If you like the genre and the like the setting, you'll easily get 30 hours out of the base game. I've clocked 20ish hours and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface.

Wouldn't it be easier to just backpedal to the whole "WH Fantasy is a planet in the 40k universe" stance? I wouldn't call it "really good," but the Eisenhorn trilogy is a pretty solid 40k series (especially compared to most WH/game IP based books). A really nice change of pace from the GRIMDARK...

Wow, just read up on that Age of Sigmar shit, what a joke. I only follow the WH setting very casually (no interest in the miniatures, although I knew some people who played as a teenager, but I like to play the better video games and read some of the 40k books, but I'm trying to imagine how...

Yeah I don't follow MMA at all but I did really enjoy the episode he did with Miesha Tate (female MMA champ) a few weeks back. It helped that she's both really hot and has a cool personality, but they actually managed to talk about the MMA stuff in a way that's interesting even if you don't...

Pfft, that episode isn't even the worst hour of television in that season of TNG: The Outrageous Okona (episode - Memory Alpha - Wikia) The Dauphin (episode - Memory Alpha - Wikia) Don't get me wrong, TNG has some great shit as well, and it gets better as it goes, but for every The...

I think I'm more likely to be depressed by the terrible drop in quality from the first season, if it's anything like the second.

Haven't had as much time to play it as I'd like, but I've sunk 20ish hours into a VC and an Empire campaign and so far I've enjoyed the shit out of it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's into stategy games with RPG elements and/or Warhammer stuff.

Does anyone know of any good sources which cover the whole GMO debate from a fairly unbiased perspective (books, docos, whatever)? It's something I don't know a whole lot about, but it seems like I should make an effort to learn more, since I imagine it's only going to become a bigger issue as...

Wonder why they're pumping out so many Arthas skins, it looks badass, but he's not particularly popular or anything. Not sure about Spellbreaker Johanna - it looks kinda cool, but nothing like the actual spellbreaker unit, which would have made an awesome hero in it's own right. Demonic...

The faction balance in DAOC was actually pretty fucking astounding once they got settled into a decent groove, especially considering the fact that they didn't have mirrored classes (can you imagine an MMO today releasing with shit like bonedancers, bolt-range mezz, baseline stun, pac healers...

It's been a few years since I played, but from what I remember champ levels aren't a huge deal. They wanted to allow people to work to gain access to abilities from other classes, but after the mess of arti's/ML's they were afraid of creating another nightmare grind or a balance fuckfest, so...

I think DAOC stands as fairly definitive proof that you can have faction PVP and still have a great server culture/community. There was tons of cross faction interaction, inter-guild rivalries, famous players, etc. in that game. They also had a massive scene for PVP videos (usually set to cheesy...

The fuck is going on in this thread? Looking at their website makes me kinda sad -DAOC was easily my favorite MMO of all time, but I'm not holding my breath with this one. Putting aside the low quality of the media they're showing so farm DAOC was a product of it's time and the things that...

Slapping Cersei was shitty, but on the spectrum of evil shit that people have done in the show, it's way way the fuck down the list, and he felt bad about it afterwards. Cersei sure as fuck doesn't feel bad about any of the heinous crap she's pulled. Trying to kill Dany was also a bit of a...

Don't know the exact formula, but it depends on the level of the gem relative to the level of the rift - the closer the level of the gem is to the level the rift is set to, the lower the chance of an upgrade.

My biggest issue with normal rifts is the shitty XP. Honestly I think having two types of rifts feels kinda clunky, wish they'd find a way to merge it somehow. Been playing a bunch this season and having a good time with it again. It's not something I could dedicate myself to in a hardcore...

Number of people playing has skyrocketed since the last patch, looking atHeroes of the Storm (HotS): Home , the number of matches per map per week used to hover between 11k - 14k, now it's just below 29k. Guess there were a shitload of people just bored as fuck with preseason. Thoughts on...

Thought it was 2 seasons left? But yeah, whole episode was bullshit. Visually it was impressive, but I was just groaning the whole way through. Can't be fucked speculating why, but the quality of the show has really tanked.

He was fucking brilliant in Syriana, I was stoked when they tapped him for GOT but think they definitely wasted his potential.

194, at 6"2. Was 238 at the beginning of last year, dropped down to 185, then went through a weird junk food phase the last few months while detoxing and piled some back on. But at least I can see my cheekbones now and no longer get a slight double chin when I tuck my neck in. Cut the junk food...

Yes, that would be the insanity I was referring to. Well that and the radical feminist ideology the whole thing was couched in. So it's crazy from two angles, thus "giant pile of insanity."

Just found a link to this giant pile of insanity on another forum: April | 2016 | 4thWaveNow These people are seriously damaged, I feel rather bad for them.

VC units start "crumbling" and losing health if you get them surrounded.

Is anyone having issues with load times? I really enjoyed the game for the time I played it, but the load times before/after battles were easily 3 minutes +, some felt as long as 5 (I was getting up and stretching, so I didn't count). Now I'm at 111 minutes played, so I'm on the fence about...

I don't think he's done scheming, and I definitely don't think he went north just to apologize to Sansa, but his scheming in the show feels so much less effectual than his scheming in the books. This isn't "boo hoo it's different from the books," but it sucks that they've kinda declawed his...

Even if he is somehow a Targ, why would he give a fuck? Even if he somehow knows his parentage, what would he be hoping to gain by bringing a distant relative to the throne (especially since he'd have no way of proving his relation that we know of) that he couldn't already gain by hooking up...

Yeah those three were easily the top 3 players in "the game," and it was cool that they all have their own, I guess specializations (Tyrion is good at adapting to new circumstances and turning them to his advantage, Varys has his information network and works from behind the scenes...

Something I've been wondering a while which this episode brought back to mind - why exactly does Varys want the Targs back on the throne to begin with? We know they weren't exactly stellar examples of royalty, and of all the potential candidates they're most connected to the magic and mysticism...

Going off the website they don't have any Chaos specific magic, just sorcerer lord/hero units with access to the lores of fire/metal/deathhttp://whenc.totalwar.com/#/characte...main_chs_chaos Kind of disappointing, hopefully they'll expand on Chaos in the future and give each of the Gods...

Works for me, I hate micromanaging resources in these games, and my favorite strategy is "build one or two armies, stack them with OP/leveled units, then roam around smashing everything with them."

Yeah I have to admit the magic looks really cool - I was watching a stream where they were playing Empire with the metal wizard hero and some of the spells were just badass. Still a little unsure how the whole system with the Winds of Magic works works though - is it just a randomized mana bar...

How much are they charging for this in the US? I wanted to grab it on Steam but it's fucking $80USD for us (no idea why the price is listed in USD, but that's $110AUD). Are the overcharging in the states as well or are the Aussies just getting jipped on AAA game prices again? Nope, apparently...

Yeah I've been watching some of the streams and I'm really keen for this as well. I loved fantasy strategy games back in the day (Lords of Magic, Age of Wonders 2, etc) and this looks like it will hit the same mark, except with the unique Warhammer flavor as a bonus. If you're browsing Steam...

At least she doesn't have the kind of shitty mechanics that make people want to autoban her regardless of winrate ala. LM /Tracer - if they buff her she could be in a solid place. Right now she's almost a trollpick though, played a few games last night and steamrolled every time there was a...

Where are the details on the Arthas rework? Been wanting him to become viable again for a long time now. Don't really think the game needs any more sniper characters, tbh - they're having enough trouble trying to balance Nova. Anyway, pretty stoked about the new heroes, Medivh in particular...

Haven't read the whole argument and really don't care that much, but as a casual-ish fan of the franchise I gotta agree that having Snoke just be some random dude who comes out of nowhere because reasons would be stupid. Despite the awful name, having him be Plagueis would be cooler than any of...

Oh yeah for sure, from a PR/business point of view it was an idiotic thing to do.

On that note: GDC Vault - The Science Behind Shaping Player Behavior in Online Games Really interesting video about toxic behavior in games and how devs can shape the game to counter it. That said, while I think he was way over the top ripping into a donor like that (is it that hard to...

That's actually not bad compared to some of the shit I've had. Just played Zagara/Abathur/Rexxar/Tyrande/Kerrigan v. Tyrande/Leoric/Greymane/Sylvanas/TLV.

I don't remember passing comment on the Overwatch situation one way or the other.
