The PVP in DAoC did seem to get pretty personal - one of my friends was such an epic troll ganker that he managed to completely derail wars just by showing up - three quarters of the enemy forces would immediately forget what they were doing and chase after him. Stealth was probably a bit too...

Fucking mines, that shithole country is at least 50% mines by surface area, hah. You definitely need an explosives expert in any party - apart from the mines there are so many IEDs on loot.

I actually did some research on how they implemented it, and apparently in BG3 you don't even need crossbow expert, you can just inherently reload hand crossbows even if you are dual wielding ( and the game has hand crossbows in it, which always helps ), so you don't need variant human, and can...

This was pretty funny, which is rare these days. "Oh boo hoo, it's a metaphor, stop taking it so literally"

No, Foundation is more like a history book than a linear story - it jumps between different important things that were hundreds or thousands of years apart. The show is just trying to make that work while keeping the same characters, so you get increasingly implausible reasons why they are...

Depending on how they implement crossbow mastery and itemization you can do some pretty dumb shit with valor bards and range attacks. 5E clerics are pretty much tank-mages too, even without sketchy powergamer builds. They have some pretty sick cantrips, including aoe.

The genetic dynasty was corrupted in S1, they aren't perfect clones anymore - it's kind of a major plot point for his character in both seasons.

Eh, it might be good, but The Boys works mostly on the strength of Butcher and Homelander IMO - the odds of them getting that lucky with casting again are not great. Also no source material is a bit of a red flag.

Sort of - rather than being a gimped caster of general spells, they are a full caster of 'bard' spells. The bard spells are a cross section from different classes, mostly sound related, and exclude all the heavy hitters. Lore bards get to pick 2 spells from any class though, so there are some...

That still mostly works, especially on normal - I restarted on commando with the above team after soloing the first island with Blood. Though as Burns pointed out - it's not a sure thing, particularly because some maps are very cramped, with poor sightlines. Think house to house fighting type...

So, about halfway through this now I think. Thumbs up - it's JA2 but with modern graphics, solid voice acting and some improvements that don't change the flow of the game at all. The early game is a bit different - you can end up with a pretty competent and reasonably equipped starting team...

I cut all the irrelevant stuff that no-one has changed or is talking about changing. This bit though - that's not how ability checks work. 15 strength is a +2 modifer, and 17 is a +3. For it to be impossible for the halfling, it would need to be a strength check with DC23, which your...

Heh, I ain't saying they are world of warcraft fanfiction, but when the final big bad turns out to be the Activision legal team, no-one will be surprised 8) They are good fun though, well written and one of the few stories about a game where it actually feels like a game, and the numbers make...

Yeah, this was great fun. Many laughs from me.

Ima stop you right there and challenge you to come up with a single story element that relies on, say, a halfling player character only having 15 strength instead of 17. Or, to follow 5E more closely, a story element that is ruined by the PC having an 80% chance to pass a strength check vs...

"Let's free dive down to the ship !" "I can't swim" "That's fine, I'll go get the ship, bring it up to the surface and you can get on then" "Now seems a great time to learn on the job, you drowning seems like a fun diversion" Empire vs the Assassins was a surprisingly awesome fight on the...

This is pretty good fun. Steroid may be kinda shit, but he's comedy gold. Blood seems just as overpowered as he always was. I'm kind of torn on what to do for a custom merc, you kind of want the min-max, but the existing mercs are already better min-maxed that you can make.

Hard truth - that logjam is never getting cleared. Embrace the pain of looking at full price games you bought on release 9 years ago and haven't opened yet.

On the one hand, genshin includes every greedy money grubbing mechanic you can fit in a game, on the other hand, it's actually a pretty good game apart from that. There's an awful lot of gameplay that isn't thinly veiled illegal gambling, almost all of which is 100% accessible to the starter...

It's both. That's the joke.

The Vulcan science academy seems like a fun place: "I didn't want to just regurgitate the source material." "Why not ?"

Ok, file vending machine under 'so bad it's good'. That was, without a doubt, the dumbest boss fight ever animated, I am still snickering at how terrible it was.

Was this in response to something ? Or just a random rant out of nowhere ?

You reckon we can make it another 20 years before lobbyists manage to get another +100 years tacked onto author's lifetime copyright ? ;p

The dude from the video knows his audience: 'You are all badasses so you are going to play on tactician difficulty and then you will cry because you can't handle it and say it is a bad game like it is our fault'

As far as I am concerned, any random cash element is out. The main reason is that the argument that 'It's not gambling if the house always wins and the suckers can never cash out' is cynical bullshit that is believed by absolutely no-one and is laughably weak cover for otherwise illegal...

I watched vending machine out of horrified curiosity. It's... not bad actually. +1 bonus points for the 'fight' with EQ frogloks and how completely pointless it was. Rurounin Kenshin e1 did nothing for me. Blah blah my ancient sword skill is all powerful, lets have people stop midfight to gush...

As with anything - if a headline is posed as a question, the answer is no.

No, it's just terrible in general.

I thought this one was ok - not amazing, but it was very Indiana Jones all through for good and for bad. If it came out a few years after Temple of Doom, people wouldn't have batted an eye. It did showcase that the zombie apocalypse is coming, and it's not going to be walking monsters, it's...

If rape threats from a boss to their subordinates is presented as light-hearted teasing between friends, you may be watching an anime ;p Also - what was with the sunglasses ? That seems like the least plausible disguise since Clark Kent.

The heat tape isn't killing anyone directly, the shitty heat tape just doesn't make an airtight seal.

Hell, just look at his name, how many white men do you know named Singh ? It's totally irrelevant to the character in any case, for reasons that should be fucking obvious.

Yeah, pretty much. It doesn't even make any real sense with the way it's shown in the show

I'm very happy with how that turned out. Best adaptation of a book series since GoT season 1 I think. ( Not saying anything on relatively quality of book/show - just that show managed to capture all the good of the book, while adding compelling acting and a fantastic set design. ) Thumbs up...

That's pretty shit - “lack of sufficient evidence to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt as a result of additional information that came to light in the investigation.” is the most weasel version of 'we actually looked into the allegations and they were bullshit' that I have run across recently.

I mean, that's like the entire premise of the movie. Your complaints are kind of like watching Dracula and then complaining about how it sucks because vampires aren't real. Any time travel at all is a causality violation. This one was interesting mostly for a different take on that and how it...

Waybound was a bit of a disappointment for me - there was nothing wrong with it, but it was very workmanlike, kind of felt a bit like filling out a checklist of things to resolve before ending the series, not much of any surprise there. The timelines for the Abidan don't really make any sense...

It's a tricky question - it was a true masterpiece of film-making, but at the same time it wasn't a very good movie. It is like when you can appreciate the amount of work and artistry that's gone into a meal, but still not like the taste.

Speech synthesis has come a loong way in the last few years, seems like an easy win, especially given the in-game speaker is a robot anyway.
