    Master of Orion

    The game I really wish they would remake is Master of Magic, which was made by the same company that did MOO. A modern Star Control would be a welcome console game, too.

    Wasteland 2 has been my favorite PC game of the last two years, though the Shadowrun sequel was up there, too.

    Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck

    You also have to remember that Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Sound Garden basically broke the shitty pop stranglehold on the music scene at that time. And as mentioned, Cobain was a great bullshitter and self promoter, plus they did not have the internal drama of Sound Garden nor the aversion to the...

    Seriously, though, what's with the crease lines on "her" neck in a bunch of these pictures?

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Bonus points if you get a BJ and when she asks you how it was you reply with "Mediocre!"

    That statement in no way discredits what Deathwing said.

    So much nerd hipster going on around here.....

    Fallout 4

    If all this is ends up being is an updated clone of FO3, I will still feel it money well spent. The story I really wanted to see in game (Van Buren) got partially used in Old World Blues, so I am not getting that wish. The game is all about the backstory and atmosphere, which that trailer...

    Arrow

    Matter of opinion, but watching all of DD before this season made this season of Arrow almost unwatchable for the wife and I. Ras Al Ghul is really the only redeeming part of it, but Fisk was handled just as well in DD S1. It comes down to how much camp and angst you want out of your comic...

    Arrow

    Yeah Hal Jordan and Ollie run was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. Hal was powerful, but basically a humorless dick and he needed Oliver to balance out his personality. It was arguably one of the better DC comics of the late 70s early 80s. Anyhow, this season really tanked the...

    Arrow

    That's what the show turned him into and its lifting Batman plots left and right. The comic book Green Arrow was much more of a swashbuckler type, whereas this version is just a batman who lies a lot to his friends.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah and everything you described about her family laid the groundwork for your wife to be double extra strength coo coo for coa-coa puffs down the road. Khane is the only guy here with an itchy trigger finger, I think. Most of the rest of us have the opposite problem.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think we are all just too numbed by dealing with Onoes, where nothing is subtle and it requires a sledge hammer to get points across. We are not used to dude looking for advice about minor concern in this thread anymore.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No shit. Noodle defies logic on a lot of levels though and gets away with it. There are just some things you just do not say at all when talking to a woman you are in a relationship unless you want to nuke it right there. "Clingy", "Cunt", "You are just like your mother.", and "Your sister...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You largely covered why opiate's advice is not good with a very candid self assessment here. My impression is that he either has not had or is not into long term commitment, either. Apples and Oranges. If you are playing the long game, which a lot of us over 30 "betas" are, different rules...

    Fallout 4

    Proton Axe was god damn ridiculous if you were set up for mele. The stealth suit, while nerfed compared to the FO3 version, was still good enough to wear over powered armor. And the sniper rifle was certainly godmode. Rest of the items were largely ok. OA and the limitless supply of alien...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This is a person who tried to derail his last relationship by suggesting a threesome and was surprised when that blew up in his face. The concept of long term relationships with give and take is foreign to him and he really should be in the GWBYH thread, but that one basically died out and all...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think its a nesting thing. She is mid 30s and looking to settle down and does not want to take any chances. That plus early stages of relationship bring in the clingy factor. Call me old fashioned, but I consider 6 months a short relationship unless its a bang buddy situation. As sad and...

    Bloodborne

    Maybe it is the chalice dungeons one shotting stun proof autotrack bosses making me jaded, but I just do not trust the parries in this game at all. Sometimes enemies simply do not end up stunned from the setup charge attack or parry. Sometimes they randomly throw in an extra swing into their...

    Big Trouble In Little China Remake

    Blatantly offensive non PC western comedy with modern jokes. McFarland basically said the movie was a homage to Blazing Saddles in the commentary. I agree that the whole black sheriff gag is one that will never be repeated, though.

    Big Trouble In Little China Remake

    And while not strictly a remake, Million Ways to Die was clearly a huge riff on Blazing Saddles.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Depends on if you want a long lasting relationship or not. That takes compromise and prioritizing what's important. Doing that takes time and care. If all your doing is switching out bangmaids every couple years, then yeah bailing early on a relationship due to a couple differences makes...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Both mid 30s and only 6 months in? Yeah she is trying to lock you down a bit. She could be batshit or she could have just been burnt before and have some trust issues. Either way, 6 months in is way to early to tell. Trying to have a discussion about this is a fools errand, though. It will...

    Bloodborne

    I agree its powerful if you master it, but its like parrying in the Souls games. Its basically there for master level players who want to dedicate the time to it. For us filthy casuals, roll into it and power down with Ludwigs (or Axe starting out) pretty much wins just about any fight in the...

    Big Trouble In Little China Remake

    I thought the Fright Night remake was actually a good one, both a homage to the original and some modernized twists. Plus Collin Farrell nailed it like Homsar said. Very few remakes/reboots get the right balance between paying homage (and avoiding unintentional parody) and doing a new take on...

    Bloodborne

    95% of the bosses can be beat by rolling into their attacks, charge swing from behind to stun, then Visceral. The rest are just a matter of knowing how their hitboxes work and adjusting movement accordingly. Normal mobs are a waste of ammo to parry and really the only true purpose the gun...

    Memories, Emotions & Shit Threads

    You guys forgot the whole part of the Nosebeast drama where we were asking for a Tech forum and not getting it and then from out of nowhere there's a Fashion Forum with her moderating it. There were numerous abuses that went on to piss people off, but it always comes down to the same thing in...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Plus the dude has been a baller actor in every movie he has been in, even the bad ones. I am glad they got good actors for the key roles in this, even with the limited dialog. It made all the difference.

    LOL someone negged me for that last post. I could care less about the negging itself, but I would like to know what it was for at least. Edit: Double zing for the grammar Nazi, too. Of course, I do care about the negging somewhat so the statement was not technically a grammatical error...

    Bloodborne

    Full clears of Hyperion Goal with the Moon Gem equipped are a lot faster. You can net over 25k in blood and a pile of gems you can sell off for more, if need be. Plus you will come out ahead by 5-6 vials per clear. That and I have had zero luck trying to get any coop going in this game. I...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Went and saw it again last night. Its better on the second viewing when you can actually focus on the spectacle instead of just trying to keep your butt cheeks clenched all movie. And fuck off to anyone who bitched about the characters or acting. Every character was interesting in some way...

    The worst part about this game is that it has made Moon Bat post someplace other than the Rickshaw.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Movie was an all time great, arguably the best of the series. Granted I am a sucker for Post Apocalyptic settings, but really this movie easily trumped any MCU movie I have seen (possible exception of GotG) and deserves to be a monument to how to make a really awesome action movie. Everything...

    Bloodborne

    Is there a trigger for being able to kill the undead queen behind the castle boss? I remember doing it the first time I played this game, but this time I can't kill her for the Queens Flesh for some odd reason. Also, holy shit level 100? That's some serious farming. I was ready to claw my...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    (A) She divorced you, as I recall, so for her to expect any measure of control over when you hang out with another romantic interest is ridiculous. Unless the new girl does something to threaten her position as mother of your children, Ex needs to grow the fuck up. It won't happen and she is...

    Memories, Emotions & Shit Threads

    The Coffee and TV ousting and the Millie meltdown were my watershed moments in this community during the old days. Maybe the Sam Deathwalker thread and Kate Hoof stuff, too. I'd say the Rav hooking and Jeffylys stuff stacks up pretty well against it.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    She shacked up with some new dude first and Onoes (supposedly) did not make a peep about that. GET A FUCKING LAWYER YESTERDAY ! Seriously. The ex is nuts and not thinking rationally and you have all but put your nuts in a vice and handed her the twist handle. Its ok that you are a...
