    AAARGH DFAFLNKSAF;AS 'S WHY HARD DRIVE WHY YOU BRICK TWO MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY
  2. Daedra, you guys say? Who's taken, regarding that?
  3. Either Grendelmom and the dragon, being cut from the same cloth as Grendel, are just savage bears and animals, or Grendel launched an unprovoked attack on Heorot because he was a dick who didn't know how to ask his neighbors to calm down. You can't have it both ways. Either way, Beowulf's actions are more like the hunter defending humans. from, you know. Monsters. This is a time before Disney and what not popularized the idea of the misunderstood monster like the Beauty and the Beast movie. Besides, I'm pretty sure that dragons, generally depicted as capricious and petty hoarders, wouldn't just take the cup with thanks, sip a cup of tea, and go on its own way. They're not like their Asian counterparts at all. Although it would be sort of funny... "Kind sir, would you please stop attacking our lands?""Why, certainly, young king. When I woke up and found that my cup was missing, I flew into a frightfully terrible rage. I am soooo sorry for that.""Thank you, good dragon. Perhaps afterwards, we could reconvene for a cuppa tea?""I would like that very much." But I do agree on the aspects that it's not necessarily wise to try to apply Christian morals to a semi-historical love song to other heroic tales. Well, I'd say that Superman is quite capable of carrying his own story should the writer present an antagonist or a problem that couldn't be beaten down by sheer fists, like Alan Moore did often. Like "For the Man who has Everything." Confrontational much? You're the one who keep advocating that good writing should trigger and resonate with you on an emotional level. What's wrong with feeling the way you feel about well written pieces? @Paranormal stuff: Never really fell into that genre, though my best guesses would be to focus on its effect on the protagonist, rather than the creepy willies' source and what not. Probably should be a general progression of both plot lines - the effects on the person, and the person finding the source, until they meet up. Not necessarily halfway, though. Truth clashing with perception. Is the guy a bit off his rocker at that point, so the stuff the reader sees is part of his own assumptions and delusions?
  4. Because we all know that fans are shaped like the devs, amirite or amirite? Anyways, for me, I'd probably go with New Vegas, all 4 DLCs included.
  5. Was it because Dany has no more claim to the throne than Joffrey, Robb, etc, but she's acting all self-righteous over it? Calling Stark TRAITOR TRAITOR while plugging her ears when Barristan offers to tell her about Aerys? Her chapters are also kind of meh. I don't care about your crusade to fight slavery, Dany. Focus of the plot, Iron Throne. Not Meereen.
  6. Dance with Dragons was surprisingly disappointing. It plodded along like molasses, and the focus could've been tightened a bit more. Also... not really a big fan of Dany myself.
  7. That's Urban Fantasy, though I'd hesitate to call HP even that, since you don't really touch on modern world v magic. Low Fantasy is more ASoIaF. Less on everyone having wizards and slinging spells.
  8. New Vegas for the win, man. Oodles better than Fallout 3. I tried the latter before the first and... well, I couldn't even find dad before dropping it out of sheer boredom. And if FO4 is written by the same people who did 3, then color me not interested. Also, JC, you can get 1 and 2 on steam or GoG, if you're not averse to digital distribution.
  9. Just watch them through perfectly legitimate means on perfectly legitimate streaming sites.
  10. Well, why not just do the dice thing if people ABSOLUTELY won't figure it out themselves? You can ask someone if they want to fight, skirmish, etc, but when it starts to get nasty, roll. No bias that way. Because the idea of people being able to not get hurt/killed when they don't want to in a RPG where you're supposed to hurt people is ridiculous.
  11. Haha, remember this show. Anyone watched the movies too? Antispiral is manlier than he thinks he is.
  12. Captain Giggles is hilarious. ia, ia, cthulhu fhtagn! I take it you never read the novel, then? Oh right, another anime I forgot. Puella Madoka Magica Magi. Written by the guy who wrote FZ. Don't be put off by the cutesy designs and whatnot. It's pretty good.
  13. >>Fate/stay night That anime was pretty bad compared to the source material, to be honest. Buuuut I can't really say more about said source because of not-so-kiddy content that the anime replaced with dragons and dolphins. Even then, the animation's not up to par. ufotable's doing wonders with F/Z though.
  14. Tiger and Bunny's a good one. Superheroes who are driven by corporation interest and whatnot. Though I think it's fine, CG might not be to your liking. Persona 4's anime is also just starting, and it looks pretty good so far. I'd also recommend Fate/Zero.
  15. What is this thing

  16. Arkham City looks interesting from what I've seen yeah, though like everything, I'll probably wait for the price to drop. On another note, New Vegas over FO3. Vanilla FO3's pretty terrible without mods.
  17. FALLOUT IN AUSTRALIA. You could do that. A new world where you get killed by fleas and mutated honey badgers. Or... well... just... not FO3. Brotherhood of Jedi with their whole May the Steel be with you thing was lame.
  18. The Cerberus card doesn't depend on the system, though. You could get a new computer, reinstall everything, and still play it on that. It's more on the Bioware Social Network account.

    Killing Stress

    Watching Aneemays. Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a must.
  20. Actually, the way it looks like it's set up, it's on some sort of hinge or something or other so it can stay relatively horizontal. That said, it is the desk of great MULTITASKING MASTERS.
  21. It appears that he is. Now go forth and cower in your corner, blasphemous son.
