Topic | European Union Court rules you can't be blocked from re-selling digital software |
AsurasKordoth 07/03/12 11:10:00 AM #14 |
From: Eoin | #013One really important point to get clear: the means software publishers cannot prevent sales of licenses. It does not mean that they have to facilitate those sales. This doesn't, for example, mean that Sony have to allow PSN games to be resellable. This is the crucial part here. I know people are saying "lol Steam has to let us resell games now" but that is 100% not true. Steam won't be able to, for example, stop you from selling your entire account to someone else. They are not going to let you resell individual games.

Amon's motivations were dumb and didn't make a lot of sense. "My daddy made me bloodbend so now I want to rid the world of bending forever!" Plus the whole mystery of how he was able to remove bending had a disappointing resolution "because... BLOODBENDING!". Overall, I thought Tarrlok was better written.

Interesting theory I read on another board: Korra was contemplating suicide before Aang showed up. In the POV shot, her tear falls off the cliff so she had to be leaning over it. She decides against it and sits back down... Aang shows up and comments that she had hit her "lowest point".

TheCodeisBosco posted...Good lord, that's dire. I love theme parks to death, but I could never justify that.
Depending on how many days you go, Universal Studios is either much better or a hell of a lot worse. If you go 4 days, it's about $40 per day - certainly not bad by any means, especially since you get access to both Universal parks. If you go for 3, it's about $51. But if you only want 1 day? $123.
$123. For one person. Yikes. Protip: Don't buy a 2-park pass if you are only going for 1 day since you won't be able to do everything anyway. Single park single day is still $88 but yeah.

Yeah saw an article on this a while back. Loeb thinks the kids can't follow the overarching storyplots EMH had and wanted to make it completely episodic instead. This, along with the decision to do it in house, is why we are getting Avengers Assemble instead. Could still be good or it might flop, who knows.
Sidenote, I am not digging Young Justice Season 2 at all. I feel like they tried to do a JLU by expanding the cast but it's just not working. In Season 1 I met the team, I got to know the team, and I loved the team. But so far in Season 2 I don't know/care about any of the new cast. I don't even know the names of the black guy and the wasp-ripoff. Wonder Girl initially pique my interest as this is the first time I've seen/read anything with her in it. I mean at least I've heard of her before (unlike black guy, wasp rip-off, Lagoon). But she's barely getting any screentime. Nightwing is all kinds of awesome though.

Sooo for rings (or items in general) that add damage, how is that calculated? On my monk, a +5-10 damage ring gives me more overall damage than my +40 Dex ring. According to the character sheet anyway. With the damage ring, it says my damage is like 500 but with the dex ring it's like 450? I thought 1 Dex was supposed to be 1 damage (among other things) increase in Monks.

She mentions the 2010 Arista Records LLC v. Usenet.com, Inc. case, in which Arista Records requested the court calculate the damages by multiplying the maximum amount of damages ($150,000) by the number of infringements (878), or $131,700,000. The court found the defendants liable for $6,585,000, by multiplying the number of infringements by $7,500. In this case, Limewire is liable for 11000 works (songs). They could have at least been reasonable and asked for 82.5 million (11000 * 7500).

From: Silvercross | #108 That's quite possible. But if the rumors are true that it takes 6+ hours to finish the game on Normal, that's totally fine with me. Hell, I played Diablo 2 for 3 or 4 years. Obviously the game length didn't mean much to me. I would expect the average initial playthrough to be around 8-10 hours. Blizzard has stated there are 4 acts with Act 4 being shorter (similar to D2). Act 1 on the Open Beta took me 3.5 hours when I took my time and a little less than 2 hours when I rushed.

Can Korra Airbend at all yet? She's been in Republic City for like... a month or two? She should be able to bend like a small gust of wind at this point at least. They haven't really said anything either way but if she can't then Tenzin actually is a terrible teacher.
And Yakon was mentioned by Tarrlok (sketchy Councilman guy) as a threat to Republic City that Aang "dealt with" 40 years ago. A lot of people are assuming he has something to do with Amon and is the guy shown in Korra's flashbacks (which are likely being sent to her from Aang). Additional speculation (read: wild mass guessing) is that some sort of tragedy was involved that resulted in the death of a Gaang member.

Topic | So anybody catch the new season of Young Justice *SPOILERS* |
AsurasKordoth 05/01/12 2:48:00 PM #8 |
An upcoming videogame called Young Justice: Legacy is supposed to help bridge the gap between the two seasons. The tagline for the game is "one will rise, one will fall, one will die". Speculation is that Artemis dies while Kid Flash becomes the Flash (rise) or melds with the speed force (fall) while Aqualad becomes Aquaman (rise) or Black Manta (fall). However, the show creators have been lame about this previously when they said someone that "no one is safe and someone will die" in Season 1. That turned out to be Kent Nelson (original Dr. Fate host) who only appeared for that one episode.

I don't think Korra's flashback was a coincidence. It took place at Aang's memorial so I think Aang is trying to reach out to her and tell her something. Unfortunately she sucks at being spiritual so he can only do it when she is at his memorial + knocked out. Aang knows who Amon is and possibly had to do with his creation. Maybe it has something to do with this "Yakon" guy that Aang "took care of" 42 years ago.

The "Ned box" was weird to me. It looked too small to properly fit his body properly (unless they really squished him and chopped him up...) but how would he already be decomposed into just bones? I know they refer to it as his "bones" in both the book and the show but I always figured that was just weird phrasing. *SPOILERS IN LINK* Regarding where Stannis/Davos/Mel are I have a theory but it's pretty spoilery so I will link to my post in the "book spoilers" topic on the TV cable board: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/226-television-cable-and-satellite/62370618/699179098

He didn't attack any little boys. He stole the horseostrich from a girl (Song) in "Cave of Two Lovers" where Iroh ingested a poison plant and they had to get help. He taught a boy (Lee) how to use broadswords in "Zuko Alone". Neither of them are likely to be related to Amon; I just got them mixed up.

Just saw episode 3. Thoughts...
- Kinda lame that shooting lightning apparently only requires like moderately competent firebending skills now. I mean the gang leader dude knowing it would be fine but... Mako and some random dudes at the power plant knowing it kind of takes away its uniqueness. I mean yeah we have metalbending cops but I figured they were like the SWAT/special forces team or w/e and it wasn't that widespread.
- I guess guy with lightning sticks is the new Combustion Man. I was expecting Mako to pull a fast one on him and redirect his lightning. Perhaps he will learn to do it later after some waterbending inspiration from Korra. After all, that is how Iroh learned it.
- I have mixed feelings about pushing the Korra/Mako thing so early. On one hand it avoids having to deal with rabid shippers (although I'm sure there will still be some) but on the other hand it's kind of boring to establish the official couple so early on.
- Yeah Amon is totally not spirit/energybending. It's probably just advanced chi-blocking that takes longer (maybe a few days?) to wear off. Calling it now, he's gonna do it to Korra... she'll freak, do a spiritual journey (hello Aang) and unlock her bending again.
