Amos continues to be one of the best damn characters in entertainment and damn if Wes Chatham isn't rocking the part. I think its the eyes more than anything else. Yeah he's jacked and then some and has the demeanor to convey subtle menace and a complete lack of moral compasss, but its the way...

Yeah the turbolift made no fucking sense at all. We had seen bits and pieces of this 'internal structure' before but this made it clear that it was full stupid.

I was hoping that this would all lead towards a resolution that acknowledged the marcantile needs of the Galaxy and that having an economy is actually useful. Getting the Orions and Andorians plus however many planets are in the chain to be part of something new despite the issues of the past...

Did the 18 floor thing this AM and man was that a slog. I was just happy it was over and then annoyed at the paltry reward it offered.

I would love Ayoade as the Doctor. Not only because of his obvious comedic talents but because he has the ability to turn darkly serious when he wants to and that makes it all the more chilling.

At this point I'm just running Torghast 3s solo and not bothering with anything else unless I don't have anything else to play. Life is too short to bother stressing out over Soul Ash given I have nothing I can use it for and won't for the forseeable future.

I posted about this on the Steam thread but I've been crazy addicted to this damn game for the last several days. Its like Slay the Spire only you are playing 3 (of 8 possible choices) different characters in a much longer-format adventure. There is a shorter single-sitting type version that...

I did enjoy the Daleks blowing up the nuDaleks though.

. Picked this up based on the Steam recommendations and it's really good if you are a fan of either tactics games or card-based Roguelikes. It's different in that you have a long 'campaign' you play through with multiple characters rather than a relatively short 'run' but there's substantial...

How the heck are you getting that many enchanting missions?? I've done every 'crafting mission's that's popped up and all I get is meat meat meat and the occasional tailoring. Ive gotten enchanting like twice since launch.

Eternal crystals, before this, were still in the 3.5-6k range on my server. Lots of enchanters have been stuck trying to get skill ups past 90 since they need those crystals to get to the relic mat enchantments at 115, so the demand has persisted. I would have happily dropped 2500 anima to get...

The protomolecule completely upended the apple cart and fucked both Mars and the Belt...meanwhile critically overpopulated Earthers are ideally suited to expand to the ring worlds from a physical standpoint. However their completely socialist structure with fundamental lack of jobs means that...

Meanwhile this week the class armor hits Mythic-0 ilevel so I actually swapped out a bunch of pieces as the set bonus is kinda helpful.

WildStar is a textbook example of how really hard it is to make an MMO in the age of autists. The base gameplay was great and it had plenty of built in humor with the art style and general insanity of the premise but they went full-bore into making the endgame for the folk that would otherwise...

WTF is up with Timewalking? Did a dungeon since its the weekly quest and good lord it was a meat grinder with level 30 rewards. Shouldn't they be dropping at least Shadowlands Heroic level items?

Had a friend of mine go apeshit after getting his Series X because they removed the optical out audio port. I tried to reply with 'bro do you not have HDMI?' but he was having none of it and just cussed up a storm. I suppose in my own setup I have the Xbox going to the CEC HDMI port (port 1)...

Monster Train is quite fun. The only thing bad about it is the godawful name.

Pete Docter was already one of my favorite PIXAR directors (Monsters Inc, Up, and especially Inside Out) because of the way he uses the storytelling medium to address big philosophical/existential questions. Inside Out is a movie I've come back to several times just because of the way in which...

I figure Phillips got Guardian of Forever'd so she could go back and do the Section 31 show... I try to not think about things like Book's transforming ship or just how idiotic it is to have the warp nacelles disconnected from the ship. Once you head down that path all sense of rational...

It's a fun game for a couple weeks and then it turns into something tedious. This has not changed even with all the other adjustments taking place. Has a strong foundation but lacks in persistence. We are in a weird place where we have entire genres of games where nothing is permanent and...

Patty Jenkins directed the first movie though... she is clearly capable of making a good film. The overall plot device of this thing was just so weird as it tied into nothing else in the DCU and was not even consistent with itself (not to mention the world nearly ending in 1984 and no one...

Why the dubbed voice?!?! It completely threw me.

So the entire galactic civilization was ruined because some autistic kelpian mutant kid got scared?

So the weekly Torghast campaign stuff.... we find the Burnt Totem as a clue to Thrall and... that's it? Last week we did something similar and rescued Jaina but the story seemed to just stop for the moment?

such a dork

I get the impression that Hasbro is gonna sell WOTC or at least D&D... They've been breaking contracts and agreements all over the place and now the Dragonlance lawsuit has poofed with a statement from Weiss and Hickman to 'look for an announcement soon'. This makes me think that they agreed...

Mandalorian. Why is the nickname 'Mando'...shouldnt it be 'Manda' ?

Monster Train is a great game. Terrible TERRIBLE name, but a great game. (Seriously you have a game about a Snowpiercer like train in hell where the demons are the good guys and the angels are bad assholes and the best you came up with was 'Monster Train'???)

This all seems way overblown. Sure it is legitimately bad for PS4 and Xbone Vanilla edition but the game is perfectly fine on XSEX and PC and I suspect also PS5. People are acting like the game is unplayable for anyone and that's just the case.

They should have just thrown some $$ at Sebastian Stan

My favorite quest so far:

I think his own show IS the Mandalorian. They didn't announce any Boba Fett branded show in the big Disney+ thing last week plus the post-credit stinger says 'The Book of Boba Fett' coming Dec 2021. There is no way that they have a 3rd season of Mando premiering at the same time as a spin-off...

Not spin off.... Season 3 of the Mandalorian.

This is very odd. I encountered an NPC in t-pose today and that was the first obvious glitch I've seen on XSEX. I invested in a nice cyberdeck and now I can't help myself from nethack sniping fools from behind cover. Do it right and you stay in stealth the whole time, tis glorious.

I was going along with all of this and doing the Maw stuff / Torghast and what not.... Then I hit the 'can't even get into a M0 group' wall and now I'm wondering why I'm even bothering with the rest of it. Maw and Torghast only lead to soul ash and you can only have one artifact so why bother...

Oh yeah they dropped the first few episodes earlier this evening as a surprise ahead of the official announced release tomorrow.

Had to watch episode 1 before bed... Soooo good.

Torghast is a really fun playground that can quickly be turned into a frustrating experience... doesnt help that the rewards are kinda 'meh'

When they were doing actual maintenance on a given server blade this made more sense... how in the era of infinitely extensible cloud computing do they even have 'maintenance' ?
