    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I actually kind of hope that Gendry shows up in Oldtown to help Sam Tarly forge valyrian steel / dragonglass. He's the only show character that holds the baratheon blood. In the books the Stormlands is the LZ for the Golden Company who are cut from the show. My guess? It's held by some...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Accurately simulating sunlight is for the birds. Plants don't even need the yellow spectrum or something. I'm just a layman and not a botanist so I'm bullshitting here. I don't know exactly how photosynthesis works, but from what I know it's a biochemical reaction that converts: CO2 + Water +...

    Photosynthesis is great. Until you have to replace the sun because this conversation is about indoor vegetation. Is this what you want in your house?!?! ok the last one is really cool. I know I'm talking science fiction nonsense here. I'm postulating that a theoretical...

    Aye, it's more of an science fiction art piece than a functional demonstration. Proliferation would depend on us being able to GMO so hard we become botanical gods.

    Mount & Blade - A Clash of Kings 2.0 Releasing March 28th!

    Not sure yet, I gave up when I saw it didn't have auto loot. Personally after doing this so much a lot of those features don't appeal to me anymore. I just want to get a fight with my bros, fight tough fights, level/gear and find the next badass enemy. The quests are nice but if I wanted to...

    Valencia has been ok. A few technical issues with logins, guild ranking etc. The real problem with Valencia is that it dramatically increased the power curve in the game. Pre valencia the difference between a hardcore and semi-hardcore was not massive. It was trivial to get level 55, +15...

    Mount & Blade - A Clash of Kings 2.0 Releasing March 28th!

    Took a look at playing: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index....,145937.0.html A Warhammer M&B mod. It's pretty cool, has something like 20 different races and a very large map. There are over 70 companions also which is twice as much as any other mod I've played. Version 1.0 or whatever...

    I love GMO, but the thing that surprised me about GMO is that there was a lot of genetic improvement done by blasting stuff with radiation to provoke super powered plants like we have now.

    The Flash

    Just finished season 2. I kind of mentally checked out when they showed that Zoom was a big blubbering pussy instead of this indomitable force. Only question: What happened to the Tachyon Enhancer? Dude goes Super Saiyin 2 for one episode and then never again? What did I miss?

    Haha. The leaderboards in BDO make it easy to know who is at the top. The casual players who fish and do quests don't pay attention, but all the top players know each other.

    Virtual Reality

    Yes, but in many ways it doesn't matter whether the first generation is successful. The concept of VR is well proven and will be successful even if the first gen falls on itself. Beyond that, VR is limited by core technologies that will be developed no matter what for mobile devices. VIVE...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    One thing that's goofy in the show/books is that there is almost no mention of the Targaryens in Westeros. Robert's Rebellion was pretty recent and before that there were 300 years of Targaryen rule. The north falls all over itself to get a Stark in Winterfell (ok they ruled the north for like...

    Did Varys beat Petyr Baelish's travel record by scooting from Mereen to Dorne to Mereen again in one episode? Maybe I'm just overly sensitive because of my time playing ACoK but that's the same distance as dorne to hardholme.

    Skyrim

    Nehrim was hands down better than Oblivion and showed what a TES-style game with a few key rule changes could be like when done properly. Specifically, XP driven leveling + unleveled zones + no fast travel. The no fast travel thing is easy to mod in, but requires the devs to build a world and a...

    reddit post that put the battle of the bastards in perspective. Maybe it's true and Jon has become a new man, but I think he's going to emo his way through the series. [EVERYTHING] Jon's story in 'Battle of the Bastards' isn't what people think : gameofthrones

    Black Desert

    This will usually mean server instability. Devs don't make stuff client-side out of pure laziness, it's usually to reduce network-load. A lot of times this can be done intentionally to get through the initial few months of extreme usage, where they can then relax a bit later and tighten things up.

    good response. After posting and thinking about it I'm reminded of this scene from the other show Littlefinger is in as the same character. I want Jon Snow to be the next Aegon I Targaryen, not the next Eddard Stark. I want Sansa Stark to be the next Queen of Thorns, not the next...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    enjoyed last sunday's episode with a few caveats: 1. Jon Snow did exactly that Sansa told him not to. I kind of hoped he'd develop into a smarter character by now. 2. Sansa was useless the entire season and once again only made relevant by those around her when she grudgingly agreed to help...

    Those people are self-defeating. A factional PvP system gives them a slight-taste of a guild that is duller than being in an anonymous zerg guild. It acts as a crutch that prevents them from being forced to join a community, but doesn't give them the real MMO experience of being part of one...

    I always thought the hard thing to "get" about the Monty Hall problem was that the host would never pick the door with the goat. In this case I think I would evaluate both odds as equal. Thoughts?

    After GW2->ESO->AA I'm really enjoying Black Desert Online's FFA PvP. Not only is it super annoying to have a tremendous number of assholes on your side, but you also don't get to really play with other factions. I also like that there is a fairly large player-base on one server in BDO. AA had a...
