    RIP Harold Ramis (Spengler)

    The real genius behind of most of the Landis era SNL and movie blockbusters. Sad loss.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Vanguard was a pile of shit that got polished after SOE stepped in an normalized things. That is not even disputable. Its development is a disaster we would STILL be talking about more than any other, if Schilling had not shit the bed so epically. We all know what went down with Brad during...

    The difference is that the Sojourn admins didn't make money off of other people's ideas while claiming they came up with it all and crowing themselves Gamin Design Jesus.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    There is a significant difference between using themes and genre concepts and wholesale copy pasting. As Flight pointed out, a shit load of mechanics and names got directly lifted from Sojourn MUD and a bunch from Toril, too. Hell, verant guys were actively recruiting both staff and customers...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Linda Carter/Super Friends Wonder Woman is not who fans are wanting to see. Princess Diana of Themescyra from the JL cartoon series and post crisis/kingdom come Wonder Woman is the standard that should be aimed for. But that's not really relevant, since whiney pretzel girl cannot really pull...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    A lot of these arguments also assume that anything in EQ was challenging to begin with, beyond the progression grind and cock blocking anyone behind you. Most everything prior to PoP trials you could just zerg. There is a fine line between tedium and challenge.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    To a degree, training can make a big difference (and has). Gadot is bad for reasons that go beyond her build and I don't think she would commit enough to get to where she needed to be, anyhow. No amount of roids is going to turn grating Israeli pretzel waif into regal greek queen of the...

    Brad was in the right place at the right time with the right friends, thus was EQ made. Anything of actual worth in the game past the initial beta was entirely someone else's doing, especially the raid zones. Smed kept the business end up and running and made sure shit shipped (his main...

    @Soy- I do. I met him at the Vegas party he threw on Microsoft's dime during the VG debacle, under the guise of PR and hiring more people to work on the project. Dude was stoned off his gourd, and his longest time friends knew it and were covering for him. And there were reports of him...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I don't disagree at all with your opinion. My point is that literally any of those choices, flawed as they are, would be better than Gadot. Holy fuck is she terribad. I never really watched any of the F&F movies, but my lesbian sister in law loves her some Michelle Rodrigues, so she was...

    You give him too much credit. All the best things in EQ were not his work, either. What he didn't steal directly from TorilMUD was mostly devised by underlings. His singular talent seems to be creating ever larger train wrecks. Seriously, I did not think that there could BE a bigger disaster...

    Yeah this guy thinks he is Lord British or something. Artistic freedom aside, he is really shitting on a lot of people over his distaste for the part of the industry that pays the bills.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    You think Black Widow was cast perfectly? Serious question. I think there are several women with the acting chops who would be a little bit of physical training away from executing that role. Many have already been mentioned in this thread. To me, the main issue I have is that this is...

    Robocop - Remake

    First one had shitty action, if we are being honest. Were it excelled was the satire and cynicism about American culture. The new one is more about free will and corporate extremism in a Gibson like story. A good reboot doesn't just copy the same story and it changes to reflect the culture of...

    Robocop - Remake

    Not as good, or satirical, as the original, but fuck the haters. It was a real good movie. Early parts dragged a bit and they should have put more scenes of him crushing street crime, but that's minor pacing gripes. Oldman and Keaton stole the show. Lots of good nods to William Gibson, too.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Depends on your idea of marriage. My wife would arguably be my best friend even if she was not my wife, so I like to keep her happy when it is within my means to do so. I guess if you have a showboat wife or servant wife, yeah fuck this holiday.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I shell out money for a nice bouquet every year, and sometimes randomly during the year just for the hell of it. My wife is not girly about many things, but flowers is most definitely on that short list. Its worth dropping a Benjamin every once in a while to make her feel happy. In a pinch...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I guess my main advice is, enjoy what you have going on but remember you are on the rebound. Two rebounders working out can happen, its just the odds are kind of against it. Plus, do NOT let your ex find out, because she will use this shit to royally fuck you if she can prove you doinked this...

    Blood Bowl, Season 4

    The only time it is a bummer is when you end up having to put 8 on the pitch or worse. Nice thing about zons being so cheap is I have a nice deep bench. I have not had to put less than 11 on the pitch at kickoff since like the third game I played with them.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The fact that this girl has one fuck trophy out of the chute kind of changes things a little, though. One is a sex starved white knight pounding that pussy like it was a rented mule because he had been cut off for ever, friend zoned by his own cheating wife. This chick is a single mom who's...

    Blood Bowl, Season 4

    Yeah, pretty much because wood elves. Elves in general are never out of a game. I think the biggest issue with your roster is you have all of your skill ups focused on your WDs, so if anyone ever does manage to even KO them, you are playing with unskilled derps. AG4, unskilled derps, but...

    Yeah my zons hit the 2050 mark, I think, and I should replace the girl Funk killed last game if I were continuing my normal progression. Lets just say I ended up facing Morg and a Wizard a lot this season, but it was good practice because I was able to modify my play around that and just...

    Not a big fan of Fumbl, having played it some in the past. And the lack of team variety (and outside the rules player trading) make me want to wait on BB2 until it gets caught up to BB1 functionality. I am in for as long as we keep doing BB1, however. Let me know the average TV of people next...

    You are in rebound mode, so not getting too attached is sound advice. BUT.... Once the papers are finalized and the whole threat of doom wears off, if you are still doing the light dating heavy banging thing, I would say stick with it and see where it takes you. If she doesn't want...

    If it makes you feel better, Funk actually managed to murder one of my girls. Debated letting her die (6SPP Linewomen are easily replaced for me), but burned the Apoth anyhow and it came up dead again. Figures! I can't really complain, though. Its only the second fatality the roster has...

    Gratz to Funk for ending my run at perfection. Good game and I can trace it back to one mistake, where I should have secured the ball before blocking skinks late in the game. I think I will put the Zons away for a season and run Nurgle next season, unless we do startups again, then I might try...
