Well, berserker literally means “bear shirt,” so I’d assume no on them being shirtless.... although shirt may have been a more broad term than it is now. The lack of helmets is nothing considerably new, there’s a reason why Star Wars had those “totally useless in the case of a hull breach, but hey you can see their…

While I take issue with some of the costumes, generally the armor or lack thereof (at least in terms of functional armor rather than costume stuff that wouldn’t do any good), I have to commend this show on not making everyone remarkably dirty. The norse were pretty big on hygiene, and even the nobles of the Christian…

This sounds like the kind of movie I’d watch once a year for every year to come. Even if it turned out terrible, how could it not still be glorious?

Pattern welding is even earlier, with Celtic people doing it in 2nd century AD.

That said, pattern welding isn’t really the reason why the Katana has the properties that it does; each step of the process is just a little bit different, from the type of crucible steel used, to the forging, and then the assembly process…

Regarding the perspective, sort-of? The main cameras are in the eyes (or eye, Sieg Zeon!) but there are other cameras elsewhere on the suit. I don’t think the exact perspective was ever really nailed down in those shows, as two suits locked in melee combat would either display the chest or head in the monitor....…

Not sure that “flex” belongs on any vehicle short of an articulated bus. I mean, fuck, flex is bad, yo!

Furthermore, she got married.... to Ramsay Bolton. One way or another, she was getting raped. Given that Sansa and Ramsay will be important characters going forward, it’s almost impossible for the event to NOT be on screen.

On another note, GoT is pretty remarkable as an action-ish series for its distinct lack of…

Not really, no. Ben Affleck, the “older” Batman, is 42.... Fillion is 44. He can totally be in the live-action film versions after Zack Snyder ruins the DC movie universe.

Worth noting that there’s also option crazy option C, he doesn’t have greyscale, but the grey plague. Basically the same thing, only much more communicable and fast-acting.

True, magic does screw things up a bit. Still, you’d figure that disease spread should correlate to how quickly a disease presents. Checking with the wiki, if this was a case of instant transmission, that’s another serious departure from the source material. Greyscale is supposed to be like leprosy, with numbness in…

Daenary’s has two basic issues: she has no legitimacy, and she has no ability to project serious power. Even her fairness is haphazard and ill-conceived.

The first is a complicated issue stemming from her capture of the city and mass execution of masters all while talking about equal rights and fairness. Worse yet,…

Quite an understatement there.

She’d probably would have had better results just burning the fucking cities to the ground, giving a speech about how their sins of slavery brought upon them a doom of “fire and blood,” then moving on somewhere else. I mean, fuck slaver’s bay. She’s not just trying to rule, she’s trying…

The greyscale element is a curious one; diseases do not manifest themselves that quickly. If it did, Shireen could never have survived.... which brings us around to the idea that he’s had greyscale for a while, at least since he’s grabbed Tyrion. Who knows, he might end up getting cured. Wouldn’t be the first person…

Considering their name is Latin for “I roll,” they were probably aware. Then again, it seems nobody considered that their logo is incapable of actually rolling, so you never know.

Just being pedantic, but I feel the early part on the ancients conflates things a bit. Greek gods =/= planets in the way that the Roman gods do; this, of course, is a natural consequence of the Romans re-arranging their gods to be like the Greeks, but only more. This is why Mars (the former fertility god turned god of…

More like “Get Your Wife, who got you out of serving in Vietnam, to Sign Divorce Papers while She’s Agonizing With Cancer so you can Marry Your Mistress Simulator 2015.”

Gotta get it all in there, man.

Having only played the director’s cut, I have trouble connecting with many of the complaints people have with the game. While general critiques like the AI could be better are still valid, the game feels pretty solid with each section of the game connecting rather well.

As for the + mode, it’s beyond funny to just go…

One of the wilder theories is that this is testing the waters to see if they’d be able to monetize mods to the point where they don’t launch AAA pc games at their current price-point. Imagine if Skyrim had been 35 dollars from the start and the modding scene had been monetized; if we assume the same level of sales and…

I recommend watching the livestream by the Skywind members that went up yesterday, it’s quite an interesting set of perspectives on why this whole thing will turn out to be utter shit.

For example, who’s responsible if things go bad? Is the modder the only one with liability? Surely Valve and the Publisher/Dev have…
