Michael Caine is like 108 years old and still putting in the work.

After the way he engaged the community and how things subsequently went down with 38S, I'd bet my last dollar that Curt wants absolutely nothing to do with this place ever again.

Mobs do an insane amount of damage in NG+6. Even trash hit pretty damn hard. Malenia has 2-shot me several times now, and that's with the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman equipped. You have to basically be perfect against her Waterfowl move or you're insta-gibbed. Man, fuck that bitch.

I typically avoided colossal weapons in my runs given how slow the swing speeds were. They just felt like I was giving the enemy a larger window of opportunity to crit hit me. After reading the comments above, I loaded up my primary toon, grabbed the Fallingstar weapon I had gathering dust in...

I had the same experience. ER was my first souls game and after some early research, I figured starting out on a mage build would be the best way to ease into the game. After 4 different toons and numerous complete playthroughs, that toon is my absolute least favorite one. Meanwhile, my melee...

Finally finished downloading the client and got to log in to see all of my toons appear to still be in tact. Logged into my main, a thief, who was in Lion's Arch. A little overwhelming as I don't remember a damn thing about anything in game though.

Most of my toons were lvl 80. I know my main was. That part I remember. And I think they had just introduced Ascended? gear, or something like that shortly before I quit. Whatever it was, it was extremely grindy to obtain/craft and I was already on the verge of quitting so I don't think I had...

I said accounts. What I really meant was characters. Might be silly to think that but I just assume there's a better-than-decent chance they've been purged after such a long time with no activity. Back in 2019 when Blizz launched Classic, I recall one day logging into the Retail side to piddle...

The last time I played GW2 was probably 2013-ish. Really enjoyed it but it felt like it lacked the character (more specifically, gear) depth I was used to with other popular MMOs and I eventually let it go. I know there have been at least a couple of major expansions since then. I'm so...

What’s From Software’s track record for producing DLCs for their souls games? Decent amount of new content or more features-based?

This is crazy. I've been reminiscing quite a bit lately about some of the old games I really enjoyed playing back in the day. There was one turn-based game I liked but couldn't remember the title of it. As soon as I saw the title of your post, it hit me - Jagged Alliance.

Man, seeing that old Kunark box brings back some great memories. Of every game I have ever played, I think EQ Kunark was and still is the absolute pinnacle for me in my gaming life. The novelty, the difficulty, the mystery, the sheer size of the game itself. All of it had me completely hooked.

It's been sooo long since I played any of them but good to know about the differences before I make a purchase. I found a few of the old Wizardry games on Steam too. Wizardry 1 was one of the very first games I remember playing as a kid and one of the main reasons why I got into RPGs (along...

Ironic that you're about to play Heroes of M&M 3. I've been seeing a few classics on Steam that I loved back in the day and that was one of them (the other was Descent. LOVED that game!) Anyway, I'm curious why you chose HoMM 3 over 4 and 5?

My first RTS was the original Warcraft which I really liked a lot but the original C&C was the one I truly loved the most. Back in the mid 90s when it first came out, I had a buddy of mine from work who would come over a couple nights a week to go head-to-head with me via direct connect. We...

Well nvm. It took me three tries but I could tell right away I was way over-leveled for the twin gargoyle fight. Their health bars went down in huge chunks at 119. Given how much rage I've been feeling with Maliketh, I'm ok with not having to deal with it for the twins. LOL

I forgot about those guys. Yeah, I can see them giving me a ton of trouble with no ash help. I’ll add them to the list to see how well I do with them though.

I bought DS1. Oof, it is indeed a bit clunky as many stated it would be compared to ER. I don't see myself getting totally engrossed into it but rather more of play it here and there over time, which is fine. I'm still trying to finish ER on my fourth toon. This was my challenge character - no...

I thoroughly enjoyed Elden Ring and now looking to try one of its predecessors. I've heard of Dark Souls, Demon Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro, plus good things about God of War too. If I were looking for something as close to ER as possible, which one would folks recommend? Btw, this is for...

This is it exactly. For talismans, use the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia (+AP with successive attacks), Claw Talisman (jump attacks), Lord of Blood's Exultation (+AP from blood loss) and Radagon's Soreseal (++attributes). And if you want to truly max it out, add in the White Mask and Raptor's...

I started experimenting with new builds recently. I use multiple toons to play with various goals in mind for each but my primary toon is around level 270 and finished through NG+3. I recently read about a bleed build using dual twinblades that I wanted to try so I loaded him up and started...

Valid point. I'll amend my previous statement then to simply say, I found him annoying as fuck.

100%. Wig or not, the character reminded me of JarJar Binks - served no purpose being in the show and was overall just annoying as fuck.

Wife and I saw it opening night in IMAX. Absolutely incredible! Someone mentioned above that they found themselves gripping the seat during several of the more intense flight scenes (of which there were several). That happened to me as well. I also caught myself literally sitting on the edge of...

Just watched the video. Given their track record, the next year will be spent increasing graphic detail of mountains, even going so far as to show dust swirling off of the rocks themselves in the windy climates, followed by some massive announcement + video of them showing it off with great...

I always thought Joppa was a big asset for their team because he came across in these interviews as someone who seemed capable of executing Brad's vision. As someone who cut their teeth in the MMO space with EQ, that was something that appealed to me as a gamer. Years later, it very much feels...

This is actually a remake of the movie Sword of the Valiant with Sean Connery as the Green Knight. Trailer looks good.

Les wasn't quite as dumb as he came across while speaking but, my word, he was a stubborn sob. The former AD for LSU even recently came out saying how talking to Les was like talking to a brick wall. As an LSU fan, much of what Les did was cringe-worthy. For everyone else, he was a seemingly...

I'm not exactly crazy about the hire of Linehan. He's only really involved in third downs though so I guess we'll see how it plays out. After the record-setting year they just had, LSU's offensive production can only go backwards a bit. Last is a bit much but with the returning talent and...

When are they going to finally join a conference (Big 10?)?

Oh well. Moving on. Considering that Clemson schedule, next year will boil down to a race for three spots in the playoff. I'm used to feeling that way every year about Bama (and still do) but now it's two teams. So maybe two spots?

I was curious if this held true for LSU so I looked it up on Pro Football Reference. Turns out RB Joseph Addai had one rushing TD for the Colts in the 2009 SB vs the Saints, WR Brandon Lafell caught a TD for the Pats vs the Seahawks in 2014 and QB David Woodley threw a TD back in 1982 for the...

Wow! That's almost too unbelievable to think Bama has never had any player score a single point in any Super Bowl ever. Crazy stuff. I see LSU has 20 points but I'd have to think about where those points might've come from.

Yeah, even Tiger fans thought he was an above average QB, at best, after his first season. But it was a whole lot more than just his growing development as a QB as to why he was mediocre in his first year in 2018 and ridiculous this past year. Joe Brady arrived and brought concepts of one of...

I'm still enjoying the moments of this past season. And while I've never been much on the "greatest team" debate, there is no denying that what LSU did this year was truly special. Mike Greenberg recently put it into perspective and it's almost impossible to argue. The greatest single season...

I would not want Jeff Fischer. Too much ego and risk of a power struggle. Not to mention, I'd have serious concerns about the motivation from someone like that. I'd personally prefer a younger, up-and-comer type talent. Sure, you're putting them in position to make a name for themselves and...

LSU alumnus and fan here. Aranda is a very good coach and no nonsense kind of guy. He's been one of the best DCs in the country the last 5 years even though statistically, his best year as DC was in 2016, his first year at LSU. The defense you saw in the first half of this season was pretty...

NFL games are basically unwatchable now due to horrible and inconsistent officiating. They're basically a third team out there with their own agenda to heavily influence games.

If I'm understanding your idea, that sounds to me like you'd need little more than a handful of zones. Just design them to scale up/down according to level or difficulty? The problem with that is that areas now lose their identity. Blackburrow was great because it was difficult at its level and...

Yeah I got hard DC'd and now can't get back on. This is on Pagle.
