  1. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Burn the witch! Man, our little community is expanding rapidly. Welcome all.

    Fuck the ocean, fuck space, it's all trying to kill us.
  3. Just make sure you run ArmA 2 and not OA or Combined Ops. Pirate, you're going to need to find a bunch of 10+ person levels it seems like.
  4. Assassin's Creed: Mohawk

    This has my vote.
  5. DOTA 2

    I feel I'm not being hyperbolic when I say "Best new RTS feature of the decade"
  6. Assassin's Creed: Mohawk

    Chris just adequately explained what I was going to. I mean, look at Rosa. She's about as tomboy as it gets in order to survive in that era and "profession".
  7. Getting an access denied there Doug. All those Chuck-E-Cheese stories are bad, but it's the little details that make me despair. (Third article) In Memphis, Tenn. : "The girl said, 'Dang, how long y'all gonna be?'" Key, 18, had come to the restaurant to celebrate her 2-year-old daughter's birthday. Key's stepfather, Terrence Dickerson, responded by punching the girl in the face... (And after the brawl the teenage mothers mother is arrested for marijuana possession) (Fourth article): In more recent news, no charges will be filed against the parents in Maryland who left their three-year-old at Chuck E. Cheese on accident this week, only realizing she was still there when they saw her photo on the news. And of course the final article is just depressing all the way through.
  8. DOTA 2

    Invoker is piss-easy once you have the spell combinations down to muscle memory. Or you cheat with hotkeying the combos. Which I would recommend while you learn him. 6/3/11 first game as Sillybear. Didn't even get my Radiance done, tore through them. Hell, all three of the deaths were avoidable, I just got in too deep during team fights. Going to definitely play more of him.
  9. Mount and Blade: Warbands

    There's an entire thread over at SA devoted to weird Mount and Blade mods, and we started with Mount and Musket. It's fun, but I got tired of it and basically just do general admin stuff for the group now.
  10. LOST

    Alright, I stand corrected on that front. I still defy you to tell me that it made any fucking sense.
  11. LOST

    Gee, thanks. I guess I should put more effort into it. Season 1 of LOST actually captured my interest fairly well. At first I thought it was going to be fairly shitty horror-drama, or whatever genre "Crash on island with weird shit going on" happens to fall under. It didn't become that, and I was pretty intrigued for the majority of season 1. The writing was decent, the music was extremely well scored and placed and I liked almost all of the actors. I'm not sure if I've explained this before, but I watch movies/TV for the actors. Not a whole lot else matters to me when I watch something, unless the actors are good enough to bring notice of it to the forefront. A good recent example of this would be MI: Ghost Protocol. Simultaneously a great and terrible movie. The action and the acting was constantly tense and well done, all the action scenes were paced impeccably and Tom Cruise actually seemed to be acting. All of the jokes actually managed to be funny and their placement served to pace the tension. In reality, it was a terrible movie in terms of story, some of the choices the characters made and I felt like it could have been about 10 minutes shorter. Loved it though. So when Season 2 of LOST rolls around and things start going "crazy", I tense up a bit in my acceptance of the show and start to be more wary. I remain this way throughout the next two seasons before I finally give up about the time the flash-forwards start. I realize by that point that the writers are flying by not only the seat of their pants, but some rabid rationalization that has grown around the show that it's the best godsdamned thing television has ever seen. I'm still enjoying the characters by this point, especially Sawyer and Locke. Hell, I even like Jack, and fuck Jack. Oh and naturally Daniel Dae Kim will never not be great. And then there's the flash-"sideways", the smoke monster, some angel v demons shit I never really got a hold of and was just told about, and all the other shit that just magically fucking happens. LOST is a lot like DS9 to me. Incredible premise (Star Trek that isn't serialized one-off bad-guy-a-week episodes) that eventually gets polluted because of internal and external strife between writers and fans (the Defiant shows up because everyone is bored of this fucking station so the crew starts going on adventures being the big one). If you think, and apparently more or less everyone does, that the writers had all the shit that happened, the ending, all of it, planned well in advance, you're crazier than the Mass Effect people are. Or maybe I'm wrong about all of it. I don't know, but I never saw LOST as the great game-changer everyone else seemed to. E: Oh, also "lottery curse".
  12. LOST

    LOST is a terrible show.
  13. Mass Effect 3

    No, it is not.
  14. Mass Effect 3

    What makes it stupid(er) to me, is that these people are enraged that they spent 60 bucks on and "demand" (not exactly, but they're basically holding charity hostage here), a change to the ending. If they're so worked up about giving BioWare money for something unsatisfactory, everything Retake Mass Effect has done so far is... stupid doesn't cover it. And while I don't mind cursing some on these forums, I have limits.
  15. The threat of Big Dog

    Thank you for making that even more terrifying.

  17. The threat of Big Dog

    BD clearly has a pact with our new overlords. They supply them with the means to control and hunt down humanity, and they get Legate positions. The Sand Flea is like an even worse Bouncing Betty. Hiding in a fourth-story window? Haha, surprise jerk! Express plastique delivery.
  18. Mass Effect 3

    Woops! Sorry, I should have specified that COD is just a part of "FUSS Cupcakes" default invoice form. Still stupid.
  19. Mass Effect 3

    What would I even do with a thousand dollars worth of cupcakes. The possibilities... Probably build a cupcake catapult.
  20. Mass Effect 3

    I think they're trying to make a "point" in that all the cupcakes are vanilla, but are labeled 'A', 'B' and 'C'. On the other hand, while it's neat and I'm sure they'll all enjoy the cupcakes, but it could probably be construed as harassment and a couple other things if BioWare lawyers felt like it. Also the thousand bucks was raised in less than an hour from the RETAKE MASS EFFECT 3 people, and that's just fucking stupid. People are idiots.
  21. Mass Effect 3

    Hey look, unequivocal proof that people are fucking retarded. Delicious, delicious harassment.

    I know we typically don't do adorable animals here, but this is just too
  23. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    He seems like a decent guy, but I have this personal hangup where if you intentionally portray an annoying character I have a hard time seeing you for you. So fuck that guy. He's also not funny, but that's another thing entirely.
