    Marvel Universe stuff

    That's some nice cherry picking you did there! Deadwood is on HBO, subscription only, and it's been off the air foreight fucking years. The Wire: HBO, off the air forsix fucking years. True Detective: again, HBO, but you're right that it's awesome. Sopranos, gee, that's on HBO too, and has been...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    He sucked as Khan because Into Darkness was nothing more than a bunch "cool scenes" tied together with a nonsensical plot, written by a conspiracy theorist who chocked the script full of fan-servicing callbacks. The Hobbit movies are simply broken; it's a franchise with multiple personality...

    Lost Girl

    Apparently Ksenia Solo is going to have a reduced role for season 5 due to her being cast inTurn: Washington's Spieson AMC. So we get 16 episodes and less Kenzi. Not sure if Tamsin is going to be enough for me to continue watching.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Cumberbatch = Cumberbitches in the seats. He's got a pretty big international female fan club, and Marvel/Disney are banking that they're going to go watch him be a superhero. And they're right.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    There are a couple ways to get to the wine cellar in Skyhold. If you start by the stables in the courtyard you climb up the stairs to the big tower structure (where most of the mages hang out) which will take you into the kitchen. Exit the other side of the kitchen and take a right and you'll be...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Regarding the arcanist: As for cost of the game, I look it this way: If I were to go out and see a movie with the family, it'd probably cost me about $80. For TWO hours of entertainment. I'm only about 45 hours into DA:I, and I just got into act 2. Video games are insanely cheap forms of...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Best advice I got for this game came to me a bit too late. I was cruising Reddit and came acrossthis thread. I was so used to getting locked out of beginning areas in Bioware games that I figured I should finish up all the quests in the Hinterlands before I moved on, but apparently DA:I doesn't...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I'm like 25 hours into DA:I, and I just finished up the Hinterlands as far as I can tell. Currently level 10. I really wanted a new environment to play around in, so I figured I could at least try the level 12 stuff (dragon/rifts). Dragon was a no-go, but the rifts weren't so bad, except for...

    American Horror Story - Freak Show

    First episode was pretty good. FX totally ruined the big reveal on the two-headed Sarah Paulson with the promos for this season though.

    Anthony Bourdain Parts Uknown

    I've been a big fan of Anthony Bourdain for the last 5 or 6 years. I've seen a few of his shows over the years, but I wasn't a regular viewer until now. Netflix has the first two seasons of Parts Unknown, and they just added a single season of No Reservations within the last week or two, which...

    Star Wars Rebels

    The audio engineers on this series should all be fired. Every sound FX was ripped directly from the movies. It was so bad that I could tell exactly what movie and scene they ripped it from. It wasn't horrible for a pilot. Hopefully they'll push it more towards a teen audience instead of...

    Hey, I don't disagree, but fix the blame where it should be: Robert Orci.

    Boardwalk Empire

    Sally was Nucky's business friend with benefits. It's not like those two were going to be anything but associates that fucked occasionally. Funny about Margaret though; go back a dozen or so pages in this thread and everybody fucking hated her guts. Now she's on the upswing because she was in a...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    You can't blame an actor for doing the job that the director, producers, and writer hired him to do. That's like blaming Ryan Reynolds for Green Lantern.

    The Scribbler

    Just finished this. Not a bad flick, but not great either. I wouldn't really call it a mindfuck though, since I didn't really understand where the fuck the story was going until about 30 minutes from the end, which is where the low budget rears its head. Still, worth a watch to see Laurel Lance...

    Prometheus (Alien 0) - 1 Year Later

    Nope. This has been going around since Prometheus came out. It's been kept low-key because of the various Christian groups that would go ape-shit for Scott/FOX calling Jesus an alien. I mean, remember when the DaVinci Code came out and you had practically every Christian and Catholic group in...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    I've said it before, I'll say it again: The Reapers lost because the writers invented an impossible enemy to defeat, so instead of reducing their power they reduced their intelligence, banking on the fact that most people playing ME3 wouldn't remember what Vigil told players in ME1. Had the...

    EQ Never

    They didn't mention by how much an opposing faction could delay the founding of a city, did they? Imagine a server-wide effort by dark races to halt the progress of the completion of Felwithe. It could be sitting at 20% complete for weeks, months, or even years, as long as players and the...

    EQ Never

    Assuming the large cities are rallying calls, I doubt it'll be as simple as picking another spot since rallying calls are generated by the game, not players. More likely, if the Teir'dal presence gets too out of hand, the high elves, wood elves, and dwarves, along with any other "light" races...

    Yep, my bad. Haven't seen it in years. It doesn't refute my point though.

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    I never said any such thing. What I said was that almost all of Marvel's villains have been lame, so complaining about it now is redundant. This is how they do villains that have no potential for showing up in the franchise again. They keep them simple and boring because they're going to kill...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Ronan, in the movie, would have never married an alien. He was a Kree fundamentalist. Besides, the Kree were the ones that genetically engineered the Inhumans, so there's your tie to GotG right there. Not that I'm aware of. Red Skull wasn't absorbedintothe cube. If you go back and watch that...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    They made it clear that Ronan was a Kree fundamentalist, which is to say, a terrorist. Fundamentalists don't have depth, and they're one-dimensional by nature. Their whole purpose is to oppose something; in Ronan's case it was opposing peace between the Kree Empire and the Xandarians...

    The pilot was kinda slow, but it wasn't bad. Lots of blatant foreshadowing though. Like, really blatant.

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Well that's odd, since Luke had his hand cut off at Cloud City, which is in the atmosphere of a gas giant. Last I checked gravity doesn't launch things into space.

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Well, this isn't really the case. If you played ME3 without the extended cut DLC, then yeah, you might have that impression if you ended with the destroy choice. In fact it was one of the (several) reasons Bioware put out the extended cut DLC. If you finish the game with the EC DLC, then it...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    That wasn't a fan theory,that was what Drew Karpyshyn originally intended for the end of ME3. The problem is that that ending would have sucked even more than what we got. You'd end up with only two choices: Allow the Reapers to harvest humanity to save the universe, or deny them the harvest and...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    Geez, it's a movie based on a comic book! That should clue you in thatthe good guys are going to win. Sure, they might kill off a hero or two, for a little while, but the good guysalwayswin in the end. So that's not why you go to see the movie. You go to seehowthe good guys win. The bigger the...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Kai Leng was a character that never should have been introduced in the game series. He was fine as an antagonist in the books, because most people aren't going to bother with them, but shoehorning him into the last installment with no introduction or background seemed really fucking stupid to...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    It sounds like their "vision" is to make Landmark into a framework for players to build their own virtual environments/games. Sort of like Second Life, where you have plots of land and you can do pretty much whatever you want on those plots, whether it be a PvP arena, a PvE dungeon, or cyber sex...

    Yeah, those hands... They were like that in the Mass Effect games too. As for DA:O mods, there are tons. Last time I did a DA:O play through I installed theSacred Ashes modsfor Leliana and Morrigan so they looked more like they did inthat trailer. Then there's theQunari updateover at bioware...

    The turrets were another afterthought, but I never realized how many of them there were in ME3 until I finished a play-through a couple weeks back. Priority: Palaven Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists (Jacob's mission) Rannoch: Admiral Koris (has three turrets!) Priority: Rannoch (I'mma kill a...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    The ground stuff in ME1 was simply underdeveloped. They were going for the feel of ground exploration in the gameStarflight(which is where my avatar is from), but the way they implemented mineral deposits and enemies on planets meant that there was a lot of space between points of interest. I...

    Californication

    Well, I watched the finale last night. It wasn't great. It wasn't very funny. In fact, when it ended I assumed that it wasn't the series finale, since it didn't really seem like a finale. I assumed Becca's marriage would be the finale. That could have been series gold, right there. They could...
