  1. Films of Wes Anderson

    Well, obviously you two are wrong and I'm right, but I wouldn't condescend to you by backing that up with anything.
  2. Films of Wes Anderson

    I liked the movie, but I would probably have liked it more if it had stayed contained to wacky stuff in the hotel and Fiennes' character. The movie has a lot of stuff that could have been cut easily. For me, personally, it would have been better without the prison plotline, a lot of the chases and especially the crossed keys thing. Because of all this it lost momentum after the half-way point IMO.
  3. Silicon Valley

    Hmm, really weird considering how normal the main characters in Office Space were.
  4. SolForge - Another free to play CCG

    Nah, I hear a lot more about the situation in Ukraine. Sorry.
  5. Feminism

    I laughed at this scene. It's completely absurd. How am I supposed to take these characters seriously from now on? They are just vehicles to deliver shock, nothing else has meaning.
  6. Marty O'Donnell got fired?!?

    Being terminated without cause is not the same thing as not knowing why they did it.
  7. I Can't Go For That (Game Series)

    Sweet baby Jesus, there are twenty two Call of Duty games?
  8. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Frozen Synapse for cheap until 21 April. For me it's 7€ for the complete pack. The main game is cheaper. Both include two copies with each purchase. This is a really good version of chess with bazookas and procedurally generated arenas. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/14855/
  9. I don't know, you can't play a modded multiplayer game of CiV, for example. You can see the panel discussion here:
  10. Ghost Recon Phantoms

    This is actually interesting. I haven't tried it, but in my experience all multiplayer shooters these days pretty much have mechanics that annoy me just as much as F2P, except I have to pay full price for them. Asking me to grind 50 hours in order to get the same tactical options as more experienced players is just as bad as asking for money. The difference is, when it comes to F2P games, people actually care if equipment gives too much advantage and cry foul if it does. In something like Battlefield, high level equipment is "earned", so it doesn't matter if it's unfair for new players. They should've known to throw their life away and play the game every day since it was launched.
  11. Intoxicated:

    I've heard that, but my experience of blends does not agree with that statement. The taste of grain whisky always comes through in my experience. I still drink blended whiskies, but only because I can't afford malts these days. I'll drink bourbon and rye whiskey as well, but nothing compares to the experience of a malt whisky I like.
  12. Ghost Recon Phantoms

    Ghost Recon Phantom Spectres: Wraith Haunt.
  13. Life

    You need to cut yourself a lot of slack and just pull through. As a teacher you want to do as well as you can for all of your pupils, but you need to recognise a situation that has been made impossible for you to do that. So do what you can, but take care of yourself and don't expect everything to go perfectly or even well. Also, fuck them for shifting the blame to you and making you defend your plans.
  14. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    It's really weird because it's not like the article is trying to hide anything.
  15. Intoxicated:

    My premise is that all malt is good whisky apart from some outliers like ridiculously young ones. But I mostly like stuff like Talisker and Laphroaig.
  16. Thank god the GK remake actually seems good. When it was announced I was certain it wouldn't be because the 3D models reminded me a bit about this. But it actually looks good in motion. Our at least a lot better.
  17. Recently completed video games

    That definitely helps. But Sean and Jake wrote the big plot points for the entire previous season, isn't that right? My impression is that Nick's influence is not that strong. I will definitely get it, though, just not this minute.
  18. Animated Shorts

    Ugh, those freaky eyes.
  19. Recently completed video games

    Finally finished The Walking Dead season 1 and 400 Days. I needed a break from it after the third episode. What an awesome game. I'll have to get Season Two when I can afford it, even though it doesn't have the Sean and Jake magic.
  20. The threat of Big Dog

    The craziest thing is that it exploits how the game's RNG works. Apparently, Nintendo games had an RNG based on the player's inputs, so this thing can get the power up it wants, change the way a ball bounces and such by moving around in a certain way.
  21. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yeah, I mean, it's HBO. What a bunch of fuck ups.
  22. I hope entirety of the next episode is spoken in Sean's (?) Homestar Runner voice.
  23. Morrowind

    I would like an RPG try to go further with the Wikipedia-like conversations Morrowind had. I think it could be interesting to make a system that's not actually modeling a conversation, as all systems that have tried to model conversations have failed utterly. Having keywords you click, no typed sentences for your character and such could in fact make suspension of disbelief easier.
