I don't understand the amusement to go to the no spoilers thread and try as hard as you can to appear to be speculating when you actually aren't. Let them have their fun.

When the Night's Watch found him they brought his body back to Castle Black, then it reanimated. So it kind of implied that they can't cross the Wall on their own power, they can be moved across. Think of it like vampires or some shit not being able to cross a threshold without being invited or...

I imagine its because if you leave a corpse out, or just bury it. The WW can animate it. As seen by the skeletons outside the Children of the Forest's cave.

I think the wall stops their Wights from passing it. Not the WW themselves. I mean, if the WW cant pass the wall, you wouldn't need an order (10,000 strong most the time) to guard the stupid thing. The first wight in the book was able to attempt and kill Lord Commander Mormont in Castle Black...

Well they were an afterthought in the books as well. Its been discussed in here how GRRM has kind of written himself into a corner about it.

The problem with the scene isn't that that they audience (show only) is supposed to think they are pit fighters. It is that they had that entire sub plot exposing the Sons of the Harpy as being poor assholes who hated being equal to slaves. Now, the one guy they caught doesn't represent the...

The scene totally cheapened the Unsullied. Who, even within the context of the show, were built up as the "ultimate" warrior. Losing to a bunch of thugs that have already been established as masked, one step above slaves, servant idiots with absolutely no training. Relying solely on attacking...

So I just cheked POF in the Austin area and holy shit. I didn't think I'd have any use for it... and I was right. POF seems to be used for DateAChristian.com in the Austin area. Which is fine, if the vast majority weren't late 20's, want kids, and only ever had a relationship that lasted <1...

Lightbomb makes Priest so versatile and deadly. I love playing 2x Lightbomb/Holy Nova/Deathlord. It does pretty well against most decks, even face hunter.

My strategy has been to message whoever I find interesting then put it out of mind completely. There is absolutely no reason to invest anything into it. If they appear (key word in the online game is "appear" to be) to be really interesting, I'll follow up a few days later. Then call it quits if...

I plan on entering what I call "semi-retirement" within the next five years or so. Six month IT contracts and six months of my silly side job that I love. Its going to be awesome. Assuming I can pull it off as I want.

I grew up in Southern Oregon on the rural coast in a town called Coos Bay. Its quite remote and 4+ hours from PDX. But if you're all about nature and outdoors its quite awesome and not too much foot-traffic when compared to Eugene and the other major outdoors spots. But I highly recommend it, as...

Just read Ready Player One and I found it quite enjoyable. The entire absurdity of the scene in the "dungeon" just about had me in tears. I re-read The Great Book of BASE as it is relevant to my personal interests. Its also incredibly interesting and I highly recommend it to everyone who is...

Just read this. The author China Mieville is incredibly imaginative. To the point of which I didn't like some of his other books for having too many weirdass characters (mosquito people, cactus, people, etc, etc) that just makes it unrelatable and uninteresting to me. But this is a hard-sci...

I'm definitely with Phrazael on this one. Equality in income isn't that important. Other traits like being financially competent (despite income level) are far more important in the grand scheme of things. Being part of the money chase and climbing the corporate ladder is fucking AIDS. I hold it...

I am mildly skeptical as to how it actually links you. They seem to define a "third party connection" as someone who has a friend that has a friend in common with you. Which allows for nearly astronomical levels of separation since people in their 20's have an average of 500+ friends. You...

I use a Garmin Forerunner 310XT for all biking/running/triathlon related stuff. That being said, Garmin makes solid products. I am going to get a Vivoactive sometime in the future.

Since my recent breakup and move, I've been having a ton of success on Hinge. Which has been fun and distracting. I highly recommend it if you haven't tried it. But, being the math nerd that I am. Best success is in "liking" every single one you get and choosing from the ones that also like you...

Man I can't wait for this.

Sure but looking good and do whatever I want falls into this category right? And being a mildly hippy adventure tour guide isn't exactly working.

Yeah man, this wouldn't bother me. If I were able to work my side-job as a career full time and still live as I do I would be totally cool with it. Like I give a shit what model of Rolex others use to show me their status in life.

Randomly caught this. Damn is Constance Wu fucking hot.

Tickets to Kiev booked for July 4 - 19.

As much as I love Batman over Superman. It is obvious that a Superman who was not hesitant and had no restraint would instantly kill him without even trying. But that is the thing, much like in the Hush story. The only reason Bats ever has a chance is because Superman is always hesitant and...

Well, it had mildly interesting design/theme. Can't say much else about it that is positive.

Really can't imagine it'd be hard to turn people against Superman after he and his kind destroyed all of NYC or wherever the fuck they were.

The Batman Power Armor a la Return of the Dark Knight was awesome.

As much as I like the merged storylines it does kind of suck that there is seemingly no way for the ending to do the series justice. The entire beauty of the series undermining traditional fantasy tropes only to be resolved by a traditional fantasy trope is somewhat depressing. Darth Sansa...

Oh yeah dude. The douchebag Paladin that was so annoying I never ever took him in. The old grizzled ass Paladin was so much better. Having him and Kurgan fight about shit was hilarious. Its also hilarious to see Aerie bail because Kurgan is so nuts. I lost it when I thought about Jan Janssens...

Ser Sylas, Barristan is 66 in the books and where were you when he killed the shit out of Meereen's greatest Pit Fighter who was 40 years younger than he was? Along with his merry band of murderous squires killing off Yunkish goons.

After watching them. Holy fucking shit... But other than that I like the merging of certain storylines. I like how Oberyn's Paramour is taking up the plot with Aryana more or less. Since that shit was pretty cool anyway. Jaime and Bron will be fun as well.

I've never even considered taking time off of work for a video game or a tv series or anything like that. Didn't realize that was that common. Even here, especially as the board (people) has aged.

I'm rather impressed someone here was able to burn through the 13 hours of watching this the day it came out. How do you live man!?

I did not see a similar thread. But I'm pretty into bike races, foot races and especially triathlons. As the season is starting for these events around the USA with summer approaching. I thought I'd start a thread for any other race-running-endurance sports enthusiasts. Also helps to alleviate...

I'm actually enjoying this show a lot. The other Revenant (I like this term more than zombie) creating a kind of criminal organization of other Revenants is quite interesting. Crime solving shenanigans not so much.

Speaking of such things. Finished moving to my new place yesterday. SO IT BEGINS. No-Contact in full swing. Time to find some casual bullshit flings to occupy my time.

Well, something tells me they're going to do something to Druids. Complete bullshit that they can do nearly 20 damage when they start with an empty board. Blizzard has a history of not liking such thigns (IE, Miracle Rogue, OTK Warrior). I just lost the longest game vs a Druid like that. I was...
