    Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

    I saw that last night. It was pretty good. As people say, the monster parts are good, the human parts not so much. They are establishing some interesting lore though. I hate the cliche story of I'll destroy the world to make it a better place though.

    I burned out of raid leading during Naxxramas in Wrath of the Lich King. I did some raiding in Mist of Panderia, but mostly haven't raided in any serious manner since then. I'm filthy casual now, it was either that or totally burn out of MMO. I'm older now, and simply don't have the patience...

    You can have 2 flowerpots in your apartment to do gardening compare to 8 in a garden. So you won't be getting that many shards each day. While not needed for shards, you also cannot crossbreed with flowerpots.

    I know this will sound a bit strange, but I did Palace of the Dead for the first time this weekend. :) Me and my friend were looking to do something together in game, and decide to level up a tank/healer combo. We were about to run a few dungeons when decided to check PotD since neither of us...

    Overwatch

    I think I played more 2-2-2 on the PTR than I played games in each of last 4-5 seasons. It has renewed my interest in the game, and made it fun again. It's not a magic change that fixes everything but for me it fixes the fundamental issues I had with the game in the last few seasons. So having...

    I never bothered with desynthesis, it was one the next thing on my list since I just maxed my crafters. Looks like I will be putting that on hold now. :) Now that my crafters are max, I'm lost. I have a lot of things to do, just no clue which few I want to start on and focus on. I'm sure I'll...

    The Boys

    Finished this last night. That was a fun ride. I thought it was a fairly well written with an excellent cast of characters, most of which were interesting, and all of which were well cast and played. Homelander stole the show for me, the actor's ability to switch between his nice public...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I watched this again this weekend. When I saw it in the theater the first time, I thought it was very good movie made great by being an epilogue of 22 movies over 10 years. I was wondering how good it would be on a rewatch, or multiple rewatch over the years. I thought the middle section would...

    KOTOR, at the end playing as a dark side character and you order the wookie to kill his friend the little twilek girl, he refused and then you force persuade him. When I saw the option to order him to kill I could not believe they would allow it, and then the force persuade option appeared and...

    Ah ok thanks, I was under the impression that they had subbed for the next 6 months or something. Make sense I guess.

    Twitch.tv

    I thought I saw Seagull or other say thanks for 6 months sub or something. Do they get billed monthly or is it just that he knows the person has just re-subbed for a 6th month? I'm a twitch noob. :)

    What happens to people who subscribed to his channel for a long period like a year? Do they get a refund? Is he transferring the subs to mixer? Or they just wasted money?

    I played the game on and off since ARR beta, and there has been only one instance of an encounter with a really toxic player that I remember. I had a few, let's say "impatient" player because they thought we weren't moving fast enough but they were not toxic and still had enjoyable experience...

    I have 9 retainers, so I don't have an issue with what combo to use. :) That said, I personally prefer adventuring ones to gatherers as I find it's easier to go gather something I need than it is to go out and kill a specific mob for a drop like skins for leather. That just a personal...

I generally try to vary my activities in the game as much as...

    Well took me about 2 hours but I managed to buy all the Master 7 books. Crafting just got hard after having it easy so far, expensive too. Mats aren't cheap. Going to wait tomorrow to see what I'm going to do. :)

    Mei being played in OWL is probably my favorite thing about the new changes. She's my favorite character in the game. I think she is full to watch too, lots of skillshot with her right click, and seeing a good wall to stop halt/hook combo, or to split someone from their team is great play. I've...

    Originally you also weren’t just 1 class till 30 and then become something else. There were requirements you needed 1 job to 30 and 1 other to 15, so to become a Warrior you needed Marauder to 30 and Gladiator to 15, so there was more work to getting your final job.

    RIP Rutger Hauer

    One of my favorite monologue of all time. I saw Blade Runner when I was 13 or so in the theater and loved it. That line at the end just sparked my imagination, hinting at so much more. R.I.P.

    Overwatch

    I went on the PTR to try Sigma a little, didn't really do it. Queues are horrible as a tank, upwards to 10 minutes. I'm not that patient. I did play in No Limits but that was horrible way to test a barrier tank with barriers everywhere. So I settled on QP and queuing as a healer, first queues...

    I just realized, we're already seeing a benefit of 2-2-2. They would never have introduced a 3rd barrier tank without 2-2-2.

    Overwatch

    He looks pretty fun. They said he's going to be a main tank. 1500 barrier, and an absorb ability that boost his personal shield, so it looks like he will be pretty tanky. Jeff mentioned he is a high skill tank. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a real game, no limit is no indication of...

    I think how you view the MSQ gating is highly dependent on what your goals are. If your priority is to get to the end game and current content as fast as possible, the MSQ gating is pretty awful I'll admit. On the other hand, if you're just playing the game and getting to the end game isn't...

    This weekend, I made 79 as a Red Mage, and just made it to the last zone. Still enjoying the story a lot. I like most dungeons so far too. On the crafting side of things, I went from 71 to 80 on Leatherworker, and got all white scrip pieces. I also went from 72 to 78 on the Blacksmith. Since...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I think they still can do him well, albeit a bit differently. Here's an outline of what they could do, not going into any sort of details cuz I'm not a writer. :) Do something similar to what Captain Marvel did with the Skrulls. Introduce him clearly as the villain which wouldn't be hard...

    I agree that OWL shouldn't have big changes like this in mid-season, but with viewership dropping like it did, I don't think they had a choice. I think for OWL, long term it will be a good thing. Teams will know exactly how to build their roster, not running into situation like NYXl benching 2...
