    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    Okay here we go. This is how you do planet Hulk: Hulk gets banished from Earth in Avengers 2, ends up on Sakaar as a slave. Sakaar's king can be either the Red King or another more interesting villain instead. (It'd be hard to be less interesting than Ronan or Malekith.) Whomever is...

    I dunno what overkill even means. There's always settings you can turn up somewhere.

    Abandoning the reserve list would only be bad because they've said so many times that they wouldn't. It would be a trust violation. But from every other perspective it would be a massive boon to the game.

    Desktop Computers

    1) Do you have disposable income? 2) Do you like video games? If the answer to both of the above is yes, then it's pretty much ALWAYS time to build a new computer.

    Modern cards hold decent value despite the fact that they could be reprinted at any time.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    It's weird. BF4 is a way better game, but I have more fun playing Titanfall.

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    I don't think Edward Norton fit the style of the rest of the characters/actors' portrayals in the MCU. He's also a dick. Planet Hulk into World War Hulk would be amazing.

    An actual summer magic Wheel of Fortune is worth thousands of dollars. It'll look like a 4th edition card except it will have a 1994 copyright date on it. Revised cards don't have a copyright date on them. This is a summer magic Wheel of Fortune. This is a regular revised one. Note the...

    Dungeons & Dragons - New & Old

    I liked the battle length in 3E usually, 3.5 definitely. 3E fights sometime ended in 1 round because of poor balance. I like battlemats but not for every fight. If I ran a pathfinder or 3.5 game today I would limit myself to only 1 battlemat-worthy fight per session, maybe 2 in a rare...

    No, instead that they deserve to be subservient sex objects. That's so much better! (actually it's worse.)

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    EmDrive: Chinas radical new space drive (Wired UK) This does a pretty good job of explaining the physics. It doesn't violate quantum mechanics. It doesn't violate conservation of energy. So yeah, a hoverboard isn't really possible. But a spaceship drive is VERY possible.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Okay, so there's some kind of superconducting version of the resonant cavities that could produce static thrust.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It's basically an impulse drive from Star Trek. It converts energy into force. It still takes a big fucking reactor if you want to get a big fucking force out of it, but it wouldn't necessarily take a fusion reactor. Also keep in mind that most of physics breaks the laws of physics. The...

    I did say I was crazy. However, on your points, I do live out in the middle of the woods. You can't get any cell phone reception here, on good days sometimes I can get 1 bar. No digital OTA TV signals. It's pretty awesome, except you know, anytime there's a storm I go for a week without...

    Unless they introduce other time travelers (perhaps time travelling dinosaurs that breath fire) I don't see this being very interesting.

    Alternate 4th isn't Summer Magic. He knows what he has. Unfortunately, it's not worth a lot. You might be able to get 150 if you're very lucky, but those decks can go for as low as 40.

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    You could easily make a single solar system interesting with enough locales in it, or a cluster. You could also say that the mass relays that were never activated in this cycle didn't get destroyed, have a deep space expedition to find them, and have some previously unknown, pre-element...

    Actually pretty much the definition of feels. But as has been established in this thread: White male feels and anecdotes = facts, while everyone else need a fucking bibliography.

    And all of these are good reasons why you shouldn't let the hobbyist programmers dominate the early classes and chase other people out, regardless of gender. Those other people might actually make better programmers at the professional level. Having an early head start on the material doesn't...

    I don't have any hardware from my ISP. I currently own a DOCSIS 3 modem with a single connection, that goes to my PC and that's it. I have the option of leasing up to 2 additional IP addresses. I'm was thinking about buying a switch, assigning my main PC one of the IP addresses so I don't...

    Dungeons & Dragons - New & Old

    The problem was likely in making a game centered around human conflicts in an urban setting. You can't make every random NPC guard everywhere in the world level up with the players and all have max spot/listen and access to tons of detection spells. At one point I had an entire evil secret...

    The problem is that the ending basically destroys the ME universe and makes continuing the universe in any meaningful way nearly impossible.

    The multiplayer was surprisingly awesome. If they had actually made real missions with unique objectives it would have been a great game onto itself.

    Bullshit. I don't understand how this issue causes otherwise smart people to go into incredible depths of the most fundamental confirmation bias errors possible. Every time 1 non-white, non-male person gets given an opportunity they didn't "deserve" because they're non-white, non-male...

    I'm lost. Are we talking about actual games or real life? Because in real life there are certainly people who are advantaged at level 1 for a whole variety of reasons not related to individual ability.

    I remember watching some interview show Lexi Belle did, and she seems like she would be a cool chick to hang out with but I wouldn't want to lick her butthole because I've seen where it's been.

    Eh, sometimes you have to.

    Spend 40+ pages arguing that men and women have different brains. Then denies that having different brains look at the same problem has benefits. Fucking perfect.
