    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    By stuff that no one likes I think he's saying all the bad stuff happening to good characters, or that he's the origination of the conflict and is the series' antagonist behind the scenes thus far. Most people didn't like Eddard being decapitated or the red wedding but I think everyone agrees...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That's a good point. I get the feeling he'll have a 'look where I came from' scene with Sansa sooner or later. Or the lords of the vale will talk shit to him about his origination.

    Yeah halfway through the book and the season you're thinking the series could be called, "ASoIAF: A story of how Sean Bean saved Westeros and defeated the snow zombies"

    It's so hard to decipher through bullshit to find real technical skills and knowledge. Judging someone's ability in an interview might be a skill I'll never learn. Many times the enthusiastic and well spoken people are just good at bullshitting, and many times the introverted super-dorks just...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Yeah and I don't know why she'd assume she's barren. She had a stillborn son because blood magic (maybe).

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Considering the sitting king is a product of secret incest (rather than official one like all the targaryens!) and has no Baratheon or Targaryen in them I doubt the moral issue of being barren strongly dissuades her from taking the throne.

    I made a good living in WoW secretly auctioning off my overly focused healing to DPS on bosses we could defeat easily.

    "The Mercs" - some guy "I don't even know who that is" -Nekrage? That's how you know Nekrage and OT are new to PvP. Also music overlaid on teamspeak makes it hard to hear =(

    Honestly the lines between them are pretty blurred. I look at 'closet programming' as just one task of a software developer, and I assume that any capable person who starts out as a programmer will be doing the other tasks (requirements gathering, design/architecture, documentation, integration...

    Yeah I'm sure LF thought about that, and like a good fictional villian everything sets up nicely for him. But keep in mind that because they never consumating their marriage it's not that legit in Westeros culture.

    The ANTVR device has a realllly bad reputation in the VR community. Not sure how well founded that is.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Sorry for being lazy with my words, that's what I meant. For the uninitiated, maesters have many diffeent links in their chain based on what knowledge they've studied. It's like a boy scout's merit badges. I've always thought it was a dumb but interesting idea. Those chains would have to be...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yep. The only question imo is can he work with fight choreographers enough to do the viper/mountain fight well. His line at the end should be pretty powerful though and requires a good actor.

    Handheld Molecular Scanner

    Pretty much this. It seems like a cheap device that might work in theory but the accuracy of its readings would be shit and only work on very specific things that emitted light in conclusive ways. That being said I've done little besides look at their kickstarter and know very little about...

    That's my expectation of how it'll be, probably worse in fact. We'll probably have a spreadsheet and a rule against asking about someone being KOS in guild chat/ voip.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think so, no. If it was made out of Valyrian steel it would be worth more than anything it could contain. There's only a handful of Valyrian items in existence, almost all of them functional swords held by important people. A couple Maesters have valyrian chains.

    Yeah they didn't evne try to make him look old enough and had a pretty lame re-introduction scene. Was pretty disappointed overall but I guess it doesn't matter.

    You make a good argument, Eidal. I think this is just a question of risk vs reward. The big problem with a lot of games is that the risk vs reward metric is skewed to not reward risk at all. The game has to find the right balance of getting X% more reward for taking a route you can get killed...

    Maybe I'll just play this game when 2.1 comes out... I really love playing my monk. I have a 60 DH and WD I leveled when the game came out because monks were bad at release, got bored of them as soon as they started getting good.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I probably shouldn't comment since I haven't started playing RoS seriously, but before when mobs were blowing up due to EP the fight was pretty much over. You got your healing from all the other attacks + sweeping winds when you were getting to the point that the mobs were popping off from EP...

    fucking lol, did you deploy this on a real dog? If so do you have a publication / video for it? I want to use it as an option for when we talk about fulfilling requirements for our small UGV projects. If you had electrodes hooked up to a dog's brain that could teleoperate it, it would be the...

    I think if I were learning on my own with the intent of starting a career I'd probably create a product in a field that was interesting and spend a good deal of effort creating a good presentation for it. Ex: One of the side projects I did a few years ago was to create a software suite that...
