    I used Tixati, qBittorent and uTorrent.

    Virtual Reality

    Of course, I think I've seen people do it, but there's a special headset people usually use that integrates the system together. The problem with the Rift is basically that with the Rift you want to be able to rotate your head, so you need a Pan/tilt mount for the camera. But that means there...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Who knows. I'm sure like anything else it's a mixture of things. Shireen is the first child he's burned and probably the first person he's burned who isn't a heretic. You probably also have a lot of people who deserted him when they saw the cavalry charge.

    Oh they'll know. Half of Stannis' bannermen deserted him after Shireen. Not only is it likely that some of them will go to the wall, but some of them will also go south and after they warm up start talking about Stannis the Mannis burning his daughter.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The way I interpret it: 1. The white walkers can move about somewhat freely north of the wall. 2. The white walkers' ability to control the undead is dependent on cold or winter or something. 3. White walkers are not actually that tough if you have obsidian or valyrian steel. (or dragons). So...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's tough to say what's a departure and what's an advancement. In most respects this episode ended with plotlines being very close to where they were in the books.

    Fallout 4

    So who here is excited about the building stuff? I'm kind of non-chalant about it for a few reasons: 1. I don't know what the purpose of building a little home is and how it integrates it with the gameplay. At its core Fallout is all about being a nameless wanderer encountering the world and...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I guess it's just the way these things go, but I'm annoyed that they have three major characters who are 'semi-dead'. You could make the argument that Myrcella, Stannis and Jon will all be alive next season in some form. And with that in mind, how many of you want to read random leaks...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I agree only if the crew know that Myrcella dies. The most likely reaction from Jamie would be to cry out for help and hope Trystane knows enough about poison to help her, but if he kept it quiet and kept her locked away he could conceivably get to KL without them knowing.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That's my thought too. My guess is she's going to be full jedi-faceless and smash a few unrelated people until something dramatic and predictable happens and she snaps out of it.

    I haven't used it much. I had some developer aspirations for it that I never executed on because I haven't cared enough. Using it has also been a bit of a hassle because of technical issues. It'd be nice if I could sit down, download 12 demo's and just cut through them. But instead I download...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Sometimes I feel like the benefit of a group switching to a more agile process is that it stops developers from fucking off too much. "Oh your 2 month task is now broken up into 3 day sprints where you announce what you're going to be working on in a standing meeting and then have to not show up...

    I thought it was fine. Stannis army was primarily made up of people who drank the Rhlorrian kool aid, everyone else saw the writing on the wall (get it?) and abandoned Stannis. So a bunch of zealots show up armed with only hope and faith and get wrekt. There wasn't a real battle there. The...

    So the khalasar that surrounded Daenarys, in the books it was ambiguous if they were going to give her a dothraki raping or make her their queen, and it was the same in the show too. That's Baby Rickon Stark

    You're also assuming Doran wasn't plotting that from the start and is already planning having his family hook up with Daenarys.

    If Myrcella dies I think Maggy's prophecy is fucked. Unless you say that 'gold is their crown' means they'll be blonde, which is reasonable.

    Also I loved Maisie's performance killing Trant. My wife remarked that the scene was kill billesque and I totally agree. The scene with Sexy Jesus dying for her sins was just okay. I thought having the corpse change faces a hundred times was silly and kind of ruined it.

    Amazing episode, surprised on a lot of pieces. Disappointed we didn't see Varys off Kevan. Also disappointed they didn't try to keep to Robert Strong's armor. The walk of shame was perfect and over the top. Lena Headley did amazing throughout it. I'm glad they didn't back down from...

    I think it'll be a cool experience but I don't know if it will be that popular. For most people sporting events are about the result rather than the action, and most people will choose to watch a show with their mates instead of having a better viewing experience. I do think that having a VR...

    My IP isn't listed anywhere there unless I missed it. I'll probably change the address range once I figure out the problem. I'm also trying a TPB torrent to test it, still no seeding.

    People who don't understand why Stannis burning Shireen was a big moment and only a possibility are the other side of the coin to people who don't understand how Stannis could've burnt Shireen. It's a classic setup of choice between two sides of a character. It could have gone either way and...
