Well said, sir.

Funny how those episodes are connected. "Jose Chung's", "The Host" and "Humbug" remain some of my favorite episodes. You know, I've always wanted the Flukeman action figure.

Edmure would be presumably~SPOILER~shooting and missing his father's floating funeral pyre.

Why is there such a reliance on blue and yellow contrast on video game box art? I know that in this case, it can be justified that the blue is the sky, and the yellow represents the violence and turmoil that happens in the game. But others just do for no reason other than yellow and blue make a nice contrast.…

Yes. But my mind crosses GRRM and JRRT worlds and characters together more than It should.

Better to have seen it as a kid. It's nostalgic to watch, but not much else. As an adult, it would be a good idea to follow up watching it with the DVD special feature segment about how they did all of the cool practical effects. It really helps you appreciate the amount of love that went into the film's production.

I absolutely loved this game. In concept, in art direction, and in storytelling. It was fantastic. And the battle mechanics were unlike any other rpg I had ever played. Definitely one of my favorites.

My family relationships have been totally fucked. Without going into detail, I can say that it makes for awkward, and stressful encounters. I'm with you on this one. It doesn't make a person anti-social or anti-family just because they aren't exactly looking forward to traveling home for…

I absolutely agree with you. Well said.

I don't see how any of this is a problem. I like my personal space. I like not having to deal with the calamity of my noisy (not to mention growing) family. They are stressful people to spend time with. To me, it's just simple logic: if you get stressed out by something on a consistent basis, avoid it.

There's a lot of games that get developed in Canada. A lot of good games come out of Montreal. What the fuck are you talking about?

I agree. A new ST:TAS would be terrific. But I'm a sucker for anything Trek.

That book is like crack, man. Wait until you hit the 650-700 page mark. Shit really starts there and does not stop until the very last line of the epilogue. So good.

It's called protecting your investment.

I think everyone is forgetting that the UN and US helped re-form the state of Israel after WWII. It is American weapons that keep the Palestinian out of Israeli borders.

TL;DR Foundation=How to create an empire. Dune=How to create a God

(Both of which are true of our own reality. Religion is deep, strong and splintered. Science is in many ways followed religiously. It's the religion of empiricism.)

Well, having read at least the first three Foundation books, as well as the original 5 Dune books, I can say that there are definitely some parallels that you can draw. The difference, in the two, I suppose, is that Foundation is about a religion that gradually forms from the use of scientific prediction. Over time,…

Dune, anyone?
