    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I'm not even sure what the argument is here. Is anyone here arguing that the next gen consoles won't be able to give dramatically better graphics than current gen? I don't understand what the use is in comparing the delta between 1998-2002 tech and 2008-2012 tech. Are you guys are inferring...

    Yeah, I'm just saying that falling into her manipulation is more interesting than what he did in the first two seasons which was more senseless.

    I do feel like the show has a lot of freedom in the telling of Dany's story to make the progression a lot more enjoyable. I don't remember the story very well but it seems like you could replace her incompetence with bad luck and have the same result.

The most egregious example of this was their description of how agents would intelligent path to different locations. They specifically...

    SimCity

    SimCity is no AC:M. It definitely should have been delayed by six months or so, but it's flawed from the ground up. You could point to literally any feature or design decision and there would be serious problems with it.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I didn't like Joeffrey's character in the first two seasons but the scenes this season have been excellent. My problem with the first two seasons of Joefrey were that he seemed like an irrational character and only served as an twirly mustache antagonist. But in this season he has a life of his...

    I'd say that Sean Bean's character went through more of a change but that's just me!! jk I agree with you. I'd also argue that Tyrion has gone through a lot of change but it might be because the surroundings he's in rather than his character changing. He goes from travelling joker to captured...

    So stop watching fox/cnn, lol. When they captured white hat I was at a buddies' house and someone came in and said he heard on the radio that they captured white hat. My buddy turned on cnn to get an update then chagned to fox when cnn was a clusterfuck. fox was giving no useful information...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I wonder how many very popular shows that also followed an existing set of popular books have been canceled due to actor demands. It seems like if one of the main characters were to quit in the 4th+ season due to bullshit that they'd become a bit of a pariah in the industry.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think there's two things that mitigate this: 1. I can only assume that in the last book all the dominos are set up and creating the finale is probably easier and more interesting than creating these boring middle parts. 2. I don't think it's impossible or unreasonable that the final TV show...

    This was the best episode since blackwater. Everything was great and it was like a mini-finale. It really does feel like she's going to load her new bros into a ship and go take over westeros, but nope. It's all downhill from here on that continent. hahahaha

    Not if it only kills a few people. If you asked me a week ago what the death count would be from a WMD detonated in a mass of 2000 people I'd guess around 2000 people.

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    I'm surprised WMD is even a legal term, much less defined as 'explosive device'. Weapon and Destruction are redundant and mass isn't an indicator of anything.

    This is true for most people. I'm not sure about this but I think it's because game engines typically rely on the CPU to do a lot of the shadow work (I'm not sure why).

    I agree, Gavin. I started the doom mace upgrade and will see how it goes when it's finished, but if you can get 40+ even average quality horsemen with doom maces equipped you can drastically increase your earning potential from prisoners. I am getting a lot more lag/micro stutters in >500 person...

    I don't see how whether they reported their shit to DHS or did not matters. Is DHS responsible for ensuring that industry and agriculture is up to safety standards?

    The article is strictly true, but if their argument is that EA/Maxis have somehow slipped away from SimCity unscathed it's completely false.

    I see what you mean about how slow it is to found your own order. It's fine if you have very long playthroughs, but if you're like me and most of your playthroughs are with teleportation and no fog of war then the orders are a bit unusable. Plus I really hate losing my companions since I prefer...
