I feel badly for you Arch, my dog was killed by this a couple of years ago and it is not a pleasant way to go. The usual treatment for this sort of thing is administering subcutaneous fluids at home on a regular basis + diet changes. For my 30 lb dog I had to do it twice a day and it was not...

This was a good mod; it adds some actual races that you can choose from which makes things a bit fun but the game is still terribly flawed. Every sandbox game feels exactly the same; the same choices, same two heroes joining youevery single game, the AI always leaves you alone for hours on end...

If I had known that Leviathan Wakes was jointly written by Daniel Abraham under a pseudonym then I never would have picked it up and read it. Well played,. Anyway it started out alright but over the course of several hundred pages it turned into total drivel. The man is more interested in...

I read a few of his Mistborn books and couldn't really get into them and some of his other books felt like fairly generic fantasy fare but I thoroughly enjoyed Way of Kings. It's not that it is a flawless novel, it has several, but the drama of bridge four really drew me in and got me to give a...

Amen. I wish he had left WoT to rot in favor of this, his own story.

This might be alright... if it was a mini series but since that never seems to happen in the US it will probably end up being a whiny/angsty drudge over the course of 10+ episodes before anything interesting happens.

I wouldn't let them sway you as it is essentially the exact same game; the changes that they have made basically amount to a modest mod pack and a performance patch. Heroes aren't standing around in pens all over the map anymore and that's great... but you will always get the same drunk...

Spoiled in the trailer, M. Night is probably raging or rocking back and forth in a corner in the fetal position somewhere at this very moment. Going off of the trailer this movie looks a lot like Hatchet except survivor boy has a cyber suit/spear thing and the ship had a malfunction instead...

I agree and the CSI team banter is pretty irritating as well. The show definitely needs to focus more on Hannibal and his doings, even if it is just on his past. I know they need to show Wills progression toward a breaking point but I wish they would ditch the episodic formula (killer of the...

Yes... the trailer makes it look like another monster movie... in space! Hopefully it will be more than just a collection of dull shock/surprise scenes on a space backdrop. It doesn't look like it though, they have already established that they run into a hostile life form and everything goes...

Well, the question of Peggy's future role on the show has been resolved I think, there really wasn't much more that they could do with her without shifting the focus of the show. For now I like this new development. Marie's comments at the restaurant were gold and yes, Pete is a giant douche...

That was the end of the season? Now I know why people are disappointed, what a weak way to end things.

They sure did make a whole lot of fuss over nothing, the episode itself wasn't very interesting either. There is no graphic child violence of any sort being shown at all (so no worries), just talk and the usual corpses with Will's Cylon Crime Scene Time VisionT. The abridged version was...

A little bit but there is a point to it and it is good to gain a grasp of the power balance at home before they all mach off to war and start carving out parts of England and Ireland. I wonder how Ragnar's power & position will be affected by the flu? outbreak.

This show is even worse than True Blood but in a different way. It is incredibly boring and drawn out whereas True Blood is pretty stupid and zany yet somehow it manages to be entertaining from time to time (as long as you scene skip past certain characters). I am up to episode 8 and I just...

This. Hopefully they figured out last season that no one gives a damn about them.

Yes they are all abridged scenes from that episode tallying up to around half an episodes normal length. Here's to free will and being an adult... whoops.

Second episode was pretty bad and went about how I expected; pointless town drama with a tiny bit of the overarching threat of the week. The whole cop drama in a fictional setting bit has been over done lately and this setting is darned dull so far. As someone mentioned Babylon 5 above...

Probably and his exit line before the finger was something like oh I think I see a friend.

They seem really determined to kill off most of Ragnar's cool yet mostly silent companions. Does anyone actually like the priest? So far he just takes up time while looking put out by everything around him in every single scene. He's also completely devoid of any personality or screen...

I don't know, I just could not get into it at all. Plot wise nothing really happens outside of their little twists, which if you have seen enough movies were a little obvious.It just felt like I was watching some spliced together collage of ideas from other Sci Fi films but executed poorly...

Thanks for this, I'm on book two and enjoying it quite a bit. It is a fun story despite the frequently heavy handed descriptions of places and processes that will never be revisited in a meaningful way. But anyone that has read WoT should be well prepared and able to skim at need.

Does anyone besides axe feel that this server is completely hopeless? What are the main issues that you are experiencing? I'd like to know before I give playing on Sleeper any effort. Thanks

The versions that I read were all text and were each ~100 pages long. They were fun to read and I wish he would do more of them, it's refreshing to see Westeros at a different time without the threat of whatever impending all the time. As far as buying them in a collection I have no idea.

As far as SyyyFyyy programming goes this wasn't completely awful. Yes it was predictable and everything that happened in town could have not happened and no one would have cared but it was tolerable and fun in a campy sort of way. It is pretty ridiculous that there's advanced energy...

I recently read his Ringworld and The State series and found them to be enjoyable but they all seemed to follow the same basic structure and they all end a bit weak. They each begin with a person or group of people starting out on an adventure of some sort (usually against their will) followed...

I wish he had died instead of the old guy. It's a pity that they didn't build him up at all, it made his death kind of pointless and shrug worthy. Rollo in the river was hilarious.

I always considered it clear cut that he died at the end. Anyway, this is a great series with some really fun music as well.

I took it as: "We are done but I won't carry the shame of having a divorce, go live in your apartment." time will tell.

Before trying to start on this server I'd like to know if they are actually enforcing the 2 box maximum rule or if people are being allowed to run as many as they wish. Do boats work? Also whats the time table (if any) on artifact items like BFG, Beads and other toys? Thanks!

I kind of feel like playing EQ again also... have they finally gotten around to putting Iksar planar in? Or itemizing Chardok?

The main problem I see with this is people box camping item camps and not allowing anyone else to join them. Anyway whats the deal with manastones etc? Will they drop forever or is there a time limit?

I concede defeat to selective thread skimming.

The complaining/mocking had more to do with the fact that there were clearly mostly pythons and other harmless snakes in those shots doing the "killing". It was funny and a bit bewildering. Anyway I'm looking forward to next episode and yes the intro sequence is great.

My rather negative review: Joseph Kosinski must worship M. Night Shyamalan as this movie is just a series of easily (more or less) callable "twists" chained together one after another. There are plenty of other small to large things to complain about as well but mainly this just wasn't a...

You could write any summary that way but the point I was trying to make was that in this case nearly each of those chapters was a repeat of the one that came before it (useless bloat). They dealt with the same concerns more or less and consisted of little more than artificially prolonged...

I finally thought of something that hasn't been mentioned but was truly excellent and ranks up there with any of the best of all time but not of the last 20 years; I think everything that meets that criteria has already been mentioned anyway. The 1976 BBC adaptation of I, Claudius. It is a...

Tom Bombadil was a remarkably magical little man who lived near to the shire with a wondrous and beautiful lady who helped our erstwhile hobbits on the first leg of their epic adventure. The removal of him and the barrow wights from the first movie was a real let down. Comparing things like...

You are right, I did forget about the arena chapter and that was quite good. But really, everything else of any import can be easily summed up in a few sentences without reading through the excessively repetitive dithering/arguments at Mereen/Wall. But really do as you like, I don't know...

My advice on Dance: Read a summary of Jon and Danny's chapters except for their final POVs. It was such a huge letdown getting over halfway through the book and realizing that nope... nothing is really going to happen after all (and over half the book is devoted to it). Everything else is more...
