    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There's a shitton of weird stuff going on (and don't tell me the entire sequence didn't feel extremely "off"). So there's two hypothesis: either it's lazy showrunners and scriptwriting and Arya gets a free rez somehow, or it's a deliberate setup (by Arya and/or Jaqen) to trap/test the Waif. I...

    I do not believe in equality

    You're arguing different opportunities. You're talking about "legal" opportunity, by which everyone is allowed to succeed. Draegan is talking about "practical" opportunity, by which not everyone will be capable of achieving success. If the only opportunity that counted was the legal one, then...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    She also immediately rolled over the bridge when stabbed, and it felt absolutely odd. Without the following sequence where she's absolutely paranoid about people around her, it would look very much like a setup ("when are they going to come for me?" "oh there she is" "ok, let's make sure they...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I still do, because that'll bring me tons of crates with basic transmog stuff. It's 30mn per day that saps my will to do anything else; I'm actually looking forward to the patch where those crates will stop dropping and I'll probably do something with my main character instead of just doing the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Nope, specially since the campaign (if it's like the old garrison one) is going to take longer to finish anyway. Part 2 is supposed to be shorter (probably "complete 6th extra zone", "map 6th zone", "finish new campaign chapter").

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The main storyline quests for each zone; there's probably 10-15% of the quests you might be able to bypass. Pathfinder part 1 requires: - Loremaster (all 5 zones story completed; 4 leveling + Suramar at max level) - Explorer (all 5 zone maps explored) - Diplomat (all 6 PVE Legion factions...

    Friend of mine who isn't turned off by any form of early access tested, its main problems were: 1) A parody of UI from the 90s... 2) The controls that reset all the time

    It's steam, so you can (if I remember right) get a refund within 2 weeks if you played less than two hour. If you played more than 2, you're SOL.

    Not a big problem, you need to complete all quests in all 5 zones to unlock flying ("part 1"). You'll waste far more XP on the last 3 zones than the intro

    Gender and Race Equality

    Lots of people have tried to dismiss the pay gap, but the only times the pay gap disappear is when you're dealing with government "hardcoded" pay scales. Every time someone is allowed to decide on pay, females end up with lower rates, all other things considered. Including when it's a woman...

    Did the Waif get blind-drug training? Because if I was to guess, that's why Arya blew that candle.

    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...

    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.

    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...
