    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I completely did not expect his Northern Power Play. But I think (hope) that LF and the Boltons underestimate "The North Remembers" and all of the Stark supporters.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I do like how they've arranged the show. To the careful viewer there is absolutely no situation where the Bolton's survive this. Cersei declares them traitors because of Sansa and Stannis is nearly upon them. So that sweet justice will come soon enough. Sansa has no choice but to become Darth...

    So is Ramsay super short or is Sansa freakishly tall?

    The Streets are mean, but not as mean as the Lord of Hell and he's here to keep em clean.

    True Detective

    Common theme here being that the odds of season two living up to season one are basically nil. Nitpicking reasons aside.

    Lucifer

    I just can't get my head around the idea that (even if you're not a reader of the comic) Lucifer, the Lord of fucking Hell, gives a shit about solving a god damn murder case. For fuck's sake, even that angel was all, "Hey dude, all those millions of damned souls you've been punishing for...

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    You had me at Vandal Savage. I've always had a hardon for that character and the potential ways he could be written. More Captain Cold and Heatwave is always a bonus. This is going to be fucking awesome.

    I really must say. The TV world building they're doing is fucking awesome and surprisingly well done.

    Supergirl

    Why is Jimmy Olson black and middle-aged professional? I prefer the goofy "dumb kid" intern version of Jimmy Olson myself. But I'll watch it. Also, she revealed her "secret identity" to no less than three people in the trailer alone. That's just weird.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well they can kill Stannis or they can kill Jon. They cannot kill both as those two are the key leaders of the forces who will inevitably fight the White Walkers. I think that is the reality of it. Without doing something really cheesy. Question being is who gets it, and with R+L = J being a...

    Lucifer

    I don't know if I like the "mortal" angle they're playing. Lucifer in the comic was uncontested by the Angels for a long time because he was literally the second most powerful being in all of Creation. As Michael was indisposed and dumb as a post anyway. So he just did what he wanted.

    I'm going to have to agree with Kreugan here. Littlefinger has no apparent grand aspirations. But is good at seeing a situation for what it is and knowing how to push it in his favor. He also knows when to abandon plans and how to avoid being detected (mainly because, like Varys, he has no...

    Yeah, so the stone men just hang out like statues there all day until they find someone to pounce upon and "Make them one of us." Even for a Leper colony that is some depressing shit right there.

    So it is at least loosely, and I mean VERY loosely, related to the Lucifer comic series? Similar principle... minus the buddy cop shit. I'll watch it.

    Being an adult sucks

    For me it isn't the responsibilities or anything. I like the freedom, yeah. I'm only 28 but I'd let other people influence my life more than I should have. So I am correcting that viciously. Most annoying part overall is that I feel that I have less money even though I make considerably more...

    Witcher 3

    I really really enjoyed playing the yahtzee mini-game circuit. Even in the first game. This new card game of Gwent is going to be interesting. Normally I don't get pulled into that kind of shit. But Witcher subplots and minigames are fantastic. Any word that we have more Iorveth this time...

    Awwwww. Occult stuff was the best part of it. I liked how mysterious it was with all of it. Cut and dry (but very well done) murder case is just less interesting. At least to a nerd like me.

    As CDPR is one of the few companies that goes to such lengths for its customers. I am inclined to think that GMG was being dicks on this. Even if, CDPR wanted to support their own GOG platform. More power to em. GOG started by them resurrecting fantastic games so that they could be played on...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    When the Night's Watch found him they brought his body back to Castle Black, then it reanimated. So it kind of implied that they can't cross the Wall on their own power, they can be moved across. Think of it like vampires or some shit not being able to cross a threshold without being invited or...

    I imagine its because if you leave a corpse out, or just bury it. The WW can animate it. As seen by the skeletons outside the Children of the Forest's cave.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think the wall stops their Wights from passing it. Not the WW themselves. I mean, if the WW cant pass the wall, you wouldn't need an order (10,000 strong most the time) to guard the stupid thing. The first wight in the book was able to attempt and kill Lord Commander Mormont in Castle Black...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The problem with the scene isn't that that they audience (show only) is supposed to think they are pit fighters. It is that they had that entire sub plot exposing the Sons of the Harpy as being poor assholes who hated being equal to slaves. Now, the one guy they caught doesn't represent the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The scene totally cheapened the Unsullied. Who, even within the context of the show, were built up as the "ultimate" warrior. Losing to a bunch of thugs that have already been established as masked, one step above slaves, servant idiots with absolutely no training. Relying solely on attacking...

    So I just cheked POF in the Austin area and holy shit. I didn't think I'd have any use for it... and I was right. POF seems to be used for DateAChristian.com in the Austin area. Which is fine, if the vast majority weren't late 20's, want kids, and only ever had a relationship that lasted <1...

    My strategy has been to message whoever I find interesting then put it out of mind completely. There is absolutely no reason to invest anything into it. If they appear (key word in the online game is "appear" to be) to be really interesting, I'll follow up a few days later. Then call it quits if...

    I plan on entering what I call "semi-retirement" within the next five years or so. Six month IT contracts and six months of my silly side job that I love. Its going to be awesome. Assuming I can pull it off as I want.

    Portland? As a moving destination, not for travel

    I grew up in Southern Oregon on the rural coast in a town called Coos Bay. Its quite remote and 4+ hours from PDX. But if you're all about nature and outdoors its quite awesome and not too much foot-traffic when compared to Eugene and the other major outdoors spots. But I highly recommend it, as...

    Just read Ready Player One and I found it quite enjoyable. The entire absurdity of the scene in the "dungeon" just about had me in tears. I re-read The Great Book of BASE as it is relevant to my personal interests. Its also incredibly interesting and I highly recommend it to everyone who is...

    Just read this. The author China Mieville is incredibly imaginative. To the point of which I didn't like some of his other books for having too many weirdass characters (mosquito people, cactus, people, etc, etc) that just makes it unrelatable and uninteresting to me. But this is a hard-sci...

    I'm definitely with Phrazael on this one. Equality in income isn't that important. Other traits like being financially competent (despite income level) are far more important in the grand scheme of things. Being part of the money chase and climbing the corporate ladder is fucking AIDS. I hold it...

    I am mildly skeptical as to how it actually links you. They seem to define a "third party connection" as someone who has a friend that has a friend in common with you. Which allows for nearly astronomical levels of separation since people in their 20's have an average of 500+ friends. You...
