In that case the obvious thing is to recommend the sequel Avatar: the legend of Korra (if you haven't watched it yet that is) It's a totally new story with new characters, and while it does have some issues it still is great and the most recent season was on par with the best of TLA. Also...

According to the video this isn't exactly true, they say that sportsmanlike players win 1.7 million more games every day. Sadly without knowing how they got that number and how many games are played a day this number really doesn't say all that much. It's a good video, but I'm just not sure...

am I the only one that tought the gravity would have been so much better without sound. Everything has to be so incredibly loud all the time now that people forget how effective silence can be. it would just be so jarring to see that destruction and not hear anything

So for some reason, in the books the red wedding didn't do too much for me. I was sad that they died but nowhere near the reaction some people claim to have. my sister told me that someone had do stop reading the book for a while after a certain chapter, and I had to think really hard before...

Lord of the Rings, fellowship of the ring. waaay at the end. boromir is dieing. and aragorn finds him. and his final conversation where he redeems himself, and is given hope by aragorn who he then also acknowledges as a king of gondor just before he dies a heroes death. it didn't even happen...

to the people thinking the klm is doing this for everyoe. this was announced and one of the first things they said was this: it is optional. So you have to sign up for this service, then link it to your own facebook profile or whatever. also I highly highly doubt that they will put people...

Well I'm dutch (other side of the world) and I'm going to New Zealand next month so yeah I know it. For explanation I am going to Nz for Waitangi Day and visiting my maori friends. I am part of the only non-NZ waka crew and each year some of us go to NZ for waitangi day and to learn new hakas/songs

I have seen this point made before. it is a very good point and while it won't solve the problem the change in attitude will go a long way

So much hate on cyclists. Oh well guess that makes me happy to be dutch. We've been riding on bycicles so long that there are rules in place to protect bikers. And when teaching you how to drive there is a lot of emphasis on bycicles(because they are everywhere) But I'm kinda wondering how...

I've practiced judo for about 8 years. have been boxing the last year. and the last few years of judo I also dabbled in karate/jiu jitsu. Still want to try Muay Thai, krav maga and maybe wushu. so ye, love martial arts. About the penn&teller: bullshit! Episode. They said that, if you start...

Hmm, kinda nasty that it was leaked, but on the other hand, it does generate some publicity. For example I was not intending to buy Crysis 2, but from what I've seen it actually seems like a pretty cool game so I may buy it now :)

Hmm, I quit WoW ages ago (2 months before TBC, so only clasic) but all of this sounds fun. Those boss fights sound really interesting and even a bit challenging. So who knows, I still know some people playing WoW so I might pick it up again when the cataclysm has happened

Hmm, I have read one the harry potter books in one day (think it was 5 or 6). But not what I'm most proud of: I have read the entire Lord of the Rings saga in one day. Maaan, that day I really did nothing but read and eat a bit :P

That I need to correct you on, I don't study math but it is extremely important. Let me say one thing: Math has saved more lives than you ever will. Most importantly: statistics. I read a book that talks about the subject recently (Bad science by Ben Goldacre), It doesn't provide a full...

Rowing is awesome at Uni. where are you going to do it? for me rowing is also what I tried new. the last day of the intro week for my uni I simple tought, I'm gonna try a new sport. And it became rowing. Did it for 2 years and it was a lot of fun. Although as tomtom said, be prepared to...
