    Why Do Batman Fans Hate Christopher Nolan?

    I'd rather see a thought bubble than a loser/poser/lackey.

    (Cool new ) X-Men: Days of Future Past (trailer)

    I really don't remember the last movie I saw in the theater. Just not into it anymore for some reason. Being hella busy doesn't help things either. I may try to see this, though, and that Guardians movie, too.

    (Cool new ) X-Men: Days of Future Past (trailer)

    Yeah, I didn't think this would interest me but the more I see, the more I think it might not suck.

    Why Do Batman Fans Hate Christopher Nolan?

    For the love of god, no. Robin is terrible. That wasn't Bale, it was Nolan. Done in post, holmes.

    Windows 8?

    XP is end of support. Has anyone run VMWare on a Windows 8 machine? If so, how did it go?

    What Do You Want To Talk About? (EnWorld edition)

    Long weekend. Gotta take my project car apart a lot earlier than I wanted to. Moron I bought it from thought water was just as good as antifreeze. Lost a couple freeze plugs and potentially cracked the block (unknown at this time). I have the engine out and clean and will tear it down to the...

    [April] What Are You Reading?

    Done with Doomed. Not bad but not as good as Damned. I'm still looking forward to the final book in the series, though. It's an interesting story. Started Turgenev's Rudin. Er, not exactly. Still working on the intro. :)

    Ebooks on the way out?

    The simple point there is that my book will not be destroyed, I won't have to wait to finish it, I won't have to spend a lot of money to replace it if I want an unscuffed copy and all of that makes it superior to an ebook. It's a challenge to the statement that ebooks are 'superior in every...

    Why Do Batman Fans Hate Christopher Nolan?

    I thought the Nolan stuff was pretty damned good for what it is: A superhero movie. Srsly, if you wanna dissect this stuff to hell and back I can't see the point in it. It's summer movie trash, not cinema. In that respect it does its job quite well - better than any previous version, that's...

    I have not. Peeped the synopsis and it seems interesting. I may have to check it out.

    A Necro-Biological Explanation of the Fermi Paradox

    That's the best part about zombies, IMO. I had this idea to write a Siffy channel-esque story about Fukushima. Tsunami kills people, radiation animates corpses as zombies, zombies walk across Pacific toward North American coast and invade. Just never found the time.

    Ebooks on the way out?

    I read during lunch at work. I use one hand to turn pages and have for seven years or more. It's not that bad. :p Even as a player I like to have access to as many books as possible. It helps me with character advancement and, most importantly, rule issues. I used to carry four or more...

    Do spoilers bother you?

    Wut? If you know something happens, how and when, that something has been 'spoiled'. It's the same thing. You can rationalize however you see fit, of course, but that doesn't make it any less than exactly the same.

    Ebooks on the way out?

    I don't read in bed so it's not something I'm concerned with. I do read while I eat lunch at work and haven't experienced any real annoyance at having to flip pages while masticating. It's all in what you're comfortable with, I guess. As for waiting for delivery, well, that's a real concern...

    Ebooks on the way out?

    Meh, I'd still rather have a book. There's ritual to it that no electronic device will never capture. What's odd in my case is that when I game I use my laptop to search rules. I still use a paper character sheet (crafted with Excel and printed off - but that's more to do with my atrocious...

    Nope but it's also pretty good.

    Ebooks on the way out?

    My wife is a Kindle person and I'm real books only. I don't care what people say about ebooks, they're dumb. I don't need batteries or a charger to read a book. I don't need to worry about eye strain when I'm looking at ink on a page. And if I spill a drink accidentally while I'm reading and...

    Lucy (trailer)

    Whoa, brah, Lawrence was a terrible Mystique. Romijin was sexier and played the role better. I don't get all this JLaw stuff. Like, I've seen her in some stuff and the only time I really liked what she did was American Hustle. The odd thing is, Amy Adams kicked her ass in that. Nobody in...

    A Roleplaying "Nerd" Politician?

    Well, LARP is pretty awful so that alone should keep him out of office. I mean, who hasn't seen that 'lightning bolt! lightning bolt!' video or whatever. dood could have been involved in 2G1C kind of stuff and had less people slam his hobby.
