    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    So what you’re saying is he was basically shot in the leg by a bowcaster?

    The Wandering Earth (2019)

    Watched this last night, wasn't bad; I was entertained at the spectacle. Interesting premise but the pacing was really fucking weird. Cuts were very abrupt at times and that was confusing for me. Overall, not bad but definitely a Chinese movie focused on their political viewpoints and...

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

    What timeline are they in now? That looks like it's in the future, way past the events of Endgame. Edit: Answered my own question. Why 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Will Avoid Any 'Avengers: Endgame' Tie-Ins

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I streamed it on a TCL Roku 4k HDR set with the native HBO Go app. I had no issues with visibility or clarity and my set is calibrated correctly at eye level. I absolutely believe that most people watch TV on a washed out, out of the box Best Buy configured flat screen that they've mounted...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Don't disagree. Someone with more literary knowledge would have to confirm this, but from what I've understood GRRM likes to suck the air out of the room when it comes to expectation. This feels like it's one of those moments where what was expected to happen isn't going to, just purely to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I fully acknowledge this is stupid but clearly is the direction the writers have taken. Without a complete series to go off of, who knows how GRRM was going to end it. It feels very rushed. I really wanted the NK to just eradicate everyone and march on KL. Up until Arya's magic leap, I...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's Game of Thrones though, not Game of Undead. I've never read the books so i have zero context outside of the show, but when it originally launched I had someone explain to me that is was about people ignoring this threat of the NK for their stupid fights over rulership and dominion. All...

    You can get a ton of gear farming the landmarks and especially at DZ50 with caches.

    The Division 2

    Curious so I know when I get home, how much time to get to WT5 with the new mission and Tidal Basin? Hour or 2?

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964 Good read, explains a lot. What a fucking shit show. I've never been on the "fuck EA" bandwagon, but honestly fuck game development period at this point by any company that does this shit.

    Electronic Dance Music

    Caught a little bit of the Chainsmokers closing set last night and I was actually impressed that they incorporated live drums and singing, was quite a bit different from last years show. Played a couple tracks I hadnt heard yet that were pretty good, might have to see them on their tour now.

    The Division 2

    WT5 looks pretty good, really like how they have been handling progression. Every week it feels like a new game. Only real gripe i would have is that progressing from WT1 to WT4 didn't take that long and felt more like speedbumps than trials. Still have a ton of shit to do on the map though...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Times like this I wish we had some insider information on what the fuck is actually going on... it's to the point where this shit show seems like it can't get worse but then they release a patch and it does. It's unfortunate that there's little to no chance of a class action lawsuit over this...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Simplest answer is usually correct. They rushed the game and put in artificial limiters to prevent people from discovering these faults until after they invested enough time to prevent a lawsuit or refund. It’s a total fuck you to gamers and a complete cash grab. Maybe it’s retribution for...

    At this point there should be refunds. This shit is so broken... great post, well worth the read if you want to understand why, with math. https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/b1bcbx/powerscaling_why_loot_doesnt_matter_anymore_math/

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    This is exactly why it's not in there - I think it would have very quickly highlighted the broken math and stat calculations. They really did all they could to ensure this wasn't discovered until people hit the end game grind and started min/maxing.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I have a theory about this game now - This is a cash grab by EA, there is no intent on longevity. I know... surprise! If you look at what content is there right now, it's clear that the only real thing to chase is the legendary freelancer challenge for that yet to be seen vinyl. To complete...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yeah, the core gameplay is really fun. There are some maddening things at times but it's redeemable if they could get their act together with patch deployment and their head out from underwater on some of the bugs.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Played a bunch last night when the loot drop rates were raining Masterworks and Legendaries, felt great and how it should be. Apparently that was unintentional again? What the absolute fuck? I'm not sure if this is utter incompetence with development and deployment or ignorance in how the...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Thats cute coming from an internet tough guy. Movie was great, thought it was fun and enjoyable. Maybe move out of your mom's basement after living your life as an internet troll into your 40's and you might lose the stick up your ass.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    My guess here is that the game isn’t at fault but it’s triggering some thermal condition that results in the console going into a safety made to avoid damage. So technically the game is pushing it to the extremes but the PS4 subsystem is doing what it’s suposed to - shut down hard to avoid...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    This one confuses me, honestly. We've all played Diablo 3 seasons right? It's the exact same shit every time. Grind max level, burn through story and run Greater Rifts over and over to empower gems and get drops. Same shit every single time. How is this any different? There's at least...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I played both weekends and had a chance to play the alpha. It has definitely improved each time. I've been impressed with the dev teams engagement on reddit/discord/twitter and think they will get stuff ironed out. This is by no means a "Destiny Killer" or anything, but it was fun to play...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    They should have called the last two weekends a beta and not a demo. Some of the concerns stem from an old build (8 weeks old now?) which at launch should have many of the QoL improvements people are complaining about. They intentionally crippled the client and I heard (need to find source)...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yeah that's sort of what's funny here - people are raging and grabbing the torches over unknown made up pricing for shit that honestly doesn't matter. This is why there are NDA's, those numbers are placeholders to flesh out UX issues.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Where are people getting this $20 number from? Just because the number said 2000 doesn't translate into $20.00. That's your doing. Fucking fake news, jesus people. I'm not condoning egregious pricing but noone has any idea what it is until they release it. Until then it's 100% conjecture.

    The rage against the skins is funny, who knows what the real pricing will be. I buy cosmetic shit sometimes just because I want it; I'm an adult and get to make that choice for myself. If it's reasonably priced (yes, that's subjective) then who cares if they do it or not. I just want to...

    Despite the issues, I played quite a bit this weekend. It was fun; not groundbreaking, best game ever or anything but it was fun. Flying around like Iron Man was cool and there are ways to extend it by using the environment that I thought were neat. Some of the things might get repetitive...
