  1. Was gonna. Was searching for stuff by Frazetta and found this pic of Frazetta. How awesome is that.
  2. And here's Erik Kain's (of Forbes fame) response: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2015/07/21/more-terrible-journalism-erupts-over-new-video-game-sexism-study/ Also relevant, Liana K's video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0qUQGzBmis How many Halo matches did they play, because it says they only created 3 accounts. I would want to try to approach 1000 polls (different games) before trying to make any meaningful comparisons. Also who plays Halo anyways. I have a strong suspicion the ration of 13 year old annoying brats is higher than the mean.
  3. Hippies are generally true idealists, hipsters only care about the cause de jour. And clothes, and hairstyling.
  4. So the deciding factor is IQ ?. What we can eat I mean. Explain why we would have a 'special bond' with other mamals. Doesn't sound very plausible to me.
  5. Well ok, points for that I guess.
  6. Fair warning : it looks pretty dramatic and if you saw 'Free Willie' this is probably not for you. The pilot whale is not an endangered species, the humble tuna fish however, is, due to severe overfishing. So. Why is it we never see any nautical hippies doing after fishermen. It's common knowledge that trawlers ruin the eco system of the seabed. Discuss.
  7. Not much for the idea that you can take most perks several times. It's just going to wind up being slow incremental nonsense, like the gameplay difference between having your special stat raised by one. I like perks that add something specific, like a special attack or ability to chose from additional dialouges, or eat corpses. That kind of thing. Remember that they have to try to please everyone, they want everyone to buy it. The trouble is when you do that you very often wind up with mediocre.
  8. I don't get it, is this irony, niche commentary where true Joker fans method-act heartless barbs into dead artists. You are allowed to steal, as long as you steal from the best. They also need to come up with a new distincitve style. A lot of animated Batman, even stuff I like, kinda looks like crap.
  9. Yes...that would usually be the normal thing to do for someone who actually wants to support and convince others of their outlandish claims, wouldn't it...if the person actually had evidence and didn't instead just blow off anyone who dared question their asininity. I watched an episode of Dirty Jobs about dumpster diving for rotten, half maggot-devoured corpses while preparing food. An ill-advised choice on my part. You might be annoyed at constantly being asked to back up your claims, but there is no good reason why you shouldn't be able to. It's going to take more than stating your conviction to convince anyone after all.
  10. Does it specify whether they are male or female virgins.
  11. Thats what I used, yes. I see now that the joke fails when it's not one of the motorized ones.
  12. They are making it into a movie. whatshisface the old joker who OD on pills (Heath Ledger) stole all his lines from this : http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/07/14/groundbreaking-graphic-novel-batman-the-killing-joke-is-becoming-an-animated-movie-3379090?lt_source=external,manual https://www.reddit.com/r/batman/comments/xksjv/the_jokers_two_scar_stories_and_why_the_dark/
  13. Well the pizza delivery guy gets paid around 21$/h so tipping isn't really necessary. Everyone can live off the average pay alone here as long as they work ~30 hours a week. There absolutely is tipping here. In a resturant with a fancy waiter I mean, not in a Diner type thing, we don't really have that.
  14. How about fitting a custom cooler. It's a bit of a pain to have to void the warranty straight out of the box, but I'll chose less noise every time. I wish they would sell them with a custom cooler already fitted, or maybe manufacturers should always be forced to include fan level and noise specs. I was considering one of these a while ago. http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-displays/cintiq-companion-2 Despite costing as much as a new system give or take, it turns out that they only come with a standard small fast spinning CPU fan and no mobile GFX unit and are extremely noisy. Despite having such a slick high end design, It's for 'graphics professionals' apparently. If Apple were producing something like this you can bet they would have thought a bit more about the consumer experience before letting it pass quality assurance. When ohh when is Wacom going to get some serious competition so ordinary mortals will be able to buy a device like this.
  15. I'm going to go with 'OSs' having for some strange reason spent a few minutes looking it up. An 'OSS' is another acronym, so you only have the lower case as a distinction. You could use apostrophes 'OS's' but that might confuse some people. Would that would make the posessive plural 'OS's'' ? *resisting the urge go go further down the rabbit hole*
  16. Silly question. Can 2d applications make use of superflous video ram, or is it just there to act as a buffer ensuring that as much data is pumped through the pci x16 bus as possible. In other words does it serve any purpose under low load.
  17. Why is Arnold holding the glass like that. So it doesn't look like he's flexing ?
  18. I'm kinda curious about the phrase 'he gave them drugs'. That's not exactly the same as 'drugging' someone, which implies lack of concent and maliciousness. Which is it ?
  19. For a moment it seemed like it was going to go all Hollywood with a happy ending, I'm glad it didn't.
  20. Bu huu As long as those 'harassers' don't make threats and do anything IRL, aren't they virually indistinguishable from people you happen to disagree with on the internet. Are you really qualified to call them 'harassers' and are you being fair every time you decide to hand out that label. I have my doubts.
  21. Simon Bisley Richard Corben
  22. Impractical and expensive ?
  23. Who are some of your favs. Bill Sienkiewicz Mike Mignola I've got more of course but I don't want to image spam the first post so badly it can't load propperly.
  24. 25% VAT and a very strong dollar versus the Euro. Yes, it sucks pretty mayjorly right now.
