It was an old narrative that Maeve used to be part of. Then she was reassigned to be the madam. Those memories were supposed to be forgotten and not part of her madam backstory.
As far as the story running without a guest to see or intervene, I suppose that makes Westworld more like Disney animatronics (the shows occur…

The first third (what I thought was) of Rage was okay, but then it seemed like the last two thirds must’ve been cut or rushed and there wasn’t much there. What should’ve been a 30 or 40-hour game ended up being much less. I got disappointed by the lack of content in the 2nd zone & quit playing. It deserved its crappy…

My fellow white males are the whiniest SOB’s who ever walked the earth. If there are a couple of non-white prominent characters or females who get to keep their pants on, it doesn’t mean that Geralt will be some alt-gendered trans. People need to chill the fugg out.

Yeah, the number of commercial breaks on USA, Syfy, and TBS shows are astounding. Even watching any of them on TiVo is a chore.

Have you ever seen Ran by Akira Kurosawa?

I see what you’re getting at. However, there are 2 racial components - 1) the in-world setting of the parks: how Delos treats cultural & historical materials used to create the parks and how the hosts relate to the guests and 2) how the producers of Westworld cast and represent these fictional worlds and characters.

I want unlicensed Calvin pissing on a cross.

Thick As a Brick is still one of my favorite albums. Otherwise, nothing to add to this discussion.

I found Boomer & killed the Peggies near him. How da fugg do I unlock his cage?
Also, I want to play co-op with my brother. Can I start a new character just to use with him (we each used one of our 3 available characters to do this in Ghost Recon Wildlands).

I gave up on Season 11 when they had the open on the stupid BS about the Moon landings being fake. I can take mostly take the horrible, stupid mythology of the show, but my late grandfather worked on the Lunar Lander. I felt silly being offended that the show would peddle in the Moon landing conspiracy, but I already…

Speaking of Rod, I loved his character. He was very much the embodiment of the old Eddie Murphy bit about black people going into a haunted house.

Ugh, not Bruce f’ing Wayne. What is with Hollywood & its penchant for work romances? I always hated the Fox-Mulder ‘ship’ BS in X-Files and every other work of art since then*. Men & women can work together, go through stress at work together, admire & respect each other all without having to bone at the end of the…

I watched the Stranger Things 2 post-season episode with Millie Bobby Brown and was floored by how mature and intelligent she seems. I think she’s going to do great stuff with her career. My wife was quick to quip that she hopes Millie Bobby Brown doesn’t morph into another Lindsay Lohan. I take responsibility for…

I don’t know if this was related to the same issue, but Harrisburg PA was included in the Ravens broadcast market. My guess as to NFL fandom in the area would be 50% Steelers, 45% Eagles, 5% Ravens (obviously neglecting all the asshole Cowboy fans). A 6-year old would be able to explain that few people in PA would…

Wait... J J Abrams is still around to fuck with Star Trek? I thought he was involved in Star Wars. Hasn’t his terrible storytelling already done enough damage to Star Trek?
I love Tarantino movies but his style of movies don’t fit well with Star Trek. Color me skeptical...

WTF does he even mean by “But that’s not science, that’s just a formula. There’s no difference between science and science fiction.” Where does he think the formula came from? I guess it just grew out of the book through spontaneous generation like how meat becomes maggots?

New Monarchy has the best shaders. I would like to trade the 10,000 hideous green shaders I have for just a few dozen New Monarchy shaders.

Penn State at OSU not a rivalry? I used to work with lots of PSU grads who’d beg to differ. All the Joe Pa-loving jerks I used to work with in Harrisburg would beg to differ. OSU is the only team that PSU plays on a regular basis that would qualify as a rival in my mind.
Speaking of PSU fans, I was in Hburg for ‘95 to…

Uggh, this administration completely ignores that the opioid epidemic is only partly fueled by illicit drugs. Opioids are one of the few classes of effective painkillers out there. Many of the people having issues with the drugs get the drugs prescribed by their doctors. Acting like everyone who OD’s or buys oxy or…

In transportation infrastructure, the pecking order of power from low to high is thus:
1) landowners, 2) business owners, 3) local agencies like the city or county, 4) state agencies, 5) feds, 6) God (if you believe) and then 7) railroads
