    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you are a healer, once you get the Chromie talent that makes her into a tank, you can 7/8 or 8/8 the scenario without any other talents. If you are not a healer, it is significantly more difficult to 8/8 the dungeon. The only people I have seen do it were people who could off-heal and still...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    At $5, it is hard to pass up. Also if you play any mobile games or Hearthstone through Amazon, the 500 Amazon coins (in the $1 tier) is a no-brainer.

    Crossout

    You are 100% wrong about Gajin being grindy. They used to be good about it, but once they released War Thunder from early access, they pulled a LOT of shady shit. Raising prices on packs, then putting them on 'sale' at their original price for holidays/steam specials, massively increasing the...

    What did you just read?

    Just finished 'The Belgariad' series by David Eddings. Older 'epic fantasy' series that was recommended to me by people on another forum. It was not bad... but I find it more and more difficult to go back and read older series as I get used to reading more recent offerings in any genre. Series...

    American Gods

    The ifrit scene was in the book, so I am fine with it. The gun scene was not, so it came across as political pandering/virtue signaling. I hope this series goes the full length and that they spin off Anansi Boys. It was a much more solidly written book.

    Magic the Gathering the MMO

    Man, the 1997 PC game for MtG was amazing. I spent so much time playing it. I would love something like that, but doubt it. It will be another micro-transaction rich, pay-to-win game that will be dumped after milking the base.

    American Gods

    Not super happy with the addition this week. I can understand wanting to 'expand' the universe as the story in the book is not incredibly long (and the best parts of it are the side characters), but bringing super heavy-handed political crap into it is going to sour my taste for it quickly...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    Movie is bad and they should feel bad. Crappy Darkhorse comics that were made just to sell action figures were better than this cluster that they have stirred up.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    ^ Three Warden Towers daily at 300 Honor each. One World PVP Arena WQ every 6 hours at 500 Honor each. One Daily BG Win is 300 Honor (plus whatever you earn during the match - After the first win, the bonus is only 150). One Daily Arena Skirmish Win is 150 Honor. When it is the Battleground...

    Alien was a better movie. Aliens is a more enjoyable movie.

    The spiders (like 400k hp, fast respawn) on the demon island in Aszuna also count. It is where I did it on my characters after seeing the huge cluster that was the bat-cannons in Suramar.

    Heroes of the Storm

    This game is trash with the Overwatch people trying to get their quests done. So many people in big groups (3 or even 4 strong) who have no idea what they are doing, thinking it is a lane push game, etc. Makes just trying to get a quick match to finish a quest a pain in the balls.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Good luck. Krosus has some leeway with overgearing, but your group still has to not 'tard it up with the pitch phase. After that, everything is very tight in terms of mechanics. If your players are not good at doing them, it is going to be very, very, very rough. *From a guild stuck at 4/10 due...

    Dawn of War 3

    My sentiments exactly. Give me DoW1 with DoW2 (or 3) graphics. A new campaign/world map. I will give you $60 without hesitation. They keep trying to re-invent the wheel and failing. People who loved DoW1 tended to dislike DoW2 (I did at first. Campaign was fun, multiplayer not so much). It...

    And of course, they will spin this as fans not wanting things in the RTS/WH40k genres.

    I was going off of the book timelines. Which I guess are no longer cannon or whatever. *Shrug* I was big into the Aliens Universe growing up. All of the books (bad as some of them were), the comics, action figures, etc.

    Verizon launches gigabit FIOS for $70/month

    Look at you fancy city folk. I am pleased-as-punch with my 10m down, 1m up (even though it is more like 7-8 down and .5 up). Why, if I had a 1g down, I might verywell drown in things. That is what the cable companies are afraid of, right?

    I agree. It does not break the movie on it's own, but it is another straw on the poor camels back.

    Maybe. But you are telling me they could not find a woman pilot or at least a couple of pilots? I get it. There are gay people out there and they have every right to do whatever they want. But if I am sending people to seed/start a colony in a venture that likely costs billions, if not more...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    If they have artificial wombs, then sure. But that tech is not that far along at this point in the series or should not be. Otherwise, not sure why they would send a gay couple... you would want more women. So maybe bisexual ladies would work better than gay dudes?

    Half the people I know can barely be asked to get a +10 with the current Mythic system each week and they are going to make it less rewarding? /boggle I can understand the AP nerf after how lucrative it was at release, but it is getting way too heavy handed now. And WF/TF can suck a dick. It...

    The Armies of the Legionfall paragon chest has a chance to award a potion that gives you +200% damage against Demons for 15 minutes. It works on the challenge mode fights. So if you see it (Elixir of Greatest Demonslaying) on the AH for a not retarded price, it helps cheese them and will...

    Each character has to unlock Meatball. One Brawler's Guild invite works for all of your characters on that account.

    Guess I will pass until it ends up $20/in a bundle. Sucks. I really, really love the universe. Just they either do shit games or they do not give the good games the support they need.

    Just have to get to rank 3 and defeat Meatball to unlock the quest chain for him. Any DPS spec in like 850-860 should be able to do that in their sleep.

    Dawn of War 3

    Going to hold off on this until I have seen some 'average person' reviews. I loved the overworld campaign in Dawn of War 1, it reminded me of the Battle for Middle-earth games that I played as a teenager and it was just great. Dawn of War 2, while an awesome game, was nothing like an RTS that I...

    Minecraft

    Pre-whatever-the-patch-that-fucked-combat Minecraft is still loads of fun. Slogging through a Project Ozone 2 game with two friends. Like 60 hours x3 in and we are almost ready to leave the first planet! Current edition Minecraft with the stupid combat change is aids, however.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Apparently the missions can range from 3-6 DAYS to complete (Someone on MMOChamp said 12 Days, but I have not seen that high myself). If you get the 3 Day missions, they are worth doing, if barely based on what you could get from other missions in that time. After 4 Days, it is much less...

    You would think people would have put their legionfall resources into the Nether Disruptor so it would be up today, giving us a 900 ilvl world boss that would still be up on Tuesday, so we would be able to kill it twice with one building. Of course not. Command Center goooooo.

    Horror Recommendations

    God's Demon by Wayne Barlowe was pretty good. The entire story is set in Hell and is deeply religious in nature. Some of the imagery in it messed me up for a few weeks after reading it. 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King is one of my favorites. The Stand is good, but huge. As mentioned above, Clive...

    You can have 6 just by completing the current campaign quest. You can research to unlock a 7th slot (or a new troop type). PSA: Make sure you have 2,500 Nethershards for Tuesday. Khadgar's quest of the week (Shard Times) requires you to hand in 2500 of them, then he gives you 2499 of them back.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Challenge mission duration is random as well, which is really lame. My Mage just had it with a base duration of 1 Day, 4 hours. Got it down to 22 hours. My Warlock alt has 3 Days and can get it down to a minimum of 2 Days, 18 hours.

    Hearthstone

    My issue is that the 'Adventure' set allowed you time to recover from spending your gold/dust stash on the previous expansion and start building towards the next. With all of the releases being Expansions, there is no recovery period. I can understand why Blizzard is doing it ($$$), but it does...
