I recently got into watching Rome but knowing that it is based off history kind of brings it down a notch. I don't know why since it isn't that different from say Game of Thrones. If I have to guess, I would guess that it is pretty well known what happens to Caesar. Also the conflict between Mark Anthony and Octavian (Augustus Caesar) is also well known. So nothing major is left unknown. The only thing that is kept suspenseful is the lives of Titus and Lucius. Not to say that it isn't fun watching. It is always nice to see portrayals of the past... even if it may not be the most accurate of depictions. Plus it's about the fucking fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of Roman Empire. What is there not to love?

http://www.bundlestars.com/store/middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=deals+shadowofmordor Shadow of Mordor at $33. Also 33% off the season pass if that is your thing... I'm personally debating but I've been burned enough with that junk to be cautious. Though (eventually) fighting Sauron sounds mighty tempting. Edit: Actually, it is be cheaper (~$28) at Nuuvem. http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/2060-middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor Same goes for the season pass but the saving isn't as much but if you get the Premium Edition then I guess it'll be a bigger saving? I'm too lazy to do the math.

I shouldn't but damn if I am not going to support my man, Dowman Sayman. Also Nichijou.

Nickelodeon is over. The light of life dims a little today.

This is how you kill hype which may be a good thing. Then again, looking at the figure, if that is not saturation then I don't know what is.

by so bad, you mean so awesome right? That was one of my brother and my favourite films when we were young. It wasn't part of my childhood so there is that. I would put it to the good movie thread if it didn't have those slow parts that nearly had me nod off. Either way, it was a surprising movie. Again, love that the gun nut lives. You'd expect that he and his wife would be the first to go.

Tremors Its so bad that it became decent. Also that gun nut and his wife are the best characters. A sand worm bust into your bunker? Spray it full of lead!

Goh, I can't take you that seriously with that name and avatar. So your comment is invalid.

The World of Ice and Fire is dropping in less than two weeks. Super pumped. When it comes to universes I love, nothing compares to the background lore.

If anything pisses me off it is the last chances. Motherfucker I pressed the button on time.

Speaking of which... Today I actually non-lethally shot an Uruk in the face; however, I didn't notice that he was in a middle of a yelling match with lesser orcs. Guess what the lesser orcs did when they saw him stumble? Hint: It sure wasn't looking for who shot the Uruk in the face. Fucking perfect.

Praise the Sun!

I finally got around to Saga volume 3. I was dead tired but I still finished it in one sitting. The pacing and writing is that well done. There is really no wasted panel. The only thing that can taint this series for me if the ending goes to absolute shit. If you guys feel like it, you can get the hardcover volume 1 which collects volume 1-3 of the paperback with some added goodies. It's quite temping for me since it would allow me to lend my paperback copies to friends so that the Gospel of Saga spreads.

He must of had some shitty shoes because if my younger brothers who are/were a lot more fatter than Kim is never broke their ankles then I must really question Kim's shoes or general overall health. I would check his liver.

Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale This is the international version so the film is considerably shorter at 2:30. The original two part-er clocks in at 4:30 apparently. Anyways, this movie is pretty badass. I can't exactly agree with the main character or the culture in certain aspects but yeah. Good watch. I think the two part-er might clarify some stuff better if you have the time. City of Life and Death I think I appreciate this movie better now after a second watch. At first the first part and the latter part kind of clashed with each other but now I think I can see them as together.

The greatest thing to come out from the Hong Kong protests so far. Pfft...

So, I've been having a though experiment after skimming information (So I may be getting a wrong impression) about the Amiga. Might not really pertain to discussion here but I feel it fits best in this thread. The Amiga is a PC but I got the feeling it is closer to the likes of a Mac than a (Windows) PC. Hell, the Amiga feels more like a console than a PC. The basic hardware for each release are more or less the same (So like Macs and sort of like consoles) but it can be upgraded like a Windows PC though it seems like options were rather limited. It was limited enough to force devs to really push the Amiga to its limits, kind of like how devs do with consoles. This became especially so after Commodore went bankrupted in 1994 which only left 3rd party expansions that only put out for another few years. The Amiga thus might be the closest thing to an upgradable but rather closed (for upgradability) gaming platform (Something that I suggested and mused over a few times around here) I know of. It is as if you took a Mac and made it a compromising gap between console gaming and pure PC gaming. I'm not entirely sure how something like the Amiga can work in today's gaming environment since things really changed since the 90's. In my opinion, it could ease the problem with aging hardware (consoles). Last generation was painful towards the end of its cycle (So yes, I would put the long lives of consoles as a negative). Though with devs basing quite a bit on the lowest common denominator (X1...)... eh. It's a crap shoot.

So Attack on Titan. They are going to another basement. Chapter 62... discuss!

Got to love how the media is scare mongering about ebola. Though I will say this: Having ebola raging through Latin America is quite the prospect... it isn't something I ever considered.
