    The Christmas Haul Thread

    Got $2500.00 Which will go partially towards a new T.V. and paying down the car. Cash just works so much better.

    That is mesmerizing. A person could just stare at that and fall into a deep trance.

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    Having watched this movie a few times now, I think it is very close to the movie of the year for me. In fact I honestly cannot think of any movie that was better. I enjoyed the Hobbit and the 2nd Thor movie but not as much as this story. The 1st movie was not as good, but it takes having...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    This post was a few pages back.. So if you have not played the game in a while because of all the sync issues, now would be a descent time to retry the game. There are still a few bugged cards, but they are releasing new ones every patch and fixing older ones. I have completed many games this...

    Yes, spoken like a lawyer A visionary would take the time machine forward to a point where science had learned how to modify the human body to become immortal and without bounds thus negating any need for money.

    MMO Glitches / Sploits

    My favorite EQ exploit by far was the Beastlord one. When the class was first introduced, a player had to use a spell to level thier pet. It was tedious but it came with a fantastic exploit. There were two items at the time that had basic charm spells that any player could use. One was fairly...

    So my 8 year old projection T.V. is doing the Red/Blue/Green thing now. I am pretty sure it is a chip since that was the problem last time. Since repairing it would cost 300ish, I am thinking it is time to upgrade. I have a few questions. 1. My room is well lit during the day and I would like...

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

    I wonder what would happen to the ratings if the word "Marvel" was completely removed from the reality of this show. Would people continue watching a show based on how it was presented in the first season if it had nothing to do with the Marvel Universe. Everyone keeps mentioning the idea that...

    The Hobbit

    It would have added the element that Smaug would have used more of his "Vision" to search for the "invisible" Bilbo, than snaking around the whole place. I am fine with how they did it, but it is not true to source material and I am not sure why they chose to rework that part of it. I guess...

    The Hobbit

    Now that I think about it, yes they made Smaug a Wyvern. Odd direction to go with it, but I guess it is easier for him to snake around in that form. Also, they only showed Smaug's eyes light up when they initially opened. For some reason I remember Smaug using the lit eyes to try and find the...

    Common movie behaviors that never happen in real life

    Either you have been in that situation enough times that you would be able to handle your fear as to not run once given the opportunity, or you are full of shit and have no clue what so ever about how you would handle yourself.

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

    I think I know why I am on the fence about this show even at this stage. Have they had an episode where somebody did not cry yet?? I have no problem with feelings and such, but it seems like they are going by some sort of emotional chart that states that every show must run through all the...

    Common movie behaviors that never happen in real life

    Having wings has more to do with technological advancement than anything else. It helps to have Wings if your spacecraft has to enter an atmosphere of a planet and thus a gravitational field. If you are the Borg though, you most likely have a device that creates an anti-gravity field around your...

    The Hobbit

    I found that when I watched the first movie a second time that it actually got better. Part of the problem with the first movie is that you get introduced to so many characters that it takes times to enjoy them. Watching the movie a second time gave me a chance to revisit things I missed because...

    Godzilla (2014)

    The scene showing the crushed train gives me hope for this movie. Showing the effects of something that enormous walking through a city is why I watch these movies. Yes it defies gravity and all, but movies are meant to be about the imagination. Imagining something that large crushing a path...

    Buying a car?

    So I suck at linking pictures. Yahoo(Advertisements) has pictures of the 2015 Mustang. Do not like the "New" European look. The main reason they will sell it is due to finally putting an independent rear suspension on it. They honestly could have done it with the current style but I guess they...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    I have a question that might fit this subject. I have a laptop computer that I want to watch Netflix..etc on. I am at work though and thus do not want to use their internet as it is monitored. My cell phone has 4g wifi, but it only goes to 2.5 gig worth of memory before it slows way down. That...

    CFB 2013-2014

    Well at least Georgia won. So, I watched the entire Alabama vs Auburn game with a friend of mine who went to Alabama and thus of course heavily roots for them. There were some very interesting referee calls in this game that made me wonder if they had a super secret camera they used for...

    Black Friday 2013

    Kind of disappointing this year. I really just want to see the animals out right attack each other. Pull some machetes and chainsaws out and just go for it. I think Black Fridays will always have an appeal but I would not be surprised to see the market decrease as more and more people become...

    Yes you can be almost guaranteed that a moment will come that involves either just Coulson or the entire team being around her when the bracelet is removed. It will show that the team once again trusts her and she is free to roam her pen again. Best case scenario : She dies and then Coulson...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Not really. They are in holiday mode this week. If you want to try it though, you can become a slacker backer and within 72 hours you should be in the alpha. They did mention the holidays will slow that process down a bit for this week though. Now that they have let in all the backers, I am...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Look at the first page of this post, never mind the subject having been discussed on the FoH boards. Realize that the bitcoin literally made millionaires if you owned more than 2000+ of them say 1.5 years ago and cashed them in now. Really is eerie how fast they appreciated in value.

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

    I am not saying lets have super heroes every episode, but at least have a super hero show up once in a while. This last episode made me cry at its stupidity. " Did we crash?" Really? REALLY???? You would fucking know a plane went down. Not one, but two people in this episode were not...

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    Shame since the movie improves as it goes along. I actually liked the movie for the most part. It had its moments of teenage angst but the story is solid enough. It was certainly better than the first movie. I am curious to see how the revolution resolves. Based on this year's movie releases, I...

    Almost Human

    It is nice to see a show that uses a generous amount of special effects while not over doing it. The acting is very well done, as is the dialogue. Karl Urban makes the show but his partner does a great job as well. Definitely will be watching this show as it seems to have a lot of promise. The...

    What is the Best first episode?

    Since it was not mentioned, I will add "Heroes" to the list. The music in that show was incredible and not knowing initially how the story would play out added to my desire to keep watching. It is a shame it went down hill after season one.

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

    They need to start bringing in actual heroes soon. It almost feels like I am watching a show about a group of people roleplaying in a world of super heroes, as opposed to actually being in a world of super heroes. I was afraid that the show just could not be epic enough and it seems after this...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Going to hold off playing for a bit. I am expecting a lot of issues until they iron out the load. I am curious though as to which cards are getting fixed and the 10 new ones coming out for the next patch later this week.

    Black Friday 2013

    That video is a sad commentary on human life. The deals might be good, but is it really worth being reduced to an animal state? The scary thing is a lot of those people love the environment, regardless of the deals. It gives legal right to push, shove, and in cases out right stampede the person...

    American Horror Story: Coven

    The baby scene was interesting. On one side it seems like a scene that just does not fit into the story at all. Then I remembered that the baby was a girl. Maybe it was a future witch she brought back? The chainsaw was just funny. It worked well enough. I am growing concerned that witches...

    If the AI is playing the mana elfs he will always tap them for mana regardless of the situation. AI is better than it was, but still needs some work.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    I agree that not having dual shards of any kind hurts the ability to make a dual color deck. Mono color is the way to go for reliability, but often times two colors have more great permanents to work with. I have resolved myself to adding '' Secret Laboratory" as a two/three of to every deck I...

    MTG thread

    That is the only major problem I see with online play. If a system crashes you are pretty much out of luck. If something happened in a store that prevented play, the owner would at least try to make up for it some how. In an online situation, the players are just shit out of luck unless it is a...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    I am waiting a few days before I try to play again. Seems when they open to new people it revives the priority bug. Is odd how server stability has such a large effect on that portion of the game. 3000 people honestly should not be that bad on their servers. But given how slow they are patching...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    I enjoy the game a lot. I just hope their patches get better and better. Just seems like a lot of bugs that have been posted are not being dealt with in any kind of timely manner. If the whole set was playable, I would not be as concerned about this, but considering there are many cards still...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Is it me, or does it seem like their patches are pretty small given the time involved? At this rate the game will be ready sometime in 2015. They have so many issues with the way cards are currently playing. I know the priority bug is a priority, but certainly they also have people working...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yeah, this game has quite a few bugs going for it. I will say though that the game is fun as hell to play if you get through the lockups and bugs. I played yesterday morning and 4 hours went by like it was 30 minutes. Between me tweaking deck ideas and then draw-fishing the deck(Playing the AI)...

    Can you imagine how much better SG-1 could have been if it had been more gritty and R like? I hate how the human's ability to bleed out completely changes between a PG and an R rating. Also the color "Red" seems to influence the rating. It is ok for something to gush out if it not red. It is...
