    Hannibal

    I like how even though I have an idea what happens to certain characters, and where they are in the books/movies timeline, they can still surprise me.

    Oh Hannibal, my love, I can't wait to see what you serve me in season three.

    Hannibal

    Best show on TV by far, in my opinion. It's just so...sumptuous.

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    Oh the spell discovery system, which, the internet being what it is became nothing more than a gimmick, was a cool idea. I was a fist weapon-using mage and the world could be traveled from one end to the next. I hated the zone system in EQ because I played AC first and was used to that...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This fuckin game. I got hacked (my own fault for not having an authenticator, I know) on September 10 of last year. I've called them, was put on hold for hours while they assisted other customers, apparently to tantric phone sex for as long as this shit took, and then was told I was on the...

    Asheron's Call 2, Brand New Server Dawnsong Turbine bringing back!

    AC was my first MMO, after playing DikuMuds for a few years. I was terrible at it and never got very far, but the sound of drudges haunts me to this day. I loved AC. I even resubbed once a few months ago, but couldn't justify the expense. Also played AC2 from start to finish. Would love to...

    IT Remake

    I think Javier Bardem would be terrifying.

    IT Remake

    The spider bullshit made a lot more sense when read in the context of the Dark Tower. Also, cocaine is a hell of a drug.

    Almost Human

    Of course he's going to say it helps the show; he wants more shows. However, I do think that the show is far more reliant on the interactions of the lead characters (and only the leads, as so far, I find every other character an embarrassingly shitty caricature: gruff, female Basil...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I think he's been downloaded into an android body and he'll be the Vision when the next Avengers rolls around. I liked the episode, some good Whedonisms in it, and the plot was enjoyable. I felt the characters to be rather one-dimensional, especially for Whedon, but what can you expect from...

    Good luck. After being hacked, I waited on the phone for three hours to be told I would receive an email in a day or so, then a confirmation email a week later telling me I had my account back. That was a week and a half ago and I'm still waiting on the first email.

    Dexter

    Look, either kill him and make him pay for all he's done, or use the Code or some other contrivance to get him to Rio to be happy. Either way give us an ending and earn it. This did neither. TV abortion.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Nooooope. Star Trek: TMP was directed by Robert Wise and was, albeit a very slow movie, it was a very Trek movie. Sure it was 70's looking and they tried to get all 2001 with the really long, pointless effect shots, but story-wise, it was Trek. ST V was an abortion from the moment Shatner was...

    Bar Ownership?

    Well, for starters, I know someone who knows the director of the ABLE commission, and I know some people in the Commerce department, which has a division for small business owners, so hopefully the red tape will be somewhat minimized when I get to that part. I have a rough outline of a business...

    Bar Ownership?

    I appreciate very much all the input and discussion. As to some of the questions: The place I'm thinking of locating is near a revitalized downtown, and right in the middle of the hipster/artsy part of town. There are at least two other areas within a couple of miles of my location that are...

    Bar Ownership?

    That is a valid point and a point of concern. This is all still coalescing in my head. I just know how much I like the concept of a place for people like me, but clearly the execution of said concept is a bugger.

    The STORY of 4 was retarded but the execution of that story was great.

    Bar Ownership?

    Oh, I'm in no way offended. I want my shit ripped to hell and back. That's how you learn and improve. I'm just on the very precipice of this and before I waded in too deeply, I wanted information from a group of people I wasn't afraid to show my ignorance to. I do apologize if my ignorance...

    Bar Ownership?

    Forgive me if I'm way off, as I said, I'm quite new to this, just seeing how possible the idea is. I assumed people got small business loans, loans from banks, investors, or other sources to provide capital to start a business. That said, I also understand that these loans from banks are hard...

    Bar Ownership?

    A liquor license is relatively cheap in my state, the inspections are problematic but from what I hear, not impossible to deal with, plus I know a couple of people at the licensing commission. I did not say I was knowledgeable about the management of bars, I said my wife was somewhat familiar...

    Bar Ownership?

    I had an idea for a bar. Sports bars take advantage of the passions of sports fans and seem to reap a decent return. I wanted to do the same thing for nerds. I think a bar with a nerd theme, accepting of varied interests, could be pretty successful, given the right circumstances. There's an...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    I would rate the reboot higher than dead last. Star Trek V will always have that distinction for me. Sure, the reboot had gaping plot holes wider than Sasha Grey's ass, but they got two things really right (for the most part): they got the characters right (again almost, I'm looking at you...

    I agree. I don't know what they COULD offer to make this right, but seven days free seems rather paltry compared to our having to pay to deal with their woeful inability to plan, despite all the interest in the betas and pre-orders.

    What I've noticed is sometimes when I'm clicking through it puts me in the queue, but if I hit zero again, it just starts over and the queue is full again. I don't know if the autokey thing accounts for that, but it may be a reason some people seem to take longer getting in.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    And Vulcans, by nature, are MORE emotional than humans. It was that emotion that led to the Sundering and the Romluans taking off while the teachings of Surak and his attempt to supress his emotions dominated the Vulcan homeworld. That's why the best Vulcan actors (Nimoy and Tim Russ) have...

    One of my favorite scenes in the first movie, still get almost weepy when I see it: You once asked me why I married your mother...I married her because I loved her.

    I had similar problems because the stupid email they send doesn't really specify what to do. With your CE email, there should be a 20 digit code (This was a CE purchased directly from SE but I think the process is the same regardless). You have to log on to square's official site, go to...

    So for my edification, since I didn't have to do this yesterday, the correct procedure is to spam the shit out of login servers, over and over, as it says it's full and kicks you back out, until you get in? Then never logging off as long as there is enough electricity to power your computer...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Come on, Chaos, you know Spock would never have allowed a mere cadet to cajole her way into a different assignment if she wasn't giving him ass. He pored over those duty assignments and I assure you every cadet was given a logical destination. Even his reason for assigning her to the Farragut...

    Breaking Bad

    This was my point. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the video the first time Hank actually had confirmation of some of the things he'd suspected Walt had been doing? It's been a while since I've watched earlier seasons, but my impression was that some of the info Walt was putting out there...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    The implication in the first movie was they were dating even then. Her demand to be on the Enterprise crew, and his rapid acquiescence. The kiss on the transporter pad, etc. And them being together was simply a continuation of that relationship in the first film.
