I liked Prometheus but I'll admit that it has some problems with it - some significant. I don't see it as the horrible violation of the series that many do, though (hey, I'd already seen AVP2 by that point, which is IMO the nadir of the related films so far). I watched IT FOLLOWS (2015) over the weekend. An interesting indie horror film. It plays against horror conventions, instead concentrating on a rising dread and creepiness factor over excessive gore or multiple jump scares. I can see some people going "that's supposed to be scary?" just because it is atypical in its way, so appreciation of the film might hinge on how hooked the viewer gets into the nightmarish quality of the narrative and central conceit. Also saw Airplane! (1980) for the umpteenth time - "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."

PoE a little last night. Can't wait to get back to it.

Mostly trying to inject some humor. Or some solipsism. Whatever.

Ditto. I might not have pledges as much if I hadn't planned to play the game, but I love what Obsidian does and would have been willing to pledge even if the game didn't appeal to me necessarily.

Well, can you prove that Russia is actively involved in Ukraine and Nigeria is holding elections? Posting news articles doesn't prove it, all that proved is that there are people CLAIMING these things are happening, but there is no proof they are. Heck there's no objective proof that Russia, Ukraine or Nigeria even exist. I can't even prove you posted the response I'm responding to, nor can you prove I posted this. Solipsism FTW!

If memory serves me, this was a segment of the original Banana Splits Adventure Hour.

The Irwin Allen shows always had the best themes (courtesy of Johnny Williams):

Checkmate!

Same. And this: Oh, hahah - I haven't seen those titles in ages!

My weekend as a kid in the 70s usually included this: and this

Okay, so I liked Moonlighting, but I can't say I ever liked the theme song for it.

It was a fun cop show - watched it re-runs a lot.

I'll just leave this here then...

http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/70877-and-now-a-sneek-peek-at-the-making-of-poe-documentary/ The sneak peak at the Making of POE Documentary. EDIT: It portray's Obsidian's situation as pretty grimly at the time of the kickstarter.

Yeah, it strikes me as odd too. Me I'm just happy we're going to have Obsidian around given the stark tale of the documentary snippets, much less the game (which I will also be happy to play whenever it is that I play it).

If it wasn't for us there wouldn't be a game. So I guess we always have that over the plebs.

Not Voltaire. IIRC both of Voltaire's most famous equotes are misattributed as he never said the 'defend your right to disagree' one either, that was a... biographer? I think. (Ironically the best sourcing for the first quote is supposedly a white supremacist convicted of child pr0n offences) Evelyn Beatrice Hall in The Friends of Voltaire (1906) as a way to illustrate Voltaire's beliefs.

Who knew I'd live to see the day where an academic paper quotes one "Pariah Pottymouth" in its contents... :D

Even an old woman Ethel was a young woman Ethel once...

Nero Wolfe is great, classic mysteries. Can't recommend it too highly. Currently watching the Canadian mystery series MURDOCH MYSTERIES first season which is okay. Sometimes not terribly subtle but I like the idea - even if it's sometimes stretched out of shape- of cutting edge science being used.

"Hello, I'm Albus Sexwithgandalf, of the North Dunland Sexwithgandalfs." Really I play names by ear; I have a few common ones I use but often I just let the lore/world/character speak to me.

Dave the unemployed dreamer who thinks that he can just grab a sword and run around in some random caves and whack some monsters and grab some loot so that he won't be 'the unemployed' anymore but "the rich bastard everyone hates because he's all 'look at me, I'm rich and have goblin heads in my dining room and all you do is weave baskets or whatever'"
