So your wife has the brains AND the looks in the relationship and is willing to deal with you jeopardizing her life with shady deals in parking lots? She's a keeper. (lol, seriously though, good looking family, I'm glad you guys came through okay. At this point, if the car isn't falling apart...

Last study I saw showed airbags only reduce mortality 16%in head on collisions(The reduction was smaller in any other, head on collisions make up 2% of all collisions, btw) if a seat belt is worn (And this is from an overall mortality if around 4%, and the chance of a car accident is...

That estimation was for the airbag. He doesn'tneedto put that money into it. Go read his posts again before you comment on my comment. As for the new car, you can get a new Ford, without any kind of discount, for 17.5k around me. He gets an employee discount, and a rebate on a NEW car, and he...

Wait, your father worked for Ford, and you qualified for their employee discount, and you still laid out 10 grand on craigslist? Seriously man,what the fuck. At the start I thought this was all pretty dumb but it was essentially typical sheltered computer nerd actually meets up with assholes in...

Thanks for the heads up guys, was going to buy it so I could review it on junkies...glad I waited though. I suppose like most Total War games it will be good in about 2 months or so.

Season 2 isn't the best, but it's a really good season. It shows not only how the upper echelons of criminals never get caught, but also how the economy is the biggest indicator of whether people turn to crime. Watching dock workers who could once support an entire family, slowly erode until...

She doesn't work there anymore, but yeah....I'm not sure if that last quote is actually hers, or something just attributed to her in the rage she caused. But if it is, wow...Old white men fantasy like Martin is bad, they won't be ripping that off. They are going for a story we can all relate to...

TBBT pretty much derives all of it's laughs from stereotypical gender reversal. Think of the guys in the show as women, and the women as men, and you'll see how shallow the jokes are. It's essentially a way to laugh at stereotypical female qualities in TV shows (Women are smarter, neater, more...

Yeah, originally Walt just used Jesse for his "smurfs" to get pseudoephedrine. He didn't use any formula from Jesse, he just needed his resources to get the precursors. And Walt's first batch of Psuedo Meth produced the largest crystals Jesse had ever seen (Jesse said he was an artist and what...

This. BoE/BoP have had such a massive influence on the genre that it's pretty unreal. The implications of it have reached far beyond, I think, what most people expect. Personally, I'd like to see a strong mix of contested and uncontested content. The carrot for the contested stuff can simply...

It's too bad that after Korea they always leave an alternate behind.....Can't fake them out with procedure anymore. Edit: Heh, did Merlin start the whole, we should save lives thing? Man, that ship sailed with Somalia. We will never send anyone anywhere without being able to sell the power...

I think it's really good, obviously, especially as they move toward the ensemble more and less about Ray. I actually think the other characters are more interesting than him, and they get a good deal more play in the later episodes.

It might be based off of the "Numbers" bankers of Harlem during this period. They had a lot of interactions with the Genovese family and Luciano specifically in order to get out from under the thumb of Gangster Dutch Shultz. Bumpy was the one, I believe, that had the most direct interaction and...

Hank with that wig on looks like an out of shape Triple H.

Well, they had a major overhaul a couple months before shipping and I don't think they really thought about all the implications. Like originally, every stat was balanced to be as useful to every class as their primary stat. This effectively made stats indistinct, and bland-butit also made them...

You mean like when Tony Soprano, the head of the NJ mafia, went out and made a deal with those cubans in Florida? Sopranos was guilty of breaking story rationality for use of the main character in scenes dozens of times. The first scene even if Tony breaking someone's knees in public view (A mob...

It sounds like an accounting issue. From what I understand, they most likely have fees based around views--licensing, profit agreements (Actors) and other things. They probably have a host of agreements/estimates in place around this cost, so the overall cost is not the issue. The problem is...

Yeah, he's essentially saying what a lot of us said in the internet/google thread...That the current control over TV is artificial, and only maintained via profit for a few companies. That control is hurting TV right now, a lot, because it's purely artificial in nature--it's the last vestiges of...

Can explain it as a plot to take Gus down after the falling out, because Hank didn't start investigating Gus until after the hit. I mean, it fits together really well. Hank destroys the competition locally. He goes down south, and all the DEA there are killed to make way for Gustavo's war...

1.) M41A Pulse Rifle (Aliens) 2.) Lightsaber 3.) Proton Pack (Ghost Busters) 4.) Phaser 5.) Crissaegrim Castlevania (Just weapons right? Not weapon platforms...so like no Mechs and shit. Because if we can include mechs or space fighters, my list changes.)

He thought your comma highlight (As someone pointed out earlier) was pointing out the the preceding phrase (50 cal air defense), not the subsequent one. So back to the original point. Stealth Drones.

Bro, do you even stealth drone?

Yeah, that's fair, I too, think the tiered wash out of core stats is pretty boring. It works, but it's boring. Mostly though, if I could communicate something with Blizzard, it would be the fact that items without those primary stats aren't just "not as good", they are "not good at all". You...

A commenter with the third most popular comment sums it up pretty well. People hate Skylar because the first 3 seasons to passive aggression to absurd levels. She achieves her strength through subversion fueled by outright humiliation, but ultimately is able to do nothing with it because she...

Yeah, I agree. While I think Booze and Amad bring up valid points about how Blizzard constricted themselves due to the RMAH--I don't think the RMAH was the primary reason the game was flawed. Rather, I think the RMAH really amplified those flaws and forced Blizzard to make dumb decisions that...

If you can't get friends to go with you, tell her to meet in a public place. Is there a mall, or something with security around where she is? Just...don't go alone to her territory, don't be dumb.

The immunity system was annoying--but that whole vein of differentiation was not, in my opinion. The problem is extremes. Even right now, some mobs play differently. They should emphasize that. Instead of making mobs flat out immune, instead make them interact uniquely with certain things (More...

Oh man, couple hundred pp would let me buy some pants if you can spare it (Not to mention spells) lol. Let me know if you can part with a little bit of it in game, name is Solovey.

I know it's been posted, but I was re-watching this scene. Man, Cranston changing his voice on demand like that when he says "tread lightly" is perfect. I almost wonder if they used some audio effects to make it sound more sinister. I mean, I know Cranston is capable of swapping to the...

That was my bad. Looking back at the original post, I kind of assumed a starting premise based on the fact that they are bumping the level cap, and then further assumed a wipe would come with every expansion. But I never implicitly stated my premise was to handle the problem of gear sucking...

How so? I'm discussing the simulation of demand without the need for obsolescence or generational demand. This DOES occur in the real economy. But isn't represented in games. I'm discussing ways to simulate that type of demand in games by increasing the depth and breadth of character, skill and...

Highly differentiated mob types that interact differently with various builds, slowing some builds greatly, while speeding others. Highly differentiated builds that augment how a player moves through the world, and reacts to not just mobs but certain physical limitations in the world. Traps that...

Everything breaks down, but a lot of markets are notdrivensolely by the need to replace obsolete or non-useful materials. Which is the point of the post. Durable goods markets are highly profitable because of their generational component (Which you agree with) and which MMO's already have (Which...

A game that requires items to leave the economy has underlying issues that need to be addressed. Real economies work with durable goods, goods that don't leave the market (At least, not with in a generational time frame). Some of this demand is generational in nature (+gooder or literally...

Anyone notice the legendary items are "account bound"? Is that their solution to the bad economic/farming decisions in the game? Just make it account bound, and then make it rain items with "smart loot"? Ugh, no thanks. Account bound shit is the worst part of the new breed of MMO/Online games...

Yes, both of those. Combined with the fact that your opinion is wrong.

Sure, the "gun fighter" is almost always there (And even modern day Westerns, like Justified, use the Eastwood "man with no name" outline). Bullock or Bohanan fit it but the main difference between these two types of westerns (My opinion) just the emphasis on his story, as opposed to an emphasis...

Sad part is, that glimer of the promise the show found in it's final season? It really could have been "The next, next generation". It was poised to be that good. I think people just wanted to see the early federation, how hard was that to deliver? The Romulan war that gets talked about in the...
