    Skyrim

    Vanilla Skyrim is fine (Much more so than oblivion). How much you'll enjoy Skyui is dependent on how much time you spend in your UI. Personally I hate dealing with game UIs so I don't do crafting, and I had to change my character choices just because the ui wouldn't let me switch weapons the way...

    Why hide the screenshots and rickshaw forums?

    It's really not complex, google bots seeing SS/RR = no ads = no website.

    Just report one of those posts. The moderation team will move them to the correct thread. No need to get ban-crazy because someone missed something.

    Why hide the screenshots and rickshaw forums?

    I'd be more likely to agree with you if I've ever found an image linked hosted by a community, visited that community and thought 'oh boy I should join this community.'. 100% of the time my thought process is 'I wonder if this community will let me hotlink this image or are they dicks and I have...

    Why hide the screenshots and rickshaw forums?

    SS/RR viewable without a posting account = no ad revenue. The bandwidth is a secondary reason. There's also some (naive) hope that some lurkers will lose their posting virginity and become posting members of the forum. I've got nothing against the faceless masses of lurkers but let's face it...

    Flu Outbreak

    I'd like to say that the reason I haven't gotten a flu shot is because I have some superior knowledge of viruses, sickness and immunization, but really I'm just lazy. Personal anecdote, the last time my work had a big push for 'get everyone flu shots!' where medical professionals came in and...

    Anonymous Hacks The Westboro Baptist Church: Posts All Their Personal Information

    To judge anon based on their previous actions is to judge a vigilante on the entirety of what vigilantes have done. Anon is more of a force or an idea than a discrete group of people.

    MMA Thread

    I enjoy seeing MMA after the fact but only to see the highlights of a fight. If I really want to see a fight I don't care if I avoid spoilers and watch it later, but not knowing the outcome makes a huge difference in combat sports. There's nothing like a combat sport's ability to change the game...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yep. Only problem I have with fiction that keeps magic magical is when they use it as a permanent deus ex machina. Somehow the solution to 'wow Stannis is fucked and really should just join his brother Renly' being solved by magic was more acceptable because it wasn't Jon Snow or Arya...

    Lance Armstrong To Confess?

    Well if anyone can create a book like that it's Armstrong. I doubt he'd do it though. He seems like a legacy kind of person and wouldn't make an honest book.

    The Science Video Thread

    That's 100% how I feel. I wish I was born 100 or 200 years from now. Reminds me of this: At least I can use my semi-depression about this to motivate myself on my work.

    Django Unchained

    I don't think his character is naive. I think at the start he's reserved, afraid and green and at the end he's reserved, aggressive and smart. Jamie Foxx did a good job playing the character but there wasn't much room for an actor in that character, he was just experiencing the world around...

    Yeah the 'don't give teachers the burden of having the choice to concealed carry' argument holds no water. Beef Supreme is grasping for straws here.

    Oh I think 100% of teachers who would conceal carry in a classroom would spend a significant amount of time every day fantasizing themselves shoot specific individuals in their classroom.

    Gun control

    I know that children bum rushing people with guns is a huge problem in today's society. Everytime I go to a gun show, a shooting range or go hunting I constantly see hordes of suicidal children charging at people holding guns.

    The Walking Dead

    They could make it easier on them if they weren't: 1. Living in a lush environment 2. 'surviving' where 99% of humans died leaving fresh supplies, ammunition etc for everyone. 3. fighting against the weakest zombies ever. The struggles they go through just seem so contrived and it's silly...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I wonder if they'll ever give a true explanation on why magic is returning or if it's going to be simply tied to one of the more powerful 'symptoms' of magic, ex: Daenarys being alive.

    SimCity

    I'd love to see a breakdown of all the games EA has with 'free' online services and how long they ran before shutting down the servers. I can't think of any big games with an artificial 'online only' requirement that have their servers shut down.

    That is a great kick and to pull it off at that angle with KO power requires so much dexterity. The Barboza kick is so much cleaner and less awkward though.

    SimCity

    The worst part was that it was extremely slow. Most of Sim City's processes were streamlined but importing cities was not, so when you wanted to perform a new iteration it was best to put a movie on or grab a book while you waited for the import to complete.

    I don't know about changing the city size in 4, but I do know that you could get a massive plot of land to have multiple cities, and the game sort of evolves into making multiple specialized cities iteratively. Ex: 1. Make a balanced city, save it. 2. Remove all the residential areas out of...
