    The Video Thread

    I knew a bunch of people including Yahtzee left The Escapist but I only just learned today that Yahtz has been doing a retooled version of Zero Punctuation Way to go YouTube for never, ever recommending me their shit. If anyone else liked his video game reviews and other wank here is where he is.

    28 Years Later

    I meant Sunshine is just space madness rather than being traveling through the warp without a psyker or the benefit of the astral beacon of the god emperor of mankind. Which is what Event Horizon is.

    28 Years Later

    It's the same affliction that Matt Damon suffered from in Interstellar - space madness. It's a common affliction in space. Sunshine is still pretty good up until the final action sequence.

    28 Years Later

    30 Days of Night is really solid, based on a comic and has a sequel with a fucking hilariously good open. "Hey, how come people don't ever do X OH SHIT SHE'S DOING IT"

    28 Years Later

    Flash Fact - 28 Days Later was inspired in part by Day of the Triffids sharing a very similar opening where our protagonist finds themselves in a hospital after a catastrophic event before wandering a ruined city. Instead of rage zombies it has mutant plant monsters and for the premise being...

    28 Years Later

    28 Days Later is great. 28 Weeks Later is real dumb yet watchable. I'm not sure there's much to do in this world that would be interesting given how many other works have explored zombies/infected.

    If you're doing it on your own you can take and then use your favorites to block all the maps connected to Cemetery and one map adjacent to it to skew the drops towards Cemetery and Tropical Island. With enough percent chance for a connected map to drop you'll never have to run something...

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    I've always had a real fondness for this picture. It's the folks at ILM creating the original Millennium Falcon and on the shelves behind them it looks like they called up Tamiya and ordered two of everything. Which happened to include a bunch of RC cars. The tanks, planes and boats I get...

    Tenet (2020)

    It's got some problems but it is worth a watch. It's well shot, well acted, some very expensive practical effects, all that jazz. This is also the movie that was going to bring the moviegoer back to the cinema after covid stuck giving it a little bit of bonus context.

    Rick and Morty

    This is where I'm at. Rick is fine but Morty randomly doesn't sound like Morty. The "good" episodes this season would be average episodes earlier in the life of the series and the 3-5 genuinely bad episodes (varying a little per person) are really fucking bad. I watch so little TV it's not a...

    The only advice I have is to make sure it doesn't make more sense to just buy the thing that has all the shit on it you want. I've gotten in to the weeds on things before and felt foolish at the end.

    Path of Exile

    With chaos resist a lot of the time you just sorta do the best you can. Different classes/builds have better/worse answers. You can run an Amethyst Flask for a little help but on softcore getting it to be a positive number is where a lot of us call uncle.

    Path of Exile

    You're not going to hurt yourself by making sure your character makes sense and has their resists sorta handled before bopping Kitava. If you start getting mangled in white maps there's always Purity of Elements.

    MTG thread

    It was sarcastic, of course. At the end of last year Hasbro fired a fuck load of people. Some of those people were involved in BG3. Imagine having people under your employ that helped a product you licensed be game of the year and booting them out the door. Like, holy shit.

    You can go delve some (the mine area) but you can't use maps until you beat the campaign.

    I was crit all immune the entire previous league with some tattoos and a Determination mod Watcher's Eye and I miss it. Extra proj coming in hot with big big crit multipliers is rough on the whole "trying not to die" thing.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I think Kingmaker has DLC that's just a procedural dungeon with the option to just do that divorced from the rest of the game or story. You just roll up some characters and head in to the grinder.

    Path of Exile

    The previous league with reintroduced Sanctum plus TotA was worse economically. Each of those mechanics put a bunch of raw currency in the system and not much else. These mapping strats dump a mountain of shit in to the game keeping prices on a lot of stuff down while creating opportunities for...

    I started this a few days ago and can see it's going to be a hard one to get through. I don't hate Ruth. She's young, she's got a chip on her shoulder, her dad is incredibly successful so she's probably always worried she's not authentically black and the sparks between her and Julia Roberts...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Being able to transfer around no-drop gear between your characters plus a little exp boost was alright but bonus rep Velious and bonus plat PoP are just so aggressively mediocre as perks. Slightly faster AA isn't horrible but we've all ground so many of those fucking points over the years.

    Isn't the Jungle Valley gimmick that the boss isn't up so all the altars won't have boss mods giving you a better chance at +rarity +quant?
