    Wheel of Time

    I recall Lan goes through similar issues later in the books when Moiraine disappears for a good long while (the incident with the twisted red doorframe), except obviously he doesn't have hissy fits with bitchy Moiraine since she's not there anymore (and isn't such a bitch in the books). He goes...

    Yeah, send her to the old man so they can shit the bed together.

    Wheel of Time

    I did finish all the books, and I know they're not indigenous to the Aiel Waste. However, it seemed to me when I read the books their exodus was thousands of years and hundreds of generations ago, so it's a little odd to me they're still pale with red hair. I'm also aware of the lore reasons for...

    Wheel of Time

    To be fair, the Aiel being fair-skinned redheads who also veil themselves and wear towels on their heads while living in tents in an arid wasteland, never really made much sense in the books. There's a reason why desert populations are dark-skinned. That said, Rand being white and redhead...

    What are you playing?

    After finishing Tunic 100% (great game but goddamn it's cryptic, basically a mix of classic Zelda and Dark Souls), I've been playing Blasphemous 2, which also feels like Dark Souls but in a Metroidvania, a bit like Hollow Knight but without the cutesy graphics and in an even more fucked up...

    Wheel of Time

    The reason why Rand can fly and teleport during the battle against Ba'alzamon is because it takes place entirely in Tel'haran'rhiod, the Dream World, which is where Bal'azamon was all this time, hence why he kept appearing in the three boys' dreams. He does those things without really knowing...

    Wheel of Time

    In the first book, the three boys have recurring nightmares where they believe they see the Dark One, who calls himself Ba'alzamon (Heart of the Dark in the old tongue), the name the Trollocs use for the Dark One (the Dark One's true name is Shaitan but saying it out loud sometimes has...

    Ahsoka

    The Nightsisters, such as Morgan Elsbeth, can raise undead minions called thralls. Considering he was working for Elsbeth and dark green mist spewed out of his slashed chestplate it's safe to assume he was a thrall from the beginning. That could explain why he was a remaining inquisitor long...

    Wheel of Time

    That's fair, but there's a wide range of casting choices between looking "slow" and looking like you lick windows sprinkled with paint chips. The problem is that his "thinking things through" isn't really getting through to the audience in the show, he's done almost nothing except kill his own...

    Wheel of Time

    Funny, I think Lan isn't really a big issue, he's just a little bit more emotional than he was in the books but he's otherwise a pretty convincing Warder. But they just gave him shit scenes in this season because of all the bickering with depowered Moiraine that wasn't in the books.. For me the...

    Super Knight Man in Steel - Made by Our Own pwe!

    Any way you could put in keybindings? I don't use a QWERTY so that makes the game really hard to play since WASD for me is ZQSD and positionning my fingers over the actual WASD keys makes them completely counterintuitive. I'd like to say the game is fun but I die in 20 seconds due to the keys...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    Saw Indy 5 today with the wife and kid (kid saw the first four films only last week and loved them). We all had a good time, wife and I would rank it better than 4 by quite a bit.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    In Ocarina of Time after you finish the Goron dungeon I recall CHILD Link had to run away from a group of Gorons that wanted to snu-snu Link to death so it's not just the Zoras, Link is just a goddamn fuck magnet.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    For the drums, the general location is hinted at in the quest text in your Adventure Log. I found a Gerudo wandering seller on the road that said something about hearing drums, and from there it's pretty easy to find the source of the noise.

    Wheel of Time

    There are several hints throughout the books that even in ancient times before the Age of Legends the world had glass skyscrapers and planes and other technology that looks like ours. Notably there's a few artefacts from our era in the White Tower archives.

    The same thing happened in Breath of the Wild, shooting a lynel with ancient arrowheads will make it disappear without loot. It's a last resort survival strategy, but you don't get the rewards.

    I wonder if those weird ass outfits are a misguided attempt to create "distant-future-medieval-fantasy" outfits.. considering the books take place in our distant future, that is. Hard to believe they greenlit Loial's appearance, they made him look like the love child of Tiny Lister Jr and...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Exploring the underground gives me Dark Souls vibes, with the poisonous gloom areas and weird creatures and the creepy atmosphere. Nintendo was inspired by Skyrim for Breath of the Wild, but I definitely find a little FromSoft inspiration in this one.

    Arbiter Grounds is a different area, the lights will reveal a structure that wasn't there before so it's mandatory. If you follow the light beams in the sand shroud, you should regularly stumble upon ascending winds that let you hover above the shroud and see your heading better, that's how I...

    There is a third mirror in a similar pillar, but the beam goes above it, you have to find a way to raise the mirror pillar. The way to do that is close to said pillar.

    I found one fairy but didn't upgrade any armor yet, I just found it odd that the fourth temple would be one-shot but then the Hyrule Castle area boss only takes like 5 or 6 hearts away. I found the Master Sword while I was trying to reach some sky islands to explore, didn't have any breadcrumbs...

    I find it strange how the game suddenly hit a difficulty spike for me for no apparent reason... I did the first three temples (Wind then Water then Fire) with no issues whatsoever even on the bosses, then I went to the desert area and did the Lightning Temple with 13 hearts and for some reason...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    It's a testament to this game that when I got to the main quest to go explore the 4 regions, I decided to go for Zora's Domain first like in BOTW but somehow ended up getting lost doing shrines and various stuff and ooh-a- tower and what's-that-over-there and ended up in Rito Village.. then...

    The various Wizzrobes you encounter in the world carry sticks or scepters with a gem fused to it, that's one way to discover the elemental properties of the gems. The other way is to read the description of the gems in your inventory that flat out tells you rubies will make fire, topaz will...

    I find myself having Metroid Prime vibes playing this game, some of the darker creepier areas like the underground along with the semi-sentient gloom reminding me of Phazon, maybe also how you start the game with all your stuff and then lose everything exactly like in Metroid games and not at...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    As far as how much crazy shit you can do to get things done, this Zelda feels closer to Just Cause. A bunch of enemy camps sprinkled over a huge world, lots of meaningless fun to be had, can pull and yank objects and throw them around, can make explosions, and the story is there but it's not...

    Mortal Kombat 1

    I guess it's always a little bit the reason why they stop big numbers and go back to one, but in the story it makes sense, with MK11 main villain being the goddess of time and the ending having Liu Kang become the new god that will have to rewrite reality.

    I find it odd that some are complaining about the lack of continuity when this is one of the very few Zelda games that actually goes out of its way to tell you you're the same Link with the same Zelda as the previous game, people acknowledge what happenad and what you did, hell the stables even...
