    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So having the other leaders come to the Shadowlands at the end would seem to indicate there is not big time skip or etc shenanigans going on...and popping back and forth to the afterlife is just like taking a trip to the mall. The Dragonflight leak seems too thorough to be a fake, and it does...

    They do such a terrible job of promoting this show! Good lord in heaven.

    Weird West

    Be prepared to save scum like crazy unless you are a superhuman reflex ninja. Even with save scumming like mad I nearly threw the controller across the room while doing a sneaky brothel quest. The overall concept of you switching bodies as you go through the game is interesting in that it...

    Weird West

    Was playing this earlier and it's quite good (and on Gamepass!). It is not based on Deadlands, however, and the devs get really salty when you suggest it might be. (I had asked them about it and they insisted it was based on the 'weird west' pulp genre as a whole and not on a particular IP)

    Xbox Megathread

    Weird West arrived today on GamePass. I had been very intrigued by this when I saw the announcement last year, so I'm happy to see its arriving 'for free'. Its certainly a more tactical game than I had anticipated!

    Playstation 5

    Lots of sour grapea on Twitter after the disastrous PS5 drop yesterday. It's bonkers that we are 18 months in and the things are still gone instantly.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    After the patch yesterday I lost all my pre-order bonus thingys, most notable as I had characters who were using some of those textures / colors on their armor. Contacted their technical support and it was fixed within minutes, so that's a plus.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What a total trainwreck of an expansion. I get that they had a lot going on over the last couple of years, but holy crap this whole thing was bad.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    Anthony Burch left Gearbox after the DLC for Borderlands 2. He was brought in staff by Mikey Neumann who himself left Gearbox after he was diagnosed with MS. Borderlands 3 seemed to suffer from his absence as a creative force. I don't know who they got to write Wonderlands but I do want to...

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    Yeah if its a 'Repeating Cast' spell you can indeed shoot while the cast is going off. This ONLY works in the primary (aka left hand) spell-slot if you are using Ambi-Hexterous as the right hand is also the 'gun' hand.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    Having the second-class gives some interesting added flair for various builds. Its nice that its not a complete intelligence check in that there is a predefined 'best' pairing for given classes.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    I've experienced the 'lag' today on Xbox when it loses connection to SHIFT and is trying to reconnect, so it seems to be affecting more than just PC bros. Thoroughly enjoying the chaos of this game AND how differently the classes play from one another.

    Non-spoiler : I made the mistake of drinking a beverage at 'magic missile' and nearly choked.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    There are a ton of D&D and general gamer references. Skeletons who yell that you are a 'filthy casual', for example. But they also tell things like trying to liberate the skeleton trapped inside your flesh, so there are some gags non-gamers can appreciate. I dig the small touches, like...

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    I was wondering why Paladin Mike sounds exactly like Lorelei until Tina's explanation that Mike wasn't her character, it was the character of some barista she met on the EchoNet. We know from BL3 that Lorelei would indeed have still been a barista at the time the framing sequence of the game...

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    This is much better than BL3 so far. The combat and action is the same (never was a problem) but the storyline / voice acting / general mayhem is much more in tune with what one expects. I think maybe the legacy of Borderlands as an IP got in the way of them doing the necessary weirdness.

    Enjoying this so far. It's funny and corny in all the right ways. I realize Ashley Burch is having a moment what with Aloy in Horizon Forbidden West and Tiny Tina in this coming out back-to-back

    I didn't hate it. The Covenant were done very well and I'm a big fan of Pablo Schreiber so I'll give this a few more episodes to settle itself.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands

    I have always played Borderlands as a member of the PC master race, but elected to go Xbox Series X for this given that there's the universal crossplay functionality. I'm not absolutely sure this was the best call, but my PC is showing its age and finding a damn video card is a pain....

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Having capped my Faith and getting tired of being beat like a red headed stepchild I upped my Endurance so I could wear some real armor... ... and it doesn't seem to do jack? The difference between being naked and wearing heavy metal seems almost inconsequential. If I get hit I get owned...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    So reading that if you use an Incantation Seal that scales primarily with something other than Faith that it wont effect Heals / Buffs as those only scale off Faith despite what the Incant Scaling stat shows. Can anyone confirm or deny this based on their first hand knowledge? There are just...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    The effects are good and I actually like a majority of the characters (not Burnham...) but Christ on a cracker the writing is lazy as fuck.

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    I think part of the issue is that Avatar is a film that was so closely associated with the amazing 3D. Post converted movies for 3D and even animated flicks that get a 3D rendering are no where near as cool as the original film....and so people have soured on 3D in general as a result. I...

    Ms. Marvel

    She's just a fan of Captain Marvel instead. Which, as others have said, is a bit odd since she's not exactly been a known thing as far as we are aware. I'm guessing during the blip-time she must have been seen doing Avengers stuff?

    Ms. Marvel

    Interesting way to change her powers to be more 'TV budget' friendly (and to make sure that Mr. Fantastic doesn't look like he's a Ms. Marvel knock-off when he shows up.)

    Did I miss a whole part of Alicia's plot? She got the one promotion but then somehow a second promotion comes about and is related to an offer of the corporate apartment or something else? I did notice there were a few elements that seemed like they had no pay off (like the investigator) and...

    Watched it last night. It's a cute twist on the 'coming of age' trope mixed in with a substantial helping of 'tiger mom'.

    I liked the backstory stuff with Luke. I figured he was actually some sort of badass military guy given that he earned his way into the upload . I also like the quirky self-consistent details like the ring drives. It's small things that make it seem more plausible.

    Gloomhaven

    They just announced the MSRP for Frosthaven will be $250. This is much higher than the estimate during the Kickstarter but lots of changes resulted in a much higher price point. Existing backers are fine, but that is a huge number for a retail boardgame...
