    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I actually thought this was going to happen during the scene...at least the Jon getting torched and nothing happening. And it would've made some sense of the undead dragon blasting little chunks of walls and Jon being okay. Alas, that wasn't to be.

    The memes are fast. Best part of the season.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, Jon was just an emo bitch who didn't think at all this season. The most egregious are Littlefinger and Varys. Littlefinger became a shell of a character once he got to Winterfell. Varys redeemed himself slightly in his last episode, but that was after several seasons of being neutered...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That one post a while back about writing like characters would act versus toward an end state (can't remember what the two styles were called) seems pretty on point. The characters since D&D took over are just chess pieces. They don't act like people would and are only used to move the story along.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, that one befuddled me. No dicks, and no women even if they did. And then they fucked off to some random island anyway. Which makes me wonder why they made Jon go to the wall after that ship left port. He could've been King of the North, no?

    Oh, and once again, why did the gate close? If there's still a giant hole in the wall...why? Seems like they're signalling the Free Men aren't welcome south of the wall. Ditto on why the Night's Watch even exists.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Same as above. Was the Night King even a threat if not for Bran? He would've been stuck behind the wall forever. Bran essentially unleashed him to menace the world...because he knew at the end he'd get to be king.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Forgot about Hodor. Bran let him die along with untold others (hundreds of thousands...millions?) all knowing it was to get him to the throne. Shit, he made Hodor braindead and then killed him so he could be king. Bran is by far the biggest villain of the story. Change my mind.

    I mean, they had a 30 second scene of Tyrion arranging chairs. Almost as bad as 5 chapters about turtle watching. And that ending montage that just went on...and on...and on...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Wow, what a shitshow of disappointment. Can't believe the spoilers were real. I will say the episode was actually decent all things considered until the Council of Who Gives a Fuck. The Dany death actually was shot pretty well. Feel bad for Peter Dinklage. He killed it this season. Can someone...

    I think the most likely scenario tonight is I make one final post about my thoughts on the episode, and then never visit the thread again.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's sad that rando's on the internet can make a shit scene so much better. It's still terrible motivation for her, but someone who's just making a meme who out-produces these people who are likely making millions for it? It's pathetic, really.

    Hadn't really considered the Yazuka games, but oddly I was looking at replaying Sleeping Dogs this morning, but this sounds like a better version. Would gladly take it! Thanks.

    Military Service

    I don't want to downplay what she did, but the way that reads to someone who was in the community, it tries to make things sound a lot cooler than they really are. If she were a man, no one would bat an eye at those credentials (outside of the education part, which is pretty impressive given...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Ironically, we've been saying this since the ADwD release and the first season started. Somehow he's done the impossible and survived until the conclusion of the story. And he's seen how poorly it's been received. Even if he had both of the final books completed, my bet would be he'd say fuck...

    What are the odds that with how poorly received this ending has been, he just decides to never finish? I feel like pretty high.

    Finally caught up with the last three weeks as I wasn't around to watch, but I'm a few dozen pages behind. Lots of bitching about Cersei being awful, but I swear after reading books 4 and 5 she had a lot of redemption (after we got some Cersei chapters). Maybe people are just attributing her...

    Survivor

    Ugh, what a terrible finish to the season. Devens was fucking amazing. Chris really did play the best move possible. It was make fire for the win, or someone else wins. I will say Lauren is a fucking smokeshow. Looking forward to seeing Devens on another season, which is almost guaranteed at...

    That used to piss me off when I lived in Kentucky. It'd be a warning if there was any landing in the entire county. County is just way too large for everyone to panic about.

    Easy answerr is that it takes time for the military to deploy. We could scramble some jets if it's decently close by, but that's about it.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Saw it last night. Somehow I completely missed the girl power scene. Like, I saw it, but didn't even notice it was all female characters. It might have been that I was distracted by the moth chick who doesn't really do anything. Anyway, my 12 year old niece lost her shit. Which I found...

    It's one of those things again, we're starved for time and complain about how they can't fit shit in, but we waste a scene with some little girl who wants to fight and gets convinced not to? What the fuck is that? Only redeeming part was the shit with Tormund was fucking hilarious.

    The Division 2

    The problem is it's almost impossible to farm for any specific build. There's just too many different layers of RNG on any particular item. And worse, they've been making all kinds of drastic changes lately. With only 150 stash slots, how could anyone even remotely hope to save up items that...

    The Division 2

    Could be worse, I got a fucking Airaldi backpack blueprint. Honestly, I don't even understand the point of crafting in this game. Outside of mods and exotics, it's all wasted. I've got to imagine whoever went through the trouble of coding all that has to feel shitty.

    The Division 2

    I guess the part that irritates me is that at release, the game was great. But every decision since has made the game less fun. Had they just kept shit similar to WT4, and fixed skill power, I don't think many people would be complaining.

    The Division 2

    The crazy part is that apparently streamers and the like have a ton of influence on the devs, and yet this video was posted just a few days ago. The PVP in this game is garbage. And based on how the game operates, it will never be fun. The character movement is just too stiff. That's why I...

    The Division 2

    Haven't played since Sunday. The part that tells me the game is fucked up is I took advantage of two bugs in the last couple weeks (the unlimited loot from bounty relog, and infinite Snitch bounties), and in both cases stopped doing them because the loot was still so shitty. Like, abusing bugs...

    2018-19 NHL Season Thread - Caps were not suck last year edition

    Man, two sweeps. Fucking crazy. And while the Caps didnt lose in quite as depressing a way, I only just recently (about a year ago, in fact) got over the Caps having dominant President's Trophy seasons only for an early exit.

    The Dirt (2019)

    Saw this today. I think I may have actually enjoyed it more than Bohemian Rhapsody. It was a lot grittier, and that's what I want from my rock superstar movie. And the crazy part is I'm sure this depiction was still tame. Edit: Also, holy shit, the guy who played Tommy Lee is Machine Gun Kelly?

    Yeah, I spent maybe 4 hours playing tonight, half of it doing infinite bounties (glitch to get 15 bounties), and didn't get a single piece of gear that rolled anything worthwhile. I want to say it was nothing GS500 with good talents, but it was literally zilch with worthwhile stats/talents...
