Launch GW2 is my favorite MMO of all time, and Heart of Thorns is my least-favorite MMO expansion. I played some in Path of Fire and that was better but I just can't recapture that pull with all of the other stuff they have layered on top of that base experience.

I will second that, this was awesome for a long time, and then it just lost the thread, I didn't think it was SJW reasons but its been a few years. For a long run it was a really, really great book, though. I was excited to see they were making the show, and the art style looked very true to...

Flat, if you put two rows of keys on it, it looks like something Peter Gabriel or Martin Gore would have played in 1984. Upright, "World's biggest consumer internet router" is so the wrong look for this gen.

In the first battle, as I understand it, he doesn't have the Omega force and he is still Uxas; I can't remember if she calls him Darkseid there or not.

The fuck. Have you ever read the books? I don't just have issues with all blackwashing; there are lots of characters, white, black, etc. not in-line/fitting with the characters as they are in the books and it sucks. [Edit: Djisktra for example is supposed to be a hulking brute but is actually...

Going to disagree about Djikstra. I mean, I love Graham McTavish but he is nothing like what I imagined Djikstra to be. At least he is a great actor, so there's that. So much of this casting is like a USC stage production of The Witcher. Fuck this lady and her stupid politics. I thought...

This. I have come to hate fiddle-fucking with my kids' PCs. I have three rigs that are 3/4th built but need to swap CPUs to do bios upgrades, or I need a new video card to complete, or the LED fan controllers don't work and I don't want to spend an afternoon when I am working 70 hour weeks...

The joke was more around the dates; call it what you will.

As I said at launch, Sony totally lost the thread with the hardware this gen. I guess in context, if you are only thinking in a big room context, sure but the shape is so unusual, and not in a good way. "Piano-Big" is how I described it at launch. I look forward to 2025 when I can buy the PS5...

Yeah, I really liked it. Is that an unsullied take, without the original or 12 years of superhero movies? No. It was light-years ahead of what I expected, missing much of the normal Zach Snyder-esque touches to which I am become accustomed, most of the grim-dark DC seemed to relegated to...

WB shouldn't have said anything before releasing this cut re: No more DCEU movies. I think a Sequel to this Justice League would do great box office but they can't get out of their own way. A big part of their problem is you can't start off with Infinity War/Endgame, but that's a different...

Holy fuck that was amaze-balls, so much better than the theatrical cut, and way better than most Zach Snyder movies end up. Could have been an amazing DCEU if they hadn't fucked it up. I understand getting rid of all the Cyborg stuff for time but it was good to see in this cut, even if in RL...

Used "Welcome to the party, pal" during a major incident call the other day. Ended up explaining Bruce Willis, Die Hard and Nakatomi Plaza to several under-30s. "The villain was Alan Rickman. You know 'Cancel Christmas' from Robin Hood? Not that Robin Hood. A bad Robin Hood with Kevin Cosner...

I thought this was going to be like six 45 min episodes?

I am playing this one on the PS5 and I have already preordered, so Game Pass/no Game Pass doesn't matter so much to me. I finished blueing out my Pyro tonight. I finally got the hang it, got into the spirit of it, I guess but seems pretty frail compared to the Devastator/Murder Machine that is...

Me neither.

I like them all. The pyro is probably the weakest in the demo but supposedly they get way better as you go on. I played the Trickster last and it seems to be my easiest clears, somehow. Probably that is just the 1D10T effect.

I wish they had said "Feud with George Lucas" 2011-2021 because that joke is going to suck if he actually dies this year.

I mean, it was one of the best things about EQ was the local factionalization; it made the world seem much more real and large. In this part of the world they didn't give a damn about what happened anywhere else, but only cared about their local/regional struggle.

So happy for the people in this thread who are playing!!! secret inside voice:

I preordered, with the above lack, absence, empty space where an invite would be still remains. Not that I care or anything. Better to wait and see it at launch or open beta, for sure! Be-et-tah!!!

Don't play it like a cover shooter, necessarily. I mean , there are times for that but in a lot of cases, and Skill Up makes this point really well, in a way I hadn't thought about: The cover is there for your enemies. It's a difficult shift to make in playstyle. The Techomancer can use cover...

Nada. Nothing. Zero. Bupkis. Naught. Nein. Niente. Edit: Checks again... Still Zilch, nix, rien, scratch, nil, null, sweet Fanny Adams, empty palms and itchy fingers, no email.

I went back and played my Devastator up to all blue gear, almost World Tier 5, repeatedly running "A Bad Day" and getting multiple blue/rare drops per run, and could do it in like 5-7 min a run. I know what the meta runs are for getting Legendary loot are, and will do a few once I get up to WT6...

Maybe with different skill unlocks you will have some variety but right now for the most part it seems there isn't a whole lot of variety to how each class will play based upon how they heal: They can all use all weapons and take different trees but if they only/main way you get health back is...

This is literally the start of quest before the cutscene is over. More senseless brutality from a game that seems to specialize in it. I did a second playthrough of the demo as a Technowhatever, I did it in like an hour, I only died a couple of times outside of one quest where I died repeated...

"Seasons" and "Season Pass" yes, Microtransactions, no. Hopefully they will just be doing more regular, smaller expansions as their "seasons" to avoid the term? I know they have been big on saying no to Microtransactions; perhaps avoiding the GaaS tag is part of that push as well? So I...

They are all repetitive eventually: All that matters is the wrapper and the accoutrement. This one makes some changes to the gameplay formula but it is just not appealing to look at for me. May be worth getting past that, though.

Played some more of it solo, up to World Level 4 and Character level 6. As stated above, the powers and items get way better, and Blues really seem to add to your character/playstyle. I was thinking the item inventory was like the weapon inventory but you have to click on the slot to see what...

I get home from a Dr appt, eager to load up the demo and XBOX Live has decided to stop working, so we switched over and played on PS5. My verdict after playing through the prologue and the first mission in Rift town? I don't know what I expected but the whole game has a kind of ugly/mean...

I need to watch S3 but from what I remember, one of the most memorable characters for me in TV history, all over the line, still pulling for him in the end. This show had ratcheted the tension up to 11 the last time I watched it, IIRC it was almost unbearable how thick the plotting was, like...

"He's the Jason Bourne of Fence Jumping!!!"

They might not be wrong. The gameplay itself is not bad. The Colossus was one my favorite "Classes" in the Looter-Shooter era. Once you got somewhere, the actual combat was fun. But still, who the fuck thought it would be fun to fly and land and fly and land and fly and land and fly and...

After I found out how much amazing tail there was that floated around the PGA, I knew I chose the wrong sport. Fake Edit: I didn't get the joke until I started writing the post. Shame! SHAME on you, sir. :)

Disney Exec: Hey, let's put out a new movie! Money guys: New IPs are hit and miss, expensive, and have a low ROI Disney Exec: Let's convert YA Novels into Movies. Money guys: Been done already. Disney Exec: Well, what about twist endings, what about that guy? Let's get him. Creative guys...

Boil water notices have been lifted, and we have our outside pipes all repaired, finally. I think I must have called every plumber on the West Side of the city but finally got a couple that did the trick. Had one show up with no parts, so I ran him off. Then another showed up with just his...

Just FYI, I live on a cul de sac, my neighbor knows I am taking water out of his pool; in fact, he offered it. Who would have thunk, after all of the Not-Government-Spending-but-"investment" and "Shovel ready jobs" and "You didn't build that" with more federal spending and the largest federal...
