I played this most of the way through the EA campaign when it first came out. I got up to I think the 3rd last mission when I had one of those moments where a stacked enemy hero appears out of the fog of war early in the game and kills my hero immediately. I had a few close calls on this kind of...

Finally playing burning shores. Some of the new legendary weapons are excellent. The legendary ropecaster can bring down an apex fireclaw in 2 shots!

I enjoyed studio 60 and the newsroom.... Watched ep1 of this last night, pretty good, will continue!

Bugger, hope it doesn't impact the product. This was my pick for best show of 2022.

The second game is better than the first in basically every technical and game play metric. World building, story, not as good. Hard to beat the first on World building though. HFW is an excellent game. I actually liked it more than Elden Ring but I know I'm in the clear minority there. I...

So it uses life instead of mana because their whole mana pool is reserved?

Fired up Burning Shores briefly. I didn't want to finish off my NG+ so I loaded my save from normal. Damn it's a nice looking game. Didn't get far yet but there's a bunch of new legendary weapons you can see in the shop immediately. Requires a new resource that I don't know how to get.

They left out Miles Morales, could have made it 4.

So much doom and gloom when the last league was one of the best in ages. Yes the current league sucks but there have been plenty of bad leagues. Base game is pretty good right now IMO.

I'll just quote myself from this thread back when HFW came out. Statement still applies.

Great show right up until the very end which was weird and unsatisfying. It was great thought that the show had almost zero likeable characters and yet was somehow still compelling which is usually something I can't stand. Everyone was some variety of asshole. The billionare bitch being crushed...

I'm enjoying this season because I'm playing a new (to me) and interesting build that is working amazingly well. I'm living in Delve which has always been my favourite mechanic in PoE. I haven't touched a crucible forge since around act 8 when i finished the very uninteresting 3 passive tree on...

HFW is an excellent game and I'll definitely play the DLC, although maybe not immediately since I'm playing the current POE season.

It's been decades since I've read those books so I don't recall his character that clearly but they did translate major elements of Thrawn's personality/abilities into Rebels.

My thoughts exactly, something to look forward to!

The sequence with the group of mages advancing up the canyon towards the defending pirate king and his lackeys was hilariously bad. All in all the show is fine. It's easy to watch because the characters on the whole are pretty likeable.

Zeppelin 4

Final 2 episodes are out. Second season was definitely heavily condensed but it wrapped up pretty well. A lot of death.

I do recall a few times her lines or actions felt out of character so she probably needed to put her foot down even more! Was a very fun show though. Looking forward to S2 if it eventuates.

Yes that was always a problem in sorties which required 3/3 spy missions to be completed successfully. I'd usually tell people that if they're not confident about what they're doing to just stand and wait for others to complete them.

Some of the new missions are actually tuned for high power frames which is interesting. I went into an exterminate with my trusty Ignis Wraith and actually failed because I ran out of time. Have to go back with a Saryn or Mesa and teach them a lesson.

Tell that to Cities: Skylines. I'm not hating though, DLC bloated Paradox games like Stellaris are still awesome.

Yeah the latest episode of this was a lot of fun. Some eps have been dull but most have been enjoyable.

You mean in her final minutes of life, right before she was executed arbitrarily by the incel president for rejecting his advances, being a threat to his power etc? Didn't pick the strongest example there did you mate?

S2 is up on prime video.

Simply not true. Like any mechanic harvests output can be greatly improved but it is perfectly profitable with 0 sextant, just alch & go. Obviously you block other mechanics in the atlas, that goes without saying. Most people's lack of income I expect is more likely speed related. If you take...

You can generate currency by picking all essence and harvest nodes in the atlas and just running whatever maps you have "alch & go".. It's obviously nowhere near as efficient as a more robust atlas strategy but having those mechanics in the maps whereby all the loot directly translates into...

Same here, know little about the game other than it's an apparently good zombie game, not even sure the genre. Show is excellent.

Wife & I both really enjoyed this. The middle of the movie before M3gan goes into killbot mode was the strongest I think. I laughed out loud at how good the use of movement and facial expressions on the robot was.

It's very Japanese. If you like the high stakes games and philosophical conversations then it's good. If you don't then you'd probably hate it. Second half of S1 was a bit rough for me although it did pick up right at the end. S2 was mostly great IMO.

This show is wild.. most of the games in s2 were excellent and the show actually ended cleanly.. such a rarity.

Aloy is a likeable female protagonist in a modern game. Not defensive or hostile, she is more understanding, stoic and compassionate. I think I commented earlier in the thread but the demo was enough to turn me off Forspoken because of how intolerable the main character (and bracelet)s banter was.

I think you need to let go of the idea that things in the movie (especially peoples motivations) need to make sense. But in general yes, Chef Slowik didn't tell Elsa about the barrel, then chastised her in front of Margot about 'forgetting it' then sent Margot to go fetch it. He was also showing...

His girlfriend broke up with him and he needed a +1 since they don't do bookings for 1 so he hired her.

Well world saga.

Nona the Ninth. Another fun read. Author must be having a good laugh coming up with the gimmicks for each book in this series. It was easier to follow than Harrow even though it dials the soul-of-one-person-in-the-body-of-another up to 11.

This is very bad. It feels like a 10 episode show where they cut it down to 4, except most of what they left in what should have been cut first. The plot does contain the core of something which could have been a reasonable explanation for the conjunction of spheres but too many pieces have been...

It was a lot of fun, very easy and enjoyable to watch. Plot holes you can fly the enterprise through but that doesn't even matter. Amazingly Kathryn Hahn is the weakest character in the movie and I love Kathryn Hahn. Burst out laughing when Benoir ruined the game, so funny!

Movie is just a beautiful tech demo. It's basically the same movie as the first one but even better looking. I didn't get bored, it was easy to watch but I did get the feeling that I'd really prefer to be doing something else. And it looks like the third movie is probably going to be the same...

Primarch/Heresy stuff is what "everyone" will want, they just need Avatar level budgets. No problem!
