    Brave Frontier

    I ran Vargas all day yesterday and got 5 lords. Then I realized their stats are so high it probably matters very little.

    Holy mother of fuck Hemwick is driving me insane. The cliffside/rooftop skirmishes with brutes have resulted in waaaaaaaaaay too many untimely demises. No idea if this is where I'm supposed to be after beating Gascoine anyway.

    Brave Frontier

    I'm doing this until I get an anima Vargas. It's like a metal Parade at 75% cost with 1 crystal replacing a probable combination of 5 ghosts and kings, with the added bonus of fodder and the possibility of capturing a 7*able unit.

    Sheeeeit, I didn't know Sony went the Xbox route in requiring PS+ for online play. I know PS+ is a good value and all, but pretty lame nevertheless. I guess I'll redeem the free 14 days, fulminate inwardly and resign myself to subbing after the two week period elapses.

    Bloodborne

    They've always had what I'm looking for. They WILL look at you in confusion, though. Like I said, they probably don't know about any new release. They'll go back and find it and sell it to you, though.

    Bloodborne

    They'll let you buy the game at 12:01, but since they're not a dedicated gaming store they're generally not aware of any midnight release, so you (or generally some doof in front of you who's been there for hours) will alert one of the workers to the release and they'll go to the back and find...

    Lol the writing in this game is so hilariously terrible. "I'll be nice and explain myself to you and your moronic self." Lugina - sage, poet, humanitarian

    Just got my first meta unit - fucking breaker Lilly Matah. Worth defense Imping?

    What did you just read?

    Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety: Eric Schlosser: 9780143125785: Amazon.com: Books It interweaves two narratives. The first -- and the less interesting --- recounts an accidental release of Titan II missile oxidizer into its silo and...

    Brave Frontier

    Did a summon today and got a breaker Fang. I have one hell of a green collection - Rosetta, Rag, Lucca, Fang. These were four of my last five summons. The problem? Rosetta is oracle, Lucca is breaker, Fang is breaker. Gonna have an army of 6k HP hard hitters.

    Well, shit. Guess I wasted a lot of imps. I'll keep the rest, though.

    Brave Frontier

    Are the stat imps relatively easy to acquire in number? I just reached Agni and I see that in the next area - Vriksha - they're all over the capture list. I'd love to be able to use all the ones I have on my stronger units (Rowgen, Luka, Lucca, Rosetta, Marudieth, Zergel). Used a lot, but I've...

    Brave Frontier

    Been one hell of a week in BF for me. Gone from ~85 to 121 so far, gotten Maxwell, Tridon, Elza, Darv, Matah friends (people seem to actually be accepting now with Luka lead) and summoned a Lucca (breaker).

    Heroes Charge (android)

    I buy the daily 120 gems package (f2p other than that) and it expires today. Should I renew today or tomorrow for the bonus? I forget what the 20 bonus soulstones are for each day and I wouldn't have any idea which is better even if I remembered.

    Can now field four 6* and 1 5* unit. My good units are: 6*, lvl 10 SBB: Rowgen (L), Tree (forget), Zergel (L) 6*, 100, no / incompletely leveled SBB: Marudieth (A), Michelle (L), Luka (A) 6*, unleveled: Ulkina 5*: Ultor, Rag, Uda, Luther, SGX 4*: Rosetta (oracle) Been experimenting...

    Heroes Charge (android)

    That's pretty much what happened. Wish there was a way to post replays. He was down to like 15% health without having killed anybody, then....BOOOOOOOM. Ultimate kills tank and whatever's behind it. Gause fills up almost instantaneously, kills the next two, and finally the Commando.

    Heroes Charge (android)

    Was trying to derank today for easier Crusades so I dropped all my units except for Machinist (power ~3300) and went up against somebody ranked 4000 intending to lose. His team's power was around 13k. My machinist killed them all. 400 xp for him

    Brave Frontier

    This double xp half cost Vortex is exactly what I needed. Even f2p I've gotten some solid units (Zergel, Luka, Marudieth, Ultor, Vael over the past few weeks) that I haven't even tried them because I made the mistake of 6*ing them and only having sufficient cost for 3 6* (Rowgen, Marudieth and...

    Monster Hunter Series

    Pretty sure it's 3DS exclusive. I didn't like MH3 but I love this - not sure why because I couldn't even tell you the difference in 'em. Only played MH3 for like 5 hours.

    Monster Hunter Series

    Starting out, should I focus on the guild quests or story quests?

    Heroes Charge (android)

    Game is kinda fun, but the p2w is particularly strong with this one. Having to pay ludicrous amounts for a VIP level necessary to refill energy more than four times is patently ridiculous. Anyway, definitely shot myself in the foot trying to acquire a lot of heroes instead of evolving the...

    It's almost certainly the Brintellix for me. I lowered it back down to 5mg and all symptoms subsided.

    Depression

    Anybody else been on Brintellix? I mentioned a few weeks ago that I'd started it up and that its efficacy has been found to be superior to a lot of other antidepressants. I'm still in the building up stage (it's like an SSRI in that respect) and the nausea is utterly unreal. I woke up a few...

    Hearthstone

    Been playing this somewhat casually (maybe 3 hrs/wk) and been getting wrecked in Arena. Then it happened - BEHOLD! + Bomb Lobber + Frostwolf Warlord + Quartermaster + Frost Elemental x 2 + The Black Knight. Maybe it sucks, but I'm 6-0 and nobody has even come close to beating me. Feels...

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    I vote the Culture. Use of Weapons is one of the best books I've ever read. The first - by publication date - is Consider Phlebas, which is pretty good but not great. Get through that one and you're in for a feast.

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    Hah, yeah. Never got the appeal of Rina. Confers virtually zero benefit to the team (heals are pretty weak) so her sole perk is that she can do pitiful damage for a relatively long period. If I saw a Rina or Ramagos (at least one of which I saw more than 50% of the time) I'd fucking attack...

    Summoner's War - Sky Arena

    I wouldn't 6* any of those. I had like 8-10 6* before I quit and every time I 6*ed something I was more careful than the time before. It's just such a grind. I wouldn't bother 6*ing anything isn't (for your team) indispensable in either arena or Giants/Dragons. Monsters that can solo Faimon 1...

    Depression

    Started Brintellix today - exhausted all non-MAOH meds and refused to take those. The SSRI's worked but I would sometimes go four days without being able to sleep and I wouldn't be able to get it up if a Penthouse Pet sat on my dick. It's new and supposedly very powerful, but it's ridiculously...

    Nintendo 3DS News, Games, etc.

    Nope, I play it at home with a TV and PC available. Don't get me wrong - if they released good non-western rpg's on PC or console I'd be all over it, but they don't.

    Nintendo 3DS News, Games, etc.

    I seriously can't believe the quality of the 3ds library. I pretty much dropped PC and console altogether a few months ago. So far I've played mh3 (didn't care for it, but I'll try 4 based on comments in this thread), Zelda LttP remake, Shin Megami IV Fire Emblem, almost through Persona Q and...

    The Xenoblade Chronicles Appreciation/Anticipation thread! 3DS/Wi U - YES

    Would love to play this but I'll be fucked if I'm going to buy another handheld - I play my 3ds obsessively but I just got it this summer. I might just buy a Wii and get Xenoblade on that. It seems to be available at the local used bookstore all the time.

    Depression

    Well, I left work in a frantic rush to tell my parents how shitty things have gotten, and that was their immediate suggestion as well. They're in radiology and internal medicine, so this is well outside the bounds of their expertise, buut the suggestion seemed reasonable enough to me.

    Just found this thread - never visited this subforum before. Been dealing with this shit my entire life and it's gotten a lot worse lately. Psychologist told my mom when I was a kid that I would probably be a significant player in whatever field I pursued. In point of fact, I'm now 30 and...
