You're being sarcastic right?

not sure that's the best argument to convince people who have no use for science.

Ghenghis Khan?

Yeah Bethesda has been porting their games to console (sometimes poorly) for ages. I first got Morrowind on original Xbox and played the shit out of it, despite long load times and not getting plug-ins/patches.

And thank the gods. I'm still bitter about getting cheated out of KOTOR 3.

I don't understand people who liked Fallout 3 better. New Vegas had a richer setting (more than two towns!), better developed characters, and a much more varied main quest. Plus it actually continued the story from the original games rather than just taking some of the more iconic Fallout elements and transplanting…

I didn't even know the AV Club had guest accounts.

Oh they've been pretty bad all along.

You realize that the Yellowstone magma chamber is literally miles deep, right? In that context, three inches a year actually is "relatively constant" and certainly not cause for concern. Also that information appears to be several years out of date. From Wikipedia:

Unlike O'Neal, who gets off on being under the influence at work.

Dang, Free Zune

I don't know, a lot of casual GoT fans seem pretty fake-geeky to me. Every time someone says they haven't read the books because they're tooooo loooong I'm like "psh, real nerds would plow through all five just to know what happens next." Also, the "too long" argument cracks me up because it's basically an unwitting…

Yeah a lot of this seems like a total asspull, but given what they had to work with it's not that surprising they'd start making things up.

No, he sailed East to get to Ashai (and likely stopped in Valyria on the way), but he may have come back by circumnavigating the world as he's said to have just shown up for the Kingsmoot without anyone even knowing he was in Westeros. The most interesting tidbit actually comes after the Kingsmoot though. In the first…

Nah, it's more likely that they just don't have the naval technology for a transoceanic voyage. If you look at the boats they have it's all cogs, galleys, and longboats with hardly a two-decker to be seen. Plus they don't appear to have discovered the compass.

How exactly would you support a dragon on a transoceanic voyage? Even if they could catch fish, I'm pretty sure they still need freshwater to live and you can't carry it on their backs because more weight to carry = more exertion = more water needed. It's unworkable.

Yeah, if I hear the "what if he dies?!?" thing one more time, I just might snap. It's seriously not cool to speculate on when someone is going to die, no matter how fat they are. Also, the Robert Jordan comparison is bullshit because that hack could have lived to 120 and he still would have been adding more subplots.

Not if you want to do them any justice. Even if you cut out Dorne, the Kingsmoot, and Brienne's stint as a cowboy, there's still a shitload of ground to cover. Dance with Dragons in particular is a long book with a much higher gamechanger/filler ratio than people give it credit for. It's just that those two books have…

He made at least the first one into the graphic novel, "The Hedge Knight." It's pretty fun, except the studio he brought in to do the coloring gives everything this awful digital gloss.

If anything, DWD feels like it didn't get cut off soon enough. There's a bunch of really dramatic cliffhangers two-thirds of the way through and then the rest of the book is just… other stuff.
