For some reason I conflate the "jobs" of Tolan and Ossoi, I think. I think they are both "life coaches" which can make absurd money because it's a hilarious scam, so $120,000 is totally believable as an active con-job. I'm not interested enough to do the research, but it strikes me as...

My guess for next Tolan "ban" date (Ban means you aren't let back in. This was a suspension) is never. He's logically inconsistent and fails to see the forest for the trees, but he isn't a weirdo-spoiler poster or doing anything else actually destructive to the forum. Him taking forever to...

Eh, half her charges were definitely shit she saw/experienced herself. Bran probably dropped a knowledge bomb, but LF was actively trying to get Sansa to take out Arya, in a super obvious manner. Also wait what.. I thought there was 8 in the last season. Shenanigans! -edit Just saw the 6...

LF has been legit transparent with his nonsense for at least this season, and most of last. Sansa outright said that she's slow at picking things up, but she eventually gets there. Arya killing him was a bit of a question, but him getting rolled over by "Darth Sansa" was never a question...

Yeah, if you have the Jecht shot(s) and just abuse Brother running up the middle to pass to Tidus nearby, -every- game is a hilarious blowout. It also makes the games last forever since most of the time is spent with "goal" screens and the timer stopped. The best method of wasting time and...

Cersei is not impressed with GoT related porn.

Really, I think the contract situation is going to become untenable in the next couple of years, and GS will end up declining. This year looks to be GS repeat mode unless there's a major injury (though, they -did- do without Durant for like, a good chunk of the season) or some crazy rookie...

No wonder he came in looking like pre-USADA Belfort... because he's doping like pre-USADA Belfort.

It's honestly not a bad game, it just isn't what it was promoted as. If you like gathering somewhat limited materials, and progressing based upon said gathering, where progression is largely being able to gather more unique materials? Yeah, you'll have fun. But if you are expecting a...

The plot in 7 is solid minus a few points; it definitely lays out reasons why Cloud wants to end Sephiroth, and why Sephiroth is the main big bad, and why Tifa is so clingy. 8, 13, and to a slightly lesser extent 15, all sort of just throw the last boss and reasoning at you in the last tiny ass...

This has been covered a couple of times, but I'll help out~ The modern japanese male aesthetic is that of a well dressed effeminate man. Skinny body, well coiffed hair, no facial hair... this is the japanese ideal aesthetic in recent years. Not "wuss" but not the more rugged badass that we...

I don't know what airport you're talking about; the leveling system in FF13 was flawed but at least it either added to power or at least gave similar options as you progressed. Once you had drawn all the spells that monsters in an area were using (you know, super awesome active combat of...

Nah, the level mechanic directly related to the retarded junction/draw systems. Actively leveling and not spending all your time drawing actually made your characters weaker, since the only noticeable increases came directly from junctioning spells and enemies got stronger based upon level...

The music was good but good god the story was terrible, and Squall was easily the worst main character out of all the games. Even Lightning was more sympathetic. Lets not forget the shitty level mechanic either, hah. There's a lot to hate about FF8. It's polarizing in that some people put it...

Phoenix cave, FFVI. Lots of dead ends, cool monsters, lava and shit everywhere... very fun stuff. Tower of Babil from FFIV also comes to mind as a stellar dungeon. Any of the Tetsujin (possibly misspelled!) ruins from the 7th Saga. Really liked the mechanical/natural look to them. Really...

I had never flown until a few months back, and I was pretty anxious about it. General fear of super high heights, falling to my death, etc etc. Ended up on a tiny ass plane from SoCal to San Fran, seated like 60 people or something. Was during winter so a shitload of gnarly wind coming up the...

Well, I'd stick around to get Cleanse as well in the Terraced area, but yeah there's other ways to get all the other gear. Not much better and potentially worse in some cases, but definitely other ways.

Really, only a few people were calling Ossoi's advice shitty. I think his adherence to "body transformation" nonsense is retarded, but that's just a personal opinion more than anything else. It works because it is common sense, not because the person giving the advice has magical powers. That...

In the process of downloading FF12 Zodiac Age now; probably one of my favorites from a gameplay standpoint while one of the most head scratching stories out of the entire lineup. The reasoning behind that has been gone over at least a half-dozen times over the years, but it really culminates w/...

I'd be really interested to hearing/seeing his explanation for consistently keeping his hands open and in his opponent's face that doesn't involve intentionally eye-poking within the rules of the UFC. Especially after multiple warnings and penalties because of it.

They used stuff almost exclusively from the FFT:Advance series of games, which is Ivalice but it really isn't the same one as the original FFT. It is where all the anthropomorphic races come from and the "Judge" look etc. came from. Which isn't the FFT that most people think of when they...

I think Solaire being able to almost solo Gaping Dragon (thanks for reminding me of the name!) might be a bit random, as it really depends on if the dragon hits him dead on with the big face smash thing near the start or not. When it is stuck in the ground, Solaire just wails on it (at least...

After having somewhat recently done a DS3 run with a couple of coworkers.... yeah, you are shortchanging the shit out of yourself if you have -any- help. Story requirements sure, but I don't think there's anything like Solaire and the dragon in the sewers where your NPC can half-solo the boss.

Those Dark Aeons can royally fuck up your day if you are trying to unlock the regular Aeons and you missed some temple treasures haha. In the end, the Grid system is still easily abuse-able, international or no. It just seems cooler to have the more homogeneous layout.

For some reason I remember having issues finding S2 last year; this time around I found good quality rips of S2 and S3 with little effort. Still hilarious at points, but they've discovered a couple of gags that are kind of cringy (to be faaaaaair) though the dialogue is definitely still top...

Nah, not going to be SOTN. It's got three of the four characters from Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse for the NES; they're re-doing that story instead. SOTN was about Alucard returning to the Castle like 95 years early because it started showing life, and it turned out to be Richter Belmont...

Really, the lack of my man Victarion is probably the biggest problem with the portrayal of the Iron Islands. Euron isn't bad, and "Yasha" has been relatively spot on to ok. More Damphair would have been good, and including Victarion would have been tits. You have a guy with a cursed-ish arm...

I think the parakeet just died.

Man, that was great. Just watched the entire season! (lawl fucking 4 eps =|) I was definitely not expecting -that- of an adult tone from the trailer. No wonder though, Garth Ennis was one of the producers. Can't wait for more.

MSQ! And get your torrents in every zone as you level and progress through the MSQ. This makes literally any other activity in the game easier.

Depends on the vernacular used with the customers in front of you, I would imagine. If she speaks actual english instead of the pidgin that is ebonics, if that's why you go shopping then go for it. If you hear "acks" at any point, I would say it is probably worth changing lines. You never...

^ SJW whining at its finest. Some people have shitty opinions, it is true. But when a huge group has shitty, illogical opinions based entirely upon feels-data that doesn't match up with actual reality? People refer to them as SJWs. Like that broad up there. And you =/

Yeah, I experienced that with my first group. Literally 6 fresh 70s (both myself and the other healer as well) and both Tanks were just doing Trial runs. Immediate salt and rage when everyone didn't know every phase by heart, and they literally both said they were going afk for 5m...

Hah, the Toxic comes out hardcore if you did Steps of Faith (either version) leading up to the next expansion release. Holy shit talk about rage and salt. I think I had to do the first one 4x because each time I got into a group the tanks would get into a dick measuring contest regarding who...

I always gauge my line-standing antics to the relative speed of the line given the items people are carrying. I'm sure there's some innate formula I'm applying to each person, but if it takes 5 minutes to handle one dude with a bottle of wine and a pack of smokes, I'm changing lines...

Haw, that final MSQ battle is hilariously healer dependent. The amount of just random damage floating around is absurd for a normal trial; I can easily see people ditching that if it comes up on Trial Roulette almost instantly if it comes up. Bad healer? No chance. Healer who doesn't want to...

Saw the final show of the current Tool tour yesterday; it was pretty awesome overall. Clutch, Primus, and Tool were of course great and sounded dead on, but the Melvins and Fantomas (Mike Patton's deal) weren't all that good. Might have been an off day for them or something. But once Clutch...

You don't -really- need melded shit unless you are outright blocked from completing levequest items for crafting. You won't get double xp for every turn in, but between that and grand company dailies, it should be fairly easy to level them. You will probably run out of leves pretty quickly...

Crafting/Gathering are such different games from the normal stuff I can almost see why they didn't go for it. And yeah, it looks like they want you to drop scrips on level 60 gear, granted scrip farming is also a really good method of leveling. The Hand/Land classes have always been in a...

I can mostly concur about the mana management as WHM is what I am right now (stuck behind Raubahn's wall most of the weekend and working a shitload since =/ Only 66) and I basically use Assize as my mana regen in fights because I'm always using it on cooldown. I DPS constantly while still...
