    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Supposedly, RE: Rogue requirements (meaning, I have to find the source), you just have to be level 10 and/or have the "can unlock another class" requirement. You'd think it'd be "must be current through 2.2 main scenario" for obvious reasons there, personally. As to their gear, why bother...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    If Dredd gets a se-/prequel, I will take this as a sign from the heavens, and then go forward with writing Fox a nasty note about Almost Human and how pretentious they are about their marketing of "hot new TV shows" which they undermine for no rational reason.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This is probably me talking out of my ass, but it seems to me (at least from DPS and/or healing balance wise) that obfuscating DPS behind 'average potency per GCD' makes it easier to plan your numbers around, no? Except Lustrate, because we all know how good Lustrate is as a healing device...

    [Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

    RE: 5 People. I always got the impression they were: "Ishida, Aizen, Kenpachi, Ichigo, MYSTERY-PERSON". I say Ishida partly because he was specifically recruited. As to this last chapter, it had so much obvious-things-were-obvious I could probably sell Kubo the proverbial real estate in...

    Mantis Rider being bought out to the surprise of no one, said Lightning Angel fans everywhere. I should've just drafted Jeskai last night after opening it AND a foil Jeskai Ascendancy (in two different packs). Dig Through Time seeing play makes R&D happy, I'm sure. There's an amusing...

    Considering the Live Letter is, what, the 19th? I'd say the week after, two at the most. For sure we'll find out then. RE: PAL/GLD - They need to give them more use of MP as well, and/or make Riot Blade meaningful as a tanking device. Even Maim's combo is useful for both points, because of...

    As far as I know, the only attunement changes of import were Dungeons (and Adventures?) becoming Bronze level requirements instead of Silver.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    One comment on the cell thing: did you notice how the clothes were in the shot? They were folded neatly on the floor. I thought it was a nice subtle detail to manipulate them into thinking he really was gone. The part I did not understand, and this is partly my ignorance about Creel, is how...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Enver Gjokaj on Agent Carter?! Yes please. Premiere was pretty rocking. If they can keep this kind of pace and storytelling up all season, I'd be astonished if the ratings don't pick up.

    MTG thread

    It was nice to open two Siege Rhinos (one was the promo). It was not nice to face down Surrak + Sagu Mauler + Savage Knuckleblade in the same damn pool. That game ended with us both at 1 life before his Mystic of the Hidden Way (the 3/2 unblockable) finished me off. Never drew my direct...

    They must be adding more Housing servers and/or Wards if they're doing an 8(+?) hour maintenance for 2.38 Monday night. I can't imagine what else besides personal housing would require that long of a downtime to patch in. Would be kind of funny if they also patched in Coil 1 Savage at the same...

    Though, to be fair, the UI in FF14 could use some serious quality of life improvements. The keynote speaker being: "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?" for almost everything. 'Yes, I want to convert my 100% spiritbond, melded item." "Yes, I want to desynthesize this green/pink/blue item."...

    The (450) tome cap, current raid, Crystal Tower lootlock all reset at the same time (Tuesdays). It's not based on when you did it last/capped it/etc. As for the relic materia, you'll probably be able to just spiritbond jewelry and lucksack your way into what you need faster than it would...

    I can still remember doing the entry passwords for King's Quest III and IV. I'm old. The Atari ST we had for KQ IV required me to do some really WEIRD business with the floppy drive. Normally, I'd stick it in at the "enter disk #" prompt and it would refuse to acknowledge that I had done...

    Silly query for those that have levelled their desynth to a meaningful level (can do i70 gear): I was planning to just desynth armor exclusively (ie - raise Weaver/Leatherworker/Armorer) but I keep looking at fish going "gtfo of my bags" plus the Demimateria and other rare things they...

    Remind the class why you'd micromanage a knockback and stun against a raid boss that's immune to both. (What I'm saying is you really only have 2 buttons to keep an eye on, one of which is an AE.)

    Even though I'm 50 I'm still not sure how I feel about WildStar, despite not putting much effort getting to the raid phase. I think part of it is that I picked Technologist for a reason but it'll be another MONTH before they get it to the same stage as the other tradeskills (read: research)...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    My only contribution to this discussion is to disagree about the (Eldan) lore point. Some of the datacubes you really had to read between the lines on, though. I suppose I probably should explain WHY I disagree, a little: - They were rather prevalent with the Eldan lore, which was the...

    Ha. The Longhaft side quest had me conflicted on whether to be horrified with how brazen the double-entendres were, or impressed they managed to get that through potential censoring. I still think the best cutscene I've seen in this game is the one with the. Lore wise, the 2.3 main...

    Dungeons & Dragons - New & Old

    I haven't followed 5e at all, so I'm here wondering exactly how much it differs (or resembles) 3.x and/or 4.x. In other words, is there a Cliff's Notes link describing 5e? I don't really want to spend hours trying to dig through wizards.com for an article that MIGHT be what I want.
