They cancel it?
Dropped it a few episodes in
Not yet. It's' been struggling with the direction it's taken this season and its terrible time slot. But after tonight, it's going to be a moot point.
Friday death slot
Enjoyed those early eps but had a feeling

Bill Mahr did a Sarah Palin Rap song using her clips and a beat for a hot 8 bars or so tonight
Goddamnit I'm sitting in my living room watching Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 at 1:30 in the morning.
Flint is a Jesus analogue. He was borne down the river by sentient marshmallows.
Wait holy shit he is literally their God. This is fantastic. The white man comes into food territory with his poisoned offerings.
Damn some soylent green shit about to go down.
A bunch of people died horrible deaths in this movie.

Malyse is trying to stay in the top 500 on KHUX, so Malyse will be scarceGlad I read this thread just for this gif.
Also, for this Instagram I'm beating Malyse to posting GOOD GOD DAMN HOLY FUCK(NSFW and not a scary page like last time).
Also, https://www.instagram.com/p/6waISqNxo1/.(NSFW)
you think that shit is awkward, wait until the episode where the real woman comes on the ship
I have never cringed so hard at a TV show in my life
I love that the episode pulls back and acknowledges the situation is the creepiest thing ever.
The most interesting thing that was said was it was the correct version of the thing dc attempted. That is interesting, this might mess up some public perceptions.

My 12 year old is annoying the hell out of me. Makes me want to accelerate to 18 and break out the Uncle Phil on him.
When did Martin Freeman become a big name? Even with the hobbit movies, I've seen very few people who actually know who he is.
He's not MASSIVE, but he's a well known quantity - especially in Europe. He's more of a character actor than a leading man, but I doubt they'd put someone with lead roles in stuff like The Hobbit, Sherlock and Fargo under his belt in some minuscule role. Especially given the character's significance within the Priest run of BP.

It's about past time we revoke Bill Clinton's status. He's nu black, at best.
He's not any part of black in any way. He's a racist old white man who shows how racist he is the moment black people decide to step out of line.
Oh yeah, I caught that episode yesterday. My parents are the ones keeping up with that show so I had to ask them if it was the series finale.
Civil War reviews starting to come in...
Reading through them now. Spider-Man and Black Panther getting a lot of hype.
Sherlock.
its funny how some GAF threads are empathetic as fuck. Like they totally relate to the people in the OP.
and then other times they completely can't relate........
....
......
'I can totally relate to pretending to be a nazi.'
'hi we don't really have racism where I am from, what is this? can you explain racism to me?'

Raped at an young age, she confronts her rapist in jail. Learned about the Nirvana outcome.
only posts i ever see from you are racism this or that.
You trying to be Dollar General JC up in here
Nah just making a reference to a post unless that's JC's MO which in that case, yes.
Slay don't have time to remember what every one of his fans says.
Slay too Hollywood, I forgot.
Pretty early on so far, but it seems perfectly average. Need to read more though.
Hehehe😁
Manga?
It's super shonen. If you like book spell combat,wanting to be hokage,Sasuke like rival,being in guilds etc. Takes from other shonen but is surprisingly massacre happy

If he's being borne down the river, isn't that more of a Moses analogue?
In the end, yeah, he's God.
I'm not sure about /all/ the death. I suppose the bad guy had to kill some of the
sentient food
the main villain getting offed
Overall, not as good as the first, but still a good time.

Preach. I've always scratched my head at the whole "Bill Clinton was the first black President" shit that got tossed around a lot when I was kid. Like cause this dude played the saxophone on Arsenio Hall show? ...okay I guess.
guys, I think I love Guild Wars 2
like I can't remember another MMO that gave me such a sense of adventure and exploration, that is backed up by the game mechanics
like they reward you for exploring, and for taking part in events that just happen around you in the game world, and there's whole areas that they don't tell you about with NPC dialogue or quests or anything, and it actually feels like a multiplayer MMO because of the way they have things set up, instead of just a single player game where you occasionally see other people around
so I'm in GW2 this morning and I'm going around doing the equivalent of quests (which are really just areas where you kill enemies or complete small tasks to get xp and rewards), and events are happening all over the place
I'm at this huge volcano area, and I'm just messing with my inventory and these vendors, around this camp. Suddenly a bunch of crab enemies invade the camp (this has effects like contesting the waypoint so you can't travel to it, the enemies will knock out NPCs so you can't talk to them, etc) and the players in the area fight it off. this starts like an event chain where you're fighting around and inside the volcano, tons of enemies and players everywhere, good stuff.
Then as I reach the middle of the volcano crater and hit the waypoint, I see there are like 60 players just chilling. I ask what's up and apparently the event chain will lead to a world boss fight spawning in about 20 minutes. So that's cool. I leave and go do some more stuff, fight through the other side of the mountain, climb up to the very top to hit a viewpoint for some exploration progress and a nice view.I head back around to the waypoint, because it was contested and I had to fight my way to it instead of warping there. Then the boss spawns and dozens of people just do this full-on boss fight that you can just walk to and join in, it's not at the end of a dungeon or anything.
Get my loot, look at my map, see there's an area in the unexplored section of the map where a scout I talked to said there was stuff to do. As I'm walking around the mountain I see another event pop up because I'm close to it, saying "defeat the Keeper of Light". So I come around the northeast side of the volcano and there's a little area with a smaller elite demon thing. I figure "sure, why not?" and kill him. A portal opens up behind him. There's no event notification, no quest or anything. I just walk up to it and it asks if I want to go in, even though it's dangerous.
I say yes, it teleports me to this hidden garden area that's not accessible normally but is totally on the world map. I want to be clear here, at no point is there a hint anywhere that this is an area that you can get to. It's not part of the listed exploration goals for the region, there's no overt quest to get there, there's no waypoint for me to get back if I die. The game is just set up to let you explore, come across this fight in your travels if you happen to be close and use the portal to get in there.
There's a big tree up a sort of broken up hill in the middle of the area. I jump/climb my way up there and there's an NPC telling me I can open this sweet chest behind her if I collect these four orbs or whatever. Sky, sea, earth, sun, whatever. This involves me going to different areas and platforming around , beating the occasional enemy while I get these keys. Some of the jumping puzzles are really precarious, too. Like you're jumping from outcropping to outcropping along the side of a cliff, and if you fuck up you're done.
It was an amazing change of pace from the non-stop fighting I'd been doing, and it felt like I had actually discovered something instead of being led there by the hand. It helped that I was the only one in there the whole time, even though I could see multiple portals into the place and anybody could have theoretically showed up. I felt like I had done something even though the gear that dropped from the chest wasn't even for my class. I wasn't even mad because the experience was so cool.
