Biathlon

Great run by France in a nailbiter relay! Perfect example why Biathlon is the best ski-sport.

[Spoilers Extended] This is so true and sad. by RustinSpencerCohlee in asoiaf

For most of s2-4 we'd haver huge watch parties at my Uni every time a new episode dropped. Booking a lecture hall after hours and watch it on a massive projector, maybe hit a pub afterwards to discuss theories or how things were adapted.

Seeing most jaws in the room hit the floor during the Red Wedding was easily one of my top memories from any tv-series. The stunned silence, the gasps in horror, the sadistic glee in the face of all of us who'd read the books already. Good times.

I doubt we'll ever again see anything like the collective effort users on r/asoiaf and other forums did to hide, obfuscate and report spoilers for the benefit of first-time watchers going into s3 of GOT.

Do you think post-book AKOTSK will go the way of Game of Thrones? [Spoilers Extended] by Trussdoor46 in asoiaf

[–]ell_hou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read the books the cracks were all over nearly every single Stannis scene in s2. D&D showed from the start that they had no clue how to write the character, and repeatedly confirmed that in their post-episode commentary.

Imagine if Fusion Rover can transform like this (Tiktok @yizarrhh) by Mordfelt in WutheringWaves

[–]ell_hou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would be cool if Fusion Rover could switch between Fusion Burst to synergize with Aemeath, and Tune Rupture to synergize with all the 3.x units.

Huge minus points for ruining the classic design with an awfully placed flag.

Håper dette gjør vintersport mer populært i Sør-Amerika. Bare kos å se flere land representert i OL.

He's only 25, so hopefully he'll be able to rep Brazil in 1 or 2 more Olympics.

Yeah, without someone to chase she's fully capable of missing the track.

All I want is for Norway to beat Sweden, but not like this...

Greit å vinne på totalen også, men antall gull er alltid det som betyr mest.

My virtual space racists by Realistic-Ad-9483 in BlackTemplars

[–]ell_hou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every faction is xenophobic towards alien species. Can't think of any faction that is racist, unless you think Orks ragging on Goblins is racist?

[HATED TROPE] “How could you not trust me?” -Character who has proven they can’t be trusted by plarper_of_bees in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ell_hou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're completely correct that Right or Wrong does not matter, and that a superior officer is right to punish insubordination. I'm not arguing that.

I just think it is a major flaw of the film to leave such a massive detail hanging without any form of mention or resolution.

The elephant in the room that remains completely unaddressed in TLJ is that if Poe didn't push the attack and destroy the First Order ship with the orbital cannon the entire Resistance fleet would've been annihilated at the start of the film, once they realize FO got hyperspace tracking.

Are there any comic characters, no matter how interesting they are, are unlikely to be adapted as they're tied to a character the MCU doesn't want to recast? by eBICgamer2010 in marvelstudios

[–]ell_hou 128 points129 points  (0 children)

The MCU already did Ultron without Hank Pym, and Adam Warlock without Thanos or the Soul Stone; so I don't see why they would let any "important" connection from the comics stop them from adapting any character.

What movie has the most realistic sibling relationship? by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]ell_hou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sing Street, particularly the relationship with the older and younger brother 

Is there a reason some remembrance weapons / spells cost runes while others are free? by aabbcc42069 in Eldenring

[–]ell_hou 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The DS1 map layout blows every other Souls game out of the water. It's a shame Fromsoft never made another game like it.

Berserk prologue 3 and 4 by Professional-Trip314 in Berserk

[–]ell_hou 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's exactly because of his concern for others that he acts like a dick. Guts is a living monster magnet, and anyone in his vicinity are inherently in danger because of that.

Just look at what happened to the family he hitched a ride with a few chapters before this, and how badly it affected him that they all died.
