My money’s on: wasting away in some Homan Square-type black site

“They could’ve done WAY better with casting the lead”

I can not see them having a chance of maintaining a majority in any forum by alienating 50% of the voting population.

Another thing: Gear Loadouts. I really thought they’d incorporate this simple thing that has already been done by 3rd party web apps. Let players save specific loadouts. You have a stylish, finely tuned Warlock with all the right void perks, but your fireteam would have a much easier time with the prestige strike if…

Another hurdle is you have to reconcile the terms and conditions for both online communities, as well as the feature disparities. XBL and PSN are similar, but there are some crucial differences. How would a PSN player find their Xbox friend and invite them to the fireteam? Can they voice chat with one another? It’s…

That would require actual servers. Destiny PvP is still mainly peer-to-peer.

Waiting for the game to go on sale? Do people who haven’t even purchased the game really count as part of the userbase?

I have enough faith in Tarantino not to just crap out a “Trek characters doing gangster-ass shit in space” script, which sounds like a low-effort SNL joke. As for the Trek universe, I’ve never understood the claim that Star Trek is a “hopeful view of humanity’s future” where we’ve “overcome the big problems” of the…

Do people really think Paramount is going to sign off on a gory, profanity-laced, R-rated Trek? Tarantino would not be where he is today if squibs and f-bombs were all he had in his toolkit. He knows how to make solidly entertaining genre movies. If this pans out, I think it could easily surpass the previous three.

If people who believe in bitcoin as a currency use it strictly as a currency they shouldn’t have much to be upset about, unless they used bitcoin to buy a Maserati or something. When people treat it like a commodity to be flipped for dollar profits is when the IRS’ ears perk up.

You Avengers ready for a thrashin’?

I’m actually glad they stuck with lesser-known but talented actors who fit the characters instead of relying on Snakes-on-a-Plane-style gimmickry just to please a small segment of players.

No. Right now no exchange or conversion service can handle a cash out of $400 million worth of bitcoin all at once. For a balance that big, it would have to be done piecemeal over a period of many months (possibly a year or two), you’d have to trust that whatever conversion service you went with was legit and not…

If things deteriorate to the point where the USD is rendered worthless, what makes you think the power grids and internet will be in good enough shape to handle the bitcoin economy?

I’m pretty germ-obsessive to the point where after washing my hands in the restaurant bathroom and, if necessary, using a paper towel to open the bathroom door, I make sure not to touch a sauce bottle or a menu with the same hand I’m using to eat the appetizer. I get sick very very rarely, while most of my…

It’s a private company making a business decision. Not a court of law.

Joffrey mentions Duncan the Tall in the scene where he’s leafing through the Book of Brothers and reading off the great deeds of past Kingsguards in order to belittle Jamie.

Yes, if you’re surrounded by assholes.

Sports are already broadcast at 60 fps so there’d be barely any discernible difference after disabling motion smoothing. The only difference would be those low-framerate highlight montages they sometimes show at the end of a big inning or scoring drive.

There is if you prefer flying in/out of JFK, or if you want to fly nonstop coast to coast without the hassle of a layover in MDW or Denver.
