    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You misused Suspension of Disbelief, thinking it means because it's Fantasy there are just going to be things that don't make sense, and generally agree to some pretty dumb shit, but strangely don't post dumb original shit nearly as often, which is a bit of an interesting nuance. Or were you...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Not trying to be too insulting. To do that I just usually call people fucking morons. I'm saying it just seems like you didn't really pay attention or aren't good at following along with this kind of show that has a LOT of shit going on so it's hard to follow. They'll give you a one-two punch...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They give a lot of shits. They just don't think opening their flanks to their mortal, daily enemy, while protecting them and helping them avoid their demise is good Watching of the Night. So, a few who think Snow is doing a shit job and a traitor make a cross saying as much and murder him so...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Are you sure you actually even watched the show? There were several scenes that some would even describe as drawn out where they discussed this. In fact, he very plainly explained exactly who he is and why she should keep him around and in what capacity. Like it was even a little heavy handed...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    So, it doesn't make sense that people wouldn't put aside their petty issues to respond to the undead army that is approaching... but Snow should do exactly that and stay in the north because he allegedly suddenly loves the entire wildling culture because he's fucking one and will be murdered if...

    I feel like people are shitting on it a bit too much because of how great season 1 was, but I don't think anyone but a few anything-popular-is-shit hiptards and feminist cunts were actively waiting for season 2 just so they could shit on it. It's just that season 1, even the first episode...

    And Vaughn's bit about needing artificial means to get his own wife pregnant, and commenting to her how he was half a man or whatever, was all just a smoke screen to keep Farrell from cracking the case!

    True Detective

    Probably why there were so many shots of freeways and why the last scene the three of them looked at each other like they were bitter rivals wanting to race. About jokes. Nobody is asking for a fucking comedy. There's a difference between comedy and a drama that is well rounded by including...

    So, one more would be too many coincidences to be plausible? We should count the current coincidences, though, to find the magic number of coincidences that is still completely plausible.

    I'm not talking about right this second because it's clear they don't have shit. I think you're right and they learned to shut their mouths. Their disconnect started early on, talking about how the classes and lore were fleshed out far more than they actually had been. They seemed to be...

    So, because they stopped making false promises with shit to show for it they're now worthy? I guess I see the logic. They were saying there's a product and work was being done, but had nothing to show for it. Now that they're not saying there is anything being done, it probably means they're...

    In Rift, why didn't you log in, talk to guild mates, start a group for some dungeons or events, find some people from out of the guild if you needed, and chat with guild mates in group chat to include the out of guild people? Was it because you couldn't do that, or just didn't? And why not...

    Honest question: has anyone simply played current games and only grouped? Like Rift, for example, had some really fun dungeons and open-world rifts and shit that one benefited greatly from being in a group. Everyone said oh the game is shit because you can solo to max. But you didn't have...

    Why didn't they just let him be a little funny, in a dark, sarcastic way? Having some outlet for humor, irony, sarcasm, something at all other than straight, flat-line heavy-handed drama is usually what makes drama feel real and complex and interesting. Or, maybe the problem is the things...

    Cmon, be fair. Pantheon will be group focused, but not necessarily groups focused. It'll only take a global population of 6 to deliver that old school experience! This is the most promising the game has ever sounded, really.

    Umm, no content in EQ was by design anything but existing. If you could kill that orc by yourself, go for it. If you couldn't, better get a friend, or group, or raid. And you asked why solo when you can play Skyrim. I answered that, and didn't even call you a fucking moron, which is pretty...

    I think you answered your own question. The original fucking idea was you had players to play with, in a world to share, and if you wanted to team up and tackle harder content you could do that and encounter more types of content than you could alone. The people pretending EQ was forced...

    As far we know, Brad could have had a design doc, pre-alpha build and all the tech worked out and just decided not to show any of it during the KS because he got an amazing private investment deal that will fully back his effort of creating the greatest old-school mmorpg (RPG!!!) evaaaar!

    True Detective

    That's not story. That's situation/scenario/setup. Just like starting a movie with a voice over isn't action just because it's talking about things that have or even are happening, it's exposition. That doesn't mean anything is inherently good or bad, But when people say the story didn't...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    That's the point, though. In EQ, if you went to a zone and someone else was killing something somewhere, that's what was happening. In TES if you went to a village and killed something, that's what happened. With phasing, you go to an area and kill something, and that's what you're doing by...

    Makes you think. If Brad isn't actively engaged in creating the game, maybe he's just there to take all the credit, get high, lie about progress, fuck up the funding, then no-show when his team is fired in the parking lot. And Brad already called in all his favors lying to his old "friend"...

    It doesn't matter since scaling/gating content isn't the point, but in EQVanilla didn't you have to be level 46 to enter the Plane of Hate and Fear? Phasing is probably the most concrete evidence the interaction is fake and meaningless. I found the 'magic' in TES franchise and games like...

    Rushed, slow, same thing to most people. Let's be honest and admit even if this season is half as good as the first, most people won't know why and will still love it because it's now the cool thing to watch and it's still going to be better than most of the shit on tv.

    True Detective

    Yeah, it's probably just great casting. I can see them talking about how they really want someone for the role you want to take seriously since the role is one-dimensionally serious, but spice it up by having the viewer not convinced because you're pretty sure he's about to go on the same...

    True Detective

    Season 1 had such a distinct narrative style that let us start directly with action and interaction of the characters that I almost feel like PIzzolatto didn't know what else to do, so he figured he'd just go ultra conventional. This felt like your typical hack fantasy-novel opening where you...

    It wasn't as strong as season 1 opener as I recall, despite the acting and writing being good. I'm personally a fan of starting the story and letting the characters build over time through context like I felt season 1 managed to do. This felt like a prolonged character study, and was a bit...

    I think I actually liked Killjoys a bit more than Dark Matter. I don't expect either to be a particularly deep or well crafted, but Killjoys was more fun and progressed faster. Dark matter has the better premise, but felt more plodding and like they were trying to take things very seriously...

    Ummm, people who aren't anti-social fucks? I agree it's an issue when soloing becomes more efficient than grouping and that incentivizing soloing isn't usually necessary. If you don't have time for a group, then being able to solo at all should be the incentive. I think the desperate call...
