I feel like the first game's problem was almost entirely about expectations. He was talking about selling us a Ferrari and what we got was a very nice family sedan. Fable was a good game if you never read anything about it prior to its release. Fable 2 was also a a fairly decent game, but it certainly wasn't any…

You guys pointing out that she could have been nicer about it are missing the point. Yes, she could have been less harsh in her wording, but she didn't owe him that. In fact, I think she did him a favor by laying down three paragraphs of pure fucking gospel. If he actually took her words to heart, he might actually…

I haven't read that, and now I'm gonna have to. I'm invested in the main series though, and I just don't want to discourage Martin from keeping his eye on the damned ball.

Yeah but they aren't main characters in this series. True, they sound like great reads. But don't go telling Martin that, he'll take a four year hiatus from this series to write those books.

The thing with Daenerys is, she's got her moments of awesome. The character is great, she's just suffered from Martin having written into a boring situation. I do have faith that her true awesomeness is still to come. That's if Martin doesn't have her raped and strangled to death or have one of her dragons eat her…

Close. The top is the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel and the bottom one is the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge Tunnel. We are lousy with bridge tunnels.

Totally

I wish our tunnels were purty like the ones posted here. Our tunnels were designed by people who have apparently never felt emotions before.

As far as I'm concerned, these are impossible to spot at this resolution. Even after seeing the pics in the guardian article that circles their locations.

I think a lot of commenters here are confusing the phrase "worst game ever player" with "most disappointing game ever played". A few other commenters seem to have fallen into the trap of believing that any contrary opinion is automatically a good one. Skyrim was not, by any reasonable definition, a bad game. Neither…

It is not victim blaming to suggest that women should take their personal safety into account when travelling, well anywhere, really. It is shameful and disgusting to me, as a man, that women should feel it necessary to take steps to protect themselves. Whether that be checking travel advisories or deciding to carry a…

As an American, I think an American Doctor Who would just be kind of wrong. I know we have a history of co-opting shows from the BBC, I feel like Doctor Who is more than just a British show. It's a British cultural icon. Watching an American Doctor would make me feel way too 'merican. I do think there should be a…

I'm pretty excited for this. I loved Oblivion and Skyrim, but as far as I'm concerned, Morrowind is the best TES game hands down. I tell people this all the time, but the game looks pretty dated at this point and I can understand being turned off by it. Hopefully they will change some of the mechanics back to…

Man, Steve Summers is gonna be so pissed...

There is basically no way in hell that company would allow them to place a foreign object inside a running engine. That is too much money to risk for a short video, even if it is a commercial.

oh crap, I was so excited to share what I thought was a secret I completely missed the part of your post where you do exactly that. Sorry for getting my stupid all over your post.

This is exactly how I make my iced tea but you left out a crucial step. Right before the water boils add about a half teaspoon of baking soda to the water. It'll fizz and then disappear. This takes all the bitterness out of the tea and leaves it pleasantly smoov. At least try it, you'll be pleased.

I think the Oculus Rift itself has a huge potential market. I personally intend to buy one as soon as they (hopefully) become available to consumers. The treadmill thing... not so much. The lady made a good point in a rather stupid way. A lot of gamers are married to other gamers, but trying to convince a wife (or…

Embrace the suck is one of my favorites and it has helped me through a great deal of bullshit in my civilian life as well.

I had a squad leader who used to be 11b (previous injury forced him to reclass). He made us lube our weapons with graphite from mechanical pencils. I have no idea how well this works (I am, and will always be, a fucking pogue). But it was funny to see us all coloring in our bolts to a nice lead color.
