    Ready Player One (2018)

    Enjoyed the film, not read the books. Only thing I felt was missing was an Irok IRL reveal - either a neckbeard or 13 year old girl. Missed comic opportunity!

    What does your ideal modern MMO be like?

    I’d be happy with a modern day upgraded anarchy online. Or take the trade and politics of eve, the slickness of wow, the setting of anarchy online and the skill system of the secret world and combine.

    Altered Carbon

    I’ve not read the books. Thoroughly enjoyed the show, one of the best sci-fis of recent years. Most of the people complaining seem to be those who have read the book and don’t like the changes. I thought Kovac’s character made perfect sense - he gained a sense of purpose with Quell, his sister...

    Hmm, wonder why the balance changes aren't in the patch.

    The Secret World

    Well it's not a perfect reboot. But it's fun and it has brought fresh life into the game. I'm up to level 25 now and the combat works better than the original. I miss the complexities of the ability wheel, but the new system isn't all that different in reality - just easier for new players to...

    Virtual Reality

    Hmm, how is magic leap different from Microsoft's hololens? We had a hololens demo at work - was pretty impressive, but it felt like it was years away from being a game changer.

    SWTOR

    I played this for a few months at release - enjoyed the leveling well enough. However, it was a huge disappointment after all the hype. One of my biggest issues was the engine, the other was the ability bloat. The cinematic for this new expansion looks awesome. Can you pick this up and play it...

    Hearthstone

    What is not clear is whether it will be multiple runs at the same tavern brawl, or different tavern brawls with the same deck.

    Overwatch

    At what rank though nevergone? I'm playing in Diamond and sometimes Symmetra can work, but it's very map dependent. On another note, I don't think I've seen a single torb at 3k+.

    Hearthstone

    Managed to go from rank 12 to rank 5 in half a day of playing midrange hunter. Not a fan of this meta at all. Now I can go back to grinding golden rogue, which, compared with playing hunter or warrior feels like playing blindfolded.

    Hearthstone

    Rogue really needs some love. I have every hero except rogue as golden so I've been trying to ladder up with various forms of miracle this season. I just can't make it work. I usually hit rank 5 and call it a day, but with rogue I struggle to maintain rank 12. I feel the lack of healing...

    Rogue is in a bad spot right now. Can anyone remember why they nerfed blade flurry? It feels like reverting that back to 2 mana would help a lot...

    Hmm, is the brawl a mistake? Shouldn't it be some Karazhan preview brawl and they've activated an old gods one?

    I struggle with token yogg druid - played it around rank 5 over the last few weeks and saw way too many tempo dragon warriors, hunters and zoo. Also found it difficult to keep up with shaman's board presence...

    The 100

    This show is so underated, it does moral ambiguity better than any other television series. Season 2 still ranks highest with the irradiating of the innocents but I do like the Ali story arc and things are shaping up nicely for the finale.

    Overwatch

    This is a good point. I have played Overwatch since early beta and tickrate is probably the weakest thing about the game - despite all their favour the shooter stuff.

    The meaning may have evolved, I was merely explaining where it originates :P.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It stems from the fact that in Japanese, the phonetic method of ending a word with a soft 'f' (eff) sound is to use the character 'fu', hence 'wai-fu'.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I hadn't realised you hadn't bought the expansion yet - didn't think it was possible to go above 50 without it. I honestly can't imagine hitting 60 without doing the MSQ (including the heavensward part of it). The MSQ provides so much content, not to mention exp - if you did it when you were...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Oh also, doing zeta books is also a complete waste of time (aside from for the glamour). You can get the anima (lvl 60 relic) without doing that using fates, which is a fairly good way to level alts.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Rangoth, why are you doing dailies etc before prioritising your main story quest? Almost everything you are doing is completely obsolete for heavensward (save to experience the content once). You can get a full set of item lvl 160-190 gear extremely quickly once you hit 60 and unlock things with...

    I think the worse player thing could be due to their matchmaking (assuming it's your first time trying NA servers). I haven't bothered - assumed it would be unplayable for a FPS.

    I hate FTP models - I honestly don't get the FTP obsession with the current generation of games for consumers. Sure, it makes sense for those selling, but it just sucks the life out of a game if I have to constantly think about getting my wallet out. I'd much rather pay upfront in a lump sum...

    Continuum

    I believe that's what they implied in his ending. I mean more about the why and how of his journey and expanding on the whole freelancer subplot.

    Continuum

    Quite happy with the ending - bitter sweet... The only thing I wish they had explained fully was the Traveller. It didn't feel as if the whole balance of the continuum stuff was resolved at all.

    Continuum

    I honestly don't get how this isn't more popular. It's some of the most entertaining sci fi and time paradox mystery that exists on TV. One more episode to go.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Savage (at least a3s onwards) is tuned to a level where only those playing their classes perfectly will complete it. That level of tuning inevitably results in certain class combinations having the advantage. The real issue I see, is that prior to the expansion there was a lot of "mid-tier"...

    Hearthstone

    I'll second the paladin over-representation on the ladder. I'm seeing 75% paladin at rank 2-4, the majority of which are some form of secret deck built around MC. Very few patrons, which is odd, since it's clearly the strongest deck and a counter to the paladins.

    Stuck at work here. Do you need more than melded ilvl 55 crafter gear to level crafting effectively? I.e. Do you need to have done any of the master book stuff?
