    Black Sails

    Don't think it's the make-up. They do this thing where they reverse the shot, mirror it. Someone who knows more about the process can explain it better. But, yeah, still a continuity error.

    Ender's Game (2013)

    That wasn't the issue. The issue was that Ender had to be able to do whatever it took to win each battle. He thought nothing of sacrificing half his available ships (or all) to win a single engagement, because they were just game pieces to him. He had no idea there were hundreds of people (or...

    Ender's Game (2013)

    It wasn't conveyed as well in the movie as the books, and you have to suspend your disbelief a bit, but all they needed from Ender was the ability to use the Fleet in battle extremely well, and more importantly for him to think it was a game. So he would do anything to win, and not realize he...

    Ender's Game (2013)

    There was plenty of sex in WoT. It wasn't shown all explicit in the books, but Rand was banging three chicks. Lan bangs Nynaeve eventually, Perrin and Faile, not to mention Mat and his escapades. Did you read some G rated version?

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    While there are a few abilities like bullet swarm, heat ammo, low profile, that are nice to have, there's also quite a few that are useless and the classes that usually get those tend to be weaker without them. And it's really hard to get stuff you need like field medic and lightning reflexes. I...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    I prefer the flamethrower on my first MEC. 6 (and later 9) damage in a huge area, plus panic (usually) is great. Sectopods aren't an issue. I typically run with 2 snapshot snipers, and disabling shot lets me deal with Sectos at my leisure. I recently did a couple I/I runs with ballistic weapons...

    The Blacklist

    I don't see how nice or brutal really factors in. He killed everyone involved in his kidnapping and torture, and the cold-blooded murder of one of his most trusted people. Simple revenge. Did it seem brutal because he showed no emotion while doing it? Just seemed like vast amounts of...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I've never agreed with or understood this distinction. A mutant is by definition a mutated human, they are still human. Is someone born with a genius IQ or green eyes not a human? If you believe in the theory of evolution we're all mutants. Does that mean humans don't exist?

    That's an easy one. BBT gets better ratings because it has a laugh track (studio audience, same thing essentially)...so people know that's it's funny and when to laugh. Seriously, most people are that retarded. Sorry for stating the obvious. I do find Sheldon entertaining, but most of the...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    The only decent stats on that unique are the strength and durability, which IM doesn't really need at 60, unless you have a melee heavy build? And leveling it to 60 won't change those two stats. You could level it to 40, which is reasonably cheap, but I wouldn't go farther than that.

    Movies you'd like to see remakes of?

    "All these movies"?? What the fuck are you reading, retard? I named one fucking movie. And I can almost guarantee that I'm older than you, genius. Still waiting on one of you fucking clowns to actually refute my argument instead of slinging negs. If you are unable to engage in intelligent...

    Movies you'd like to see remakes of?

    The original would be untouched, moron. That's your whole argument? "It's a great cult movie, leave it alone!" Here's a little tip for you, I'm not a fucking movie producer. The OP asked a fucking question and I answered it. Forums are for discussion. When you disagree with someone you use your...

    Movies you'd like to see remakes of?

    I explained quite clearly why I would like to see a remake. Why don't you try to explain why you disagree with my reason, instead of throwing around neg-nets? Just too lazy? Or too stupid? Also, someone already suggested Blade Runner, better get clickin and give them a neg too.

    Movies you'd like to see remakes of?

    It's based on a graphic novel.

    Movies you'd like to see remakes of?

    The Crow. While I think Brandon Lee (RIP) did a fine job, I would like to see an adaptation that stays truer to the source material.

    There's melee, ranged and hybrid. That's the only real difference other than the character model and particle effects.

    Jupiter Ascending (2015)

    Why the fuck does Tatum keep getting roles? He was halfway decent playing a dumb fighter ( what a stretch ) and now he's the next big action star? I guess heavy eyeliner is supposed to make him interesting? And you put him in scenes opposite Sean fucking Bean? Full retard. Protip: Taking a...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Medallions always drop from story mode supervillains, so you can get whatever one you want whenever, but the numbers on the affixes have ranges, so some will have better rolls. Medals (low level silver) are pretty much useless. I always keep one stack of pures of each crafting mat, and two of...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    In the early game, Overwatch tends to miss the vast majority of the time. Playing on I/I and relying on Overwatch, instead of hunkering down or breaking LoS will often result in plasma to the face. Also, they added a Second Wave option that does let the enemy attack when they are discovered...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    So, I've had hundreds of hours of enjoyment playing this game. I think the presentation is awesome, it's the only turn-based game I've played that doesn't feel turn based. But, I've been in denial about something. I sometimes watch Let's Play vids looking for tips on tactics that would help me...

    HERO SYNERGY BONUS XP We've added a new system which will give percent-based XP bonuses for each hero you level up! 1 Level 60 Hero = +30% xp bonus. 2 Level 60 Heroes = +20% xp bonus (50% total). 3 Level 60 Heroes = +15% xp bonus (65% total). 4 Level 60 Heroes = +10% xp bonus (75%...

    As I said, all heroes can be obtained for free. Of the 12 I have, I purchased 2. And I'll be getting Ghost Rider free in a few days. There's no real reason to spend money on anything but stash tabs.

    1. I'm almost certain they will refund the G difference if a sale happens, I believe you have like a week? 2. You can get any hero you want for free, so what the fuck are you complaining about?

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Pretty sure it's the same couple of artists that do all the models, there's an Art Bar thread they post in a lot. Now, the VFX for his powers is pretty damn good. The fire has a real liquid-y look to it, and the attack animations are nice, as is the bike, although the controls/movement are still...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    It's recorded, and yeah, he could do that, but he would also have to redo his commentary every time, and I don't think he's faking his surprise when he runs into new stuff etc. He also does Let's Play's for other games.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    There no way anyone who has played I/I can watch ChristopherOdd's vids and not wonder if something is up. He has some skill, sure, but the bad decisions and mistakes that he gets away with are many. I'm not the only one who has noticed and commented on this. It could be as simple as using the...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    I was interested in seeing tactics using a 4 man squad for the entire campaign. Using 2 MECs and 2 SHIVs is like having an 8 man squad, and half of them are disposable. Well, technically all of them are, since you keep the suits if the MEC soldier dies, you just lose the ranks. SHIVs are just...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    He's not fastest doing anything. I'm trying to watch the recording from yesterday and he takes 100x as long as it should just navigating screens, changing soldiers, talking to random fucks on his chat, ugh. Makes you want to go to his house and inject him in the fucking eye with a syringe of...

    The Division

    ^^ This. It works, mostly. 360 res will fill up in a few seconds, 720p is either really fast or really slow. Sometimes it disables 1080p. Still better than buffering in tiny chunks. Sometimes reloading the page will get 720p to load faster. Youtube sucks ass for this bullshit.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    I/I Let's Play vids are typically used to entertain and/or instruct and/or show off your tactics. They try to avoid using any tactics considered "cheesy" since I doubt anyone wants to watch that for 20+ hours. Also, soldiers at least have some personality, and viewers can become fans. Tin cans...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Covert Operative with Mimetic Skin = Exalt never gets a shot off. The starting mission where you have to retrieve one of their agents is harder than all the others put together. Exalt is pretty disappointing because of that. The only thing I get out of it is being able to equip weapons that...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Is there where I say "That's Xcom, baby!"? I can never remember. Edit: Oh, and I never liked SHIVs much. Only used 1 on a mission once to try it out. I think they should restrict you to 1 shiv or 2 drones per mission.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    I feel your pain, bro. I hate when that happens. It's much tougher now with the new Sectopods being so tanky. I try to wait til I have 2 guys with Mind Control to use on the Elites, and Disabling shot helps a lot with the Sectos. My recent C/I run I had the most trouble with the base defense. I...

    Quineloe, I've been watching that guy's LP, and read some of your comments. Just wanted to let you know I'm almost positive he's using a modified ini file. Either that or he's the luckiest guy on the planet and should be hitting the tables in Vegas, or playing the lottery. I figure he plays I/I...

    My favorite thing was finding an upgrade, getting it linked up, then using a few stacks of chromatic orbs to end up with the exact same colors/placement that I started with. So much fun.

    Neverwinter: PC

    The Hunter Ranger? That's the name they went with? Was Archer Bowman taken? When can we expect the Fighter Warrior, the Rogue Thief, and the Healer Cleric? I know it's probably from the rulebooks, like Trickster Rogue, or whatever, but it still sounds stupidly retarded.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Eh, you're exagerrating, it's not that bad, and hardly different from stacking heavies in vanilla. He grenaded the sectopod for 3/5th of it's health and finished it off with the assault's alloy cannon, and the only reason he was able to do that is because the AI bugged and just sat there...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah, I'd have to agree. I played pretty hardcore for a few months and as you can see from the list of uniques I had (one of which I traded for, Death's Harp) none of them are worth much past twinking a new low level character and carrying him to mid level. I had a few decent rares, but a lot of...
