The Celts were making swords by braiding metal strips together for decorative purposes, and were doing it two milenia before the Japanese.

I still have to agree with Archer’s take on BvS. heh

Fine, fine, but what we really need is a “The Blade Itself”-series, preferably on HBO. Joe Abercrombie twists expectations in ways even Martin hasn’t thought of.

Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk’s Con Man...

Word, bitch, Phantoms like a motherfucker!

Word bitch , phantoms like a motherfucker!

I WAS THE BOMB IN PHANTOMS, YO.

“he survived cannon shots to the face, decapitation and various other horrendous deaths on the battlefield,”

Gotrek and Felix! Mortal enemies of the Great Grey Seer Thanquol, Mightiest and Wisest of All Skaven Who Would Surely Have Conquered the World By Now If Not for the Duo and His Incompetent Allies! Gotrek the most/least successul Slayer of all time. All he wants to do is die in glorious combat but unfortunately he is…

As a fan of Fallout 1 & 2 who also found Fallout 3’s story to be kind of weirdly at odds, all of this makes me realize more and more that Fallout New Vegas is the true sequel to 1 & 2’s story. (With copious amounts of leftover material from Van Buren)

FIFA prides itself on being waaaaay beyond the pale.

Spider Jerusalem like a motherfucker.

Mae Whitman played her in the original and is still a working actress having recently starred in The Duff and on Parenthood. That they went out of their way to get everyone back that they could—-even including a character we saw fucking die—-but her just stinks to high heaven. And it didn’t go unnoticed. There have…

He’s still a massive dickbag for recasting the president’s daughter as a skinny blonde.

We’ll find out he died of lung cancer just from smoking the 2 cigars in the first movie.

Ten bucks says Randy Quaid haunts the set as a sort of low rent Phantom of the Opera.

I’ve read multiple books, especially of the self-published variety of late, where armies can be counted in hundreds, not thousands, of soldiers and…
