All I have to say to you, as someone who has only seen up until the 5th season is be prepared to be severely disappointed with some of the villains and storylines. Some of the stories will start in one season and are just cut for no reason, or continue in another season with no mention of the characters of that story during the in-between.

There is a character in the series who you will meet early in season 2 who I hope you fall in love with as much as I did. The character was just fantastic..... and they are only shown in 2 episodes, a season apart, in one of the most disappointing storylines of any television series.


Which character? I'm blanking on who it is


Linea, Destroyer of Worlds, the one who is introduced in the prison episode I think it was S2 E3, and not mentioned until midway through S3, where she loses her memory

Its fake boobs. I have nothing against Trans people. Live your life how you want to. But I hate fake boobs. Absolutely hate them. They always look unnatural, and after almost 60 years of performing that operation you'd think they would find a way to make them look somewhat natural.

The only time I think fake boobs should ever be used are in mastectomy patients.

Even if a male to female was able to grow a "real" pair of breasts, I still would turn down the offer to have sex with them.

I just really enjoy people getting their comeuppance for being rude. That, and it's one less person modding people for things that shouldn't be modded.

I'll never be a mod though. I keep getting moderated, by what I'm pretty sure is just one person.


I've been modded a few times myself in the past, for either discussing roms, or discussing legality with copyrighted material here in Canada. Just by speaking on how the law is a little more lax up here than down in the states got me modded. Can't fight out of it either, at least from my experience. You will almost always lose.

My personal favorite was getting modded for spoiling something that happened a week ago(a few years ago) on Monday Night Raw, with someone being angry that they didn't watch that particular episode.

Now, that said, most Mods on this site are pretty good now with having discussions of taboo topics, and have become a bit more mellow in the past couple years, and many of them will come into discussion topics and chat freely about certain topics. Long as you don't give out information about where to obtain illegal content(games, music, movies and the like).

Speaking as a straight man, love is hard on both sides. Sadly, from my experience of online dating sites, women get so many messages from creeps that the actual good men seem to disappear. They get put off by all the guys asking them to park with them that the nice ones just don't stand out as much. I'm one of 99 messages, real hard to get noticed.

Even harder to find one that isn't crazy, or doesn't have some fucked up backstory.

Her last album was country music but nobody bought it so now shes back to trashy pop music


You can't blame her though. Lady Gaga is another example. Apparently Lady Gaga love Metal music, but because she understands that pop music has a bigger fanbase in the western world, she chooses to sing pop songs.

Hard to see her being the next Sharon Den Adel.

I almost feel bad for those guys but not really. They were completely taken off guard by the reaction which shows how out of touch with their fanbase they really are.

They also chastise the audience for their less than favorable reaction

You don't like this? Well, that's because you're stupid and forgot you all have phones!

That's what makes me sad. Phone games could have been something awesome but they just went the route of easy cash grabs and predatory business.


Phone games can't be something awesome, and that isn't the fault of mobility or even the phone companies themselves, its based on the technology we have readily available. Battery life for games like that is maybe 4 hours at most? I doubt it will even last that long. And if your phone isn't dying out, then its overheating for overuse.

Its the same thing that people have been complaining about for years with Laptops. Laptops are only now starting to be able to play modern games without all the problems they used to have, but even they aren't prone to hot keyboards, or overheating in general.

When they find a way to build electronics that can last over 20 hours without feeling like a furnace is melting your fingers only THEN will games like this be viable.

What's worse is that if they had released it on PC and then ported it to mobile people wouldn't be complaining at all. It was like this for C&C back at E3. They had to announce a remaster of C&C just to quell the rage that was coming their way.

Oh and you better hope it was something you did wrong...because at least you can fix that. If its the universe that has a problem....well good luck with that


Yeah, good luck with finding out what you did wrong. I've contacted multiple jobs after I failed an interview to find out what I screwed up on, always in a polite manner, asking the simple question "what did I do wrong, so I won't have that problem next time". None of them responded to me on what in particular I did wrong.

Companies don't care about you as a person. They only care about filling their quota. The last company I applied to actually kept telling me they would call me back, until I got fed up with it and sent a letter to the manager of the store, who promptly got someone to call me back(who wasn't even involved in the hiring process), all apologetic, saying this will never happen to another person(the putting them off, not the not hiring). Still didn't answer my question, despite me asking it again in call.

So my father(who gets more angry about this than I do) sent a letter to their CEO. I knew the person couldn't answer my question. Companies are more about saving face rather than answering simple questions. Managers are trained in management, not people skills.

To be honest, I'd be offended, but that's just me. I'm all about keeping my word. Which this seems to be a lack of. Same with the employers who tell applicants "no matter what we'll call you next week", and never call.

I wish the same logic we apply to cars and houses could be applied to work. When you pick up a car/buy a house, they tell you never to make an immediate decision. Look around, sleep on it, then come back and make a rational decision a couple days later. If you've gone through the entire list of applicants and you still feel strongly about the one you chose prior, then by all means, choose that one.

People are all excited for it.... I'm hesitant.... not because it won't be a good game, I'm more concerned on how they will handle the online experience.

If anyone remembers, towards the end of WC3s life cycle the online was full of bots, barely accessible without private servers, and you had dozens of the same game maps on the select screen making games almost impossible to control and fill up, not to mention that creating a game on your own was near impossible due to bugs in the game.

Now, if they do what I think they should do, they should be fine. Allow map creation, but force players to submit maps to Blizzard so there will be an "Official" version of some games. No 10 different versions of Footmen Frenzy to download. I mean you can still have that, but have 2 separate channels for that. One "Official" version, and another for just any map.
