I lol'ed at the end of that, poor guys are not prepared for that kind of outrageous bullshit.

"What if Killmonger was less of a dumbass?" - I thought this one was pretty good.

I loved the Belgariad when I was 10, I am not sure how well they would hold up to a re-read though. The landscape is a lot more competitive now than it was in 1982.

This last ep was kind of eh. The lack of consistency in the zombies bugged me a bit as well - what is it ? Are they mindless brain eating zombies or are they are a coordinated team teleporting in and using high tech items in an intelligent fashion ? This changes from scene to scene for no...

Well, given the most prominent example of not doing that is GoT season 8, he probably went the right way there ;p It's not like Sanderson's WoT books dragged on or anything either.

I realise this is probably rhetorical virtue signalling rather than a real question, but it's actually answered in the series. The one you are born with, even if you literally take over a completely different body of the opposite gender.

It's true, S8 was written to provide cheap setups for ScreenRant. "Actually it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience"

This pretty much - it wasn't the trailer or the show treatment that bridged the gap with other genre fans, it was the stories themselves. The white walkers are pretty much there as a backdrop to highlight how short-sighted their political bickering is. The same is, in no way, true of Wheel of...

I think you may have missed the ongoing joke that the three awkward virgins all think that the other two are amazing at picking up girls.

How did you actually kill anything at low levels ? I wouldn't have thought you had enough damage to solo anything ? At least I don't - I am probably doing something wrong, but once out of burning hands, spamming cantrips is slightly less effective than sternly worded letters.

Hmm, started up a hard Kingmaker game with a sorcerer main this time. Holy crap sorcs are worthless at low level, the first archer I ran across in the prologue won initiative then insta-killed me with a crit, good start 8) Also fun times having entire team standing around some dog or kobold...

No, not really. It's mostly Lost style, 'make it up as you go' nonsense, but with less charismatic actors and far less sympathetic characters.

I loved the satirical absurdist humor of SR3. Right from the opening scene where you take an embedded reporter along on a bank robbery wearing giant bobblehead masks of yourself. The trailer for SR5 was interesting, but not funny in any way, so I'll reserve judgement for now I think.

That ep was surprisingly good.

I was thinking of picking this up, but wow it is getting absolutely murdered in steam reviews.

This is my pick for the most CW show that is not on the CW. I like it though - it's not high art, but the premise and world building are pretty original, most of the characters are pretty easy on the eyes, and the effects are not bad.

Yes and no. Peggy isn't portrayed as any better than Cap, it's pretty much the same character arc. For most of the second one, T'Challa is presented as so much more awesome than original Starlord that it is actually kind of grating. The end suggests that he gets the galaxy destroyed by Ego...

Is that actually an equivalent period of 9.0 ? Surely you aren't comparing the lifetime of 9.0 patch kills to current 9.1 kills right ?

The penis armor stills were pretty lol'worthy true, although Cavill legitimately looked great even from the earliest shots IIRC.

Yes, the Aiel are the whitest of the whities in WoT, which is what makes Rand stand out in two rivers, who all have darker eyes, hair and skin. I think most of the legitimate confusion is from Darryl Sweet's cover art.

Maybe ? They might have assumed that people would think Starlord-Jesus would deal with it somehow instead of Ego and the original eating the galaxy. It doesn't seem very likely though on a logical basis - how would they even know anything had happened until Ego was spread across half the...

I have mixed feelings on the first one. Good art, animation and action, saturday-morning cartoon level cringe on the dialogue. The voice-acting was pretty mixed too, the only one I thought was putting a decent effort in was the Red Skull. Deliberately ramming an oncoming truck and then being...

I mean, that's the entire fucking point of the whole civ genre ? Or did you always play civ as USA and reeeeeeeeeee about sjw microaggressions whenever any other faction built one of 'your' monuments ?

Caught up to this - I can see why you'd be upset, but I am a little surprised you didn't see that coming, the author really has a pretty abyssmal track record in that area ;p

Given that the 300 were annihilated by vastly superior numbers that... actually fits pretty well ;p

Shrug, I thought the Goatron one was really funny.

If you can get past the trash tier graphics, I can strongly recommend Deity Empires, I got a lot of playtime and enjoyment out of that one. Great fodder for the relentless min-maxer, with even ordinary troops being able to level up in interesting ways and use equipment, along with various tiers...

Dark Heart Dagger Killing with this dagger form allows you to drain ten percent of your target’s highest stat and add it to your own permanently.

What the shit ? This business with Asmongold is a literal plot-line from Mythic Quest, Blizz getting ideas from shows that parody them now? ;p

I'm pretty sure it said he'd banged all of her bodies, which considering those include a giant lion-man and a mindflayer, suggests he's remarkably tolerant of diversity 8)

This one continues to be entertaining, although I am pretty sure he hasn't put a lot of thought into how the game mechanics work - biggest recent example being the 'prized' new equipment which is like the AD&D equivalent of boots of + 0.0003 agility. I also continue to be annoyed at how Naha...

Few more ones I checked out: Only Villains Do That | Royal Road This is pretty good - it's kind of the opposite of Overlord, in that the MC is, at best, a minor nuisance, with a seemingly impossible task. It's also funny that he's a selfish asshole, recruited as the Dark Lord, and by...

"Summer !!" "I can't deal with this, I have to kill myself and you do too" Lol.

There's a lot of stuff on PTR that flat out doesn't work at all at the moment, and the weekly PTR patches have trivial fluff. If it does go live in early July it's probably going to be a shitshow.

Good to know, the linked video ended with 'released on xbox one on...', PC release as well makes more sense.

That's quite an ambitious departure from the previous ones. Has good potential, but what is this xbone only release business ?

Everyone else in the town is a real person being mind-controlled by Wanda, why would the military guy think that the kids are an exception ?

Tried out Deeper Darker from recommendations here and I give a big thumbs up. Started a bit slow but once all the main characters ended up in the same place it picked up pace quickly into genuinely funny cascading chaos. Ubik's MarySue'ness is so strong that characters from Defiance of the Fall...

It's been a while since I last played, but my experience was that the faction mods were mostly very high quality, if somewhat erratically balanced. It made for some very interesting and unpredictable gameplay with all of them as Nex factions, which was good, but given so many of them add new...
