Roughly $25 per book so it can get kind of spendy. But the they are very nice quality and the artwork for the most part is fantastic.

They are also a bit darker and more twisted then the TV show.

I haven't seen the first season yet, but I do have it on blu-ray. But I can say that the game for it is awesome and really dark as well and some say it's even better than the TV series. It's definitely in the top three for my games of the year. It is a point and click type game, but the story and characters are so fleshed out that it doesn't even matter if you're not a fan of point and click games, you have to play it.

AMC is just a really good channel...The Walking Dead is only the third best show on that network.

the walking dead is a legit show! the beginning of season two all the writers and i think the director were fired, the first 6 episodes were prewritten by the guys who were fired. after that the show really picks up and season 3 has been great so far too

Remember when some of the users around here wanted Kendall Marshall instead of Lillard? Well, Marshall has been assigned to the D-League:

So has Jeremy Lamb. Just because they are buried on their teams behind good players doesn't mean they don't have talent. Neither has gotten a chance to play yet.

I finished season one yesterday. It was fantastic. I can't wait to watch season two.

Milkdud · Post #173 » by **Milkdud** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 7:24 pm

I'm guessing Breaking Bad and Mad Men, AMC has a fantastic TV line with those 3 shows.

ChadBC · Post #174 » by **ChadBC** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 7:43 pm

Oh, I didn't even know those shows were on AMC, haha. Excuse me I'm a bit out of touch with my TV shows. I've heard great things about both shows though, especially Breaking Bad.

WaltonsBeard was right about the inadequacies as pertains to the mods on this board.
Too many flaws ruling.
There's no point in even addressing them.

New Orleans are changing their name to the Pelicans as soon as 2013-14.

ROFL

I watched Cabin in the Woods at midnight in a mostly dark house. It was a terrible decision.

You haven't visited in two days, but if you do again, perhaps you'll read this.

If there's no point in addressing them, then perhaps there's no more a point in passive-aggressively bringing it up. There is a report function for a reason; all members are able to use it. This may be a surprise to some, but we actually do things outside this board. I assume your complaint was in regards to the bench thread, and the comment you quoted. You'll notice another mod addressed the rising level of insults by posters, you included, shortly down the page of the thread.

Here is the simple reality, shaolin: It is perfectly fine to be on either end of the spectrum - whether very negative, or very positive. I am sure people from each side feels those on the other can be naive, but no one here would begrudge your right to express your own disappointment in the Blazers. Likewise, I doubt anyone would damn other particular posters for always putting a positive thought on developments.

However, there is a significant difference in expressing one's disappointment in the Blazers only and expressing one's disappointment in the Blazers while calling everyone who disagrees with them naive, brainwashed, idiots, mindless cult members, fools, homers, this new theme of multiple people bringing up the same old quotes or once held thoughts every time in an argument with someone they probably consider an adversary, rose-colored glass wearers, slow, narrow-minded agenda havers, sheep, and any other number of names and/or adjectives people feel like throwing up against the wall that particular day.

Additionally, the same would apply to those on the extremely positive end of the spectrum. There is a significant difference in expressing one's positivity in regards to the Blazers only compared to expressing one's positivity while calling everyone who disappears with them naive, brainwashed, idiots, haters, sheep, this new theme of multiple people bringing up the same old quotes or once held thoughts every time in an argument with someone they probably consider an adversary, bitter, fools, narrow-minded agenda havers, and any other number of names and/or adjectives people feel like throwing up against the wall on a particular evening.

There seems to be this ever progressing development, from both sides, that the way to go about dissecting someone's argument is not to point out whatever you feel is a flaw in their position but rather to call them a bunch of names, generally try to make them feel like they're the dirt beneath your foot, or outright question their sanity, emotional well-being, and their ability to form a coherent argument or their ability to comprehend it.

That is going to stop right now, from everyone.

There is an ignore function for a reason, use it liberally if you must. If you do not wish to see the posts of someone for either holding a vastly different opinion which grates your nerves, or you simply don't think you can restrain yourself from attacking them - then use it. There is the option of simply disengaging with someone, or agreeing to disagree as the old saying goes. Use any of these. Use the report button.

None of us here are idiots, more naive than the next just for holding different opinions, haters, homers, sheep, cult members, or even gods.

I am, however, pretty sure most of us are adults. So we're all going to start acting like it.
