    Well, now what?

    What we really need is better tools to create MMO's and cheaper hardware to run them. That's the next revolution in MMO design. It won't be some new way to make a game, it will be lowering the cost and difficulty of making them overall. Once that happens, and the investment horizon shrinks...

    Well, now what?

    Here is a little tip--people who read statistics have to interpret them. And there are entire industries which have been formed off interpreting the same statistics in different ways. Heck, do you know in polling many times the answer given isn't trusted? Yep, even a DIRECT answer to a question...

    Well, now what?

    Right after an expansion? Wow, surprised! The fact is that all of WoW's design choices since TBC haven't really had a huge impact on sub losses. Harder/Easier is pretty superficial in the grand scheme of things. I'd day fast content generation has a far, far bigger impact than difficulty (within...

    Breaking Bad

    I love the Jesse character, but how lovable he is really depends where you are in the show. Right now, he's the character with, by far, the most redeemable qualities. But midway through Season 4, when he was getting played like a bitch to betray Walt, I really was hoping he would die. It was...

    Gun control

    I believe IRB was caught up in the great James banning for like a day or two. As was Ary and a few others I believe. Rav reversed it when it was reported James had gone crazy.

    Gun control

    Harvard medical school disagrees with you about video games. There have been no links between violent video games and increased violence. In fact, as this type of media has grown, there has been a correlative (Again, not scientific) drop in violence. So, even speaking from a bullshit...

    As for not killing Carrie, that could be as simple as he is fucked in the head and has feelings for her. They do a pretty good job of showing he's not a +/- character, which I think is a strength of the show. It's not difficult to imagine someone playing both sides of the game, eventually...

    Domestic Violence/Violent Neighbor, what to do?

    As others have said, keep calling the police. This shit only gets worse and if you have kids around, or other people do, it will be traumatic for them when it hit's it's tipping point. My friend lived in an Apt with this going on next door, and while I was there one day (High School) this lady...

    Homeland

    Pretty much as expected. Nazir died to throw them off their guard and allow for a bigger attack, that Brody needed to be given access to in order to make work. I guess they left it open as to whether Brody was in on it, but from what we can tell, either Brody was in on it or the mole, which...

    Have you cheated?

    See, I don't think this is cheating though. Cheating involves breaking the rules--IE the rules of a monogamous relationship. If you both decide to change the rules of your relationship, then no one has cheated, right? It's like adding the 2 point conversion to the NFL. It's not cheating if the...

    The Hobbit

    And for a long time, until he started really revising the book--that's actually all it was. It wasn't until he had the first draft done of the Hobbit and went back and decided to rewrite a bunch of things because he loved the world so much (And then write everything else) that he changed it from...

    Epic Movie Moments

    I can't find a video of it now. But one of my favorite all time scenes was where Michael Corleone is standing in front of the hospital in the Godfather. After the scene is done, you see Enzo's hand shaking because they just faced down a hit squad, but Michael's hand was perfectly still as he...

    Murders and Shootings

    Again, people have been walking into schools and shooting people since the 40's (Before then, but lets just say the 40's.) The difference is that these people tended to kill 1 or 2 people before killing themselves. The difference in the power of the weapons doesn't explain the lower body count...

    This is not even comprehensible. Just babies, and he went after the youngest specifically. I don't really want to weigh in on the politics. Mass shootings in France, Germany, Norway...It just happens. No one can see the demons someone is carrying around in their head. The only comment I would...

    Have you cheated?

    I'd say that's more of an open relationship? I actually know someone who is married and set up like that. They seem to be very happy, and they are honest with each other, so I wouldn't say it's cheating. A core tenant of cheating, in my opinion, is tricking or deceiving your spouse/partner.

    Prank phone call ends in tragedy

    The media is completely railroading these DJ's for a good story. Their making it seem like they verbally cooked the nurse alive and made her kill herself--their playing off the whole bullying craze. But that call was completely and utterly tame. I guess the exchange nurse got some flak from the...

    Conspiracy theory / economy question

    Breaking Bad

    It gets, much, much, much better. It's a very slow burn, like Boardwalk. Some shows tend to have strong, then weak--this one just gets progressively better. In fact, I'd say every season blows the one before it away.

    Psy sang about killing americans before Oppa Gangnam Style.

    The post was about how silly it was to compare it to a momentary outburst. Not the legitimacy of the outrage. At no point did I even comment on his reasoning for being angered, anywhere. I agree he has the right to free speech but again, this was about the comparison. There is a world of...

    Psy sang about killing americans before Oppa Gangnam Style.

    Wait, so you've danced in front of your mother in law and said you wanted to kill her and her whole family, slowly and painfully? I mean, sometimes, sure we flub and hope someone will drop dead. But I can't remember the last time I've ranted for not only the person, but the entire family...

    Dana is pretty terrible. She completely flips her position on a whim when it suits the drama in the show. "Mike, you need to leave so my dad has a place...." 3 months later "Dad, Mike was a better father!" Ugh. I know they are trying to explain her angst with the idiotic hit and run storyline...

    Yeah, I thought this at first..but it doesn't make sense with the character. Nazir has always been brutal, even towards his most trusted followers. It doesn't make sense that he would just let Brody go do his own thing if he did his job well. But then again, with how poorly they've been writing...

    I was about ready to turn it off if Nazir would have gotten away. It's just really sloppy writing. I've never been military, or police, but even I know that a squad like that wouldn't split up and that guy sure as fuck wouldn't have cleared an unknown area without any back up. It was just such a...
