Countdown till whining about cultural appropriation?

My understanding is that he was initially gay and that she decided to not state it explicitly while writing, maybe because it was still technically a children's series, or her editor told her, or whatever. I hadn't looked at it from that angle beforehand, but when the drama came out and the...

QM is going to be interesting.

Simply removing something because people don't like it isn't enough to constitute censorship.

Level 1 balance was always silly though - back in the day before mods I used to level up to 3 or so by kiting Firebeard Elvenhair (the mage in the starting inn) around, using the zoneout cheese to make sure he didnt get any spells on me, and export-import once or twice. Made the game a lot more fun.

For those playing - is there a way to disable the new UI options (particularly those blocky health bars) and whatever they've done to make the characters look like claymation models with a black outline? I thought they did a good job upgrading the graphics with the EE's (especially IWD, which...

Right in the feelsI love me some Minsc. Funnily, he kinda ruins the game for me in a way - ever since I was a kid I've been meaning to play an evil party, but I can't bring myself to be an asshole to Minsc, so every time I pick him up and from then on I'm pretty restricted to good party...

Looks like a valla/tychus/liming mashup. The master skin is just dreadful, but damn do that spectre skin and the mount make up for it... if she turns out to be fun and balanced I'd be tempted to actually purchase the bundle for the first time.

Honestly, I've never played KOTOR - game is cursed or something, I've tried to play it multiple times but each time I get hit with a different set of gamebreaking bugs. Whats the deal with Revan? And yeah, given the nature of the FR setting, those kind of gender issues would manifest in a...

Personally it wasn't the decision maker for me - I was already on the fence because the original content they added to the BG EE's was universally buggy and low quality, so obviously I was going to be leery about a release that wasallnew content. But getting a look at whatever the hell it is...

Haha, I'm surprised they didn't make her unkillable, or add a huge reputation penalty. The irony is that the original game is probably the first RPG to have an actual tranny character via. the girdle of gender change - wasn't there even some dialogue if you used it on Edwin? Don't worry...

Maybe it's just my preference for squishy characters, but Illidan feels a bit over the top right now. He's just got too much self sustain and mobility, it's really fucking hard to get him locked down without coordinating multiple stuns. He almost feels like a melee LM - not in the snowballing...

Yeah I was bummed out to hear they gave it the SJW treatment, but not surprised. Found this quote in a review on steam: Jesus, talk about disrespect for the fans. And also a total misread of the original game - the NPC's barely had any personality to begin with, since they didn't get ongoing...

Irenicus is a fucking gangster - easily one of the best video game villains I've come across (see sig quote). Anyway definitely going to wait on reviews before I pick this up - I don't have any problem with the concept inherently, the opening cinematic for BG2 leaves plenty of room for...

Fuck Cinder Spires, he can indulge his talking cat fetish when he's finished Dresden Files.

There's a channel you can join where people make matches for it - pretty sure it's "/join ARAM". If that's not it then ask in general chat. Loving the new patch so far, everyone I know is really enjoying it as well. I only recently started playing HL, but bans are definitely a nice addition...

^Pretty much. Tthe tranny was definitely a bit of a mary sue/self insert type situation and her story got over the top and preachy with the whole hospital scene (as did Sun's story), but other than that I really enjoyed the show. A bit slow and character driven, but I liked that once I got used...

Spend a bit of time trying out Kael on the PTR and I'm tentatively optimistic about the revamp - only major issue I had was the way they attached his Barrier to the Mana Addict quest mechanic - means you're stuck going with Mana Addict at lvl 1 even more than he is currently (no cool...

Yeah 20 second IB at 20 is nice, at 20, but no better than having IB and Bolt, and without IB at 13 she's going to spend 10 - 20 either feeding the other team or hugging the healer and unable to move in from the backline to do any damage. Yeah the shield will help with her sustained...

Patch looks really interesting overall, but I'm pretty bummed out they're gonna rape Jaina like that - iceblock is absolutely essential to surviving against heroes like Nova/Zeratul/Butcher/LM/etc (basically anyone with burst and either range or the ability to close in quickly), now in it's...

I found the worst part to be the huge parts of the book which went into explaining the ghost stuff, the ghost battle scenes, all the exposition required to let people know what ghosts could and couldn't do, etc. It was just boring, especially since you knew Harry wasn't going to stay dead so it...

I haven't finished Swarm campaign yet, but doesn't he lose one somewhere? If you look at 0:20 - 0:22 you can see the model on the left regrow it, which I think happens during one of his ultis. Hope this means more SC heroes to come - Tosh would be awesome for starters, maybe as a psionic mage...

Well, that escalated quickly. Was surprised how much darker they made that whole aspect of the story (I'm pretty sure there was no murder and torture in the book, right? Just a comment or two about how Martin was abused by Plover). Honestly it felt a little crude and over the top, even for a...

Sense8 (TV Series 2015??" ) - IMDb Anyone else watched this? I got bored and DL'd it the other day with pretty low expectations (I didn't know that the guy behind Babylon 5 was involved at the time, and thought it would be another Wachowski trainwreck, but the influence from both is obvious...

Yeah from what I remember I pictured Penny as more of a skinny street punk type kid in my head. As for aging them - probably makes it easier to get a decent cast since they have a much wider age bracket to work with when they're playing 20-somethings instead of teenagers, it also gives them...

They also age the characters up substantially yeah?

Book spoilers - I'd also recommend not reading that wiki if you don't want some major spoilers from later in the show given away.

I dunno about preachy, I think it just hit the "oh shit we've actually got to find a way to end this", and instead of sitting down and working it out to put together an ending that made sense, they just threw together a bunch of stuff inspired by the creator's religious beliefs and some...

Can't remember, did Jane (?) Chatwin die in the book as well?

Come on - I love me some Stargate, but strip away nostalgia and I think BSG (especially before it went weird towards the end) was absolutely a better show by more or less any metric, as much as you can objectively rate things like that. BSG did something rare for a scifi series and actually...

Third that - the book was very average for me, but I'm loving the hell out of the show.

Who gives a fuck? They haven't made anything decent in nearly 2 decades.

Yeah that's awesome - glad to see they're putting some work into more interesting/imaginative skins.

I know it's a long shot, but I'd like another expansion. They really phoned it in with the content for ROS.

Twitter has a 140 character limit, you might find that more to your pace

Tbh I think Xul really needs some work - he's the only hero I've bought on release because the necro was my favourite D2 class, but he doesn't feel up to scratch right now (having both played him for a couple hours, then spent another hour or two playing other heroes against him). Maybe they...

Yes, I did watch the show. Nothing in that scene implies that Thawne takes on any of Wells' traits beyond the physical, or that some part of Wells' personality somehow lives on in Thawne. I know I'm turned off, I wasn't sure about anyone else, which is why I asked. It looks like I'm in a...

I wasn't, I was just saying "I wanna be the best! ...so I'm gonna murder dozens of people" is kind of lame as a sole motivating factor for a villain. Hell, it isn't even really a motivating factor, it's just psychopathy. How can you even have any character development at that point? It's boring...

Of course it's my opinion, I wrote it. I dunno. I could get past the cheesiness of it literally being Flash with reversed colors (and the terrible name), and even having the whole buildup of Well's character ruined by a flashback revealing that Wells has been dead all this time and it's actually...

Come on, it's hardly impossible to write about a hero with super-speed without getting bogged down into alternate timelines/dimensions. I understand why all that stuff exists in the comics - to try and bring some sense of coherency to the piles of different reboots/retcons that build up over...
