    I could never really get into GOT. Having read the books before HBO even bought the rights to the series, I imagined the characters and world differently. Even most character names ended up being pronounced differently from how I used to pronounce it. They also took a lot of artistic licence...

    General Discussion Thread of DOOM

    It's the discipline bit that interests me the most. I used to have discipline, but it was more in the form of not doing things than in doing things. I guess I'm just looking for a replacement for the feeling of overcoming oneself. If only physical exercise was as Arnie would describe it:

    But Ali got something out of it. What does the average Joe get? Other than women, I suppose, but any woman who is likely to choose a sexual partner based on his muscle mass isn't one I'm likely to procreate with, so that one goes out the window. But it is practical though, to a point. What...

    Which dev other than Obsidian or Inxile would you pick to make a future Fallout game?

    It seems to me as if both would do equally bad. I doubt I have to explain the faults of BioWare, but as far as CD Projekt is concerned, just look at the MASSIVE downgrade that Assassins Of Kings was in comparison to The Witcher. They show the same degeneracy that BioWare does, but their...

    I saw The Sopranos mentioned earlier on, so I figure this is the thread to give my own mini-rant about it. The series is good, but its main issue is that it doesn't have a single likeable character. The closest thing you actually get to likeable characters are Bobby Bacala, Tony Blondetto and...

    General Discussion Thread of DOOM

    I hope you at least got better depression and stress-wise. Pardon my curiosity, but how do people actually enjoy exercise? I always found it to be excrutiating, how much does one have to exercise to get a kick out of it?

    Rate the above song and post your own.

    3/10 Such music isn't really my cup of tea... so the three is because I laughed at how the guy was seemingly dryhumping the camera. Damn it, this one brings me to tears almost every time.

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    At least I'm not the only one drinking while shitposting on NMA. Cheers. What I found to be the problem with Jackie Brown was that it didn't end up being what it was supposed to be (an homage to blaxploitation movies). But it was a good movie in its own right. The only issue I had with it was...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    I wonder whether this scene truly shows the way Quentin sees movies or if it was just a role he was playing. From what I remember hearing of his interviews about Travis Bickle's racism or Butch's immorality in Pulp Fiction, it might be the former. But the problem remains that his post Jackie...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    I sometimes have a feeling that Django was created in the form that it was created in preciesely because people didn't get the message of Inglorious Basterds. I have a "theory" about the message of Ingorious Basters, but it came about a pretty long time after I actually watched and disliked the...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    I just watched the trailer for The Hateful Eight. It seems to draw inspiration from The Great Silence. Which is not at all a bad thing because The Great Silence is a great movie.

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Reservoir Dogs was a good gangster movie, Jackie Brown too (never really saw the whole "blaxploitation" angle there). He also wrote the script for True Romance. In the 2000s his entire "style" became breaking the 4th wall and "homages". Death Proof is one of his more obscure films but it was...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    I'm puzzled by Inglorious Basterds. Is it supposed to make you prefer the Nazis to the Basterds or not? I hated every Tarantino movie after Jackie Brown. Although some parts of Death Proof were fun when I was adequately stoned.

    What is your favorite TV show?

    Aware of them, but never intentionally made part of them. And all of the Jerry and Beth parts often feel like filler. The only interesting ones I can remember are from the Rick Potion No. 9 episode. The show feels more family-oriented because Rick ends up being the caring grandfather more...

    What is your favorite TV show?

    The whole idea of Beth, Jerry and Summer being in on their adventures just doesn't sit well with me. It seems as if the show is taking a more family-oriented turn. South Park tends to be too preachy for my taste. And their "controversial" humor seems entirely politically correct compared to...

    What is your favorite TV show?

    Rick and Morty is a good show, but the second season doesn't seem to be quite as good as the first. But when it comes to animated sitcoms, Drawn Together definitely takes the crown. Brickleberry is also very good. It's a shame they got cancelled after three seasons.

    do you think there will be more karmic options in fallout 4?

    Another peculiar detail about Tenpenny is that he's supposed to be an Englishman. We also have Moriarty who came with his father from Ireland. So the first question is, since when is intercontinental travel something that happens in the Fallout universe, and the second - why would anyone...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    It seems to me that people who are against gun ownership don't understand the idea of a deterrent. They are like the people who want a world without nukes, withot once taking into consideration that the nukes are what keeps the peace. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people in Europe are...

    Dragon Age Inquisition...

    It does make sense for the inquisition to make an effort to gain favor, but for the head of a political entity to go around finding lost druffalos and playing FedEx? These are the quests the common grunts should be handling. However, when there are actual issues which it might even make sense...

    Dragon Age Inquisition...

    I finished all the hinterlands quests (thinking that at least one of them might be of any significance) and went into the marshes to rescue the kidnapped soldiers. I just got sick and tired of all the boring combat and I don't think I'll be revisiting the game any time soon. Up to that point the...
