It wasn't as good as Westworld but I still enjoyed the awesome 70's vibe. IMO Futureworld has a number of problems with it. Yul Brynner really shouldn't have been in it (his dream sequence serves no point) and the story itself is kind of half-baked. Its okay if you like 70s sci-fi, it has a lot of that look and vibe; its more LOGAN'S RUN feel than WESTWORLD though. I've watched it a few times and its enjoyable in its way, but its not really a patch on Westworld. I'd also recommend skiping the TV Show BEYOND WESTWORLD unless you're a fan of James McMullan or Connie Sellica. Or unless you want to see a show where the meglomaniacal villain goes from working with dozens of robots out of his TV-Budget James Bond Lair in the beginning to working with a single hinch-robot out of a Winnebego by the end.

Refresh time. See the new thread.

I watched the LAST JEDI again and I still don't see what all the hate is about. Then again I didn't get the hate for Phantom Menace either, I think structurally TLJ is better than TPM. And that's not saying that I don't think TJL has problems, but the fan backlash against it is, IMO, far greater than the amount of problems it has. If anyone wants to check my Star Wars street cred, I watched the original movie in a drive-in theater on the original release.

Alternatively we all could choose to quit derailing the topic by creating posts where we try to figure out why someone has personal taste if we all wished. Its a crazy idea, but it just might work.

I honestly would feel terrible about that, as much as the government pained me I would loathe to see a single building that stood the test of time and has so much history be torn down for another ****ing McDonalds. It's not going to be a single building, it's gonna be every building. Cuba will end up a giant shopping mall with every bit of history wiped away to make way for fast food and retail stores. Could end up like it is in the UK where the McDonalds is in a 300+ year old building that was once a pub.

I could never take the Legion seriously after Nipton and Vulpes Inculta telling you what they did to the town. If you say their crimes are unforgivable, then Vulpes says "As are all crimes. If you feel strongly about it, attack us, and soon you won't feel a thing." And then you attack him and kill him and all the Legion that becomes hostile, and then Ceasars legion is all huffy about it, but the dude TOLD me to attack him, I can't help it if he and his losers were too weak to stand up to me (and isn't your philosophy halfway to 'might makes right' anyhow, so why doesn't MY might make me right)?

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere, but I didn't see it...:

Nope. Never been a big demo player.

In the example where she's sitting in the seat, she's not actually a participant in the crime, she happens to be in a location with the criminals. She might as well be a hitchhiker for all it matters In the example where she's crossing the border or holding a gun in her hand, despite the fact that she's being told to do that by parental authority figures, she's still an active participant in the crime even though due to her age she probably doesn't have a formed adult judgement to understand what she's doing (if young enough). Or something.

I'm not sure your analogy works; if the "crime" is entering the US illegally, then Sally committed the "crime" with her parents. You could then argue lack of choice, etc. but I just think the analogy breaks apart since in your example Sally holds no part of the criminal act (I guess you could say the parents put a gun in Sally's hands and told her to point it at the butler and squeeze the trigger if he moved to make her a part of the crime in a similar way, but what a rabbit hole...) I suspect most people who are upset think that what is supposed to happen is whatever was happening before Trump's new whatever is happening started happening.

I'd love to see both the Libertarian and Green parties actually viable in local, state and federal elections; short of abolishing the party system (what I'd prefer to happen) having more viable parties can break the stranglehold the democrats and republicans have on government. But my point was, in a theoretical sense as I understand it, the right-libertarianism in the US tends to only support the military, police, courts (and sometimes firefighters) as necessary government (to protect personal liberty and personal property) and occasionally, the executive and legislative branches depending on where they're at in the libertarian spectrum. So while it is true a libertarian approach wouldn't be pro-banning books from a library, my understanding is that they wouldn't actually be pro-library either.

...Tetris...

Pretty sure that Indivisible is a platformer / Party based RPG hybrid game. Made by the same people who made Skullgirls. I've been looking forward to it for some time.

Would there be libraries to ban books from under libertarianism? I know some libertarians support local government more than state or federal government in the US, but wouldn't funding libraries from even a local government be in conflict with personal autonomy? I suppose you could be arguing that libraries would be privatized and supported by benefactors who choose to share their resources?

There are certainly lower barriers to entry, and with digital cameras the ability to do higher quality image (compared to the days of 35 & 70 mm hollywood films and 16 or 8 mm for ultra low budget affairs). But lets face it most of indie film-making where risks are taken are passion projects by people who push them through to completion and very few of those will get any kind of real distribution or genre material - like horror films - that are, in their way, evergreen. And even then the majority of films are going to be lucky to get shown through festivals, much less a wider distribution platform. At this point distribution is (IMO) the problem with getting riskier material, theaters don't want to risk showing it, distributors don't want to risk distributing it even if some enterprising filmmaker makes it on their own dime.

I'm not claiming its new, just that it is. While you could argue that Hollywood became more risk averse as they moved more and more into the blockbuster era, the truth is that they've been risk averse from the beginning - its a popular medium which has to appeal to wide audiences. Even when the studios owned the cinemas that showed the movies or were able to force distribution through block scheduling, risks were taken on personal projects by people with the influence to get them made, not as a regular thing.

Fixed that for you.

Since the last update from the developers indicated there'd be more details on the DLC at an unspecified later date, the initial question -if the level cap will increase in the expansions- cannot be answered. As the speculation has drifted away from PoEII and its DLC, I'm locking the thread. The topic perhaps should be revisited after Obsidian posts more information about BEASTS OF WINTER.

It should be pointed out that in GOD'S OF EGYPT the world is flat and the sun is a barge, so it's relation to the real world is minimal regardless of who was cast in it. That said someone probably could have kept the casting frim being an issue with some easy forethought...

A bit STARSHIP TROOPER, innit?

What's not to like about an alternate dystopian future for the Marvel U? They have a few already (Age of Apocalypse, Days of Future Past, Cable's future, Bishop's future, Machine Man's future, Original Guardians of the Galaxy future, Earth-X off the top of my head)

Technically I think its "Little Person" now. As far as action movies, why try to top Weng Weng? Nah, I'm sure He-Man fanboys whined about appropriation back then as well, they just didn't have the internet to amplify their outrage. Also lol at the idea of Doom cannon. Have you read Masters of Doom? Story wasn't exactly a sacred cow at id. Mostly the complaints were about giving She-Ra the Horde as villains (in the toys, Hordak and the Horde are He-Man villains). But even that complaint is a bit begrudgingly made because She-Ra the toyline really only had Catra as a villain. Thor still existed while Jane Foster was Thor. Now that Jane Foster is dead, Thor is back as the main character in the Thor books. Spider-Man has only ever been replaced by his clone, Ben Reilly and briefly mind swapped with Otto Octavious as part of a long story-line. All the other Spider-characters (The Spider-Women (Jessica Drew, Gwen Stacey, Julia Carpenter, Mattie Franklin, Charlotte Witter), Miles Morales, Silk, etc) were separate characters OR alternate universe versions of an existing spider character (Peter Porker the Spectacular Spider Ham, et al)

Seems to me there might still be an issue worth looking at and since the save games are there, no need to delete the thread (unless you're deleting the save files).
