  1. I discovered Jimmy Carr, and my sides were cramped for like 3 days. If universities are too PC for Jerry Seinfeld...
  2. Christmas has become more than a christian holiday in the west. The commercialization and the various non-christian traditions have made it extremely accessible as a holiday. In vancouver I know many Sikhs, Buddhists, and Hindus who all celebrate christmas because they like the traditions and symbols involved. Santa, christmas trees, gift exchange, the feasts, the message of family and togetherness, in a society drifting further apart due to the internet its very appealing. Oh, and the lights too.
  3. Watch the Hogfather with the missus on christmas eve while we set up for morning, then christmas day do the regular gift opening and breakfast with the immediate family, then my parents are coming over from Vancouver Island for dinner
  4. I kept judging Apocalypse's voice against the one from the 90s cartoon. Did not come out well.
  5. Something about him got under my skin. Coulson totally crushed it this episode, though. I see what you did there
  6. Its good to hear Krampus is a bit of a comedy, looking at the cast in the first trailer I thought "Odd, this is all comedy actors"
  7. We started off liking Dark Matter more than Killjoys, but were way more into killjoys by the end of the season. Much better world building.
  8. Kind of annoying that they had the Doctor kill a guy with a gun just to establish that timelords can randomly become different races and sexes.
  9. In the west muslim and Arab have become pretty much synonymous, and english uses a lot of generalizations to speed communication. I don't really consider it terrorism unless a terrorist group claims responsibility. There were two attacks in canada the Conservatives tried to label terrorism but the general population didn't consider it so because both instances were just lone crazies.
  10. Brimstone, IIRC. In the comics, Brimstone was a creation of Darkseid. Yeah, I googled him afterwards. Also, it seems I missed a bunch of the trailer when I first watched it(was walking home), and watching it again, the character design is pretty obviously Doomsday.
  11. My first reaction was it was Atomic Skull. Now I realize I was misnaming the giant skull faced atomic energy monster from the first episode of Justice League Unlimited.
  12. I dismissed that theory when I realized all his "evidence" was based on The Dark Knight Returns not existing
  13. I was on board Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor until that.
  14. Yeah, the showrunners really hate romance. For that reason alone I'm expecting Hunter or Bobby to die in any episode they show up in. :?They're getting a spinoff, so I think they're safe.
  15. I'm really digging the show. Its totally style over substance, but its gorgeous and the fight scenes are wonderful. Post apocalyptic samurai western.
  16. Another store tried to do the same thing but stood up for the SJWs instead. They gained 20 new twitter followers and no uptick in sales, where PlayAsia more than tripled their twitter following (from 7k to like 24k I believe) and saw a huge sales increase.
  17. Black Panther! RDJ's delivery on that "so was I" is heartbreaking.
  18. I wish someone would do that [again] for Fallout. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but have you not played Wasteland 2? I've not played Wasteland 2. I've been stuck at the character creation screen for two days. I can't become even passably adept at every skill and my completionist compulsion is stopping me from progressing until I find a way. Even the Witcher 2 prologue wasn't this much of a challenge. You create a party of 4. Split your skills amongst all 4, and plan for which companions you'll take.
  19. I never thought of it before, but really all the Bajorans have kind of an elvish vibe. Garak and Dukat were definitely highlights of the show. Garak was my favorite character. Much further in Jessica Jones, definitely gets better as the show progresses, so far 2 "Sweet Christmas" from Luke Cage, and Kilgrave is a creepy villain. Still not as good as Daredevil, but still an excellent show. Looking forward to Luke Cage now especially how his fight scenes play out. He is completely calm during fights because he essentially can't be hurt.
  20. As much as Kotaku gets crapped on, I have never seen anything but professionalism from Totilo. His articles are the only ones on Kotaku that actually seem like real journalism. Though thats probably because he's the only one there with a journalism degree.
  21. Major Kira was a childhood crush of mine. Odo probably gets the most character development over yhe series
  22. Final Fantasy XIII is the only single player FF game I put less than 5 hours into. Everything about it was just... Meh.
  23. What is EU4? Europa Universalis IV, it is grand strategy game, that focuses on civilization management, from Paradox Interactive. Never heard that game, oh so there is a game about ancient Melaka?! You can play as one of hundreds of different nations across the world. Only countries I've played as in Asia so far are Khmer, Japan, and Ayutthaya. Might have to give some others a go.
  24. That is partially true....Europe is not the only advance civilization, but history written by the conquerors...Melaka was advance, we have guns and cannons, but we lost...western people razed everything and re-write our history. Melaka was Ottoman little brother, we trade with them, that's how we got guns, (western traders also sell guns), we are highly technological... Below is a movie made by our neighbor, Thailand, about Malay kingdom Pattani, because of some political sensitivity (with Malaysia, Pattani is a Malay region but under Thailand) they changed the title into Langkasuka, the old name of a former kingdom. Yes it is a mix of fantasy and real history, but it is quite accurate...look on how Malay people look like back then.... Full movie with English subtitle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_iDWI-7ljo In EU4 Malacca (english spelling I guess?) always seems to get conquered by Majapahit.
