Take the ex-wife approach, they can't take it if you already spent it ;p

I will definitely check it out, but I have all the endless games, and while I couldn't point to any particular faults, none of them have really grabbed me. They just seemed to be missing something. And it's true, civ4 is best civ, although I chalk that up to FFH2.

Ah but see, the super laser is actually a lie, and they don't have one - the entire crew was carefully picked so that when the aliens inevitably kill them it will give the government lots of photogenic minorities to rally up the weak-stomached liberals to get their declaration of war passed ;p

Autonoms are so awesome. Most T4 units don't work that well unsupported, but network controllers are the whole package. Their summons are decent by themselves ( low level autonoms ) but once their summons get level 3 networking and shield projection even the weakest becomes a strong unit by...

I don't think it's ever stated. We do know that Rand and the Andoran royals are white as fuck though, and that's distinctive enough to make the Cairheinin spymaster remark on the resemblance. The cover artist certainly assumed they were all white though, but he also assumed the Aiel were all...

Wait, what, aren't you the person that posted the leaderboard that shows the highest ranked non-rogue team took more than 20 minutes longer to clear freehold than the #1 place ?

Everything they needed to know about space, the writers learned from the revered historical documentary, Galaxy Quest. "Is there AIR here ? Can we BREATHE ?!!? YOU DON'T KNOW !!!"

Played through the tutorial before work. Good stuff. I felt bad for the bugs though - they give you an absolutely overwhelming force - if you fail the tutorial you should feel bad. Took entirely too long designing the appearance for my campaign character, out of time 8(.

Just finished up s2, fucking Hanna, she's the real villain ;p

I mean expecting you to have cutting edge while using no addons or weakauras is probably a bit much, but you can point to at least one person, worldwide, who has done that right ? It's easy, so surely someone's done it, if just for bragging rights yeah ?

Empress of Forever – Max Gladstone An unconventional tech billionaire, feeling the government closing in, goes on the run and embarks on a desperate plan to insert a trojan into large amounts of internet traffic that will create the largest botnet the world has ever seen, and the botnet nodes...

Then porn would get a lot more boring ? ;p I watched the first episode of this - it's pretty ehhh, but it works as something to have in background when gaming I guess. It might be me not paying attention, but the setup seems to make no sense ? The ship is presumably military, given the...

Looks boring, unambitious and flip-floppy enough to be legit.

Yeah, I liked the pilot. Wasn't amazing, but shows good potential.

Yeah I'd give a thumbs up to that series, fun entertainment in the 'overpowered tough guy beats up the world' genre. I was kind of amused by the first book in that the main character is played as a tough badass but he's actually the chick from twilight, right down to the hilariously...

I finally got around to finishing this series off. Most of the shows were blah, I'll admit I snickered some at the last episode though, in context of this thread.

The pop-star one and smithereens didn't really feel very black mirror to me. I liked the story of the popstars one even if it was meaningless positive fluff, which is probably deliberate irony. Smithereens but was good, but 'is facebook having total surveilance power bad?' as a theme is not only...

I'd keep her away from matches. You know, just in case ;p

My brain is slightly broken - of all the preposterous and unbelievable things that happened in this series, I found the *least* plausible thing to be that a single person further away than Jon heard a single word of that speech, and he doesn't speak Dothraki ! I can't help picturing The Life of...

Yeah, the main character is hopelessly unfocused, if his chamberlain wasn't superhumanly competent he'd be totally screwed ;p The dwarf thing is consistent though - they are a long way away and not that much time elapses during the series.

What's worse, they actually pan away in the direction the bolts came from after Rhaegal is shot, and there's no line of sight to anything except the island - which is over 2 miles away. Not to mention the direction the bolts came from - that was serious grassy knoll shit - the first one comes...

Well yeah, once they achieve it - maybe that guy was really excited, but dropping your pants for a quick raping when the enemy are like 6ft away and your own air support is firebombing the city you are in seems a little on the risky side.

*That* was how you wrap up a series. That was like a whole season's worth of sick burns in one episode, along with some surprisingly emotional moments. And that speech to Tom James' campaign manager - holy shit, ouch.

Wow, that was some set of cameos there. Lol at Wesley skyping in - '.. that fucking guy'

b]Holy Sister ( Book of the Ancestor 3 ) - Mark Lawrence[/b] This one was pretty good, and wraps up the series nicely. I appreciated having no idea where anything was going and it cleared up some questions I had from previous books*. I am not sure I share their optimism for uses of the mirror...

I dunno, I thought last season of Veep was kind of weak, but this one is completely on fire with non-stop hilarity.

Uninvolved in said arms deal. I am not sure where the moral confusion is coming from here either - it's like arranging to buy a bunch of missiles off Raytheon, showing up, shooting all their reps and then firing the missiles at Waltham MA, because fuck those guys, they are all partially...

That's not how the drinking game works - the challenge was that Brienne is a virgin - issuing the challenge to the whole table would be a recipe for quick death by alcohol poisoning ;p

As awesome a scene as the acquisition of the Unsullied was in the books - consider for a moment from someone else's point of view. Dany reneges on an arms deal by killing the dealers and then uses her stolen weapons to commit genocide on uninvolved civilians. "It's ok because they were bad...

Heh, that'd be a series of lucky shots - for fucking guided missiles. Star Wars called to ask Qyburn for tips because their ship to ship weapons don't have that kind of range or accuracy.

Literally everything. World quests work similarly, but are far less compelling with the loss of mount rewards from the caches, and the chance of legendary drops. Azerite sucks from start to finish, they took the grind from the artifact weapons and dropped all of the interesting parts. Where...

C'mon, it's gotta be the werewolf fight ;p

Ok, this one took me from very interested to buy. Looks like they have mixed in a lot of xcom ( the new one ) influences to the existing age of wonders and I love the bizarre insanity of the races*, with that power armor guy smashing through cars to hit things with his rocket hammer lol...

That's actually a common theme through the series - as far as I remember, every single prophecy completely fucks with whoever is trying to do anything about it - clearly the sensible response for that world to someone telling you they had a vision of the future is to tell them to shut the fuck up.

The intro is pretty good too, although I suppose that's half soundtrack. In a time when a lot of shows are skipping them to make more room for ads, it stands out with Game of Thrones and Black Sails as one of the best.

Titans, like ST:D, just reeks of the money spent on it; IMO there's not a chance that it is even faintly profitable. Doom Patrol is a bit more restrained, but it's very niche, I can't see it getting a wide audience. Overall I can't see how they thought there was any chance with the limited...

They ran out of book series content in season 2, so the tighter plotting to an overall arc is probably what you are missing there. I still *like* season 3 and 4 more overall though, the characters are just so fun.

Yeah, that fight got me out of nowhere, laughed my ass off.

"Bad news, your fish is a werewolf". Hahaha ;p

This is Blizzard - you are thinking a measured small adjustment in response to OP balance ? Hahaha ;p They will nerf prot warrior dps so hard that they have to give all healers misdirect to compensate, mages in completely different raids will gain aggro on the pull.
