Seems more like you hit the opposite end of the spectrum. Those movies were good despite a largely untalented group. Besides Ford, can you list any good actors to come out of those movies?

Seriously considering putting this in a sig.

I'm somewhere between that OP and this. If you thumb through the Brute forums, which constantly has someone asking for the BEST FARMER BUILD (despite threads already containing as much in their title), you'd like nothing more than to have it all congealed into one giant mass and shoved away in its own place. On the other hand, that much "SS/Fire iz teh bezt" in one spot might actually open a black hole on the interwebs.

Yeah, JUST that stuff.

I only ask because the offer ends on a Monday, and Tuesdays are usually roll out days. On the off chance that the 30th just happens to be when Freedom goes live, then someone waiting until the 29th will have nearly a complete month of VIP status.

Just wondering is all. And yes, that's all highly speculative.

Its strange you treat free travel to all zones with so little regard, yet you won't just choose a hero or villain alignment in order to obtain A-Merits. Obviously, there is something so good about being in the gray area that makes the trade-off justified, otherwise, you'd just pick a side.

Please, can we not all agree these are just photos of him holding up a plastic sheet between the camera and the boat? This does nothing towards actually making anything invisible or doing any kind of research. I'm beginning to wonder if his warp drive presentation is nothing more than using a watch that runs slow to make you're travel time appear shorter.

Hmm, I haven't listened to this one in the car yet... such an excellent idea.

Back in my college days, this one would quadruple my chances for a speeding ticket: Foo Fighters' Everlong.

edit:

Also, keeping in theme with Deadmau5, VH1 by Linus Loves, Road to Recovery by Midnight Juggernauts, and Swing Tree by Discovery would make for some good driving tunes.

For a change of pace, Two Weeks by Grizzly Bear works for a nice mellow mood.

No, he's just nuts. Or a flat-out fraud. After seeing that video, I'd call into question any "science" blog that gives him credit.

I don't think you're catching the argument people are making.

Personally, I like watching a story unravel the way the author intended. Knowing what happens before hand, having the plot twists revealed from outside sources, anything like that; it taints the build up that's intended.

Just because Shammylammy drove a concept into the ground doesn't make Sixth Sense any less brilliant. There was plenty of character development, plot build up, and suspense outside the twist at the end, that the movie could have ended without it and still be a good movie. The plot twist at the end was what made it a great movie. It made you look back at the whole movie with a new perspective. You'd never be able to have that experience if it was spoiled.

Some people would rationalize that knowing a whole experience before you go through it would make it better or doesn't affect the experience itself, but it always sounds like BS. To me, they just come across as people with no real sense of adventure. If you have to know everything before you can try something, what's the point of bothering?

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Confirm half of the achievements listed for that guy, and THEN we can start talking about being close to something that looks similar to "probable."

Your straw man argument isn't nearly as clever as you'd like to think. Even if you could remember every detail of the movie flawlessly (and I'm extremely doubtful you of all people could), it's your memory. It is not the movie itself, and even if it was, your memory would fall under personal use.

I have to ask, though, why do you bother starting threads asking questions you obviously already have a stubborn (illogical) conclusion to. Just state your opinion and let's lose any insinuation that you're really looking for open minded discussion.

Or will be purchased through things like Astral/Empyrian Merits. I doubt it will purchaseable with Paragon Points.

Better post your build. You could be walking into a huge mistake with wasted influence and time as your lesson learned.

This depends. Are you going for the soft-cap with a particular number of foes in range of your aura? If so, how many? But yes, it's doable, and usually a little pricey if you don't want a gimped build. But with 121.7 second recharge on Hasten, I think you can consider it perma. a 1.7 second down time... are you really that concerned with closing the gap?

Yes, you can achieve perma hasten without spending billions. You need to achieve 107.5% global recharge bonus, and 3-slot hasten for recharge.

5 LotG's (37.5%) + 5 5% Bonuses (25%) + 6 slotted Mocking Beratement (7.5%) + 4 sets of purples (40%) will get you there (110% total).

You'll just need to farm the hell out of alignment merits to purchase it all.

Well, it's not THAT horrifying when you take the builds they had into consideration.
