    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    be warned that I have met a Cable and a Black Widow who were bored out of their skulls because the characters were too badass. Everyone will probably wind up purchasing bank tabs and the occasional retcon if they keep playing, it looks like having different outfits may figure into the real end...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Just found some H.A.M.M.E.R. Ordinance, +82 damage, chance to knockback on hit. It dropped from the Mr. Sinister green daily from the half man half tank mobs.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I am really enjoying the open zone idea with the exception of when venom is up and I can smell smoke coming off my graphics card, it reminds me of another F2P Realm of the Mad God that I enjoyed for a while. The auto party is also great but they should change it so that you can turn off auto...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I think you get credit for area kills as long as you are doing damage locally, not dependant on if you tag a mob. I think you just need to hit anything at all to be included.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I played straight through with Hawkeye and no XP boost and ended up at Doom at level 23 the first time. I didn't lolligag or try to be a completionist I just picked a direction and killed everything I saw, if I wasn't effective I would just hang back and find an xp train in the overworld. Who...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    No, it's code for "we need to take the computers offline if this plot is going to work". The just kind of forgot about the sentient computer program "pup" stuck in DS9's computers didn't they? Not that it would have added anything to the story.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I am betting that the drop rate for those things gets a lot better the closer you get to level cap. I am also betting that the drop rate for that stuff is tooled to drop after weeks of play, not days. Who all is at least finished with Doom? I want people to run the single and team dailies...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Hit level 6 and Scarlet Witch became beastly. Level 1-5 sucked donkey balls compared to leveling The Thing. After I got combusting hex I started to rapidly gain xp.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Another cool feature they could add for storytelling is a dynamic story in which one of your personal team members gets kidnapped and locked out until rescue, with the captive gaining partial XP for the mission. This would probably be best placed after Doom, at which point everyone should have a...

    Expeditions Conquistador

    Agreed, this is a great example of the power of Kickstarter. It's not AAA but they didn't ask for millions either. All told it raised $77k in the kickstarter and they didn't hit a single stretch goal. Hopefully the next game they make will get the attention it deserves so they can afford to work...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Shadowrun is based heavily on the work of William Gibson, who wrote the short story that was destined to become the movie Johnny Mnemonic (you will either love or hate the movie). I just read the book Burning Chrome, which includes Johnny Mnemonic and many other amazing stories that defined the...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    This is not nearly long enough to get any powers that make the character fun. I thought Hawkeye was shit until I started getting my crowd control arrows (ice, taser, EXPLOSION!!!), similarly The Thing was lame until I got Rock Slide and suddenly the extra mobility made him a blast. Characters...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Wheaton is one of those guys that can pull off being insufferable because he can make it an asset. I love his Tabletop series on Geek and Sundry and it's great when he gets way ahead of himself and starts acting smug just before getting knocked out of the game. I forgot which episode it was but...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I named my cat Lexx because as a kitten he destroyed my couch. I just realized that DS9 had story intermissions the way many anime do and I can only imagine how they came about "Shit, the script isn't ready what are we going to do?" "let's keep working on that script and do a mirror...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Yeah better not encourage anyone by making them think you care, the last time someone paid attention to what a Star Trek fan thinks we wound up with "Nemesis" (I seem to recal it was a fan written script). I did just get more respect for the movie however "Nemesis was to have been the first Star...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I made it through Taskmaster and Magneto daily solo but MR. Sinister just wrecks me without taking any rollover damage for the next attempt. I was only a lvl24 Hawkeye (the aquaman of the marvel universe if ever there was one). I was running Doom until I hit 26 and I think I am going to just...

    Expeditions Conquistador

    I let my healer go off to seek fame and fortune for a week (which I knew I would be punished for) and was relatively clueless as to how the camping and combat worked. I fully expect not lose control of the situation for at least 20 more minutes on my next attempt, or at least until I have to...

    Michael can only be held up as a likeable character when surrounded by his family who make him look normal and somewhat nobel. Take Michael out of that chaos and he's just my old district manager, and not the one I only kind of hate but the one I hate with such a vengeance that no jury made up...

    In my first game I lost a party member to disease, eventually got ambushed and lost my first random battle, lost a member to an infected wound and another to illness, won the second ambush just prior to a mutiny which left me with 2 party members one of which died shortly thereafter from a...

    I really don't want to answer that, but his bromance with Chancellor Martok the one eyed giant is probably the best thing DS9 did for Worf's story. "Haha oh man...the TNG Ferengi. And those fucking whip weapons. The DS9 writers and Armin Shimerman's portrayal of Quark really saved the...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Great question. TNG actually started a trope known as "growing a beard" which defines the moment in which a show goes from being relatively bad to completely badass and it's all because Riker sprouted some badass facial pubes. Seriously, before that TNG was just rehashing old TOS stories that...

    I have been having fun playing Krieg Hellborn, he's like a melee version of Lilith in that tree with tons of fire damage and health return from DoT effects. I just hit lvl 27 so I still have a few levels until I max out the tree for the real fun.

    Maybe if the ice wasn't referring to actual ice but rather a clever allusion to a person named Ice who Lindsay spent quite a while chasing it might feel a little more significant? I might have preferred a teardrop and the tagline "this used to be easier" at the same time referring to one of her...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Please start drawing the parallels, I am as tired of this old song as I am of the parallels drawn between Firefly and Outlaw star. The similarities are tangential and superficial at best. Babylon 5 was a fantastic show in it's own right, they did an excellent job of setting up a huge story and...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    The Inner Light was spectacular and gave us the flute medley and was one of the rare episodes that got callbacks in later stories (TNG not having a continuous drama but being more episodic in nature rarely was self referential as events in each episode rarely influenced later stories) The...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    DS9 is the most satisfying series to re-watch, but TNG gets the most love and really it was the first good TV Trek, minus most of the first season when they were retreading TOS stories and figuring out the Ferengi are awful main villains. Without the holy trilogy of movies (II,III, IV) I...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    There has been a growing sentiment for DS9, I daresay it may be overtaking TNG in popularity. I am not sure that I can add much more than I have already said about the show other than the tension between Picard and Sisko in the first episode is golden and you will learn to cherish Jeffrey Combs...
