    GAME OF THRONES #4:Oathkeeper ACT 43 Chapter 4-2014

    I thought Margery's ploy for Tommen was pretty tasteful when compared to many of the others in the series/books.

    Freedom Cheeze!

    Yep, the latter is actually cheese while the former is literally one molecule away from plastic.

    Amazon considers raising Prime subscription fee by up to $40

    It's worth it for us. The two-day shipping is great. Basically all my Christmas shopping is through Amazon or Mom & Pop shops, for example, and the streaming service has a lot of choices for free. It's basically NetFlix streaming with free shipping upgrade attached. Some of the newest stuff you...

    Black Sails

    With only one episode left they may have multiple cliffhangers. There's way too many stories to be wrapped up. I suppose it doesn't hurt the series was renewed 6 months before the first episode aired.

    D&D 5E (2014) What Would You Give Up For A Cheaper PHB?

    Yep. D&D is a luxury item. Give me quality for my $50 and I'll be just fine. Limit the number of spells to a reasonable amount and sell a splat if needed but otherwise go to town. This isn't food, shelter or medicine.

    Who is watching "Vikings"?

    Well, he is the Earl and Aslaug is pregnant so I think that tempered her reaction somewhat, but yeah, it was odd. Aslaug was supposedly trying to curry favor with her but she is not inclined to share. It wouldn't surprise me if that moment is coming, though.

    Who is watching "Vikings"?

    We both enjoy it. The Ragnar/Legertha relationship is interesting. The Rolo flip-flopping is a bit much but otherwise I like it well enough.

    Would you work...

    1. Yes. I have nothing against it and have worked in strip clubs. 2. Probably not. The sliminess and pressure/inconsistency aren't my thing. 3. Pharmaceutical sales? That's a stretch. As Goldo, maybe pot as it's legalized. 4. Sure, maybe even feel like I'm making a difference for the better...

    New, Low Budget Conan Film in Production

    So this one will actually be low budget rather than just looking like it.

    Does a video/visual improve a song?

    It depends. Demi Lovato is cute, but even if she's dancing in her birthday suit with a full orchestra her version isn't anywhere near as good as Idina Menzel's.

    Why were fans disappointed with Battlestar Galactica's finally?

    I think part of it was the "Filler" leading up to it. It felt like they had three seasons worth of material but milked a fourth out of it, which included all the (seemingly endless) Roslin "visions" and that tripe. I enjoyed the ending well enough but man, some of Seasons 3 & 4 really felt...

    D&D 4E So all these wacky arguments are still about 4e, right?

    Irony? (Not directed at you, personally, just in general)

    Black Sails

    We've been enjoying it. There are a number of interesting characters.

    The one night stand culture

    If ytou want an example of repression in current events I give you the States of Kansas and Idaho. The Kansas House easily passed a bill allowing segregation of gays but the State Senate surprisingly came to their senses last week. Now Idaho is not only trying to enact similar legislation, but...

    The one night stand culture

    A related question is how common it would be for you to drive him (or a daughter) to the drug store for contraception. "If we tell our kids about contraception then they'll want to use it" can be interpreted two ways, one repressive and one proactive.

    D&D 5E (2014) Now that "damage on a miss" is most likely out of the picture, are you happy?

    Don't play dumb, you know exactly your editio war reference, as does eveyone else.

    D&D 5E (2014) Now that "damage on a miss" is most likely out of the picture, are you happy?

    Ah yes, the tired fallacy trotted out time-and-again by people who never actually played it.
