Nah Devil's backbone gets by on atmosphere and simple emotional beats. There isn't a terrible lot of plot or story there.

Nope. Changing the frame rate would make the footage either fast or slow motion. Depending on whether you made it higher or lower. Your TV isn't going to dynamically alter its frame rate to match the footage. Broadcast HD is 1080p at 30fps, Your TV is gonna show it at 30fps, if a chunk of footage in spontaneously…

Switches like this are relatively common in many homes. And I've seen them in quite a few offices too. Typically its something to do with the HVAC system. For example the one currently sitting in my basement is an emergency cut off for the furnace. It basically just cuts off the flow of fuel. Now the issue is if you…

I'm gonna tentatively go with Modell being right. But not for the relatively weak reason's Modell cites (or at least not for the most part). Nick certainly does fall on top of Glenn. But then there's the shot of Glenn supposedly getting eaten. It's pretty badly framed if Glenn is getting chewed on. Its awkwardly close…

I think its his mix for going on runs, rather than for running. So appropriately douchey "hard" music for trying (and failing) to be a bad ass in the post apocalypse. Rather than music to help keep pace during a pleasant jog.

Because Utah State can't. Something to do with Utah's fire arms laws, the public universities are not empowered to ban fire arms on their grounds or in any of their facilities or some such. Which is even stupider when you think about it.

I've not done much pen an paper, and found it boring when I did. But as the others have noted it seems its down the the DM. My bad experiences were largely down to piss poor performance by the guy leading the campaigns in question. But I did spend a lot of time gleefully listing in on campaigns run by a friend who's…

My brother is one of those too into sneakers types. And the pristine white sneaker is one of the particular things he's obsessive about. Apparently the secret is Windex, cleans them very well and stiffens the leather in a way other cleaning options don't. It also helps to have entirely too many pairs of sneakers and…

I really don't think there's much play to be had on the Rick being a Sheriff vs whatever rank she is. In part because you're talking about 2 different law enforcement structures. Sheriffs are (typically) elected county level officers with THE sheriff being the head of the department/sheriff's office. Everyone else…

Its effectively a European folklore/fairytale and classic animation inspired take on My Life in The Bush of Ghosts. With the same sort of absurdist humor and cuteness we see from things like Adventure Time, with ties to modern Halloween and Teen Angst.

Av Club writers seem pretty loose on these concepts. When I was still bothering to watch Outlander the habit of referring to the Scots Gaelic spoken by the highlanders as just "Gaelic" was setting my inner pedant on edge.

I was 100% sure she was doing a Penn-Dutch/Amish thing until she mentioned Baltimore.

I'm not sure. I live down the block from a farm. And though I drive a pickup truck, and was pretty upset that time my dog died, I don't remember ever kicking ass while waving the American flag.

If memory serves Japanese car companies tend to be entirely non-union as well. Though that's apparently because they way they run the factories some how clashes with the way Unions typically do things. There's been some scattered attempts to have Japanese manufacturers (Toyota particularly) "train" American companies…

Sadly a lot of the older "good" dino books (even from just a few years ago) are already heavily outdated. And a lot of what's out there just repackages older inaccuracies or sensationalizes ill supported pet theories. But if you poke around the active science blogs you'll probably be able to hit on what's actually…

Don't usually eat breakfast. Sometimes I'll have a bagel or a buttered roll but eating before 10 or 11 am causes my stomach to punch me in the face. Sunday's though I like a late breakfast. Usually some variation of a full Irish breakfast when I can get the requisite meats.

Best bet is to find a used one somewhere. The kind with a stainless steel case and cast iron cooking surface. The new ones like that are pretty over priced. Got a couple of good ones at thrift shops and yard sales. About 10 bucks a.piece.

Honestly the whole NF vs SF thing is retarded. I spent half of my child hood in Hampton Bays (Dad grew up there, we kept our filthy, cheap ass boat there). In terms of locals its all a single entity. You guys just got moneyed tourism much, much (like the fucking 20s) earlier than we did. But The North Fork is much…

I'm reasonably sure these guys do a bear minimum of research, and their prime inspiration seems to be fairly recent tv and film tropes rather than anything deeper. So they probably just figured Papa Legba is a voodoo guy and voodoo guys are black dudes in tuxedos with skull face paint that raise the dead.

I haven't seen the Cloud Atlas but its possible the cribbed the depiction from this guy:
