    World War Z

    The only criticism I've heard that really, really is turning me off to the idea of seeing this is the use of fast edits and camera shaking to obfuscate the violence. Is it a problem? If they start whipping that camera to and fro too much I'll get motion sickness.

    The NSA watches you poop.

    What in God's name are you talking about? The people who think he was in the wrong already thought he was in the wrong and for the people that regard him as a "heroic whistleblower" the fact that he's had to seek refuge elsewhere only fits in with that narrative. And you just marginalized...

    I could see Russia doing stuff behind close doors but to aid the U.S. in apprehending Snowden would be a big internationally public thing. To do so would break kayfabe.

    The shame of it is that she should just have Hecarim's ult. You turn into a dragon, you fly in, some people get feared (because I'm a fucking dragon), and you run around clawing the shit out of everyone while leaving firey burning death in you wake. Instead she's got the worst Malphite ult ever...

    With Shyvanna I would want her ultimate to break roots and for it to have the same temporary immunity that Malphite, Vi, and Malphite enjoy during travel. Being unable to even push R because you are rooted sucks and getting immediately tossed out of the air WHEN YOU ARE A FUCKING DRAGON and not...

    League Of Legends

    In terms of a profit model, even if it's a temporary arrangment, there isn't anything wrong with it. In terms of trying to actually promote women in competitive League of Legends play it's an awful gimmick that sets women back and reinforces numerous negative stereotypes for the gender.

    League Of Legends

    It's just a line nuke with average base damage and a .7 ratio. If you've gone with Augment Death than it's good stuff but I still say that the reward is out of line with the difficulty of use. With Viktor the very first thing I would do would be increase the projectile return speed on his Q...

    I like him aram for the most part and I've played some games as Viktor support and it almost works? Depending on the match up you can trade damage with his Q pretty well and his Gravity Field is very very good but the rest of him is bleh. Ever since they added Kha'Zix I've thought that they...

    I see you didn't get that I was trying to highlight how you were saying that you didn't want to trade your reprinted Dark Confidant because it probably wouldn't get reprinted. Sure, it's not likely to show up in a Standard legal set but there isn't anything stopping him from being reprinted in...

    This was making the rounds and if it trickled down to me I assume everyone else read it but I'm going to post it anyway. It's from Redditt - I caught a German film a few years ago that was about the Stasi (The Lives of Others, quite good) and if the U.S. starts down that path I don't know what I...

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    When I was going through a teaching program years ago some of the teachers I was with were far more cynical regarding the benefits of uniforms. In such a system you end up with some students with few sets of clothing and one pair of shoes that they have to wear a long time and the other students...

    It's not hardcore anything. It doesn't take all that long to grind the couple levels necessary to buy a couple of level three spells, walk in, get the crown, and get out. You can't even get all the loot without the Mystic Key so there's no reason to bust your ass the first time through anyway...

    I've played the graphically updated one that's part of Origins and the remake for the GBA and the one for the GBA is just too easy. Swapping out the Vancian spell system for MP is already enough to trivialize the entire thing but when combined with the changes (mega boosts) to leveling it's...

    I'm tempted to take a picture of myself holding a sign that says "I need feminism because men don't always ask for permission before talking to women" but I fear it going viral.

    Maybe you shouldn't conjure up a million hypothetical reasons not to talk to someone and maybe you should be a fucking adult who maybe steps forward and starts up a conversation and risks rejection from time to time and maybe you shouldn't rationalize this piss poor beta behavior as being some...

    Well, it looks like you bought yourself a Red Box to get started with and there's nothing wrong with that. Most dice rolling is determined by the rules (making an attack, doing damage, using a skill, etc) but for things that aren't covered the rolling of dice becomes entirely up to the DM...

    I don't think you understand very well the species you belong to. Almost the entire burden of introduction and approach is on the male side and they take all the risks to their status that are incurred by being rejected. The very idea that you are trying to paint this situation as being...

    What you have to remember with Aphro is that he was a very popular streamer top of the ladder up and coming hot prospect player that got picked up to play support rather than ADC. His play in that role has never been tempered in the competitive environment. Think of him like a rookie with promise.

    Back when hotshot would stream he would sometimes just talk about the community, esports, what was happening in the game, etc. and I always thought he had some real insight. If he's going to focus on the business side I really do believe he's going to be great at it and a much greater asset to...

    I like that one too. Think of the review as an opportunity to track down the uncredited source material and read that given that you liked the episode. And sfdebris, among neckbeard internet reviewers, is very very good. He's top shelf for his ilk.
