    Star Trek: Picard

    In the current climate I'm not sure anyone would be brave enough to write many stories that didn't also include what you should think about the themes presented.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Boy, that's almost a cruel stat to bring up if anyone at the studio or distributor thought Picard would have TNG levels of reviews. I'd bet even Voyager fucking dumpsters that shit on the daily.

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    If anyone hasn't watched his performance of Rocket Man it's amazing. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is also wonderfully bizarre. Also I unironically love his cover of Common People. It's my preferred version of the song.

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    He's been dealing with ultra nerds for a half century. He remembers when Star Trek conventions were brand new and he was doing them. I can get him being a grump on twitter. He's probably been pitched tens of thousands of "you should do X with Y" nerd shit.

    What fight? Do they make a living wage? In general, yes. Out here their income is right next to median income with robust benefits thrown on top. That's not bad for one certificate and one undergrad degree.

    Teacher's don't make a living wage? Between salary, benefits and retirement they're covered. I like the way that geezer is drawn.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    PoP + LDoN/Ykesha is just too long and people's nostalgia ends around there. I wish there was more effort made to get people to stick around.

    She picks them up in an unseen loop during the final action sequence. You see the antenna monster that she got it back from towards the end when she 1v1s it.

    Cage performed better in attempts where he didn't know what was going on. The dude can really fucking move when he thinks it's all or nothing.

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    If you scroll through the thread waaaaay back you'll see a post by me of the same thing. One of the dudes I see movies with came up with that explanation walking out of the theater (the ass) and it basically fixes the entire last act. I'm not saying it's intended or anything but it fits so well...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    When she taunts Cage about how long it took him to get out of the stretcher (that she was already out of lightning quick due to several repetitions of practice) she has her full powers. We see the antenna monster that powered her back up a little later on. The entire final action sequence where...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    The book is really good and just different enough to be also be worth your time if you've seen the movie. Reminder that in the last act of the film the Full Metal Bitch has her powers back and has been looping for a while trying to get Cage through the last action sequence without him turning...

    If I found myself having to run an open table I'd 100% murder bitches but goddamn does that sound unappealing. I guess as a favor as part of a promotional thing for a store? I've played in a few long running "anyone who walks in the door" type of campaigns and they can have some charm but...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    There is definitely a trajectory of commodification as these servers continue. With each new TLP a few more camps and a few more items get added to the sweatshop assembly line. It's gotten real, real tough to be anywhere or do anything that's pretty decent and not see people. Previously fringe...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Having systems that you have been carrying forward for a number of years and wanting to be free of them I can completely get, clean slate and all that. The players that have been collecting and upgrading heirlooms are going to feel like they've had something taken away from them which is true.

    There needs to be something in between intentional training intended to wipe or push someone out of an area and the perfectly normal situations where something cocks up. Right now it sounds like they gave quite a few people week vacations on some fairly small shit.
