  1. Made it to 50 with my starfleet captain in STO. Kinda odd that that is when the actual MMO content opens up, though the mission to unlock the iconian gateway with Worf was pretty sweet.
  2. Loved that show, had a teenage crush on Ms. Parker
  3. I want what Peter Molyneux promised for the first Fable. Or that game from Stargate Atlantis that turned out to be a massive social experiment
  4. I ended up subbing when I played it because I found the f2p really restrictive and don't get me started on their cash store, decent stuff but wildly overpriced I am enjoying it enough that I wish I had the 300 bucks for a lifetime sub in order to get the cnaptains yacht and former borg race, but then I realize I will likely tire of it in two months like all the other mmos I've played, so it wouldn't be worth it. There is a lot of content for a noob though. I am especially enjoying the Romulan path. Better storytelling than the federation, that seems to be jamming time travel in everywhere as an excuse to have the original series characters. The TalShiar are a pretty cartoony villain though.
  5. Level 32 now with my starfleet captain in Star Trek Online. Bit the bullet and bought some of their horribly overpriced in game currency so I could sell some keys for energy credits, grabbed playable federation Klingons and one of the uniform packs too. Pissed I forgot that FTP players have limited energy credit space and lost the entire proceeds of one of my sold keys. I broke down and subscribed though, so now I have the extra bridge officer slots and energy credit storage. 20-30 bucks each for the good ships is pretty ridiculous though.
  6. Daddy's Home. More heartwarming than funny, but a couple of laugh out loud moments. Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg have great chemistry together.
  7. The Ghost Rider effects on Agents of SHIELD were good. Not a big fan of the ghost rider in a muscle car idea though. But it leaves it open to do Dan Ketch and Johnny Blaze fighting the forces of heaven and hell on Netflix.
  8. I called them up to cancel and they dropped me to about 100 bucks to stay I think I lost Starz in the deal so nothing of real value was lost We live in a co-op and just found out the community housing ministry negotiated a deal with Telus and we might get our tv and internet bill dropped by almost half. Which means I might sign up for HBO and still save 60 bucks.
  9. I'd figure the opposite, as her dad Jon Voight guest speaks at Trump rallies Supposedly Brad has a closer relationship to John Voight than she does.
  10. Suikoden 2 gets that crown.
  11. Terrorism requires a political goal to be terrorism. If someone sets off a bomb for ****z and giggles, then its not terrorism, just being terrible.
  12. That Walking Dead mobile game lead me to Star Trek Timelines, which is better written with a neat premise that allows you to build a crew from pretty much every part of Trek. And doesn't have such a steep progression wall. It got my Trek juices running and I downloaded ST:Online. Into the 2nd mission as captain of my ship and so far I'm enjoying it.
  13. Not to mention the UK. They don't even have a constitution, just a series of laws and court precedents dating back hundreds of years.
  14. How does she have a show? I couldn't make it through the whole video.
  15. Next year or the year after I think. They've cast everyone but White Wolf I think.
  16. South Park ripped on Hillary, Trump, Black Lives Matter, Paul Feig, female comedians, collective guilt, Colin Kaepernick, JJ Abrams, and reboots. Not bad for one episode.
  17. I don't know much about him personally, but the Constitution party policies appeal to me.
  18. I got murdered right outside Cyseal and put the game away for a while before trying again and discovering there is an order which direction you should take out of the city. Basically from left to right otherwise you get murdered by higher level people.
  19. I've actually been playing some mobile games a lot. Fallout Shelter, Transformers: Earth Wars, and The Walking Dead: Road to Survival. TWD:RTS actually has the bones of a really good game if it was done on a larger scale without the freemium garbage. Base building, a campaign based on Woodbury after the Governor's death, etc. I would really like to see a AAA game with the same kind of premise. Story based Zombie apocalypse RPG with heavy emphasis on base building would be super cool. State of Decay and Dead State did ok, but State of Decay didn't have enough RP elements and the base building was too basic, Dead State was pretty light on story and the game style didn't really do a lot for the storytelling.
  20. They're here, just invisible because damned dudes are deplorable. I always wondered what happened to LadyCrimson. She's been a regular here since day one, and I haven't seen her in like a year.
  21. I just grabbed all the DLC on sale a few weeks back and am on my second playthrough of DAI. I quite enjoyed it. It did feel like two different games though. The MMO-ish grinding and world exploration, then the Bioware style cinematic RPG stuff. They didn't blend it very well, but its an enjoyable game... if you have a gamepad.
  22. No. Not really even close. They've got a few modules out, and they seem to be still working on it pretty regularly. I wouldn't expect it to drop in 2016, but delays are hardly unique in game development, and given the scope of the project, should be expected. I've got a few kickstarted projects that are much less likely to ever ship. The Space Quest one, Quest for Glory one, and some game by the guy who designed Civ V. Those games look dead and are years behind schedule. And all of those were pretty small scale games. edit: I haven't followed too closely, but it looks like you can already fly a ship around and shoot stuff. No idea how good it is, but it's not vaporware. The QFG one had an update a couple weeks ago. Game has made lots of progress, but yeah, its like 2 years late for a point adventure game. Mage Initiation, the QFG style one from the guys who did all the QFG remakes was in the works for like 3 years before their kickstarter, and its like 2 years later and they announced the game is hitting Alpha soon. Honestly, I have so many games in my backlog, as long as they come out, I don't care how late they are. I think using a team based all around the world in different time zones working in their spare time is definitely not the best way to make a game though.
  23. I agree that had the US stayed in Iraq, it may have turned out better. They were working towards it. Afghanistan is a lost cause. The kinds of people who want Afghanistan to be a modern prosperous country are few and far between, while people grasping at power are much more common. This is where me and Bruce differ on what makes a good leader. Democratically elected is not a prerequisite for a good leader. A dictator can be a good leader if he keeps the wellbeing and prosperity of his country and people at the forefront. Democracy can be disasterous with an uninformed illiterate population. Sometimes it takes a literate informed dictator to prepare a people for democracy.
  24. I was intimately involved in the Iraq invasion, I admit I naively thought the Iraqs after living under the brutal dictatorship of Saddam would welcome the benefits of a Democracy....it was a lesson I will never forget Yes the USA made a mistake but they did try to fix Iraq but it wasnt obtainable, so al-maliki wanted the USA to leave and remember this http://www.nbcnews.com/id/27198274/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/t/pact-sets-limits-iraqi-prosecution-troops/#.V9RS9fl94b0 The thing with Democracy is that you can't force it on people. It needs to come organically. Europe had the idea of democracy from a very early stage, with the greeks, but it wasn't until the enlightenment that it really started taking hold. Other things needed to take root before democracy could. The British for instance developed ideas such as common law, a parliament of peers, etc. long before the vote was given to the common people. Rule of law and equal administration of the law was important, as was a free press and a cultural disdain for corruption. Britain had a head start on all of this as well, due to the magna carta, which is why the countries founded by British settlers went on to be stable and prosperous nations. If you take a culture with no history of democracy, a largely illiterate population, and a culture based on a violent anti-democratic religion like Islam, and try to force democracy on them, democracy will not thrive. TL:DR - It took Europe thousands of years to develop functioning democracy, beating it into a barbarian culture in a few months is obviously not going to work.
  25. Isn't the entire point of the Asari that they are a single sex race that telepathically appears as attractive to males of other species as a mating function, like the reason we see them as tentacle headed blue humans is because we are human, to Turians and Salarians they appear as attractive tentacle headed blue Turians and Salarians?
