Excited to see it at PAX though. Its the sort of game that will likely be hard to get 'right' in terms of a balance between classic players and modern sensibilities.

The endgame goes all Pathfinder Kingmaker on ya and makes you do all sorts of things to unlock bonuses and whatnot. I wouldn't want to do this on a second character!

So now that the Romulan Star Empire is gone, does that mean the Federation can finally start using cloaking devices? It also begs the question as to what happened to the rest of the Romulan space. Yeah, losing the homeworld was a big blow but they had a sizeable chunk of territory in the beta...

The 'endgame' is some crazy shit... I had no idea there was this stuff with building buildings and such

I finished the main plotline and the most notable thing that occurs to me is that I never really made use of the Apocalyptic forms other when forced by plot. In fact I used it so infrequently that whenever I DID use it I was just button mashing while I used it to cheat death.

I will note that I have not seen any of these issues or bugs save the whole server offline business this past weekend. The biggest issue I ran into was zoning back into the previous zone and landing inside a piece of scenery but I just used fast travel to pop back out.

It is very clear that the plotline gets rushed, especially in Chapter 3. Chapter 1 starts out very narrowly focused and gradually builds to being part of a much larger story with a mystery box at the center. Chapter 2 marches right through what could have been an extended chunk of the game...

Doing much better now that I've sussed out that some stats don't seem to do what you might think they should and started looking at the skills page to see the actual effect of different tradeoffs. Most annoying thing is that there's no viable 1h option for mages that lets them use a Relic or...

I know that spot and you just have to leave the game and come back in. You end up redoing that zone traversal a second time but when you do it again she will talk to you. If it helps any I had this problem when I came towards her from the north rather than from the south (which I did the...

I've been playing offline and having fun with it. Its enjoyable to unlock new powers and fiddle with gear to get the most out of what abilities you have, especially when you experiment and find a combination you hadn't considered is a lot more fun. I do have to wonder what sort of hell they...

The fact that Dee Bradley Baker is able to make all the clones sound distinctly different is still amazing to me.

FUCK TAPESTRY!!! (LOL) Had a second game this time with 5 players and I made the colossal error of picking Historians. Historians are super cool in a 2 player game and can be really strong in even a 3 player game, but in a 5 player game they can be (and in my case were) total horseshit. I...

I've actually tried to play Grim Dawn a few times and I just can't stand it for some reason. I come back to it every few months and say "oh yeah! This looked cool, why did I not play this?" Then I install it, go into my level 10 dude that has been sitting there for ages already and run around...

I keep hoping that a sequel will be announced as a launch title for PS5...

I am unfamiliar with the source material, but watching it with someone who is gives an interesting flip on the usual dynamic where the roles are reversed. It's clear that this is a very PG13 adaptation of something that was clearly not PG13 in graphic novel form. It's amusing because they...

Watched this over the last few days and it was alright. Was hoping for something a bit heavier on the mysticism and less on the environmentalism but it was still a decent teen-gets-superpowers-and-it-wrecks-his-life sort of show. I get the impression they are leaving themselves a great many...

Title: Ragnarok Genre: Drama, Action & Adventure First aired: 2020-01-31 Creator: Adam Price Cast: Theresa Frostad Eggesbø, David Alexander Sjøholt, Jonas Strand Gravli, Herman Tømmeraas, Emma Bones Overview: A small Norwegian town experiencing warm winters and violent downpours...

I picked this up and played through the offline Beta. I had fun and was sad when I reached the end of the first act when the Beta stops. I started out with a mage but got a badass sword as my first yellow drop and switched up to a warrior as a result for many levels which helped keep the...

Some of the Mythic paths they've announced are crazy. Full on lichdom as a player character??!

It's both. He has a 'crew' populated entirely by hologram versions of himself in different roles. Note that the EMH didn't have an accent while the ENH did. Gets the guy a chance to portray lots of different characters in one show. Also shows how the anti-synthetic thing is a bit silly given...

So was there any different cinematic or plot conclusion from the end of the Mythic version of the raid?

We just played Tapestry last night for the first time. We had no notion of the aforementioned balance changes and the game was won by the Traders. Granted it was our first time playing so we were all going in blind in terms of what was possible. I really enjoyed the game. Seems like a...

They do show in the episode that there are public 'transporter arches' outside that have people continually beaming in/out as they walk through.

Lord Geebus save us from the cult of Agile

Who signed off on this? What on Earth were they thinking?

Got around to watching the second series of Short Treks now that I re-upped for Picard. Where the everliving fuck is my Pike Enterprise series? Seriously Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck are rocking these characters.

I just thought it was a Cubone(Pokemon) cosplayer.

Is this thing completely dead now? What a sad state of affairs it has been.

The second episode is out and I find myself really liking the Romulan house-staff husband and wife. I am guessing that all of this is going to tie back to the Romulans having been horribly victimized by the Borg at somepoint in their past. This would tie in nicely to that whole first season...

That was as near perfect as I could have reasonably expected. I also bawled my damn eyes out.

Did the offshore this to Angola or something? What the heck? I mean yeah 'Blizzard' is dead but we're talking about doing minimal technology updates to something incredibly old that should, by all rights, run within an iframe on a website.

She has to be 0th or -1st etc Doctor given the TARDIS interior, general state of Gallifreyan civilization, lack of sonic, etc. I'm betting that the 1st Doctor got his mind wiped and thus believes it was his first regeneration into the 2nd when in fact it may have been his Nth. It does gel...

Kes was just a big mistake of a character that was poorly used. It was one of, admittedly many, mis-steps that were made when Voyager was first greenlit.

You could tell they had to push the abort button on a lot of stuff they wanted to do. There are hints of things all over the place but they tried to summer too long and the fire just went out. Ultimately the show is just a weird little offshoot that has no relevance to anything other than...

I assumed given their hand-waving bit about building a new synthetic android from a single cell from Data that the first step might divide the original cell into two which then continue to replicate into distinct twins.

Wow. It has been a long LONG time since I've been surprised by a Doctor Who episode. I was expecting none of this and it's pretty damn awesome in a Cartmel MasterPlan sort of way. I loved the shit out of this!

The ninja assassins who beam in are Romulan, but clearly the Federation is in on it since the whole coverup business happened. Hell Picard himself might have been vanished had he not just given a high profile interview the previous evening.

The nature of Data was an overarching plotline for Next Generation which was then extended into both the 'augments' and hologram stories in subsequent shows. The whole issue with eugenics / genetic alteration is a huge historical demon for Starfleet owing to WW3 on Earth and the various...

I see just a black box with some video controls. Seems broken-ish
