  1. It's quite good I think, high production value as can be expected from HBO
  2. This is the funniest film Ive seen in years. Absolutely brilliant!
  3. Ill be using computer magic to watch it later today. (which is quasi-legal since I do pay for Canal+ who airs everything HBO does in scandinavia, but with a six month delay)
  4. The thing with MMO's is that very few people have time to play more than one, and the total number of MMO players is relatively fixed, so in order to compete you need to steal players from other MMO's. Its not like normal games, where you play one game one weekend and then another the next. Think of it as a cake, where the only chance of you getting a bigger piece is if someone else gives up a portion of his. And Blizzard is the biggest, meanest, toughest guy in the room... that also happens to have claimed 3/4ths of the cake as his.
  5. The thing is, WoW has a +90% market share and is showing no signs of losing players to others games. The other MMO's like Eve online are making money, but only about enough to cover their costs. The asian MMO's might be an exception, but they're not exactly reaping gold over there.
  6. When will people learn that trying to steal a piece of blizzards pie, is like trying to wrestle a great white shark with your hands tied to your ankles. Hopefully, this is the last nail in the coffin of the MMO boom.
  7. Yo Im real happy for you an imma let you finish, but my reply is way better than eveyrone elses. 1) No, a nation state cannot survive without without a dominating language and/or culture. When friction between the different peoples becomes high enough, it will fracture into smaller regions without fail. Yugoslavia is a great example. 2) The lesser cultures will, and must be assimilated into the majority culture. A group that refuses to adapt will become outcasts, like the jews or gypsies.
  8. Better off Ted is exactly like Arrested Development. An absolutely brilliant show that has a zillion rabid followers, but who mysteriously gets cancelled and then goes on to sell a zillion DVD boxsets and gets aired all over the world. Im beginning to think Rupert Murdoch just doesnt want people to be happy. -Yes, hehlo Kevin Reilly speaking. -Hiya Kev, its Ruuupert. Listen I heard ya got this bleedin new show thats got everyone knickers in a bunch, and I dont like it. -Really, sir? -Indeed, Kev. See, there is only one thing I hate more than spending money, and that is laughter. -Laughter, sir? -Well, to be more precise it's the tought of other people enjoying themselves, 'having a good time' and what not. -Uhu? -Anyway, Kev. What I meant to say is; be a good boy and close the bloody thing down or Ill have yer balls fed to the dingoes. -But we're making millions, sir. -Kev, let me repeat that, mate. Your balls. Fed. To the dingoes. -Oh. Consider it cancelled, sir. -That's a good lad, Kev. See you at the christmas party.
  9. You're a sick bastard-ess. The truth is that, contrary to popular opinion, every single monty python sketch is great. They range from great to so enourmously genial that it makes your pants hurt. Like this sketch that most people just dont get.
  10. Are ye daft, man?! The very reason the BBC can do political satire and so on is because they're goverment funded and thus independant. They dont have to go out of their way to make sure their stuff isnt offensive to the companies paying for commercials or the owner of the network.
  11. The goal of the right wing is not, nor has it ever been, to make life better for the majority of the people. It's about making sure that the wealthy can hold on to their wealth, and generate even more wealth. But the term "wealthy" is relative, it can be anything from the middle class and up depending on the situation. -Unemployment is good because it makes people desperate enough to accept low wages and poor working conditions -Deficit is good because the money the goverment borrows and spends increases bussiness output, and they debt is the goverments problem -Productivity is not important, profits are important -Poverty is good because it lowers the cost of labour, thus making production cheaper and profits larger. -Health insurance for everyone is bad, because poor people get sick often and cant afford to pay the high premiums
  12. Every single Chuck Lorre sitcom: "Have you seen my shoes?" "No." *laughtrack*
  13. That show is made and written by the exact same guys who do "2
  14. There are plenty of really brilliant comedy shows in the US. Like 30 Rock, Community and so on.
  15. About a dozen, give or take a few that werent technicly kings at the time of their unnatural departure.
  16. He wrote a rude email once, and for that he will never ever be able to visit the real disneyland, go to mardi gras or pee in lake michigan. Id say thats pretty excessive. What if he grows up to become an awesome scientists and some dudes go all like "Dude, you can totally come to our university in America and cure cancer" and he'll be all like "Nah, I sent an angry email forty years ago so Im gonna stay here and research fish&chips instead." It could happen, and it would be your fault. If you send an email threatening to behead our king and poop in his pants, the guys at the royal IT department would just delete it and go have coffee. You know, the sensible thing to do. Sure, they might forward it to the cops first, who in turn would delete it and then go have coffee aswell.
  17. Ah, the casual narrowmindedness of the contemporary Bourgeoisine. How quaint. Perhaps you should go watch some overrated conformist degenerate stuff dead animals in formaline then, if you cant handle the buttermilk.
  18. But it does violate the unwritten internet rule of freedom from consequences. And the response was grossly dispropportionate, the white house staff should just have sent him a reply telling him to "Dude, STFU". ..also, those photos are art, you friggin' philistine.
  19. First of all, the internet is designed from the ground up as a special place that is secluded from reality. Information wants to be free, and users want to be free of consequences of their virtual actions. It should take more than a few mouseclicks before you're banned for life from an entire country. And free travel across borders is kind of a fundamental democratic schtick. Its what the EU is all about for example
  20. The white house must gets thousands of these emails every day, how come they singled out this guy for punishment?
  21. DAMNIT!
  22. I clicked on that link expecting to hear hardcore and got this horrible techno bull****. I demand an apology for this intentional mislead, and no, I refuse to accept that the term can apply to several different subgrenres of music.
  23. I think segways are subsidized in the UK, so it shouldnt have been that expensive. ..also, Mkreku was born and raised in Lappland and can attest to its extreme Swedishness. Even the parts that norweigans and finns may claim as theirs (which they totally are not)
  24. Lappland is in northern Sweden, you poohead. And for your information, they do have delicious cheeseburgers there aswell. Which they dont have in Finland were you only eat cucumbers and disgusting pirogi... pirogies? Pirogs? Pirogmoly? And no, I dont use anti-finnish cream more than once or twice a week. Yeah, I bet its new. Like real new. So new you can taste what the cow ate for breakfast. I bet it looks awesome when you're 'cruising' around on your motorcycle *cough* Segway! *cough*
  25. Thats Jeremy Clarkson archenemy, isnt it?
