    Well she's hardly been part of the show this season. Has she done anything at all aside from get kidnapped by Grodd and fall in love with Jay?

    Eh, all you have to do is tab away from the soldier and they vanish. The only evac animation you're forced to watch is the last one. Jesus Christ, do I really have to download the 66gig development tools to write my own mods?

    Yeah I thought Panabaker really nailed it.

    XCOM 2

    Not to mention phantom rangers getting to start in concealment on retaliation missions or anything else without concealment. *edit* I think I'll try the dedicated SMG scout ranger on my next playthrough just to see how it plays out.

    XCOM 2

    I can go doublecheck from my save before I started the end game, but I definitely respecced multiple soldiers and never got the bonus perk.

    The Shannara Chronicles

    As awful as it is, I'll still watch every single episode, so I hope it doesn't end up being a 1 and done. I love elfstones :-/

    XCOM 2

    I think the only thing melee ranger really needs to keep up with end game is for blademaster to scale with tech level. So +4 damage with arc blade, +6 damage with fusion blade. Also, Shadowstrike works on melee attacks (i.e. guarantees 100% hit rate) if your target can't see the ranger when you...

    I didn't mind it, only did two games though. Won em both but I played the second game to finish off a quest. Gotta say getting forgotten torch early as mage is hilarious. If you draw it back often enough your deck end sup being 50% roaring torches and god help your opponent if you get 2...

    Not as great as some of the repeater stories I've read on reddit but that's pretty awesome.

    Well on Earth 2 maybe Bruce, Hal, and Diana aren't superheroes. I mean as powerful as Zoom is, you'd think Batman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman could do something about him.

    XCOM 2

    I realized something about that video right before I went to bed last night. What really went wrong was when that soldier got critically hit and killed by the viper that wasn't even flanking her, which is when the failure cascade actually started. I realize hindsight is 20/20 but instead of...

    One concussion was enough to convince me to give up falling down flights of stairs at high speeds, I can't imagine 10 much less 30-40.

    Yeah I'm surprised Barry didn't double take at that, or even a quick Snart cameo. Floyd Lawton had me rolling though, especially with the whole Deadshot gimmick reversed.

    yeah the Cisco mirror moment was hilarious, too bad it didn't last.

    XCOM 2

    stolen from reddit, it's long so I spoilered it, and bolded a couple I thought were important Also, according to reddit pistols DO get the benefit of weapon upgrades, which means there is finally someone the repeater is worthwhile to use on. Apparently Shadowstrike only requires that you...

    I found this really hilarious, which probably means I need a nap. *WARNING* You cannot un-hear this, and it will likely affect every future playthrough of XCom 2, so watch at your own risk.

    The Shannara Chronicles

    Why couldn't they have just taken the story straight from the book, glossed over the army vs army scenes if they needed to save the cgi budget which I assume was always the plan, and then inserted their Twilightisms to it? It really says something when the awkward teen romancy stuff is the least...

    XCOM 2

    Just because I didn't have Iron Man enabled doesn't mean I was save scumming. I did a bit early on while I was testing out how various things worked, but I didn't scum my way through the whole game. Pretty sure more than one person on this forum alone has had their Iron Man playthrough messed...

    Well that hasn't changed, nor should it. You have to win both the strategic and the tactical game, not just one or the other.

    It's not a facelift it's a transplant. This is what the Alien geoscape looked like during EU.

    Brings new meaning to the concept of the stranger. Anyway my sinuses always get irritated and bloody during the winter. This year we had an incredibly mild winter, barely even dipped below freezing. Then one day it was bitter ass single digit cold, stayed that way for over a week, and my...

    Constant pressure from the smaller creatures with lots of ways to guarantee trades favor you would be my guess.

    XCOM 2

    See I thought the bonuses didn't look the same on my second playthrough, but my first one didn't get very far so I wasn't sure. and yeah, I got armed to the teeth early on in my successful campaign and that third upgrade slot makes quite a bit of difference. Looks like that's the only bonus...

    XCOM 2

    No, I didn't know that. Granted, they still won't be very useful until they've unlocked the right powers which you can't control the order of, but yeah that definitely changes things. I assume leadership training is the same way. Yeah that changes things significantly, especially if you get the...

    XCOM 2

    I was still feeling the game out on normal. or whatever normal is called in this one and I played pretty conservatively. Plus I always took two grenadiers and plenty of shred so when I did activate more than one pod it wasn't very dangerous. Long War Iron Man drills into your head the...

    It's an ability sectoids have to create psi zombies, never knew it works on your own dead since I haven't had someone die. Working on a mimic beacon is pretty damn funny though.

    XCOM 2

    Yeah it would take a lot of time and elerium cores to get that many shredstorm cannons, I finished my game with 2 so I did 2 shredstorms until I started fielding a third war suit which was usually equipped with a blaster launcher.

    XCOM 2

    Yeah Shredders/Shredstorms are unreal. and no, Psi-Ops absolutely do not need to be nerfed considering how long it takes to train one, the fact that you can't use them during that long training process, and the fact that the order they get their powers is completely random so you have to train...

    They were part of the EU release, they were just turned off in the ini until one of the patches.

    XCOM 2

    So right after the Van Doorn mission, Beagle had a crop of recruits show up and he named one after Van Doorn. Long story short, the RNG gods smiled upon Van Doorn. He survived certain death, made impossible shots, and in general just saved the fucking day whenever it needed saved. He was epic...

    Just keep doing the story missions. So I beat it, went to start a new game, and saw that there were no second wave options. Seriously? They decided to just say fuck it and let modders handle it?

    The Shannara Chronicles

    Well if they kill Allanon they can't really do Wishsong unless they're turning him into a spirit early. Which would be yet another dumb and pointless departure from the books. And no it definitely looked like pointless and inane crazy torturer trope guy had those wires clipped to her...

    Hearthstone

    Well if you want to change druids you have to take away mana ramping and rebalance them around that, but Blizzard obviously isn't going to do that. If you nerf force/roar and maybe even nerf some of their other classic stuff on top of that, nothing you release in the next expansion is going to...

    The Shannara Chronicles

    Finally got around to watching it and this show is fucking awful. I don't mind the Twilight style terrible romance bullshit, but what the fuck is with all these wild ass departures from the books? And honestly I think Slanter is the worst one. SLANTER IS FROM FUCKING WISHSONG NOT ELFSTONES. This...
