Regarding this...

It looks a lot like Hotline Miami and the soundtrack sounds too much like it* but it should be good. Hopefully they can nail the duel wielding. * It should be more like this:

Perfection.

Yeah. The Doom still reigns in Valyria even after 400-500 years (~300 of Targ rule with ~100 before Aegon conquered Westeros). The place got blighted and still remains a danger for people to go into. Regarding dragons, there may still be more in the Far East in the lands beyond Asshai. Anyways, fuck the King. That was a nice good start to the season. The little part before the opening sequence started was nice and made my blood boil. Such is the Song of Ice and Fire. At least I got Dorne to love.

I think the main reason would be is that we do not know much about Southeros besides its covered in rainforest and the like, and is dangerous as hell. Sure we know that some cities dot the coast but that is pretty much it. Same can be said of the Summer Islands (Not as much) and Ulthos (Continent southeast of Asshai). We need to know the topography, stony building material or any geologic resources that these people may be around. Edit: Also notice how they only covered a portion of Essos. I think the main reason is to avoid the Doom. We know enough to do something with Slaver's Bay but even I would avoid Valyria. That would be quite a gap in the map. Hell, even now I would be hard pressed to come up with something for the Doom. Shit is odd.

So I did catch myself. Good to know. +1 Mighty to Ethan.

While South Africa may have a high break-in rate and I may empathize (Sympathize?) with him for feeling powerless... Revan got my sentiment. There is also a thing called verbal warning. There is at least an audio cue. Totally wrong flow to reach for the conclusion of shoot to kill.

If there are mountains, rivers and valleys, you bet that we geologists will be on it! To be fair, the mid-ocean ridge and the thrust/subduction seems to be kind of odd but overall... Old gods and the new, eat rock and magma.

So pretty much none of the bullshit that was the DS1 port. Honestly people will be reaching for a major complaint with the lighting. Edit: Actually, go to 16:30 and compare it with the earlier lighting. That is really weird. The torch/lantern projected lighting at 16:30 but not the one earlier. Maybe it is in there in part.

No and I learned that HBO was free yesterday for the premiere. I think I'll be sailing the high seas again till I get the blu-rays.

I'm pretty sure even the folks across the pond in /r/gardening uses zucchini. I personally never heard of the term "courgette".

While there is nothing much yet due to the embargo on the PC version, but stuff coming through the cracks seems to indicate a much better PC version this time around. No idea if the lighting thing is a thing or not but we'll see in a few days.

I should have checked my financial aid last year... This quarter I am potentally quite fucked. Should of accepted a lot more loans...

I bought that day one after I saw it in action. Totally worth it. Bonus points if you like those 80's, early 90's HK action movies and/or understand Cantonese. Last game that i recall had Cantonese was Driver. Dean, after a while you'll find out why cars are deemed as weapons.

I'm disappointed. Must be the wings since it is known that Apple Jack is best pony. She can make hard cider dammit.

After some recommendations, I've started Magi. Not bad I think. It got the potential to scratch the itch of Fullmetal Alchemist and that is saying something. It got a pretty vibrant world with wonderful design with both locations and characters. So far pacing is good (At episode 5) with no real slow downs. The only real negative, I suppose (?), is how white/Asian washed the characters are. Everybody is pale skinned even though pretty much everyone so far is based off of Arabs, Indians, Africans, Steppe people (Mongols) and China. No hints of Roman, Greek (They're kind of tannish though) or other European civilizations yet. Not like its hindering my enjoyment of the series but come on. I know there is a manga and I hope it really doesn't get strung out. I know I can read the manga but I know how I am with manga (I will kill it in no time at all if I like it). So yeah, I hope the manga concludes relatively soon because I really don't want to be a slave to a 100+ episode series (It also kills most shonen series). So far its sitting at 50 episodes (25x2 seasons) with a side story OVA. I'm going to use this first season and its manga equivalent to gauge how I like its progress before I totally commit. Oh yeah, it got a wonderful OST too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1egzmjFMYBs On a tangent... I've caught up on Attack of Titan after a few months break. Cool development and world building but we're never going to plug up Wall Maria and head into that basement until next year at this rate.

Thanks. I feel the love. You're an exception.
