    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    Dude, you knew the battle had to be the focus of an entire movie the moment they announced they were stretching that shit to three movies. Why the hell did the stone giants get like a tedious 5 minute scene when they were literally a sentence in the book? Just so we're clear, I'm not...

    It was a bad bump and I would guess she took a couple days off from performing house shows to recover, but no, she didn't get seriously injured. The only 'wwe paige injury' search results are from a storyline injury a couple months ago so she could do some movie filming.

    XCOM 2

    Except there was some pretty damn widespread destruction that really couldn't have been covered up. I forget the details but there are also some other plot things that make it hard to believe it's part of the main XCom continuity.

    There's nothing particularly wrong with the story, it's just the gameplay that was mediocre and uninspiring.

    Bureau is like an alternate version of earth or something, I don't think it's actually part of the XCom timeline. *edit* There are a couple easter eggs in EW that point at Bureau, but iirc there are too many contradictions for it to really be part of the same continuity.

    It would have gone to Jorah if he had taken the black when Ned sentenced him to death for slave trading instead of fleeing Westeros.

    Nah, it's viable on the ladder and thanks to Thaurissan it's no longer an autolose to control warrior. Still pretty heavily favored for the warrior, but not 95-5 like it used to be. Probably more like 80-20. Does ok against patron warrior, and does fine against the rest of the field. Pure face...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I was responding to someone else who said he was dead. I acknowledge that the scene was ambiguous, I just don't think he is important enough to have survived given how much they've trimmed down the story for the shows. If I remember the books correctly, you don't actually see him die there either.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Syrio is dead because he had a wooden training sword and held the King's men off while Arya ran. I don't think they actually showed Meryn kill him either, it was just implied. Although I'm pretty sure he is dead. If the hound had known Syrio held all those men off with a wooden sword, he might...

    Long War - UFOpaedia Infantry will be a bread and butter class throughout the game if you build them right. Snipers aren't quite the killing machines they were in the base game, but they're still an ok class and disabling shot is a campaign saving ability if you aren't save scumming. Assaults...

    Alright, I'm going to set what might possibly be a forum first and complain about a positive tuconet. Team Pelican? Pelicans?!?!? FUCK YOU BRO! CATS FOR LIFE! I was listening to it while playing Hearthstone. It's catchy generic pop music.

    Just to play devil's advocate, who is he training with that makes him elite? To pick an example, someone like Selmy trained under the best swordsmen in Westeros, same with Jaime Lannister or any of the Kingsguard before Robert died. I could practice swinging a sword at a dummy for three years...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I mean he basically teleported Drogon and Daenerys to the Dothraki sea in the books. They're described as being thousands of leagues from Meereen, and there are a bit more than 3 miles to a league, so at an absolute minimum they're 6000 miles from Meereen. Unless the book said Drogon flew for...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If he dies in Winds of Winter it will be some shitty writing. At the very least his death should have some important ramifications or something. That dude who got roasted by one of the dragons was kinda dumb, but he was just some random Martell son wasn't he? If GRRM introduced Aegon only to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Why do you have a spoiler tag in the spoiler thread? There is absolutely no reason for Varys to be lying about Aegon. Why would he have bothered with his little speech to Kevan as he lay dying if he wasn't telling the truth? Even Tyrion is convinced that the boy is really Aegon, and he's not...

    The country is randomly picked, but yes, it is normal. Base assaults are tied to countries now (instead of there just being one alien base in the middle of nowhere). Since it is theoretically possible to play through without ever losing a country, it would be impossible to beat the game because...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Jon has never had anything more than basic training with the sword. He's competent, but he'd get cut to pieces by a real swordsman. He might beat Jaime if Jaime is still having trouble using his opposite hand, but that's about it.

    Except when RNG combines with good draws and you just get blown out. I was in a match earlier against demonlock, and after a struggle I managed to get his board clear with a flamewaker out on my side. He responds with a 4 damage implosion on my flamewaker and I lose the game right there. It...

    She gets kicked in the face, lands with the middle of her spine on Naomi's boot, and probably whips the back of her head into the canvas too. She isn't faking that pancaked look afterwards, she damn near got killed. *edit* Yes, I'm aware pro wrestling is fake. That is a badly botched move...

    Actually doing some reading and pondering, I think that victory in the first game is still canon, you win the battle but the Aliens return in larger numbers and you lose the war. My evidence for this is that one of the developers posted on reddit several months ago that the volunteer...

    Anyway this is the first time in several seasons I've actually laddered instead of just doing my dailies and quitting, and I forgot how much RNG ruins this fucking game. Sick to death of 4 point implosions and perfect juggles. Or both together.

    You can control aliens in the 1v1 multiplayer, but not in any single player campaign. From IGN. Can memorize certain map elements that the generator uses, but no more memorizing entire maps.

    You honestly might be ok to just dive right in to Long War. The things that EW adds to the base game (The Meld resource used for MEC troopers and Gene Mods and EXALT missions) are changed so dramatically in Long War that a familiarity with them from vanilla EW wouldn't really be helpful.

    I'd also get Operation Slingshot and the Elite Soldier pack. Soldier pack is just cosmetic shit, but who doesn't want at least one trooper with the Guile haircut from the original game along on every mission for luck? Operation Slingshot is a mission pack, and Shaojie is my boy. Severely...
