It's not very memorable. It sure as hell isn't the ballbuster that OG/EW base defense was, that's for damn sure. It's hardly different from the 'destroy the transmitter' guerrilla ops, except you have to move back to the beginning to extract instead of killing all enemies, and if any enemies get...

I wasn't using a sharpshooter. 2x grenadier, 1x ranger, 1x specialist until my psi-ops were ready. Snipers are just plain terrible early on, which I suppose is balanced by how awesome they get later.

You're absolutely right, I got turned around there. I think what I meant to say was 'I assume his plan in the show was to put his future grandson on the Iron Throne'

Oh I learned something about the avenger defense mission on that playthrough as well. If you haven't already had an avenger defense, completing the codex coordinate mission (or maybe it's how many story missions you do, i always did blacksite-blacksite coords-codex coords) spawns a hunter UFO...

I agree, looks more like Jaime, which would basically make it just about the six most important characters left in the story dead? Not gonna happen. Even if GRRM was nihilistic enough to write that, no way would the show writers be willing to unequivocally alienate their entire fan base.

Would have been a lot more interesting if Jay told them to go pound sand when Barry wanted to lock him up.

Not directly copying the comics isn't screwing up.

Wouldn't be much of a show if they killed off damn near the entire cast. Seems a bit much even for GRRM.

Ok, for the sake of argument, how many other 'two people in one body' characters are there in DC? Because if he's Darkseid level in the comics and just generic flying blaster in the show, the two people thing has to be the only reason they picked him. Or I suppose they could have picked some...

It's because mobility doesn't directly translate into how many squares you can move, although I don't know the exact math behind it.

I didn't bring those up, Caliane did. And, just like Firestorm, none of their power changes actually affect the plot at all. And again, Darkseid level powers have absolutely no place in the Arrowverse. I assume they picked Firestorm for the uniqueness of two people sharing a body, and aside from...

Were you blue moving then yellow moving, or just dashing from your start point? Doing your blue move first frequently gets you an extra square of distance on your yellow.

Yeah I wouldn't expect it to be a popular opinion. I don't want to sound like a CCG elitist or anything but I played Magic during the original combo winter of Academy, Mind Over Matter, and Memory Jar which was so broken it actually got an emergency ban. Unfortunately I got back into the game...

I said reasonable, not likely. But I can dream! Honestly, a stale meta like this one is far worse to me than shit like the days of Undertaker and Patron. I had some fun decks that would absolutely mop the floor with Patron while still being perfectly competitive against the rest of the ladder...

That is indeed a much better and more accurate way to describe how high cover works. Basically when you're in high cover, the enemy doesn't have LoS to the square you're in, it has LoS to your step-out squares. Which occasionally created some really dumb LoS failures in EW/EU but they seem to...

Seems like a reasonable chance considering the 6 hour downtime.

yeah, story mode. Do chapters 8-10, and you'll almost certainly hit 60 before you finish ch 10, maybe even before you start it. Story mode is worth tons of xp now. fast 1-60 level : vengers

Except the plot in the books gives House Martell a chance at taking control of Westeros from House Lannister through Myrcella and Trystane, or at least muscling in on Lannister control even if they can't out them completely until the next generation. But the son of Queen Myrcella Baratheon and...

I'll answer this the best I can based on what I know of how cover worked in EU/EW, and near as I can tell very little or nothing changed with cover. For starters, if you are not directly adjacent to cover, you are exposed, which is the same as flanked. Certain aliens (Archons, Mecs...

I can only assume that Titus went full retard and was actually pissed at Vince over something, and he'd have been suspended even if it hadn't been caught on camera. If it had been over some minor thing or just horseplay, I doubt he even would have been suspended in favor of the WWE not drawing...

Blade, Doom, Jean, Rogue (maybe, she's still in major flux from her power overhaul), Scarlet Witch, Spiderman, and War Machine are top tier, so you're pretty safe playing SW. Nothing is a must buy, although starting with Ant-man I started buying hero bundles with cash instead of using splinters...

In the original DoFP, Kitty was sent back to her younger body by Rachel Summers. In the movie timeline Jean and Cyclops didn't live long enough for Rachel to be born. Having Kitty instead have the time travel powers barely changes the story at all, although XMen constantly being the Wolverine...

Sorry, started mine before the other one was posted but got distracted by the Hearthcards.

You could maybe pull it off on commander without mimic beacons, but I don't see how you could possibly do it on legendary unless you got impossibly lucky. Like, luckier than winning the powerball lucky. Anyway, like I said, 95% luck, 5% skill, and I attribute most of that 5% to tactics I...

Might as well split off Star Wars 8 stuff into this thread. Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern Announced for Star Wars: Episode 8; First Set Video Released - IGN

lol you have absolutely no room to accuse someone of trolling in a thread about comic book characters you fucking putz

The achievement. There is nothing in the game stronger than squad size increases, so unless you're doing the achievement GTS should always be your opening facility on legendary. and really it was like 95% luck, 5% skill, 100% concentrated power of mimic beacons. I had one failed mission...

Margaery is the exception that proves the rule considering that it wasn't actually her fault, it was the actions of the dumbest cunt in Westeros that got Margaery arrested.

They did the same thing to Sunspot in Days of Future Past (turned him into nothing more than the human torch) and I don't remember hearing much complaining, or is that just because he wasn't important?

The opening on the playthrough that worked was proving - awc - power - comms - workshop - psi. Think I built GTS after that. If you aren't buying squad size upgrades, the only good early tactic is vulture which isn't worth an early gts. Sucks having fewer chances at elerium cores, so you need a...

Also, just because it may have been consistent lately doesn't mean that the Flash hasn't always had a wildly inconsistent power level. In the comics can't he perceive shit in goddamn attoseconds? One-quintillionth of a second? I mean he literally could solve every problem in the world almost...

Except in the show Doran was adamantly in favor of peace, and iirc he was bitching Ellaria out in private and maybe even threatened to have her executed. If he had been doing that in front of Jaime maybe he could have been lying, but he wasn't. It seems most likely that Ellaria did it on her own...

That's pretty cut and dry. I hope they have some sort of explanation for why poisoning Myrcella wasn't a profoundly stupid thing to do with no possible outcome that would benefit Dorne.

Well they could bring him back at any time if his other gigs don't pan out (like what I'm sorta hoping happens with VanSanten) since A: he didn't actually die, he just fell into a black hole and B: even if you did see him die, it's a fucking comic book show. I love that dude hamming it up as...
