Wait, hang on, 'Planetary sterilization pattern number five' ?! Romulan space academy must be a pretty entertaining place.

I see MMO rules apply to anime MMO as well - exploit early, exploit often ;p

Just to be contrary, I'd suggest the argument that it's more plausible that androids can mind meld than Vulcans can, because Vulcans don't have wifi. This is, of course, completely ridiculous, but so is the original argument.

"Are you a dangerously unstable synthetic life form ? Do you want to wipe out all organic life ? Call us now on 800-NOT-A-TRAP and we'll engage in a bit of light genocide"

Ironically, I finished grinding up all the region rewards, went to make a cool deck and found I lacked any enthusiasm to make one.

I thought this was a good start to the season. It doesn't have much in common feel-wise with season 1, but that's ok - if it was a new show starting with that as the pilot I'd be really optimistic. I am disappointed, but unsurprised at the lack to T&A. With even Starz letting down the side...

Yeah, Pirate's output is some next-level insanity; bi-weekly chapter updates are sometimes larger than some entire books I have read, heh.

Year One/Of Blood and Bone - Nora Roberts I read these two in honor the Coronavirus ;p An accidental blood sacrifice in a place of power returns magic, both light and dark, to the world, along with a rapidly mutating and extremely virulent form of SARS. The majority of the world's population...

Yeah. I'll give them credit though - the scenery they've shown in the screenshots etc is very pretty too. The intro video was also top notch. The voice acting was excellent, the terrain system seemed fun - bashing the rogue off the box and over the edge of the walkway was hilarious. It...

I disagree - the morale effects of mana peal and essence grind on alts has pretty much eliminated all but the most hardcore in my guild from maintaining them. I have plenty of 120 alts - all of them undergeared, with no essences. Sure I could spend 3hours doing the cloak quest, then chain-run...

It's pretty good. Self aware, doesn't take itself too seriously, funny and amusing. Cheesing the absolute shit out of the epic quest had me lol'ing.

Heh. I find reviews like 'waaaaah, diversity!' and 'SJW rabble rabble liberal conspiracy' to be particularly unhelpful, because just because someone hates something for reasons you find stupid, doesn't mean that it's not terrible. I watched the first episode of this and it was ok, but I don't...

That's actually what this entire thing is about - apparently they had a fight with their publisher about it, then broke up and did their own version with no microtransactions. We'll see if they manage to stay away from the sweet, sweet lure of the cash shop after they release though ;p...

You know the aoe sim is right there on the page right ? It looks even worse. Suggesting corruption is balanced is straight up retarded when the top 3 individually do more than the bottom 25 combined, on both single target and aoe.

The fuck you say ?

The first book is pretty bad, but they do improve, although IMO never above a 3.5 or so. Still decent popcorn action stuff. Despite the urban fantasy setup, I think the narrative arc of these is much closer to a superhero origin story. They certainly make a lot more sense that way. From your...

I am not sure that being unable to drop $500 on it so you can crush newbs is a downside at all, let alone a serious one. Catchup mechanics is a reasonable concern, but there's nothing stopping them giving generous quest rewards from old sets that don't give shards. IIRC Eternal does something...

She was the worst of them though, I am not sure I've seen an actress actually portray wanting someone's dick that bad intentionally ;p

If you add the game to steam, it plays pretty much flawlessly on mobile via steamlink.

Yeah, show seems outright bad. I am not sure it even got a smile out of me over the two episodes, let alone a laugh.

Too late ! After playing a few games on vanilla, I added like 10 different factions. I think I spend more time working out loadouts for ships than I do fighting battles with them heh. The mods for this game are amazingly high quality. I like that a lot of the mod weapons are interesting...

I don't follow your reasoning there - why would you assume AI was efficient at all ? Current "AI" approaches are overwhelmingly inefficient brute force solutions - sure that may change as a prerequisite to strong AI existing but why would it be a requirement ? Cruelty is a human empathy thing...

That's a pretty silly complaint - the wormholes are a fast-transit system - that's like being baffled at the weird coincidence that you took the subway at random and just somehow ended up in an American city.

Given the writers, I watched it expecting something "clever", not really the right term, but an engaging twist. There wasn't any though, it was played pretty much dead straight with no surprises. It's pretty standard horror fare, it was ok*, but it was no Sherlock or Jekyll. *Except the ending...

Starsector is good fun - thanks for the recommendation. I am beyond terrible at it though, I had to reload the tutorial fights and I get total choice paralysis with picking ships and ship builds. Anyone got some newbie suggestions ? ;p

First ep of new season : meh.

Heh.

It wasn't in your face, but they did - all the cars in the show are electric and there's a few quick mentions of it.

This was good. A lot funnier than I expected. Hard R, language and violence. It's "SJW" insofar as Harley is trying to be taken seriously and get away from being seen as the Joker's girlfriend, but it's pretty much complete parody, witness the reactions to Dr Psycho calling wonderwoman a cunt...

Finished it up - overall I thought it was good, but not great. Maybe 7/10 overall. Cavill was awesome, the scenery was great ( particularly the castle they were defending, although they obviously didn't have permission to film inside it ;p ), fights were great, overall effects were good, nice...

Wheel of Time has an interesting take on that one, I'm interested to see what they do with Galad actor wise. From GoT the book, Stannis Baratheon is a more extreme example of how uncompromising lawfulness with the best intentions can end up as a monster, although show Stannis was more...

Taking a quick look, 33 goes from Holden arguing with Miller about whether they should release the log data straight to the asteroid - it's got a break marker ( lightning bolt ) in between the two, so seems intentional.

LOL those speeder pilots. "He just killed an officer for interrupting him... it may be some time."

Yeah, I quite liked the show but the main chick is super annoying the whole way through. It's sort of the point that she's an unlikeable trainwreck, so yeah I'd skip it.

Holden is super famous, but he's not famous for all good reasons - he started a war and he has gotten a shitload of people killed. Also, he's an Earther - for that confrontation it's like Tom Cruise showing up in gaza to negotiate between the israelis and palestinians and then being surprised...

It was fine... for a transformers movie. Gorgeous set pieces, good action, mostly decent acting, terrible humor and the plot makes NO FUCKING SENSE. "But whyyyyy ?!?" was my immediate reaction to most everything that happened. Like - how did the evil plan with the dagger even work ? Also...

In fairness, the actor doesn't have a lot to work with in the early seasons. In the book, Holden is pretty much a cardboard cutout in comparison to Miller. I'm almost 100% certain that Ty Franck wrote Holden for the book and that Abraham wrote the Miller side - he was several orders of...

He's bad, although he gets better in s4. Naomi though, well... I agree with previous sentiment - Amos and Murtry killed it this season. Murtry is just a great bad guy - he just seems so reasonable even when he's being outright evil - his bosses probably love him.
