My now 9 years old son has played soccer since he was 5 years old. Two seasons per year, (spring & fall). The first few seasons the score was not "officially" kept. The idea was that the kids are just learning the game; playing was really just training & practice. But the kids, every one, kept...

I came to ENWorld right now to post this trailer. It does look interesting, but yeah, I agree about the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. It's like the Enterprise in Star Trek movies. Captain America is my all-time favorite superhero, and I was very cautiously optimistic about the first movie, The...

So who's regularly watching it, and what do you think? Bullgrit

The Young Ones was on MTV in the mid 80s. Bullgrit

I remember seeing The Young Ones on MTV back in the 80s, and I remember liking it. I was just reading the Wikipedia article on it, and laughing almost literally out loud. Especially the character descriptions. As I'm reading the text, I'm remembering the episodes, and I'm really impressed at...

I've had a vasectomy. I can eat all the bacon I want! Woohoo! Bullgrit

No? The oracle said, exactly: "Belkar will draw his last breath - ever - before the end of the year" http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0572.html How does what I said get a "No"? If you're saying he'll become a vampire, he still has to die first. (Durkon died.) Bullgrit

The oracle prophecized Belkar's death "before the end of the year." Well, he's been trying to let Elan show some capability. Tarkin's been holding back a bit for that reason. Bullgrit

The first episode, the wife of the man and boy Rick meets tries to open the house door. And for memory of life, again in the first episode, the little blonde girl Rick sees: She stops walking, reaches down and picks up a stuffed animal. That made me think she was alive. But then she turned...

Banksy's art value is context dependant -- graffiti vs. canvas. How many people might have recognized the art but assumed it was just plagerized (term for copying art vs. text?) to sell on the street. I know Banksy, but had I been walking down that street and saw that kiosk, I would have...

I've mentioned before that I've tried to watch The Walking Dead but just couldn't get past some plot issues. This weekend I watched the first episode of the show, and it got me thinking about what are the "rules" of these zombies. For instance, head shots kill these zombies, (as it the trope...

If this was a D&D game, I'd say the DM is beginning to railroad. He wanted to capture or kill the party/Roy, but they/he managed to escape, and now the big bads are going all out to make sure the plot the DM wanted to run comes to be. I will be . . . unhappy . . . if after all that and Belkar...

Actually, my answer is: Yes, done it. As of last month, we have no cable/TV vendor. We have Internet service, through which we use Netflix. For local channels we have rabbit ears discreetly concealed behind the TV. The only complaint has been that my wife misses HGTV and the Weather Channel...

When I searched Amazon Prime, all I got was rental options for everything. So pay an annual fee to be able to pay to rent. Bullgrit

So you can't just go to netflix.com and see/access the same things I do? You get routed differently because of your IP? I didn't know that. Bullgrit

I didn't know there were national versions of Netflix. I thought it was an "Internet" thing. I understand how some web sites would have national versions -- sites that deal in physical products and such. But downloading content from the Internet? Can you not ignore the UK version and go right to...

I found this thread while looking for something else. I'm in the top 10 for gold pieces? I don't even know what they are, here. Funny. Bullgrit

We signed up for Netflix over a month ago, and I've been surprised at what that service is missing in its movie library. I'm happy with the TV show selection, but movies, Netflix has left me unfulfilled for 7 out of 7 tries. Seven fails! Tremors Tron: Legacy Airplane Taken RED Scott Pilgrim...

If all experts were always absolutely correct in everything they say about their area of expertise, you'd be right. But "expert" is a very difficult label. Even doctors are not perfect. There is a wide area of space between "your doctor is an idiot" and "no doctor is perfect". It'll probably...
