    Mad Men

    I think it's only been a few months, actually. In episode 2; Freddy said it's been 2 months and that was just past Christmas. They passed Valentines day in 3; but didn't pass some big events in the 69. I don't think it's been more than 4-6 months. Which is why this feels off to me (If I'm right...

    Mad Men

    I don't fully agree with narcissist, but agree with the sentiment in terms of power (Groveling). Don doesn't care about money, Don cares about power. The first 20 years of his life were completely powerless; and as he said in the first season "maybe I'm just not as comfortable being powerless as...

    Mad Men

    This is why I really didn't get it; Don had a huge amount of power. They had to pay him JUST so he wouldn't compete with them. They know a big portion of their "loyal" clients would jump ship to go where Don was working. He didn't even use that though to get some wiggle room in his new contract...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I honestly don't get the anger about spoilers from the show vs book; I mean, no matter what the book is going to be interesting just for the inner thoughts. And "big events", for me, are much more exciting on screen, in my opinion (I like books for information, but nothing beats a live action...

    Mad Men

    The only reason I disagree is because Joan's climb wasn't a byproduct of Don leaving; it was a byproduct of Pete going to California and not bitching about her handling Avon. The only one who has directly gained ground due to Don's absence, really, is the Dweeb--which is why I thought it was...

    Mad Men

    Don made the correct call with Jaguar; it's absolutely unfathomable to me how she is still angry about it. The car was a dog, the account was a dog and not only did Don fix the mess he made, by landing an even bigger account to replace it but he was also the only one who acted like a decent...

    Wow, that whole subreddit is a gold mind of idiocy on all sides. That place is fucking amazing.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    There is some really powerful correlative evidence linking the two. In regional locations which tracked PPM of lead in the atmosphere, even in different locations it came out to have a correlative effect with crime rates..As far as I know the regional studies were published (But I've only read...

    Mad Men

    I'm glad Roger shoved it in their faces; he said what I said last week--Don will eat that company alive if they let him go. Also, it's amazing watching the pettiness and hypocrisy--and it's annoying that it looks like Don won't let them crash and burn with it all because of his own self doubt...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I doubt Jon is going to meet them as well. I think what's going to happen is Cold Hands is going to kill the mutineers and save them; and Jon will show up after they are gone and use the victory as a spring board for leadership in the show.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I don't have the technical know how to tell if the guy is correct; or not, and I'm dubious on trusting anyone who has not been published and has made some serious errors in the past. However, he does reference an amazing set of Ted Talks in there based on "quantized" space time. Essentially...

    Mad Men

    It's funny, the wife and I are rewatching Season 1; and we just saw the episode "Shoot"; which pretty much has Roger trying to convince Don not to go with McCann Erikson by explaining why bigger companies suck. And pretty much all of Rogers reasoning are present in the office now (Unable to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    hah; the fucking Houng continues to have the best lines. "Are you going to fucking do all seven?"...."How many Stark heads have to be cut off for you to realize it". These first three episodes have been amazingly strong; I think, overall, superior to any of the other seasons first few...

    So what you're saying is God was the Dark Matter of his time. (Edit: Hopefully this isn't required, but please don't take this post as serious anyone.)

    Vikings

    She talks to the Rollo's woman, The same one who is fucking Horic; and Ragnar has watched them talking, so I think Floki knows there is a line between his woman and Horic, and he'd need that gossip to make Horic comfortable (In fact, I'm better Ragnar is the one who pushed Rollo's woman into...

    Breaking Bad

    No; he never said this exactly. However, there was a conversation between him and Gratchen where they both recalled events very differently. She said "we were on vacation with my parents at the shore house and then you left without a word, you abandoned me". Which made Walt blow up. There were...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    If I was an investor with "play" money (IE money I don't really care getting a return on; but rather I'd like to spend it on a passion project). Hearing that someone made 160k in private, small pool donations--and hearing they raised a potential 400k, would interest me. The moment I saw said...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I can't believe the web site brings in 8k a month; but even if it's far less, it's amazing that it's being transferred into a personal account. So this company was never incorporated, or made into a limited liability, or anything? How is it not obvious that this is a scam at this point? The...

    Mad Men

    Well, Megan is living in the same valley where Manson committed his first murder, I believe. But I doubt they'd go that route--I think, as others have said, she's just going to become disillusioned--like Heylel said; it's the death knell of the 60's and from there the country kind of spins out...

    Ahh, thank you. Yes, I will alter Tom to Ben. Honestly, I see (somewhat) what the guy is saying. I actually told Brad at the KS launch, when he was waiting for interviews, a standard PR guy is not really great for KS--typical product PR uses very different forms of media compared to indi...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Guy states he spent 5-6 hours a day answering calls, emails and posting on various social media sites--doing all the stuff a social media manager does (References how Brad had his number about a dozen times). However, after he put in all this work, the state of the game thread blew up and...

    Is there something about 760's that make them better at SLI? I'm not really super up to speed on cards..heh, I mainly rely on GPUboss to compare them. It seems like the 760 is only about20-25% or so better than the 660. But it's 30% (70$) more expensive per card. Is it worth it with SLI? I...

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    I liked Civ 5 as well; but I agree, the AI felt out of whack. I think it was less about "dumbing" down, and more about the fact that because of 1UPT; the old way of increasing difficulty (Production advantages) had hardly no impact late game, because the AI couldn't make stacks of doom. Having...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion is 75% off on Steam if anyone doesn't have it, 39.99 normally. Pretty good game on it's own, but if you're a Star Trek nerd like me, there is a great mod for it that turns it into successor to theStar Trek ArmadaSeries. (Mod is really well done.) (Also...

    Justified (Season 5 - Jan 7th)

    I agree, last third was good. First half was pretty weak though. The problem with the crows as the antagonist is that they didn't even really need Rayland or Boyd to bring them down; the guys were such massive fuck ups they were constantly self destructing. What made Mags great was that despite...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It is epic, I'm going to hate it when they split up. Watching Arya smile when The Hound said "fuck the king" and she realized he was getting ready to kill them all was pretty awesome.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There was no mention of it, directly. But his open marriage, and hints about his wild sexual nature were spoken about (I think, been a while since I read through)--so I assume he just fucks anything that walks on two legs. (The Dornish in the books are like a mix of Greek/Italian/Spanish, so...

    This shit always rustles my jimmies. So many fucking great dogs get put down for no other reason than they don't have a home and the states resources are slim. And money is spent on shit like this? There shouldn't be a debate. I feel bad if the dog was abused; but if we don't care enough about...

    How I Met Your Mother

    Comments on that article are great. So glad I never watched this. It should have been called" how I settled for your mother so I could have the kids I wanted and then went back to the real love of my life once she died" So the whole "mother" was really just a red herring, hahaha...
