    King's Bounty II

    Got the originals on some sort of steam sale. Otherwise would never have tried it, didn't look like my type of game. But ended up playing them more than I want to admit. Something addictive about the first games, hopefully they can capture that again.

    Lucas loves Abrams, for making Episodes 1 - 3 look almost good.

    Biomutant (Open World RPG, 5/25)

    Played a bit last night. It's not a bad game, not a great game, but I enjoyed the time. Might not be worth $60 but that's subjective, it definitely doesn't deserve the hate. The furry mutant apocalypse somehow works. My main complaint is that they could have done much more with the concept...

    Biomutant (Open World RPG, 5/25)

    Small studio can't afford to buy reviews and gets put to the grinder. Color me surprised. It may or may not be worth it, but I only listen to reviews from players (who don't get paid). Sounds like it's a small studio effort with a AAA price. Mileage will vary depending on what you expect from a...

    Black Desert

    Bdo has a ton of PvE content, way more than most people can realistically do. But it's not your traditional mmo with group dungeons and raids, etc.. If your main mmo game reference is WoW then BDO will feel quite alien. BDO has quests and you can grind mobs for xp. But that is a minor portion...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Never really understood the Tebow hate. He won games for the Doncos. And is just a winner in general. He's also a decent human being. The antipathy of the media and others towards people of faith is tiresome. I'm not a religious person, but give respect to those that are. Most of them are...

    Kennedy still on top rolling down the dung balls. I'll be excited when she is replaced, not before.

    GW2 definitely has a high skill ceiling. But it's not gear based. Getting the best gear is important but once you have it you are pretty much done. Gear doesn't reset after an expansion comes out. Different types of gear stats go in and out of vogue, so you sometimes have to farm new gear with...

    Midnight Run (1988)

    First movie I thought of when they said Grodin had passed. Fun movie, easy to watch, great chemistry. Pretty tired of De Weirdo, so I don't watch his movies much anymore. But I would watch this one again.

    Biomutant (Open World RPG, 5/25)

    Tired of the post apocalypse, hate furry animals, and never want to see another mutant again. But for some reason this game makes a cheap fuck like me want to buy it at full price. Just watched all of the steam videos. They did a great job on those. Hopefully the game is just as good. Steam...

    New World

    Cash shops are not the reason AAA mmos are a rarity these days. It has more to do with the cost / time of developing mmos in this new age of mobile games. It's hard to convince the bean counters at gaming companies to spend tens of millions on a mmo (that will probably fail) when a mobile game...

    I believe they said that the xp pots would not be available at release. Almost every game sells boosts of some kind. WoW makes millions off of them. Don't understand the hand wringing.

    Tenet (2020)

    Trip flick. Nolan is the master at getting studios to give him tons of money to make very weird flicks. Weird is good though, even if the movie isn't (Interstellar). Too much formulaic pablum coming out of Hollywood. I liked this one, but had to keep rewinding bits to keep up (keep back?)...

    Stowaway (2021)

    Didn't watch the movie but a stowaway in space would have to be sent out of the airlock within minutes of any launch for the crew to be able to reach the destination. And that still might not be soon enough. Reality is why Hollywood sci fi is mostly garbage.

    Red Sonja for the Modern Audience

    Tough role to cast. Tough movie to make. Doesn't matter who they put in the role, these types of movies almost always suck. Besides, the source material isn't workable with live action (chain mail bikinis are not a thing). So they will have to change it quite a bit to make it work. Having said...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Gruden / Mayock continue with the head scratchers. And about half of the past draft pics so far have been busts. Which is pretty much what happens for most draft picks for all teams, but for the Raiders a lot of those are high tier picks. They went against the grain and didn't get value. I...

    Tom Clancy's Without Remorse (2021)

    I tried. Gave up about 3 quarters in. Not enough action, too much back story and slow sections that I had to fast forward through. Acting wasn't great but I think the real issue is that the writer, director and editor suck.

    In times of hardship (most of history and prehistory) a fat well fed woman indicated wealth. Everyone wants to be wealthy. Nowadays fat means slovenly cheeto eating couch potato fuckwit.

    Game's name is now Elyon. Probably should change the thread title. Closed beta is coming early May. You can sign up at the website. It's Kakao Games who use to publish BDO, so you can use that account if you have one. Elyon Don't hold out much hope for this. Kakao will be wanting a...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Yep. Usually the best way to win a SB though is to have an awesome defense and a QB who is at least good enough to get some points and not turn it over. Trent Dilfer comes to mind. Even Payton Manning at the end of his career was more a game manager. His best days behind him.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    It's interesting that the league and the Texans have not disowned Watson yet. Given the current "me too" culture, the NFL would throw Watson under the bus in a micro-second if there were any concrete proof of misdeeds. He may yet get thrown under the bus, but so far Watson is still a NFL QB.

    Black Desert

    I love the ability to afk and progress in this game. For someone like me who works waaay too fucking much, it's very cool to be able to set up my toon up and come back 12 hours later to see tangible results. My main toon has over 200 days played now and I doubt i've spent more than 5 or 6 of...

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    Saw this on HBO. Entertaining popcorn movie. You can't take these to seriously, just enjoy the ride. Liked the previous one "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" a bit more. The acting and dialogue are definitely the weak points in these movies but the CGI and fight scenes are glorious. I like that...

    Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan

    Just kill off Ryan and make him the series focus. Better character and better actor. Not going to happen given the source material, but it would be a much better show. It's not watchable as it is.

    Be sure to research whatever life skills you intend to do. Some of them like Training and Farming have almost no use for mastery gear. It doesn't hurt, but not really worth investing silver in the high mastery gear for those professions.

    Gangs of London

    Saw the first episode a few weeks back. Really great start. Was looking forward to more when I realized it was just a tease on Amazon Prime (US) to get me to pay for AMC+. Ugg. I'm too cheap. Hope they put the rest on prime eventually.
