    WarCraft (2016)

    Really ? I don't remember Sauron having any background or motivation in fellowship beyond being a dick.

    I didn't find anything, although there's a few random entertainments that pop up in the main room, try hitting the guy with the lantern with a fireball ;p

    Lol that church fight. That is some awesome shit right there. "That's a combination of rubbing alcohol, coffee machine descaler and some shite I found dripping out the back of the air-conditioner..." fucking lol.

    What did you just read?

    Time for another roundup I guess. The Three-Body Problem- Liu Cixin This was pretty different, apparently translated from Chinese. It's a fairly epic science fiction where first contact with an alien race is made by a unwilling worker at a Chinese experimental military site. I enjoyed it...

    Hmm, any Vive users should check out Waltz of the Wizard - it's essentially a tech demo, but it's free and it's a *very* good tech demo.

    The 100

    That was a good call, if nothing else the scene at the end was pretty damn good.

    Virtual Reality

    No issues here, Steam version. I've had a few times when apps stop launching on the headset, usually fixed by rebooting. I blame the bucket of background shit that Oculus runs. In answer to previous discussion - I don't think the Rift has a significant advantage for seated only stuff, it's...

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    Quicksilver's bit was fun, the last fight was entertaining if a bit too anime for my liking*. The rest of it? Boring. I actually considered walking out, which is a pretty rare occurrence. Also, psylocke's costume actually did look pretty fucking ridiculous. That's not a SJW thing, angel...

    Virtual Reality

    Ok, as an update - Project Cars is really good with rift, and I don't normally get much out of racing games. If you are a fan of racing games already I can see that being a pretty big draw. As for the vive - Cons : Setting it up is pretty damn painful - Rift was plug it in and point the...

    What on earth would make you think that ?

    Virtual Reality

    Overall I was sort of disappointed in the rift, but porn was actually one of the high points, though there were a lot of frustrations getting it going - there's no standards that I've seen, so there's a bunch of random players, some of which work with some stuff, some of which work with other...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's worse than that - 5 years to exactly where she was when you first met her, but with 100% less gratuitous nudity.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's almost all about things that didn't happen in the series - Willem Darry and Paxter Redwyne were both cut. It's also originally a dream sequence - people just don't talk like that normally, which isn't an issue for a fever dream, but seems odd for a literal vision.

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    In random good timing I just finished reading Renegade by Joel Shepard last week. That was very much in that line with that and I thought it was pretty good. Probably the biggest writer in that space is David Weber's Honor Harrington series, sometimes referred to as exploding spaceship porn...

    Supergirl

    There's no gravity, you can't generate thrust?! This is not exactly what you would call a show with a lot of thought put into it, but that was so wrong on so many levels it hurts my brain.

    The Magicians

    I liked the book enough to read the sequels, but I thought the show was much better.

    There was much lol in this episode. 'High King? That... makes a certain kind of sense'

    The 100

    Clark has spent like 75% of the series bleeding from the face or head. The black blood is something like nano bots, they had a bunch of tubes of it in the commander's briefcase, but didn't show if they are still there in present time. ( it was filled with cloth, couldn't tell what was in...

    Eh, it made even less sense in the show than in the book. Listening to crazy hallucination guy about how it's impossible to change the past immediately after conclusively proving that you can makes no sense at all.

    Tastes vary, but I would say no. A huge percentage of the second book is tea parties. No, seriously, literally tea parties.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    This movie was pretty awful. 6/10 for a comic book fan maybe. The best action was the flashback to man of steel. After that it's just a 2 hour long drag of emo moping, repeated slow motion dream sequences and ominous music until the climactic muppet fight. The ending was particularly...

    The implication there was that Axe got him to do an obvious illegal trade solely so they'd pick him up and try to turn him. Note he wasn't particularly upset or surprised to be have the police raid his house in the middle of the night.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    In pve ? Nothing. For draft pvp ? The cost of the draft ( $1 + 3 packs which you effectively keep ) For constructed pvp ? Cheapest one I have seen with any success is about $24. It has the general open market problem of supply and demand though - when someone has good success with a cheap...

    Maybe - the original commander presumably didn't before she started injected herself, and they did linger for a while on the suspiciously convenient briefcase, with all it's spare vials of nano-goop.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    A factor of 10 doesn't look to match up there - taking a look at TSM accounting, I've made 10,278/day for the last 30 days from garrison and shipyard, with once a week AH stocking of all the BOE crap that comes from missions plus garrison resource overflow adding another 14,339/day. I can't...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    From level 1 ? Prot. Queue times are super fast and dungeon XP is through the roof. From 90? Whatever is fun for you really. Kill speed doesn't make a lot of difference in the wod content.

    Better Call Saul

    Having actually seen a few switches like that, I'm going to suggest the most likely explanation is that it's connected to an ancient desktop PC running some custom software/spreadsheet that some guy who left a decade ago made. No-one has any idea how it works or how to reproduce it, and they are...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Depends which one. If it was pro player, dungeon crawler or collector I would be surprised if you got less than double the ks backer amount you paid for just the account. Raid leader and guild master I would wait a year or two, they will probably be similar then. Any of the lower tiers, it...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Ethereal Healer with gear is pretty epic too - 2/3 lifedrain, gear gives it a 5% chance to go into play from hand, deck or crypt whenever you gain life - it also heals you for 1 at the start of the game, so it can put itself into play on your opponents turn before they play anything ;p

    Lucifer

    You know, that actually sounds pretty fun; obi wan and anakin buddy cop movie probably would have been a lot better than the phantom menace. And if it was a good buddy cop movie, then yeah, it's unlikely people would have any more respect for the 'but it's not REAL star wars' whining.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    The slaughtergear cards are an extremely rare reward for spending gold on rolling chests. The reaver and replicator are total powerhouses, and the core of most of the best arena farming decks, which is why the crazy prices. Arena is probably more gold/hour than campaign, so good for farming I...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yes, it is. Finally 8) It is arguably more fun to play the pve part like that rather than dumping a few years worth of rare and legendary cards into a deck and then face rolling it.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Not really, the fixed race rewards are all in the first bit of the campaign. You can get a new character through it in an hour or so. Doing the full campaign with a new character gets you a pile of stuff though, there's heaps of az1 packs as rewards and you get double dungeon packs the first...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'd hold off some in any case - heirlooms were drastically less useful in WoD due to the low level requirement on the crafted gear.
