I hope they tweak the plot a bit because all-in-all I basically agree with Keyrock. I don't think everyone loved it to pieces, I think it's just one of those cases where; everyone else is watching/consuming it, therefore... I'm starting to like movies that aren't "EPIC" and have smaller scopes and focus on littler things. Like Judge Dredd remake for instance, the plot could have been ripped from a comic book ver. 674566 and it was way better than the Sly Stallone one Avatar should do something similar, but am certainly not holding my breath.

What is Cameron even doing these days? Last I knew he was deep sea diving and that was like many years ago.

https://www.quantumrun.com/country-predictions/china/2030 Ok guys since I'm a gambler by trade (Not my first career choice but I must deal with the cards that I am dealt, no pun intended) let's place bets. The Chinese as well as a surprising number of intellectuals are claiming China will overtake the U.S. by 2030 some even say by 2x. Since the Chinese have a habit of high balling their predictions vs reality -they claimed they'd achieve 8% economic growth in 2020 but in reality it was somewhere around 6.2%- I'm gonna say that China may in fact overtake the U.S. by 2035, and the U.S. could very well indeed fall to 3rd place behind both China and India. The United States would remain powerful but instead of an empire it will be the worlds #1 place for intellectuals various other opportunists seeking new life. The U.S. has the best universities and educational centers bar none, everyone from all walks of life come here to study. The U.S. is far too internally divided to remain #1 so I base most of my judgement on that premise. Civil strife could in fact break us.

Them making James Bond already has me scratching my head. Although the World of Assassination trilogy does seem rather Bondesque at times and is kind of distinct from their best title, Blood Money. Can't say I'm overly excited for IO's future though I'd certainly like to be pleasantly surprised.

So apparently Xi Jinping's father was one of the the early Communists who was purged by Mao during during the Cultural Revolution. Xi himself was exiled, lived in a cave, and slaved away in forced labor for 7 years. This man, who has every reason to hate Communists, is now supreme leader of the CCP. Guys I figured it out, Xi's embrace of fascism is derived from his childhood, and he has cleverly and connivingly worked his way all the way up to the top.

Screw, that! We need real leadership like FDR or Lincoln, someone who fires up the the masses into great deeds. Biden looks like he's getting started and thoroughly rejecting dumb Reaganesque the notion that "government is the problem", he's no great leader, but I'm glad to see we're gearing towards something new.

Joe Biden can't stop thinking about China and the future of American democracy (msn.com) LOL desperately needed comic relief.

I think I've stated REPEATEDLY that Russia is one of the foremost powers on the planet that's trying to dedicate resources into handling mature and responsible energy consumption, especially on nuclear energy. However, white judeo-Christian prejudice remains the pre-dominant ideology of the west so no matter what other powers do, it's gonna be construed as an adversarial challenge to the white supremacist orthodoxy of the West. Reality sucks but that's the reality when push comes to shove.

I like it how people still judge stores based on their refund policies and other minor insignificant things. I think it's white westernism at play here. Content should be king. Even if you buy a game you don't like, your funds are lost in the Matrix and you gracefully move on to other affairs.

Am in agreement with this to a certain degree. Get rid of coal and carbon completely, and form a solid synthesis between safe as Hell nuclear energy and "windmill" energy. However again I'll stress that extensive resources are needed to make nuclear energy at least 95% safe and should be an utmost priority. Dismantling nuclear weapons into such efforts should also be a long term goal.

...Flaws galore We still have a military base in Japan so that situation would be kinda ridiculous. Also I'm not too sure that a nation we dropped two nukes on would be willing to ask "how high" when we say "jump". Japan isn't too fond of China but it is its 3rd largest trade partner.

Ok let me try me make a simpler example... You buy 4 lottery tickets, each ticket has a 25% chance of being a winner What is your overall chance of winning?

Ok guys quick math question, this has really been bugging me. Say you're playing a turn based game and you have two attacks in a sequence, the 1st strike has an 80% chance of landing a hit and the 2nd strike has a 50% chance of landing a hit. What is your overall chance of landing ONE hit? I know it has to be at least 80% but how would you factor in 2nd hit into that equation? Thanks in advance, I'm in pain here.

Grim Dawn is better than any Diablo game.

I think nuclear is the closest thing to "green" that we're gonna get, I mean radiation is traditionally the color green, correct? But seriously yes, there is so much room for improvement in nuclear energy and I think if resources are devoted to perfecting it's efficiency, we could be in absolute clear.

Not the same team. Blizzard North was dismantled quite a few years before D3 was developed so the veterans behind the series weren't involved. Knowing Activision-Blizzard, it was probably designed by a team of thousands of interns each responsible for a tiny aspect of the game.

Eh, they are both really good and destroy other sources. The drawback of turbines is mostly space, whilst nuclear plants leave lots of room for more research into safer and more efficient ways. Lot's of potential here. https://energypost.eu/15052-2/ Also Rosatom and China's CNNC are state owned, so that gives them a huge geopolitical advantage to strategically setup shop and influence as they see fit, as Americans are still way to obsessed with privatization. https://hir.harvard.edu/rosatom-the-cnnc-and-the-nuclear-energy-arms-race/ Unless the U.S. pulls their head out of their backwards rear end this could really haunt them later on.

As I stated, the story isn't really all that great to me, though it does have a great protagonist and some cool dialogue options. Red Dead Redemption 2 I completed no sweat, because the plot was engaging and the the world felt more organic and less artificial, though the controls were a bit clunky (not an issue whatsoever in HZD). I also completed Elex no sweat because at the mid point is when you finally start becoming powerful and able to take down baddies, so there was a "ladder" effect there, unlike HZD where it becomes extremely easy at midpoint. Also Elex had some really interesting factions that Hegel would admire: Tree hugging hippies.... who are right wing reactionaries? Technology worshippers... who also worship a deity? Wonderful use of contradictions. I also really enjoyed the build character planning aspect of Elex. The most glaring problem with Elex was extremely unbalanced, even for a PB game, which kinda killed it for most gamers.

The Russians are actually dabbling in clean nuclear power. Their state industry Rosatom in championing it. 20th century: Nuclear power means death, destruction, and environmental catastrophe. 21st century: Nuclear power means clean, efficient, and perfectly safe power generation. Take that 20th century dinosaurs still lusting over vanquishing their adversaries with nuclear waste.

This should be the Lord of Songs for all pedophiles.

The most undervalued scene in cinema history

Obama and Ted Cruz may be on the opposite ends of the political spectrum but they are both have Harvard Law degrees and they both behave in a bizarrely similar fashion, same thing with Dario Hunter in the Green Party, him and Obama are like twins. I'm starting to think it's where your groomed that counts, not where you stand on issues.
