    The Walking Dead

    I guess we're supposed to forget the "doc" used to be a country vet? Who seems to know a lot about plants but isn't even asked why the fucking pig is sick? Also, I would guess influenza, except that kid died way too fast. Something similar, though.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Once again, for the short bus. We are discussing a video game, not the fucking comics. I haven't read comics in over 2 decades. Also, today is my birthday. So, suck it.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Gambit has way more abilities than just throwing charged cards. Squirrel Girl bites, claws, kicks and throws squirrels. Yeah, so interesting. And wtf? Writers? Readers? This is a fucking video game. Sure, she has a few lines in the game, but most of it is just chirping and shrieking. I give zero...

    Also, in case any of you are closet furries, Squirrel Girl is on the Test Center. How that lame ass character got priority over guys like Gambit and Nightcrawler is a fucking mystery.

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

    I think one of the biggest problems with this show is Agent Ward aka The Guy Whose Name You Can't Remember. He brings nothing to the show/team and unless they kill him off and replace him with someone interesting he's going to continue to drag the show down.

    What is with these kids nowadays? It's "catass". Get it right.

    From Doomsaw: Hi! I started the "Thank You" boost weekend early, before the web people get their blurbs up. It is live right now. FAQ: (stuff people asked me in game today or last night) Rarity, special item and experience boosted 50%. We are going to run this bonus through...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    The upgrade to cosmic recipe was added in the last patch. Unfortunately it cost a million credits per use and they nerfed credit drops to about 30% of what they were and won't own up to it. The line goes that they lowered credits per stack and increased the number of stacks, and it's supposed to...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    You're God damn welcome, bro. The rest of the stats aren't great, low energy damage boost and 2-3% to summon a moloid, but better than nothing. If they keep boosting xp in the tiny amounts they are, maybe eventually it won't be so grindy.

    So, turns out there's a ruined building in Upper East Side that has a tunnel full of Moloids and Mole Man at the end, which wasn't working until recently. The heroic and superheroic level his medallion has +1 or +2 int. I went 5 times and got 3 +2's and 2 +1's. That's +10% xp plus another 5%...

    The spirit regen "problem" was that it's not supposed to regen during and for a few seconds after using a spirit spender. It's a pretty huge nerf.

    Also, Doomsaw posted that they are gonna do a double xp/find event this weekend.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I do agree that they got the atmosphere and characters look and feel right. And the loot is done way better than D3. And they are adding things at a really decent pace. And they are adding playable heroes like one a month. Although I'm not interested in the next two, I'll prolly give Gambit a...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Heroes were buffed across the board, a lot. One is as good as any other I suppose. Just different flavors. I swear it feels like I'm exploiting or something. Or like when you take your max-level epic-geared character to run someone through a newbie dungeon and everything explodes if you look...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Yeah, that's one of the probs with the FTP model. Not selling enough xp boosters? Need to increase xp grind! Anyways, I don't get what's up with the devs in charge of game balance. I played in beta and found the game to be pretty dull. I mean, it looks nice, has interesting loot, good...

    Breaking Bad

    Exactly. There was zero drama in that scene once the bullets started flying, it just became retarded.

    Breaking Bad

    Yeah, come on. Those of you trying to excuse that ridiculous gunfight should be ashamed. An assault rifle at 20ish yards is not a fucking uzi. Not only is it gonna be pretty fucking hard for 6-7 guys firing at you at that distance to miss, Hank and Gomez don't even dive for cover, they return...

    Dredd 2 (2027 for Sure This Time!)

    It just never gets old how some people always seem to want so damned much from a fuckingaction moviebased on acomic book. Damned movie was never intended to be some epic adventure that changed your fucking worldview. Dredd himself summed it up best:

    XCOM Enemy Unknown

    I think the replay value is hindered more by the short and rather linear campaign coupled with the steep power curve. Once you hit midgame the battles become pretty faceroll. More maps will be great, but I wish they were a bit larger. I mostly play on Impossible difficulty now (after playing...

    XCOM Enemy Unknown

    Like a year ago, before the game was released? That would have been a neat trick. I much prefer that they've spent the time since launch working on this expansion than just designing a few dozen more maps.

    If you want to send me a copy of your save file I can see if I can figure out what the problem is. PM'ing you my email address.

    XCOM Enemy Unknown

    I've run into a similar problem occasionally on the Slingshot battleship. For me, it has to do with the fact that when you load the battle map the game loads the corpses and does their death animation again (this deja vu death can actually cause a soldier to panic, lolz) and that corpse is one...

    XCOM Enemy Unknown

    I think (hope) that based on the good reception and reviews that we'll eventually get a sequel that expands on the gameplay more. They need to do two things though, 1. Fuck consoles. and 2. Let Jake Solomon do what he wants. I watched the vids of the 2 previous incarnations of EU and there were...

    The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

    I always hate the mix of "hey, gotta have limited ammo cuz realism, yo" with enemies that take more than 1-2 bullets to kill. Consistency, how does it work? I think this game would have worked a lot better as pure tactical with no shooter. Give your (whole) squad commands and watch the action.

    The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

    Lol. I agree with you. I had no idea how good it was before I played it. I was late to the game and only found out about it last month while looking for something turn-based while waiting for the new Shadowrun. As you mention, the genre has been pretty much dead for years now, so I hadn't been...

    The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

    Yes, paid 37 bucks for it. Was totally worth it only because it came with a free copy of EU w/DLCs. And Spec Ops: The Line, though I haven't played much of that yet. Got 136 hours played of EU since I got my real copy, not to mention the several hundred hours I played the torrent. So definitely...

    Yeah, I played it for like 30 minutes, then went straight back to EU.

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    ^^ This. Seriously. If Windows 7 is too "resource intensive" for you, then you need better fucking resources. Hell, the only reason I upgraded from XP to 7 was for more ram and directx.

    The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

    I grabbed a torrent of EU last month while waiting for Shadowrun Returns to launch and ended up loving it, I'm on like my 13th playthrough. Was waiting on a sale to buy it, so this bundle was perfect. Normal is good to start with while you get a feel for the game, but yeah, once you do, it's...

    So, this drops in a week and greenman gaming has a nice deal. Same as Steam, for 44.99 you get the game, plus X-com EU with DLC's and the 4 original X-com games, and Spec Ops: The Line. In addition, GMG gives you your choice of $8 cash back (takes a few days) or $12 credit...

    Shadowrun Returns

    No one is saying that a Kneecap/shotgun nerf wasn't expected or needed, just that it's typical overkill, you know, how the term "nerf" got started in the first place. Especially when there are much more important things they could be working on, like the totally fucked up aim-RNG. 80% to 98%...

    Open - HBO Pilot (Jennifer Jason Leigh and Anna Torv)

    Oh boy! I can't wait to see how they explore the complex, ever-evolving landscape ofmonogamyin relationships in a show where two of the main characters are cheating on their spouses with each other. Fun times.
