    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They were dead before being killed. Doesn't count. ** EDIT ** I stand corrected, you do see 0.2s of the shadow of someone being killed in a vision. It's arguable if it counts.

    WarCraft (2016)

    Just saw this. The problems are two-fold: - Too much CGI, and it's of really uneven quality (some of the spell casting looks Uwe Boll level of game movie CGI) - Plot is very basic, without the slightest surprises (even if you don't know the Warcraft lore, most of it is telegraphied) It's...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Hmm, you're right, that wasn't what I understood initially from the article. I was left with the impression that GRRM had basically told them when Dany arrives with her army and wins, and the 3 main plot points not yet in the books they needed to put. But yea, they might have had more.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Ok, so Garrison v2, sans mine, garden and pond then? Do you mean anyone can harvest an herb even without herbalism, or anyone with herbalism, even skill 1, can harvest? I assume the latter, but you never know what insanity can come out of the team...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    That's mostly because it is counter-intuitive at multiple levels. But, as others pointed, we're equipped by evolution to make sense of life in the african savannah, not the core aspects of physics.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He's given them a general outlinebut only 3 special moments. So yea, Tyrion's dialog is entirely from them.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Apparently, the showrunners got 3 spoiling from Martin, Shireen's death, Hodor's origins, and the end of the series. So until then, we're in total improvisation mode, but the show will reconnect to the books at the very end of S8...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There's also his insistence about that being "the time for you to become me", in addition to his warning about being able to remain stuck in the past if you're not careful. Add the two together, sprinkle with the fact that the greenseer is incapable of moving (like... a broken spine?), and...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This episode 5 has him going in and out of his own (when the Night King marks him). The "might be stuck in here" could be a good explanation for the Three-Eyed Raven, who might be a warged Bran, who has possessed someone in the past, and lived all those years. Which is one of the way of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Initially, they said "we're going to do at least 8 seasons, maybe more" since they weren't bound by 7 books anymore. Then later, they backpedaled, and said that 7+8 would be about one and a half season.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Yea, they finally realized they cannot make that property work. They've tried, and tried, and failed. But the X-Men (as meh as it is) is probably going to make them loads of money, and as long as that train chugs, they're not letting go. Heck, letting X-Men go would probably mean letting...

    The Free Will Thread

    If you prefer a simple analogy consider the consciousness as an expression of brain processes, and decision making as an expression of brain processes. The brain process is a wave, the decision making a through, the consciousness a crest. Is the crest making the through? No, they're both part of...

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    You're not supposed to see this in the US until next week, right? Time to use some spoilage to cover actual content rather than just public info, then. Quick summary: It's not an awful or bad movie, it's just... not a good one either. X-Me? is a good way to express the result. Most of...

    Does this mean a new Infinity Stone? The Grandmaster was one of the original owners of one (although it was the Mind Stone, which is currently on Vision's forehead). They only have 4 movies left to add the 6th since Feige spoiled Time: Thor 3, GotG2, Black Panther or Spiderman, and neither...

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

    Kevin Feige has acknowledged it's close to impossible to use the shows to advance/affect the movies. That's why the Civil War doesn't even acknowledge the mass of Inhumans running around. I mean, if you want to introduce the Sokovian Accords to manage dangerous super-powered beings, you could...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    To be honest, it's also obvious enough. Three dragons, three riders. Unless Martin kills one before the big final showdown. The dragons might be smart (even if Tyrion is trying to convince himself when he says that in front of them), but if you want them used in warfare, better have a handler...

    Side note, the Frozen Arms are a much better deal than the 745 gear that you get on your level 3 garrison general vendor. He/She (He on horde, she on alliance) will happily sell you at 500g each a 745 armor or a 745 weapon.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's not a spoiler. It's one of the most popular fan theories around (and one that is yet to be confirmed... or infirmed as soon as the showrunners let Bran come back to that tower in EP3). I mean, since season 1, people have wondered about the "lapse in taste" from Ned, which was very out of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Magic. The book 1 event had her doing blood magic by sacrificing her own husband and a relatively powerful sorceress, which led to magic, which led to survival+egg hatching. That's GRRM saying this. That's a point where the series and books explicitly differ.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    No (not yet, at least). But the faceless are a mystically-inclined assassins guild, and they've been working on stripping her from her identity. So the potential plot twist is obvious. I mean, at one point, she's going to be back in the game...

    No. Camps were an answer to two very specific EQ features: contested spawn areas and hard risk penalties. The only reason you camped in EQ is because if your group moved away, there was a good chance that: 1) The place you would go to would have no mobs 2) If you decided to go back...

    It took me some time to get the right "spellcaster" look for my priest, thanks to that ridiculous wizard hat (which is a random BOE green of the whatever from level 38). However, without a wardrobe system, it was impossible to really play the dress-up game. GW2 is the best dress-up game (and...

    As usual, it's a matter of time. You can run with all 4 armor users if you want. Except that, every run, about 75% of the drops are going to be useless for transmog. Requiring you not only to be able to use the item, but to have that item as your "normal" gear expands the time required to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The book version has Tyrion having more elaborate strategic preparations and battle management; it's just that he doesn't have the resources to defend the city forever since the armies are out in campaign. He still forces Stannis to a standstill for hours, until the reinforcements show up. As...
