    All things Brandon Sanderson

    I don't believe it's ever actually made clear why this is the case. After the most recent book I'm kind of hoping they get into it, because it's a pretty glaring and obviously intentional piece to be left out.

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    I finally caught up on the Eisenhorn storyline with The Magos & then Pariah. I really enjoyed both, especially the reavelat the end of Pariah with the "specialist." As usual Abnett is writing the best books in the BL and I'm really looking forward to the continuation of this story.

    City of Brass

    Has anyone else read this one yet? City of Brass It's the first book of a fantasy novel based around middle eastern mythology, focusing on Djinn's. It sounds kind of weird and is hard to explain what the book is actually about, but I picked it up since it was on sale on my kindle for $2 and I...

    The Expanse

    Renewal drama aside, I think this may have been one of the best (if not the best) episode of the series to date. The tension, action, and flow was pretty much perfect.

    Frostpunk

    I beat the main campaign in about 6-7 hours and though it was short, I really enjoyed it. It was extremely well done and surprisingly story heavy which I really liked. There's two more scenarios I intend to do and the devs have said more are on the way which I'm looking forward to. If you like...

    Warhammer 40k

    I'll see if I can find the source for my avatar if you want it. The books arent open source but I have the pdfs for them all in a google drive folder. As for whether you can play or not just let me know when you find out. I'm on the FoH discord too and will probably be more responsive to...

    Warhammer 40k

    It's more mechanic based than RP based. RP'ing with my little group is generally fairly light other than playing your character in a realistic way and having realistic responses to the situations your in based on the context of the game.

    Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2

    This was just announced. I enjoyed the first game and as a 40k fan I'm pretty fucking hyped for this one, especially after this trailer. Details are scarce but it looks like necrons and tyranids are in and it takes place during or after the thirteenth black crusade, as we see Cadia destroyed and...

    Warhammer 40k

    Maybe not the type this thread is originally for, but I'm running a Dark Heresy game on roll20 if anyone here is interested in playing. Think DnD-style game but you play as inquisitorial acolytes and probably end up dying horribly. No experience necessary. We play on Friday night's in the EST...

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    Just read Warmaster. I haven't been reading a lot of the novels the last few years because a lot of them are pretty poorly written, but I'm an Abnett fanboy so I always keep up with those. I enjoyed it quite a lot. Without any spoilers I can definitely see how he's getting ready to wrap up the...

    Bright (2017)

    I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I agree that they could've done so much more with what was a really cool and interesting setting, but it was still a fun action movie with some pretty cool visuals. May not a great movie, but I do think it's a fun one.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    I guess it depends how much time passes. A few years or even decades doesn't mean new characters, but it might be a vital gap in the story to allow more freedom for Sanderson to introduce new technology or societal developments which wouldn't work over the usual scale of a matter of months. It...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    My biggest disappointment in the book was the relative lack of Kaladin chapters, which were always the most interesting and the most fun to me. I don't mind Shallan but she was way over-represented in this one. Dalinar chapters I found to be fairly solid overall, and I really enjoyed his...

    Starborne - MMO4X

    So far the game seems pretty cool and with a ton of potential for being a great game in the future, but is there a way to increase the size of the building queue? Only being able to queue up 2 is pretty painful with how fast everything builds. Edit: Is there any guide or explanation on...

    Starborne - MMO4X

    What's the status of the Alpha right now? I tried to DL the game and give it a go, but I can't get past the character creation screen. Is that intentional and I missed something or just overloaded?

    Rick and Morty

    Wow, I just have to say I completely agree with everyone else on this episode. This season overall has been a lot better than I expected, but this episode was a whole new level of writing. I can't believe how much they fit into 22 minutes, and it was all amazing. That was just fantastic.

    Starwars Tabletop RPG (FFG)

    Didn't see a dedicated thread for this so figured I'd start one. I've been playing it for the last couple months and really enjoying the system and I'm wondering if anyone else is playing or wants to play (no experience necessary). I'm looking to start another campaign using Roll20 (I'm...

    Star Wars Rebels

    I forgot about the Lasat secret planet, good point. It would be kind of weird for Ezra to suddenly show up in the new trilogy after disappearing for like 35 years, but if they did it right it'd definitely be cool. I wouldn't be surprised if Kanan dies though, he's definitely got that feel for me...

    Star Wars Rebels

    A friend convinced me a couple months to watch The Clone Wars series, and after being surprised by how good that (mostly) was, I decided to give rebels a shot. I just finished it tonight after binging all 3 seasons and I have to say I was completely blown away by how good it was. Especially the...

    What's the deal with this game these days? As someone who hasn't played in years I've been on a starwars kick recently, I keep thinking about trying it out again. Is it worth it at all?

    Lord of the Rings Online

    What's the deal with this game these days? I played years ago (around 2011-ish) for a while and really liked it, but eventually just sort of drifted away. I kind of forgot about it until recently. Is there still any population left or active dev teams on it? How is the game these days?

    Stranger Things

    Finally just watched it myself after people telling me how good it was. I watched the entire season in one day...I feel slightly ashamed of that, but also strangely proud. It was fantastic aside from some minor nitpicks that others have already stated...like a few too many cleche's at some...

    Game development career thread:

    Ah cool. That should be useful. I'm not doing an inventory like that but the methods you used I think will help a lot in figuring out how to make the menu's I need as well. I'm doing a 4X-style space strategy game so I need menu's that can scale to the information present. IE a menu that...

    I was afraid of that. I can do basic UI functions no problem, but my current project is going to involve a fairly large amount of UI work to be functional. What I've been doing so far is basically what you described - lots of child objects, tedious placement, and experimenting just to see how to...

    Not sure if this is the right thread, but have any of you guys used Unity much? I'm working on a game right now for fun in my spare time, and I've gotten pretty good with unity but I'm really terrible at working on the UI. Does anyone know any good UI tricks/addons/guides for unity that helps...

    Warhammer 40k

    So I used to be a hardcore 40k guy and still love the universe, but fell out of reading the books after burning through probably 100 of them. I want to say Prospero Burns or somewhere around there is the last HH book I read, and probably one of the last 40k books in general. How are the books...

    EVE Online

    Wormholes or FW are probably what you'd want then. Both have PvE and PvP elements that mix together. FW you can go around in small-ish ships and go PvE plex's to help capture territory, and you get LP from those you can use in the LP stores as a reward. PvP is fairly common in those as well and...

    Do you want to PvP? If you want small scale and cheap ship, low sec faction warfare area is the way to go. If you want small - medium scale PvP with shiny expensive stuff and a bit more unpredictability, wormholes. If you're interested in nullsec and fights that range from small to large and...
