In both The Body and the film adaptation Stand by Me the character of Gordy LaChance tells his friends a revenge story with a fat kid that pukes on everyone at a pie eating contest. In both the book and the movie it's this great, surreal little detour. At the end of the story his friends all...

The story does end. The poem is the true ending of the story. It's literally how the book ends. Get out your copy, open it up, flip to the end, and there's the poem. He gets to the tower, he blows the horn, the end.

No one else but King could get away with introducing a character like Patrick Danville at the very very end of a seven book epic through a magic door and having him immediately job out the primary antagonist of not only that series but other books. Hey, this kid who gets like two lines in a...

He's just not great at endings. I thought Doctor Sleep was pretty decent overall but when it came to be the final confrontation all the bad guys got jobbed out immediately and it was all around anti-climatic. I was envisioning this really massive event where Rose the Hat goes into Danny's mind...

Why not have a storybook ending? Why not have something big? So it was going to be a hard story to end properly. That's no reason to give the shitty, cop-out ending we got. Oh, he's in a loop. Lovely. But THIS time he's got the Horn of Eld! Hey asshole, maybe tell me that story? Maybe that's the...

I like 2001 just fine and I'm about halfway through The Martian and I like it just fine as well. If the movie comes out like the book I'll be surprised. I'm expecting it to end up closer to Promethus than to 2001.

Accurate.

Boy do I not miss corpse runs. The lack of them doesn't diminish my gaming experience in the least.

His character drug down Interstellar pretty hard but that had nothing to do with his performance.

I'm like an hour into the audio book and I can see why so many of you really like it. Something this sciencey translated into a motion picture? Probably going to be terrible.

The best part about an interesting looking movie coming out based on a book people speak well of is that I can just go get the book and enjoy it now.

You're aren't a straight shooter saying it like it is. You're a toxic lump of toadstool.

No dude,youdon't get it. You're toxic.

Paused video 27 seconds in. He's talking about the mute button, isn't he. edit - boom goes the dynamite

No, you are not.

That we would ever reach a point in EQ where someone could use software to partially automate 12 characters, take down raid targets, and sell the spoils for dollars (basically), and have it be A-OK is beyond me. I find it very, very distasteful and that little cancer could do some substantial...

Piles and piles of grey con mobs that will murder the shit out of you earned that zone the nickname The Grey Death for a time. So many casters. So much murder.

The torches people are paying that for come from Najena and are used in the Torch of Ulna (I forget the exact name) pet focus item from the Temple of Solusk Ro quests. There are tons of mages and I think people use fire pets versus Nagafen? I don't even know. They benefit they provide is...

"I'm a bigot who thinks everyone that isn't like me is unclean. Please give me special treatment."

I've only looked at the classes I know but best in slot my fucking ass.

I really, really do want all of this to have a happy ending. I don't want to read in the papers that Caityln committed suicide after all of this attention wore off because in reality the cosmetic work didn't actually fix anything. I hope this puts Ms. Jenner on the path to the life she always...

On Live VP has a small revamp and doesn't require keys. I don't know what it will look like on progression.

That'll be someone's box.

Got a soft spot for Ogre Warriors. Want to be on their good side for ToV.

People have gotten very accustomed to their bitching translating into patch notes. It's not even that Mages are so amazing. The strengths of melee characters just don't come through without decent equipment and unfortunately classic loot itemization sucks the root. You don't get gear while...

Mages might be The Awesome but they are going to become the EQ equivalent of the Huntard in short order. I know they are overrepresented so you see more of them than anyone else and it's natural to focus on the negative over the positive but if someone is going to suck at their job or suck at...

I too am very much a fan of that. I think it's a great way to do things.

You've got time, sure. But you also are going to want to do what you want to do when you want to do it. Sitting around going nowhere is pretty terrible even if you'll get to 50 by winter.

If you are a healer or caster you get bind affinity at level 12 and can bind yourself anywhere. If you aren't high enough level or don't have the spell you can bind in any city in the game at a Soulbinder. Kaladim has one, for example, and it's a closer run from there to Unrest.

Even as someone who plays MtG both physical and online I have to recommend Hearthstone. It's the game you want.

Fire pets have an absurdly large damage shield.

Morrow confirmed anti-fun. You should have joined in! Go for the long con.

Gah, and there are level 50s again.

Was pretty crazy being able to stack extra huge damage shields because of Bard craziness.

Is there someone that would lend me an account tomorrow for the launch of Lockjaw? Some of the shit I do to get myself set up at the initial open really benefits from having a mule. Normally I'd just use Ronne but he's occupied. It would be for less than an hour tomorrow at launch.

Yeah, but then at level 50 you've got a Cleric.

I'M HELPING

Everyone uses it and it's awesome.

Having planned on Fennin Ro for a while back during classic when it was the highest pop server Ragefire is like that but much worse. Hopping on to a low to medium pop server with Kunark made the entire game come alive and it's a big part of why my personal nostalgia begins there. Anyone hating...

If you are looking for Instrument of Nife you're waaaaaaaay late to that goose chase.
