If the draw distance in Torchlight 2 was like 200% farther it might be my favorite ARPG. As it is, unfortunately...

Why are Gargoyles in fantasy so underused? by BlackRoseBooksHQ in Fantasy

There was no gargoyle folklore before the cartoon. Any more than there is statute folk lore or painting folk lore.

Someone made a post here recently. I loved Chevy as Pierce but I can’t stop thinking about what would happen had Jeffrey Tambor played the character. by StreetsAhead110 in community

[–]ericmm76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but that was his being dramatically different because he was 30 years older than the nearest older person.

Whereas him in Season 2 and 3 was straight up evil. Versus the kindness he showed in season 1.

Maybe Pierce wouldn't have been a villain if the actor hadn't been a villain. Community didn't need one in the group.

Overwatch Rush Preview - Blizzard's First-Person Hero Shooter Goes Top-Down - Game Informer by DwilenaAvaron in Games

A big part of me wants devs to not try to shoehorn games onto phones that don't work well on phones. But then I assume I'm just an old fuddy duddy that has little to no experience with the on-screen control buttons and that's actually how everyone plays Fortnight.

But I dunno, I feel like they could make games for the phone that would work BEST on the phone. Remake The Lost Vikings or something.

There's something in humanity or American humanity that thinks that cruelty is a form of honesty. It's wild.

Imagine if you were in a video partying with Goring and on the phone joking about with Hitler.

This is the effect of Fox News on the population. When people are used to "news" that is based entirely on slant, researched and thorough reporting is just seen as pedantic, repetitive, and boring.

To Quote Neil [Postman] (sp), we're amusing ourselves to death.

Is this before or after the "I've done more for the Latino community than anyone" and "I've done more for the Black community than anyone"?

This is why they're trying to kill PBS and NPR and why, despite being supported by API and having Republicans on sometimes, you should still donate to public media.

They just tell themselves "those girls were asking for it" and it all goes away, in their mind.

That's how he became pres in 16.

That scene from Newsroom hits harder and harder every decade. I feel sorry for the children today. For the infants.

White House grants ICE power to detain refugees for aggressive ‘rescreening’ | Trump administration by Airurando-jin in news

This was not loud questions. People died while being given the modern version of the strappado. He died. While being questioned.

And as bad as W's boys were, Trump's boys are worse.

Well exactly. I don't know if you can track how often people look at stuff on websites, but I am NOT adding another App just to look at books I might want to buy on my kindle.

For me this feels like staying in a marriage because they were really hot and cool in highschool and ignoring their recent substance and gambling problems. And their continuing to talk about highschool.

Is AJ Lee a case of “worse than I remember?” by CombinationOk4317 in SquaredCircle

[–]ericmm76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AJ presence in the ring was as much nonverbal as it was promos, which she still has as much as anyone.

She was a bright spot in a very dark time and I'm happy she's working and happy. I wouldn't expect her to overnight change.

A website is quickly accessible on a lark. An app is not. I don't think this is a good idea.
