    The Strain

    A minor aside. I don't really understand the BSG actors appearing in this show. I half-expected the hedge fund manager to blow himself up in his minor quasi-cameo.

    The Strain

    The series is powerfully bad. It makes the Walking Dead look like Shakespeare. Stargate, the series, does more justice to Sci-fi than this series does for horror.

    Archeage

    It's pay to convenience. That said, it seems like a Korean Rift. I desperately wanted to like it, but my Steam backlog seems more tempting.

    Hopefully the removal is only temporary. I know I liked bounties and anti-PK guilds in UO, even if it meant harvesting my own head for the reward.

    Archeage

    With my interest in wildstar waning, I'm trying to get interested in this game (especially in light of the dearth of titles to be released in the near future). My largest hang-up is the lackluster looking combat and lack of tiny, cute races; although, the incentivized world pvp is rather...

    Nope, I'm an idiot. I meant Pago, Prego is the server most people are transferring to >.<

    Yeah, no. Dominion side is quite dry and Illum is rather depopulated as compared to weeks ago. Exile side, you don't see the horde of Team Legacy as you used to and I can do my dailies without getting swarmed.

    I'd like the game, more, if my server, Pergo, wasn't so dead. Scorchwing is up, but I'm the only person from either faction there. It seems like most of their server management/infrastructure is ridiculously antiquated.

    SWTOR combat was pretty boring outside of jetpacks/knockbacks.

    I view my comment as less than an indictment as much as an accurate appraisal of the game and its quality of life features. Personally, I played WoW during the TBC so, many years later, I expect more.

    Mediocre TBC-era wow clone that might be fun for 1-2 months.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Seems well done, but it does not read immediately evocative of the gates of Freeport, which likely relates to the huge disparity in graphics. Rough example of the disparity:

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    True. TV Sansa is 18, but looks older. Selective attending to minutia is effective. The point remains that TV Sansa is sufficiently acted; however, the actor is portraying a character well below her chronological age, naturally written for someone younger, and it seems off.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Sansa, on TV, would be more congruent if she was played by a younger actor. As it is, it comes off as a 20+ year old behaving like a early-mid adolescent that makes the character seem more retarded than appropriate.

    Why I play Ultima Online

    You just can't go home again. Give me a modern UO with graphics and systems and I'd be quite content.

    The prospect of increasing SS damage for PVE makes me delirious for the possibilities of pvp applications.

    You can find some lewl-worthy gear, at lower levels through crafting or mob drops, that have procs (e.g. run speed, dots) that make them highly desirable for numerous levels. They are few and far between.

    Esper is as stationary as the abilities you choose. Psychic frenzy makes them mid-range melee.

    For me, the finale at least ended in a coherent, but predictable. It wasn't particularly interesting outside of a few random laughs.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Cat is the "every mom" at least from the first few seasons. Motherly, irrational, and would sacrifice everything for her children.

    Breaking more things and fixing fewer things of consequence seems like a poor idea so close to release. After the first 1/2 of this weekend, I'm quite turned off (but have nothing else to do).

    Can it be worse than the fourth season of the TV series? Reimagine the series like the whore it was.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Seems to be a pleasant, evidence-based show (surprisingly) on fox that's appropriately aimed at the junior/senior high school level. I'd enjoy the show even more if my TV was not antiquated.

    Moderately obnoxiousifyou only can get keys from random mob drops. Think my characters in GW2 had a slew of them I'd only open when getting a key from the world.

    Da Vinci's Demons [Starz]

    Season 2... I hate that I watch this show, but I liken it to watching Hercules or Xena back in the day. Campy nonsense that somehow passes as watchable.

    The questing is a valid complaint. It reminds me of TBC-era crap that doesn't immerse you in an interesting story as you binge your way to max level. The shiphand mission are much better, but I'll likely only do all the quests on one character and rely on BGs to level up subsequent alts.

    Think the NDA is lifted now. For me, I get the most enjoyment out of the BGs, but the lack of maps and play-modes grows more obvious with every play.
