    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Probably the main thing that changed is you can now buy a month's gametime with gold - ~33k ish at the moment I think. It's pretty easy to get 33k gold in a month if you play a lot, so the $15 shouldn't be an issue. The biggest gameplay change is that mythic dungeons have a chance at up to 5...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    That would make more sense, but I saw nothing to back that up.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    If anyone seriously thinks Phantom Menace was better, I'd be very surprised. In my opinion it did everything better than a new hope, except for originality. If it had come out first, there would be no question it was better, but it was just too similar. Overall - very good, but falls short...

    The Expanse

    I was kind of expecting walking dead syndrome - i.e. a fantastic pilot that immediately drops to blah. I'm very glad to be proven massively wrong on that one - that was fantastic. No more episodes til jan sucks ;p

    The Expanse

    I am almost certain the two authors split up the view points and Daniel Abraham did Miller. He is utterly believable and kind of a horrible person but you still really empathise with him. Other guy will have done Holden, he has a lot less experience, so Holden is basically a good guy but...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Probably - making an entirely new set with different effects because 'we don't want raiders to want to do lfr' is pants on head retarded, as seen by the complete 180 on valor.

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

    Plat is 100 to the dollar pretty much - if you are selling the code directly you should be able to get pretty close to that. Last I checked, gax and ozawa AA run around 2k plat ($20) and portension $6-$10. At the moment mercs don't do anything so the only people buying them are collectors...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Might be me, but I found early gearing shadow to be the worst dps class to play - rotation boring, no aoe worth a shit and dps awful. Seem to be great at high gear though, maybe scaling, maybe I just suck ;p Leveling wasn't an issue though - there's that glyph? ( maybe talent ? ) that makes...

    Doctor Who

    I don't think they've deviated any from the original story of him having stolen the tardis to go joy riding.

    Hah yes. One look and - yep, it's Amos.

    Huh. That was good, like really good. Consider me surprised.

    The Leftovers

    Everything from the end of the previous episode was seriously unexpected. I assumed they'd go with the same level of cock-tease from season 1, but apparently not.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    LOL at the pocket horse for prot paladins. I concede style points there 8) Brewmaster seems to be completely reworked from what it is now. No guard, no stagger mastery, ox as a talent etc. 30% to reset keg smash on tiger palm is pretty crazy though - brewmaster is clearly an early pick for...

    How is that a red flag ?

    The Flash

    Joe is probably the best actor on the show IMO - he always seems really genuine, especially when he's finding things funny - made me think about how unconvincing most laughing is in tv series.

    The shityard is the worst content they have ever done in any expansion.

    Who would win?

    It doesn't need to walk up to him, it can just shapeshift into the floor and wait for him to walk on it ;p Although for more thematic appropriateness, it could just time travel back to before he was born and kill his mother, it's a flawless plan that could not possibly go wrong.

    Next week - see the flash face down his most threatening foe yet.... ... the power bill for leaving an extra dimensional portal running in his basement ;p

    The Flash

    I think you probably lose the right to argue self defense after spending several days tracking them down and then breaking and entering before confronting them. I mean, without superpowers it's "He attacked me last week, so I hunted him down, kicked in the door and shot him in the face, pure...

    The Leftovers

    The first episode was completely unlike the previous season, and as an added bonus had more tits than all of season 1 combined. The second episode was like a flashback to take it up to the first episode and was more of the captain's random crazy shit from season 1. If I hated season 1 I'd...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    I liked it, but thought it was not one of his best. Did not enjoy it as much as the stormlight ones. Probably on par with the latest reckoners IMO. I did get to feel a bit smug when I found I'd nailed the major plot twist several years before he actually wrote the book though.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    With Bobby K in charge, they are far more likely to drop mythic than to drop lfr - it's a fuckload more work to make 5% of the playerbase feel elite.

    I thought the objects were pretty cool, but the retardation of the main character is hard to deal with - the 'omg I might accidentally touch boobs' scene was almost physically painful.

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

    Undisclosed terms means you can't tell for certain, but given Hasbro's original demands included them handing over all the kickstarter money, it seems safe to assume that Hasbro lost their shirt on this one.

    Minority Report

    I doubt you will be disappointed - the pilot oozed excessive costs and wasn't all that good - I haven't seen any pilot more likely to get cancelled since Almost Human*. * Not cause it sucked, but because the cost for the pilot was obviously absurdly high for the number of viewers they...

    Yeah, third that one. There were a few decent ones though, Overlord, Gangsta and Classroom Crisis for example.

    What did you just read?

    "The March North" - Graydon Saunders This was an truly excellent book, very different from the normal run of stuff. The setting is sort of post apocalyptic but magic based rather than nuclear or the like - basically it's not all that hard for powerful sorcerers to make themselves immortal...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So hang on - what are you arguing here ? That they have less 5 man content with each expansion ? You know that's what the gif is saying right ? Or were you getting around to suggesting that the Draenor dungeons are actually the equivalent of blackrock depths and should count as at least 4...

    Mr. Robot

    I thought they made it pretty clear that fsociety had no idea what the consequences would be. Why have someone tell them they are being dumbasses when they can show it?

    Ignoring the people he interacts with, their jobs are just too incompatible for that to be in any way plausible.

    Dark Matter

    Lol, there's no accounting for taste ;p Z-Nation was so very trashy. I enjoyed it, but having it renewed over dark matter, 12 monkeys or killjoys would be like renewing true blood instead of game of thrones.

    Summer 2015 Anime Thread

    Meh, most of the episode was good anyway - was thinking it was implausible that they'd have them wandering obliviously about the place, cutting to the ongoing bloodbath with the special forces escort was pretty funny.
