Don't mean to be THAT guy but this is a Game of Thrones thread. Please stop bringing up American politics…oh wait…

What is wet may never cry.

The next logical step is, of course, to have fatalities as normal movies, and massacre-alities as the finishers wherein the character brutalizes at least 6 random characters from the roster. 10 minutes will be added to the Fight Clock obvs.

Imagine my surprise when I exited my fallout shelter and saw no blog entries or Op-eds re-imagining MKX as the definitive symbol of modern gaming culture and all its violent excess and how gamers are all just anti-social torture porn enthusiasts who have trouble distinguishing between reality and blah blah blah.
I…

I just really hope the devs take their sweet time with this next one. This kind of game demands special attention as to level design and enemy design. Typically devs will split members into teams to handle separate components of the game, but for a good Deus Ex game those individual teams need to be constantly…

Definitely enjoyed Human Revolution as well. I especially enjoyed the world building the devs did through newspaper articles, radio broadcasts, random dialogue, etc. It's those kind of touches that really get me deeply invested in a game. My one gripe concerns the boss battles. It's hard to explain but somehow they…

It's crazy to think I was yelling, "get rid of Carol!" a couple seasons back and now I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed her massive character arc. She is now one of my favorite characters.

I need more of these. One should be so lucky to look back at old arguments with their parents and sound like a halfway sensible human being. God only knows how much of a solipsistic asswipe I probably was way back when to the rents. Yikes.

Moan away to your heart's content. Just maybe not within hearing distance of Sasha.

I give the writers a lot of shit on this show, but the decision on what characters to follow each episode is one I don't fault them at. I agree that it was annoying that we didn't get updates on Maggie or Eugene, or Abraham, but the writers honestly have a tough call to make for each episode with who to include. Since…

In my opinion, having a character's traits and motivation bend to the whims of an ill-conceived story arc is probably the most unflattering and pungent thing a writing staff can do. I always pick up on it and I always shake my head at the screen. Story writing in large part should be a question of "where would these…

It could have been interesting had Nicholas provided a convincing and TRUE reasoning back in Alexandria. But since even he himself decided to lie about the circumstances it pretty much puts his and Glenn's decisions in a binary. Glenn was right. He was wrong. For a show full of so much grey area it is an interesting…

The abuse storyline and the Sasha PTSD have been handled very poorly. I would say I have come to expect more from The Walking Dead but the writers do seem to like swinging for the fences with certain storylines from time to time. Been a couple of misses recently.
If Tyreese had survived I fully expected him to open up…

The speed at which Carl and Katnis….er Enid (had to wiki the name, taking no credit for remembering that) ran into the fate-sealing confines of that tree was almost comical to me. "Oh crap zombies. What should we do Enid?" "Uhhhh…let's corner and confine ourselves and make sure to restrict our arm movements to ensure…

Somewhere out there, there's an early draft of the finale that involves Deanna's Husband walking Noah into a dark room, turning on the light, and revealing the schematics to a man-controlled robot. Deanna's husband looks over at Noah and says, "today, we are cancelling the apocalypse". *Fade to black*

Looks like Noah's fate hangs on the potential validity of my fan theory that this is all a VR simulation set up for Rick to see if he should be allowed to join Alexandria. Up til' now there was zero merit for this theory. Then I saw Eugene driving in a van playing dubstep… *fingers crossed*

Many thanks!!

So I'm pretty late to the discussion here and I don't want to revive it needlessly but I was wondering if you (Lord Lucan) could point me in the direction of some good foundational literature on the 'case for the rationality of religious belief by rigorously scrutinizing it…' If it is too difficult to choose any…

It's always been the most peculiar thing to see this "movement" in action. As if we aren't living in the 21st century. As if they aren't communicating their skepticism of science through the products of that very science. It kind of feels like having to argue the benefits of oxygen to a group of scuba divers 30 meters…

I found this movie to be pretty awful. My fondness for REC 1 is evident by the fact that I've stuck around for the 4th installment. I couldn't disagree more with the idea that this is a return to form. I know that the 'found footage' genre gets a lot of crap (and probably deservedly so) but I think it should not be…
