    Agreed. They barely call traveling or moving screens, both of which occur 5+ times every single goddamn game.

    NBA 2023-24 Season Thread - The Lakers Lose, America Wins

    It all started with Vlade Divac bringing his flopping and whining to the game. He was the start of the decline of hard-nosed defense and now refs call fouls on absolutely everything. I hate it.

    What happened to..........(FoH Poster)?

    Because everyone knows what happened to him and no one cares that he is gone. They way he shit up every single fucking thread with a pulse and made it all about him was damn near a work of art.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Fallout is a weird one because there are hardly any "main characters" to get wrong. I said in the Fallout TV show thread that I thought they absolutely nailed the feel of the universe. Having thought back on the show, however, there are hardly any memorable parts to the season and the story...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Wow, Amazon really has perfected the formula of a.) buying a beloved video game/fantasy/sci-fi property, probably for an obscene amount of money b.) spending a metric fuck ton of money on production/development/filming c.) ruining it all by choosing directors/writers/producers/actors who flat...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    But why? There is so much crap out there today and DS3 is in the top 5% of games available. It would probably be in the top 1% of games if you played, and liked, the other souls games. Why skip it? I also noticed no one is mentioning Bloodborne. That one must be played since it was...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The fucking dungeon that is the 3 level maze where you can only tell that you are in a new part is because the enemy layout changes/there are no bodies from previously killed enemies. That one sucked but felt really good to figure out and complete.

    I don't think I've ever physically hated a card until I saw this. My mind did not even recognize it as a card.

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Not only that, but his Youtube has over 1 Million subscribers. He could stop selling fish today, just make fish content videos and he would crush it.

    It is the most wholesome, family-friendly cartoon on TV right now and people recognize that.

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    You know, I used to not think this was true; but I have come to believe it more and more over the last 5 years. Anyways, it fits here nicely as well.

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    It's like you all forget that Video Games, Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Books all fall under the umbrella of ART. Artists were always the weird types and they gravitate towards outcasts/misfits because every one of them thinks THEY are an outcast/misfit. The very things that make them creative...

    Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2

    They cannot leave us alone because their entire lives revolve around narcsisstic feelings of acceptance or vengeance. Either you agree with their worldview and are an ally or you disagree and are a threat that must be eliminated. There is nothing in between to these people.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think people would have hated the endings and motivations if they got books and books worth of nuance and inner dialogue to justify the decisions. The problem is that the show did so much wrong in the post books seasons that no one was going to accept the ending.

    Fallout

    They are setting up Norm and Chet to be the reluctant heroes of Vault 33. Norm hides during the first fight, is humiliated by it, and then finds ways to be courageous for the rest of the season. Chet is middle of the road, but you can see his hesitation to action even in his last scene when...

    Fallout

    I just finished the first season and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Were there some dumb fucking choices in some of the episodes with regards to plot, situations, and characters? Sure. But goddamn if it didn't feel like the Fallout world. Personally, I liked the mix of...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I can get any specialty patty burger at Texas Roadhouse with a side for like $10.99; I don't understand how fast food restaurants are not seeing a huge decrease in business.

    Baby Reindeer

    You guys can skip this one. The amount of time this show spend with the camera close up on the characters is off-putting; and not in a scary movie way. Minor spoiler that they don't tell you about until the second episode is that the main character likes trannys and is trying to hide it.

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    The game is from a developer in San Fran, this shit? I'm shocked that the first game didn't have more of it, all things considered. Truthfully, I'm going to play this because the first one was fucking baller. It was an amazing game with amazing mechanics and amazing replay value. This...

    Investing General Discussion

    They either don't understand that the reward for sticking with investments is a lower tax rate or they understand it completely and are just trying to get more money from the middle/upper class and don't get that it will absolutely tank long term gains when you are almost 100% certain to pay...

    Warhammer 40k

    GW is a company so what this really comes down to is that they either did it because they think it will sell more models or they did it because they thought it was the right thing to do, sales be damned. Regardless, I don't think GW is a big enough company that they can do the latter without at...

    Deadpool & Wolverine

    This just goes to show that all those fucking creatives that said the costumes from the comic books wouldn't translate to the big screen can go fuck themselves. That is the best Wolverine costume and you fucking know Deadpool is going to make a joke about it. Also, looks great.

    Transformers One (2024)

    More of this generation's endless talking. They cannot let a single second of any scene be silent and carried by either the emotional weight of the last line or any sort of physical acting/body language. Just talk talk talk joke on top of joke sarcasm.

    Resources sure are finite. Sucks that we have no way of finding out how to do more with less of something or finding a better way to utilize it. It really did suck how much less gas we have after hitting Peak Oil in the '70s.

    I cannot believe you all fall for his shit every time. He is a troll, and not a very good one. He does not play WH40k, doesn't know who the actual community consists of, and truly does not care whether GW as a company fails or succeeds. He is part of the same group of people that @sukik...

    The Mandela Effect

    The bug on the window thing, specifically, probably has more to do with more people living in cities and those cities extending further out than they did 20 year ago. If you are driving on a road that is surrounded by neighborhoods or even just on a highway that is well lit than you are going...

    So you think they did this because they believe they are going to sell more miniatures by adding in a female Custodes? Do you think this, overall, going to help or hurt their bottom line and why?

    Be sure to keep all of the goddamn paperwork they sent in triplicate so when they come try and claw it back at least you have proof that they cannot charge you interest.
