    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    I'm sort of embarrassed to admit that I didn't hate Phantom Menace at first, or any of the prequels really. In my defense, I was only 17 when I saw Phantom Menace. To sort of quote my favorite author, 'My hatred of the prequels did not come upon me as a lightning bolt, to be sure, but slowly...

    The ethics of stealing video games

    I did pirate Witcher 2. Played it about 10 hours, decided I didn't like it, uninstalled, didn't buy a legit copy. I may pick it up next time it's 75% off just to support an independent studio, but I have no plans to 'demo' Witcher 3.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    I mean I certainly hope the Patriots and the NFLPA fucking destroy Goodell and the NFL on appeal, but that's because Goodell needs to be smacked the fuck down, not because I feel bad for the cheatriots.

    The ethics of stealing video games

    I haven't in a while, but that's mainly because there hasn't been anything I wanted to play. I absolutely was doing the 'demo' thing for a while, but I ended up buying probably 75% of the games I torrented. I know that it's theft, and I just don't give a damn. If a game comes out that I...

    The Animated GIF Thread

    Oh god. It played in super slo-mo the first time Chrome loaded the gif and you could see the pain in that chimpanzee looking mouth when her back hits the desk right before the gif cuts out. Dude probably got his ass beat for that but holy shit so worth it. Bunch of obnoxious morons. Don't...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    You know a dog that is attacking you will often jump up on you to try and bear you down right? Bringing its front legs right up to your stomach/chest level? Jesus Christ I'm not saying reach down to the fucking floor to grab his legs. Cramming your arm as far down his throat as you can isn't...

    The Flash

    While I am most certainly jaded, in my case nitpicking has nothing to do with being jaded. The more I like a show, the more likely I am to nitpick it. If I don't like a show, I don't spend my time thinking about it.

    May 2015 MMO on the Month Club - Dungeon and Dragons Online

    Yeah the problem with DC casters is that they're either useless or insanely powerful. If you can get your DCs high enough to reliably catch everyone in your Wail or Disco Ball, you trivialize content. If you can't get your DCs that high, you're damn near useless. There is no in-between. Now even...

    BOSTON marathon bombing verdict

    The context is that there is absolutely no context in which the constitution ceases to apply to American citizens at home? Dozekar is an American citizen. *edit* I mean I'd be all for one of the relatives of his victims kidnapping him en route to prison and torturing him to death very...

    Hearthstone

    Eh, I'd say most of the time you want cats, but keep in mind a bear survives a flamestrike + ping. A bear can also help when you don't have an immediate alex answer and they don't have enough spells in hand to burn you down without an alex hit. After the initial set of board clears, a bear...

    BOSTON marathon bombing verdict

    McVeigh's rushed (relatively speaking) execution was about as thoroughly Un-American as what we did to Saddam. This? I dunno, seems like a fucking circus. When even the parents of the dead victims are asking for him to get life without parole so they don't have to deal with the appeals process...

    Hearthstone

    I don't think mid druid is actually favored. I'd say it's even or slightly favored for the freeze mage. It's dependent on you getting a very aggressive draw and dealing as much damage to them as you can before they lock the board down with freezes and clears.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Well what helps a lot of us grind new heroes/prestige so fast is the fact that you get a synergy boost to earned xp for each hero you have leveled. So an extra 200% xp bonus on top of whatever event is going on makes xp really fly. The quickest way to build your synergy bonus is to level 4...

    My problem right now is that my bank is full of BoEs that probably aren't worth shit so I'm gonna have to give them away or vendor them just to have room to TR again. Got two more epic sagas to finish then I'm gonna TR. Not sure what to do for my next life though. Will have 2 pally and 1 barb...

    Maybe I remembered it wrong then. I've never had a chance to practice seeing as how I don't go around jumping into dog fights! I've just given it some thought lately since my parents dog has been acting out lately and I may have to try and convince them to have him put down. So I'm generally...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Forget eyes, grab their front paws and twist them inwards as hard as you can. Or if you're really lucky they'll have a collar on and you can use that for leverage. But the real problem with defending yourself against a pit bull that's already attacking you is the fact that they're heavy...

    The closest thing you might ever come to a spoiler would be if you watch crossover episodes out of order, it might take some drama out of the corresponding Flash episode, but aside from that yeah, no spoilers.

    Because unless you are absolutely geared to the gills and have all your EDs maxed for twists, Barbs aren't particularly OP in epic content? Blood Strength doesn't scale into epic levels, so unless you've got healing from twists (and the SP to actually use them), you're reliant on picking up...

    Arrow

    It will be interesting to see how they bring him back as the Arrow. I mean yeah Roy took the fall for him, but if he shows up as the Arrow again everyone will know it's Oliver Queen and he'll go to jail. So how the hell do they write themselves out of that corner?

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I can't imagine they would introduce Ms Marvel 4 years before her movie is due out, even if it was just a brief teaser showing her origins. She's also way too powerful to be on the show unless they make her a lot weaker in the MCU, and god would that disappoint me.

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    He actually has a pretty sweet monologue in Xmen TAS where after Cable attacks him in the future, he compares himself to Sisyphus because he's been battling mutants for thousands of years and yet hasn't truly won an enduring victory.

    Or that Fitz didn't notice that sound from him bumping into it was him opening it and reach over to close it again? I mean it could been a bit smoother, yeah, but you have to be trying pretty hard to find fault there.
