    Mad Men

    Yeah, Pete's family is super fucked up. Also, the thing with Pete that really makes him insufferable for most in the office is that he isalmostalways right (In the office, not his personal life). He's always two steps ahead of everyone else, and always reading people much better than anyone...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Yeah, but this overall direction of attempting to control the market, rather than collecting fees for bringing people together, isn't just part of Xbone--Xbone is just the clearest, current incarnation of it. Gabe from Valve said it best last year... "If people look at what they can...

    He was in Paris for school and I believe he flunked out because he was getting too much pussy. A-1 means you're fit for military service and have no extenuating circumstances to prevent them from calling you up for it.

    Just watched the MS presentation. Wow, was that a huge fucking bomb. It's like they don't even know what will offend people anymore, seriously, it's like they have a form of corporate aspergers. The best part though was "We want everything to be easy and open, so we're going to let anyone in...

    The Venture Bros.

    This is what I really like about the show. My wife watched one of the later Episodes where Monarch attacks Jonas, and she thought it was funny, but she had no idea why I found it hilarious. You don't realize how much all the material and inside jokes/themes play into episode, it's great (Like...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Didn't read this earlier. But yeah, again, everyone has their limits. Do you think someone like Tywin would try to buy Shae's betrayal? I mean, maybe he did...But I think if Tywin told her he was going to pour acid in her pussy if she didn't listen, she'd probably betray Tyrion then. And that's...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Why do you say that? The book usually goes to great lengths to show that even the most virtuous people will change their beliefs or ideals to save someone, or protect themselves. In the book, I always got the impression that Shae's testimony was forced. As in, Tywin probably threatened to skin...

    This is the big thing. The slow death of publishers being the control between capital and studios is giving rise to a lot of smaller studios. If MS is looking to profit from the old model, where publishers bought distribution rights, and controlled the actual product, I think they are going to...

    The difference is steam actually offers monetary compensation for the loss of certain ownership freedoms. And they can do that because Steam's profit comes from being a "marketplace", rather than a "gatekeeper". "Marketplace" publishing is the future, it's a completely different kind of profit...

    "Several gigantic books". Those 2 books, as big as they are, would make 1 season each, because most of it is world building, which takes about 2 panoramic shots in a show to wash away a chapter of writing. Book 1 had the same thing, it was a gigantic book that waseasilycondensed down to one...

    Every product goes through this, well, almost all of them..Books, Movies, TV Shows and durables are all as good as new for normal usage (Note: Not collecting ect--but then neither are games). The fact is the entertainment industry is growing, rapidly. It's rising far faster in terms of market...

    After Earth

    Right after this he casts himself in a part where his writing and ideas bring peace a prosperity to the world. This guy got a huge case of George Lucas--once he got a little success, he stopped taking criticism seriously and his movies suffered. There is an interview with him for Last Airbender...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Meh, the reason I found it believable is because it was always emphasized that men in the Night's Watch were ridiculously superstitious. I mean, with the shit they saw, they always emphasized belief in spirits and what not. To have the crow pop up and scream Jon's name probably would have swayed...

    Mad Men

    I think it's unlikely too, but where it's the second to last season, I feel like he might be looking for something really paradigm shifting for Don. The end of the 60's is really considered the end of America's golden age, and kind of the "death of innocence". The show tends to capture a lot of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, sounds like Italy--Italians around the alps are light skinned, very European looking (When they cast James Caan in Godfather they said they would explain it as him having northern Italian blood). While Italians down south, and Sicily are extremely dark. In fact there is a specific name in...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't see how anyone saw Dorn as black--for me they smacked of Italians. Their resistance to the Targs (Mafia) and their inability to form a strong central government (Post-Roman provinces) seemed like he was drawing on Italy for inspiration for Dorn. Hell even Dornish wine is described as...

    Mad Men

    I agree, I think it's going to be the ideal. They are really dog piling on the "Mother" themes/symbolism, emphasizing how much Don wants that. And if you think to the Season where Don fell for Megan, she seemed like the perfect mother figure. I think this is all going to culminate in him finding...

    Mad Men

    It's just interesting to see people's attitudes and how they adjust just based on the fact that it's Pete and he is a prick. As has been said, this storyline, where one department attempts to take the glory of another (Whether it be Pete snatching up copy, or Don/Lane attempting to do Accounts...

    That is how he wrote the proposed two-hour finale, with the pope dying and no one willing to hear his confession. When they finally find a confessor and the pope starts to repent his sins, the confessor interrupts him, saying, "I'm sorry, it's too late, you're already dead and burning in hell."...

    Revolution

    Yes. From what we've seen they can store power, and then deliver it universally as per the programing/control of whatever is giving them orders. A lot of handwaving, of course, but that seems to be the gist of it--we know there is software that can understand the power needs of all equipment...

    Mad Men

    True, the storyline is not the same--it's better to say the conflict is, that someone from outside accounts feels like just because they've interacted with clients before, that they can do the job of an accounts person. I personally think Joan would do great in accounts BUT I agree with Peggy...

    There was an entire arc in Season 2 with Hilton where Don admitted the accounts process was needed and he apologized for thinking he could do it. Roger's ego essentially stopped the company, and forced Don to apologize. I haven't seen this episode. (I don't mind spoilers)...But essentially it...

    Remember, Rob Split his armies to surprise Jaime's siege at River-Run. He was on the other side of the "green fork" and needed to be behind Jaime's position on the "red fork"--it would have taken 2 months to double back around the Fray's.
