    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hm? No. You just need to sign up for SMS Protection if you already have a physical authenticator. (IE: Let Blizzard text you) ----- On the topic of old raids being borked, they said it was not 'intentional' and that they will work on fixing it - But the current raid issues (falling through the...

    Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

    Critics only care about virtue signaling anymore. This movie did not push social commentary hard or make people feel guilty about having a 'first world life', so they put it down. It is just a fun action romp with lots of laughs, good backgrounds, and eye-candy for most.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    HP/Damage Scaling is applying to the old raids as well. Makes some Heroic MoP fights difficult (Ra-Den, Thunder Lord, Amber Shaper... and Mythic SoO is very borked - Sha requiring 2,500,000+ DPS to beat, Puddle trash before Paragons dealing massive damage) and many WoD (both Heroic and Mythic)...

    New silithid rares in the phased (have to have killed Argus) Silithus drop a battle pet. Three mobs, one kill per day for a chance at it. Other new battle pet is from the Postmaster Quest... which spawns from a letter near the mailbox outside of the mage tower in Dalaran. It has a 2-ish hour...

    People who saw the writing on the wall started to stockpile them. I have just shy of 300 of them. So they upped it to prevent people like me from getting multiples the first day it is available. They just 'nerfed' the ability to be prepared.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It was not posted anywhere, but it makes sense. They did it with the Demon Hunter Class, I imagine they will with the Allied Races - as they did not make it into 7.3.5 and unless I am mistaken, the only patch after this is scheduled to be the 'pre-patch'.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Allied Races (with the exception of Zanadalari/New Humans - they require the new zones) will be the pre-Order bonus that comes with 8.0. Buy now for 2-4 (maybe 6?) week headstart with the new races! Be ready for BfA! Etc.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    I hope this game gets Expansions/DLC. First one did not and I would love them forever if they did.

    I thoroughly enjoyed all of the King's Bounty games up to Dark Side. Way, way too many balance issues in Dark Side to really enjoy it.

    I have no idea what this ship does, but I want it.

    Dresden Files

    Codex Alera was pretty good. It got real weird, real fast, but it was a satisfactory series. Cinder Spires is hot garbage.

    The Predator (2018)

    Nope. Apparently, Ahnold turned down an appearance in the film. Leaked 'rumors' had him showing up towards the end and congratulating the kid/his dad, telling them they are the real predators, then taking them away in a helicopter to a secret anti-predator group.

    M+15s drop 940. Weekly chest is a 955? High TFs from it as well. World bosses on Argus are only 930, but chance to WF/TF up. Other than that, your only upgrade path would be to fish for WF/TF from Antorus Normal (930+. Maybe get some tier pieces, depending on class/spec, they are worth a...

    Factorio is good if you like building incredibly complex supply chains/machines. Rimworld is good if you like suffering. The good kind.

    Black Mirror

    Yep. Whenever I talk the series up to someone, I recommend they skip the first episode.
  18. Rime

    Black Mirror

    They are not (in my opinion). USS Callister was the strongest episode of the season.

    Yep. When Valve was the 'only' game in town and you had to scrape/fight to get a spot on it, they had more clout to push for sales. Publishers have always been able to say no, but if Gaben (not really him) asked, you would agree.

    Steam lost lots of it's leverage when Amazon got heavy into the digital game business, then add in things like Humble, GoG, GamersGate, and so on... it means that all of these places have sales that are usually matched, so Steam does not get to do the deep discounts they once did. As for...

    James S.A. Corey - The Expanse

    Yep. Series is really writing itself into a bit of a corner. I am not sure how they could overcome the extra-dimensional aliens that wiped out the Protos, who have/had technology that might as well be magic.

    Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

    Thoroughly enjoyed this. Would give it an easy 80/85 out of 100. Jack Black steals the show whenever he is on the screen and the Rock has great comedy chops.

    Black Mirror

    ArkAngel was... alright? It was predictable. The only 'huh' part was... ...Really not a good episode, but not bad. Crocodile is probably the most boring, slowest moving, least interesting episode in the entire series. I considered shutting it off a few times or fast forwarding. Also... if you...

    Black Mirror

    It is in my top 3. White Christmas, Shut Up and Dance, and USS Callister.

    D:OS2 was a day one purchase for me, which is super rare. They have fixed most of the issues I had with the game (UI problems, Skills only 'working' if you have that character selected, inventory issues), but the final act/city is still messy. Lots of 'what the heck am I doing here?' and loads...

    Black Mirror

    First episode of the season was amazing. Great production value, the only thing keeping it from being 'perfect' was the somewhat predictable ending involving the antagonist.

    My sentiments exactly.

    Stellaris

    Steam Link lets you stream to your television. Have not tried it with Stellaris, but is lots of fun with ARK. Also, majormajor update 'soon'. So finish up your games or consider putting them off until the Cherryh update is out. Ascension now baseline, no need for the Utopia Expansion (though...

    Those people are the 'casual' Rimworld players. I would honestly say, unless you are playing with plenty of 'Super Easy Victory' mods, you are still a newb in Rimworld until 200+ hours. Game is dense and insane.

    Bright (2017)

    Most of the low critic reviews are because they went into it thinking it would be a BLM/SJW/Heavy social narrative. It was an action film.

    Bright (2017)

    Amuses me to no end that it has a 30% rating from Critics, but 90% from audiences. Gee, I wonder why.

    Doki Doki was pretty good and I am not a huge fan of anime (certainly not visual novels). Friend convinced me it was very dark and messed up. It was. B+. Would recommend.

    After they removed the gimics/flash sales/etc, the Steam Christmas and Thanksgiving sales are pretty much identical. A month is usually not long enough for a game to have a significant price reduction. Christmas to Summer Sale is good or Summer Sale to Thanksgiving, but yeah.

    Roseanne

    That and Roseanne had a great deal of clout with the last season. Ratings were down, but it was still one of the biggest shows in America. She tried to get a few different series off the ground, but the company wanted her to do more Roseanne and kept passing on any of the projects she wanted to...

    Roseanne

    Last season of Rosanne, where everything went crazy, was the titular character writing stories to help her cope with Dan dying. She never won the lottery. She never fought terrorists. Etc.

    Godless

    Show also does not overstay it's welcome. Glad it was a miniseries ('Limited Series') and not something they tried to stretch out over 10+ episodes.
