I'm watching the film now, to encourage me to finish the book. I'm like 80% through the book. The obsessive method of the narrative gets under my skin.

Look up to the skies and see

The thread you're posting in.

He should have cut them off long ago. Every time he bitched about how poorly he was being treated I expected him to cut them off. It didn't happen. They're terrible, but he had plenty of opportunities to exit.

Well I hope that's the case.

I really don't appreciate PAL/SHD being these catch-all classes for the servants of various gods at cross purposes. Paladins of Prexus channeling the power of Brell and vice versa is ridiculous. They use this middle ages monotheist crusader stereotype and toss it into a polytheist world. As a...

I'm still looking forward to EQN, but what they've shown is ~blah. Alpha footage is frequently unimpressive, and, afaik, it's not even in alpha yet. We'll see how it looks in a couple years.

Have you not noticed this happening? There is a ton of wannabe-nerd stuff in pop culture nowadays. Big Bang Theory is leading the charge. Betas is the same shit. We've seen slovenly "nerds" spamming their fingers across a keyboard in movies for two decades now. Every procedural has the sexy...

Late '04.

The Master is a person posting in the thread. He linked rings. I was referring to him. I have no idea who the anonymous faggot is.

Nobody wrote anything down before the printing press. And there weren't places that dealt exclusively with copying and translating previous books either. That all began after the printing press. /sarcasm The internet, radio, electricity, and all the complexities of modern medicine...

You did. Their life is not communal property. Their potential future contributions to others' lives are not owed. Unless either of those becomes true it is selfish to expect them to live in misery for anyone else's benefit. Because we, as a society, are retarded? Let evolution sort out the...

Looks pretty lame so far, but they've got a long way to go.

She better be way beyond hyper-nerd to wear anything master linked. That shit would get old pretty quick.

What the fuck is Salad Cream? Some terribly named british predecessor to a superior american product?

I don't see how more people being alive is some absolute moral victory. Are we trying to reach a high score? People's lives are their own to do with as they please. They don't belong to you.

Give the car that new suicide smell.

The assumption being that either of these tests are accurate reflections of intelligence. We still don't have a firm grasp on how to measure intelligence. Many high IQ people barely break even in the world. I am curious why reaction times are slower, but I don't buy that people are just...

Yep. It was way more fluid and entertaining to participate in combat in DA2.

Truly a sign of the end times.

His kids are adults. His life doesn't belong to them.

So true. I fucking hated nuns.

He's not a "random celebrity" to me. I was listening to some of his stand-up maybe an hour before I heard the news. I was like "dafuq?!". Dude was funny, and his observations about people were often true. Successful comedians seem to be smarter than average as a rule, and I really enjoy...

I've never had miracle whip.I need to see what the fuss is about. I fucking love mustard.

I didn't say that. By saying "my own" I was implying that your experiences are also meaningful to you. You can dial down the cunt a bit.

We didnt actually live in the caves. That's a misconception. They just held onto our presence better. I'm not out to get you. I've got my own meaningful experiences and frustrations with gender. You're not a unique snowflake.

I don't buy the selfish angle. Some people are just tired of living. It's selfish to expect them to continue just so you can have them in your life. All suicides are different. I don't know the guy. I wish he'd been a more content individual. I enjoyed his work, but that shit is up to...

Yea, this. I don't really look forward to Ford's performances much nowadays. I did like Morning Glory, but he didn't have to carry the whole film with his angry old man bit.

They should have given a firm release date "within the current century" to fuck with people.

I'm really hoping they've got their shit together for this. I'm a little frustrated with Bioware's lack of focus recently, but I've derived plenty of enjoyment from each of the ME/DA releases. That trailer doesn't really get me excited though. I'd like to see more gameplay woven in.

Well it's good to have this information I guess. Whether it's behavioral or not, the majority of men and women likely conform to the types studied, so it gives us some awareness of our society. I am hoping that we can find a way to separate fields where we are each strong in while still being...

Yea, I meant Ronan. We should have had more dialogue on Ronan's part. The scenes where he is choosing who to send after Star Lord and where he meets with Thanos are not sufficient. Every other scene is just childish "scary black assault rifle" intimidation shit.

I agree. I don't like origin stories. But I have basically nothing to go on for him being a douchebag. Redford's Hydra had goals that some people are going to agree with. Loki had motivations that people could support. The military general and his mutated captain in The Hulk had a very...

I agree with Malakriss that having a more interesting opponent is a strength. Loki and Hydra are well represented. But I found Ronan annoying and devoid of depth. They were fleshing out the relationship between the Thanos's "daughters", but it seems like more effort should have been applied...

Levels trivialize everything at the same pace. It's annoying. More of your progression should be specific to your experiences. Kill gnolls? Amazing gnoll killer. Wield swords? Expert sword wielder. Levels as we understand them should be the abstraction of our acquired proficiencies, rather...

What the fuck is up with your obsession with everyone's dick?

Edward Norton's Hulk was cool. I'm not sure why Stan Lee hated it so much.

SOE infamously equates difficulty with timesinks and RNG fails, so I'll wait and see what the release is so we can translate how they define their work.

Yea, that's not ironic. It's not even really funny. Women prove once again that they don't understand comedy. For that matter, "feminist" men are friendzone morons. I'm with Altaruk on this. You want to objectify me sexually in some stereotypical male environment? I'm cool with that...
