  1. TIL I can be super flirty if I feel like it. Hope it doesn't come around to bite me in the ass though.
  2. " I was born the day the Traveller died."

  3. A music video by Pixar? You bet your ass it's worth watching.
  4. omg does this one revive the thread
  5. Those people exist? F those guys. If he comes up in ep 8, it will be as part of memory sequence, either as part of Luke's or Kylo Ren's memory, or even both. Han was a smuggler and a womanizer and a rogue but the idea was that he had a heart of gold that cared at the end. random tangent... how long do wookies live? Chubacca must be hella old too.
  6. "And it's not just the Republicans. Hillary will have to raise huge sums of money too." - Obama Obama's Anger Translator- "Oh yes. She's gonna get that money. She's gonna get all the money! Khaleesi is coming to Westeros."
  7. A real life dragonfly is a bug. And nothing but. Dragon in its name is nothing but a fancy and has nothing to do with dragons. The Japanese name for dragonfly is tonbo. Dragon is ryu. It has no silly association with dragons precisely because there is none. The amount of 'deserving' in this case is exactly zero and a bug/flying type it should remain. On the other hand, asian cultures have erroneous pegged sea horses as baby dragons- hence Kingdra's dragon type. This is also incredibly false, despite the lore and mythos behind it. But we all know GameFreak is incredibly ethnocentric and cares only for the core Japanese fans, as firmly established by every special event they have done. Ever. The end.
  8. If Cruz is more moderate that Trump, then Cruz is in a bad place because Trump is an extremist piece of shit. And I don't say that lightly. It might even be the understatement of the year. If Trump gets the Republican candidacy, then the Republicans are sure to lose the presidency. You have no idea the depths of loathing I will have for you if you vote for Trump. NO FUCKING IDEA. Words cannot convey.
  9. Tfw Princess Mononoke is better than you remember.

  10. Because the Taken King opening cinematic was epic AF. And more games of me kicking butt.
  11. rotater cone? That's r7 territory. I don't mess with that.
  12. No no, I know his character is supposed to be conflicted and all that baggage but he has the facial emotional range of that chick from Twilight. Okay, not as bad, but it's bad. I know because I was watching him specifically throughout the whole movie. His acting is just fine. Until he takes off the mask and then he's just complete weaksauce from there. Driver just doesn't fit the role at all. I know his character is supposed to be young and prone to emotions but he really does just come off as some angsty teen who kills people instead of turning to cigarettes and shit. I ain't salty that Han died because poor Ford is getting old. Driver just is... bad. I have no clue what he had done before this, so whatever he has done does not color my view of him now so I have to skeptically wonder if he does that for people familiar with him from before. I'm sure a lot of hardcore nerds are saltier that we didn't get to see his defection to the darkside as another movie. --- I read an article wondering about Mace Windu's light saber. It's purple and many fan theories were wondering if that was a sign that he was part dark and light and whatnot. It wasn't the case. Samuel L. motherfucking Jackson just wanted a purple lightsaber so he could stand out and see himself easily in the mass fight scene. It still looks badass. Which is a tangent from the main reason I'm posting in here again: What it means to bring balance to the force. The light side is about coldness, reason, restraint, logic. My kind of dudes. The dark side is about the power of emotions. Anger, hate, sadness... and happiness. Yes, happiness. You think you know what it means to become a Jedi? Think again. As it stands, the Jedi were at their own extreme of cold logic. The dark side sith were always self-gratuitous, selfish. There has never been a middle path. I think a true balance of the force is an order that mixes both emotion and reason. Application of force (emotion) as directed by intellect (knowledge) is the key to true balance and ultimate power. Vader never had it. Luke might see glimpses of it now. Fan theories talk about how it would have made sense for him to have gone to the dark side and actually been Kylo Ren. So Luke has experienced both the light and dark side of the force. After his failure with his nephew, he secluded himself. Perhaps after all this time, he has found this secret, this balance. He probably had to have time to think to himself, 'How and why both sides of the force exist." Vader was seduced by the good the power of the dark side could supposedly do. What could the power of the dark do if directed in 'good' ways instead of 'evil'? But it will be up to Rey to try to learn it from him. Luke's time will likely be over before the end of the new trilogy. But one way or another, mark my words, a true balance will finally be found at the end of them. This is my prediction.
  13. No no, he DOES look like he has a cold. Incidentally, the scarf and sweater combo doesn't help to dispel this idea. You also look like someone ready to rob a bank or someone's house. =P
  14. Describe your aesthetic and I might be able to help you. Cold requests will get you random stuff, like with poor derpy up there. Another Fire Emblem image that makes me think of Gore.
  15. If you haven't seen Log Horizon, you're missing out.

      Saw both and wish there was a season 3... Not quite in my top 10 list, but definitely one of my favorite series.

    3. Joker

      It's in my queue

      I intend to think about watching it after I have less random backlog

      As one who quite liked most of SAO it certainly interests me

  16. Next time you anger a hideous cosmic monster, make sure it's a smaller one. Cayde-6
  17. Does anyone else feel like Kairi is like the Heart kid from Captain Planet?

      wait till she becomes a badass Key-blade wielder, like Aqua, in KH3!

      We can only hope, Cepheus.

  18. I think Kylo Ren as a character has some potential but I don't like who they picked to act the part. It wasn't a spoiler thing, it was something you saw coming pretty early on as you watched it.
  19. That buff was before. That buff isn't sufficient enough now.
  20. I liked it. Thought it was a bit short though. It definitely follows along the same plot lines as the original trilogy. I don't like who they picked for Kylo Ren. He has zero resemblance to Han or Leia. And the amount of acting ability he shows sure as hell doesn't overcome this. We all knew who was gonna die in this movie. It wasn't a surprise at all. But now I'm really curious as to where they're taking things after this.
  21. The nice thing about the profile is that it doesn't have a size limit or a scroll necessity so that you can see the whole picture in one piece.

  22. I feel like with all the buffs to everybody else, Ike was left in the dust. He's got so little going for him now, it's sad.
  23. Hit rank 5 in Iron Banner with hunter. Warlock should quickly follow suit and then I can get to working on my titan.

  24. Not that I pay attention to this thread at all and this might have been posted in here before, but this is what the failbook dragged in.
