Fun fact. Stallone was offered the lead in "Beverly Hills Cop". He rewrote it, and it became "Cobra". After Eddie Murphy took the lead in BHC it became an action-comedy, and still pretty much defines the genre.

@Darth: I'm counting on gaming saving my ass on the other end of things. Once I get old and go to a nursing home, that's when my group is really going to get the campaigns rolling— unencumbered by jobs, spouses, children or encumbrance rules. And since activities that stimulate the brain have been shown to stave…

@Darth Weevil: If I could make friends I wouldn't have started playing D&D.

Someone mentioned Signs, which on the internet means I get to tell my theory as well, for no reason.

@Antichrist: If Dr. Venture says it's a fake, that's good enough for me.

My main complaint with the hobby is that I've been playing since the 6th grade and I barely have any magical powers at all.

I've also heard the theory that a lot of socially underdeveloped people (Asperger's before we were calling it Asperger's) are drawn to games because it's like social interaction, but there are a rigidly defined set of rules governing how characters interact and who comes out on top.

@Strongsad: "The Shield" is some amazing storytelling. Better than TWW? That's down to personal preference. "The Shield" is a master class in ratcheting up the tension. I would get a stomachache after most episodes. But they're two different animals. TWW would often leave me feeling uplifted and maybe a little…

Leo was in the room, because after Toby says "coup" Spencer nails the look of dawning realization. Schiff has a nice moment where it looks like he can't believe he just said it.

I'll be here for 5th season…
because, hell, I liked 5th season. But even if I didn't, "Bill Moves On" is one of the most touching, raw, and still funny responses to a tragedy that has ever aired. It reminds me of the story of my great-grandmother's funeral, which started with everyone crying and ended— as everyone…

Yeah, the thing that keeps me from being a 'shipper is Donna's samurai-like devotion; she basically lives for Josh, and Josh basically lives for work. I can't picture the two of them being married without Donna bringing him coffee every morning.

You know, there hasn't been a lot of Margaret love and that's a damn shame.

"It is certainly true that in today's society, no sweeping generalizations can be made."

Well, it's not terribly original but I think it wins points both for feeling and brevity. I'm inclined to give this one a "7".

1 round in which edition?

That's actually a good thing, because it means she's likely not rabid.

Damnit Streebeck, the grandma will be played by Betty White. I don't like it either, but it's the world we live in.

My problem was not the hurricane, but the claymore.
I mean, it would have clearly killed them both. It's been about ten years since I've handled a claymore or sat in on a class but it's basically a hunk of C4 (if memory serves) filled with ball bearings and shaped so that it's killzone extends very far in one…

It was Jason A, saying that it was his favorite George moment in the series. (Someone posted a link to the dvd extras on youtube, that's the only reason I know that.)

I was watching "Near Dark" with some friends at a coffee house about 17 years ago, and at the end when Thom Thompson is leaning over Adrian Pasar (I'm guessing on a lot of these names), one of my friends yells out, "I love my dead gay son." Funny then, funny now.
