ckafrica, you should try watching movies when you're not hung over, they're better then. I'm not sure there are enough ways in the english language to tell you to go fuck yourself and your closest kin. Of course if you couldn't understand that my meaning was that there was little else to say about ...

Brent is an admitted roleplayer so the fact that it reads like an adventure module is no surprise. Same with Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadow of the Apt series.

It is not an unusual passtime for writers apparently

I would not be as generous to Warcraft. I was glazing over in the first 10 minutes as they change locations a brazillion times. All the characters were grating and the acting was half-hearted and wooden. It was pretty but I've already largely forgotten anything about it in the 3 days since I saw it ...

I think that there was a time when you could call yourself a centrist in that you saw that proposals on both sides of the political divide had merit and you were willing to adopt from either to get shit done. Canada's Liberal party certainly have tried to paint themselves with this brush since the l...

It really doesn't taste like much of anything. The closest analogy I can imagine is unflavored gummy bears that someone has sucked on so they are kind of slick.

This doesn't explain their extremely racist caricature depictions of arabs and jews. It is the method of out doing offensiveness of those who you are really making fun of. The kid growing up is not a joke about the incident in Cologne, its a joke at the people who will look at Cologne and say "...

I've always seen Hebdo's work as an ad absurdum view of everything. The suggestion that the kid would have become a sexual predator is about out racisting the racists, saying what is in their heads. I don't find Hebdo's work particularly funny but its pretty clear to me that they are playing on raci...

I'd tend to agree as well. You should be able to automate it pretty simply and still allow information to be inputted where desired so that the players can still roll the die and add it to the system which crunches all the details and spits out the results. One can even imagine having the ability to...

Actually, weirdly enough, a bit before the prequels they created a Lucas Arts council who started coordinating the EU, so the entire Vong Series, Legacy, and Fate all feel relatively cohesive with each other, very much not a clusterfuck. There was some sort of retconning in Fate, and the Cong serie...

Just saw the film. It has convinced me of 3 things: [*] JJ Abraham has no idea about scale, distance, speed, numbers or time. Every time anything relating to these things came up it jarred me out of the film a little because it was so obviously, painfully wrong. I get that Star Wars is Space Opera ...

Watched episodes 1-4 of Alan Tudyk's Con Man. Really wanted to like it but not a single thing was funny and it just came off as a hate letter to his fans (or to himself, hard to say). Not sure if e5-13 picks up but don't think I'm going to tempt fate to find out.

Apparently Australia helped. Because for the shitty scaremongering campaign Harper pulled, with BURKA-NIQAB-MUSLIM-ARAB-KEBAB fear and all that, he hired Australian political strategists.

I think it's important to remember that Australia hates you. It has hated you since before you were born. And it wants nothing more than for you to die. All of you.
