That was pretty neat. Thanks for that.

I regret buying a smartphone. Sure, it has saved me a couple of times when I forgot to do something ahead of time, but do I really need it? no. Sadly, the phone companies here stopped stocking regular phones in their stores, on the assumption that people would only buy smartphones. When my phone...

Wow, they even managed to get most of my complaints.

Yeah, but they've been using it to the point that it's a trope, bordering on cliche'. No, but I do try to figure out what's going on so I can weed out drek without wasting too much time. If a show is well done, I don't have time to notice the flaws--I'm too busy enjoying it. When I'm not...

And Transformers, and Enders Game, and Jack of All Trades, and...

Yeah, but what's with the sythesizer fog-horn?

Can someone please explain the appeal of this show to me? I had to give up by episode 4, when all the characters had behaved like total idiots, but only one had been killed for such extreme stupidity and lack of foresight. It seemed like coincidence driven to extremes as required major plot...

Don't worry: some executive won't understand it, and will order it destroyed. Or it will suck from the get-go. "CobblePot, Selina Kyle, and Alfred Pennyworth" will be in the show, but Batman won't because Bruce Wayne is only 11. Um, won't Selina then only be at most 15? Isn't she supposed to be...

Wow. Sounds like it should be part of "Cards Against Humanity".

Sounds like a lot of people have horror stories of parents or grandparents taking it too far. Have we now gone too far the other way?

Just got back from theater. Was with friends who really wanted to see it in spite of the low reviews. It earned them. The opening scene is so full of shakey-cam I was nearly ready to leave. Gawd-dayum! How are we supposed to see what is going on if the camera is shaking like it's being held by...

You find all of my posts highly offensive. Even this one. I'd have to apologize for apologizing for apologizing for my apology.

Sounds like that's someone taking the value to extremes--more than a little unhealthy, physically and mentally. (no offense) 4-6months seems like a good buffer, though in this age, a full year is almost in order. If possible.

Yeah, you'll find lots of good advice here. And some you should ignore (like mine). 4e has lots of odd tweeks. One encounter power was Hellfire chain lightning which was a minion-popper of horrendous scale when you get to epic. Round 1 after that character's turn, the minions were almost always...

I think I'd rather spend the money fixing up my house. And maybe buying an alarm system with tripple-redundancy backup GPS systems for any toy that expensive. Honestly, where are you going to take something like that? One idiot driver, and it is off the street for good. And CA specializes in...

Kurtzman and Orci were involved in the script. Of course it is going to suck.

Well, the remodelling of the apartment that was empty is finished, and this coming week I get to fumigate another building. All of this has burned down my cash. Only reason I managed was because I had built up cash in an account that I haven't touched in 5 years. People were surprised. But...

Good. Thank you for that clarification.

Terry Nation was once asked how he wrote such strong female characters. "I write for them as men. They are female only in as much as casting or advancing the plot requires." Not quite as modern PC, but hey--equality of a sort at least (damn sight better than most of his contemporaries).

awww... he can't go to games anymore... oh boo hoo hoo. You want to punish the guy in a meaningful way? TAKE AWAY HIS TEAM. "Yep, you were such an (donkey) that we are revoking your franchise entirely. Your franchise will be sold, the profits will go to the current team members and staff, and...
