300 for a few years now, I bought it near new from some guy who didn't read very much and love it.

    It does not get any better Vvoid, finish it for the sake of it if you want but nothing interesting happens and none of its problems improve. Some large scale action starts to happen but none of it is really satisfying. I feel the same as you by the way; I thoroughly enjoyed the first, the...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    He does it to make opponents drop their guard so that he can take advantage of rash behavior and then lash them to various things. He still ends up using it for every truly challenging fight though along with the lashings.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    The only time he does not use his shardblade is when he wants to be incognito. Otherwise hes running around cutting holes in solid granite and flinging the peices and other object around for laughs.

    Path of Exile

    If you get quickly tired of endless grinding in the same places killing the same mobs over and over then yes avoid. This game type is not everyone's cup of tea but if you like that sort of thing then it is one of the better options available for the game type and its also free.
