    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    I said it was tedious, not that it was hard. It not being a threat is a large part of what made it drag on so much. Btw, as far as I could see, pain reflect ignores both celestial shield and membrane. On other notes though, on party makeup: Blademaster - grossly overpowered. Cleave alone is...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Finished this one up just now. Pretty fun overall, but man the last area was tedious bullshit. Either giant pointless waves of trash with damage reflect, vindictive and riposte or 'LOL AMBUSH from all sides! AHAHA all your buffs are dispelled again !' every 4 steps. Sometimes both, just for fun...

    Flee the scene ? Not like the truck driver can ID him given the English guy was on top of him.

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Grimrock is all about the puzzles and secrets. They are much more reliant on the player rather than the characters too - spotting loose rocks to click instead of putting up a buff and seeing a giant flashing symbol to show you a secret.

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    I rechecked and realised I didn't account for the orc racial, oops. I redid a test with all human mercenaries using fixed 1000 damage weapons sword 1168(62) 1752(93) 1.5 axe 1168(62) 1518(81) 1.3 mace 1168(62) 1402(74) 1.2 dagger 1168(62) 1970(104) 1.69 spear 1168(62) 1752(93)...

    True Detective

    The guy he is bringing in isn't a suspect, he's the head of a biker gang, he just wants to beat the suspect's location out of him.

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    I did a bit of look, it's working as expected, it's just your assumption is incorrect - base crit is 100% extra damage, the amount listed on your char sheet is the bonus added to that default 100%. So for your example, the first one would be 256% damage and second 266% - I'd imagine the...

    Calibre will convert html to an epub - just save the first few chapters and convert them, see if you like it enough to convert more. I'd suggest it's well worth the effort ;p

    What did you just read?

    Yes. Blood Song is well written and entertaining, but doesn't break a lot of new ground. Way of Kings is epic.

    Superhero Novels

    I just finished the serialWorm, and I have to say, I was blown away by how good it was overall. I highly recommend. The start was ok, enough to get me interested a bit if not convinced, but it gets better, and then better, and then Leviathan shows up and shit gets real. It's long enough...

    Bitten

    It's from a series of books that include quite a lot of other supernatural elements, but Elena has very little contact with any of the rest of them - she's only the main character for the ones about the stonehaven werewolves, so could go either way.

    Amazon Prime original pilots round two

    I thought the after was ok, but most of the main characters seem to be terrible. Diabetes granny rockefeller - zzzz nathan petrelli - still wearing the same suit from heroes, seems to be the same annoying character too crying chick - sad, and annoying, probably no nudity budget jason...

    Castle

    That makes it worse - lead detective meets privately with murder suspect who is old buddy - suspect is cleared, shortly afterward detective receives super expensive gift from ex-suspect. NY cops are banned from receiving gifts from anyone for doing their job, for just that reason.

    Wouldn't this be horrible for mining unless the snow is transparent or veins stick up out of the surface ? We'll see I guess. I was hoping they'd do something about the pop-in on terrain and resources, it's my main irritation at the moment - you know, head toward a resource, start mining...

    Blackguards - Tactical RPG

    This was my main complaint. Mage is just fucking annoying and often useless unless you engage in cheese like surrounding one final enemy and passing 500 turns to regen mana before the next fight. Also you pick up new spells with enough mana to cast them once, and like a 50% chance of missing...

    It's a whorehouse - the stringy haired guy owns it, and the grey haired woman is the madam. As for the latter - what, Swearengen got told to go fuck himself and then walked off, saying he was horny was going to go fuck himself ? I think you got got that scene completely backwards - it was...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Yeah, that seems really weird that there is no way to 'flatten' a cube or drag out a line or anything. I'm guessing it must be tied to higher tier tools or I am missing something obvious, but even laying out a flat foundation is an exercise in frustration at the moment.

    Eh ? The merchant chick's best move is 'I'll tell on you to my dad', which was met with 'who the fuck cares'. The rest of the women are whores - where are these strong independent women doing what they want ? ;p

    Stone warden IMO. They are pretty easy to play, with a good blend of offense and defense and have the best defensive spell in the game ( stone wall ).

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Yeah, they are the psionic equivalent of a staff - they all give bonuses to mindpower and mind crit. Some classes have special uses for them as well, like Mindslayer increases range and cooldown on some skills based on how good their telekinetic mindstar is. Also, mindstars come in sets which...

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    There's that, but also in game you start with a quest that gives you the order of the t2 zones, and when you enter a zone there's a line of text in the combat log that gives you a rough idea of it's relatively level compared you - e.g. 'Your heart pounds furiously, you feel terrified', 'You feel...

    Fucking Atamathon. Killed me on max level berserker, summoner, corrupter, oozemancer, bulwark and alchemist now ;p Corrupter and summoner were so agonizingly close too, he had like 300hp left on corrupter.

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Your summons get more powerful with mind power, so mindstars are typically the best. You want ones that give +% physical damage, +mindpower, +mindcrit, will or cunning. The damage on the mindstar itself doesn't do anything unless you try to melee with it ( don't ).

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    Technically no, players on normal difficulty have 100% instant death immunity ( you can see it on the charsheet ), but with the way that speed works you can get what looks like a oneshot to you - for example my alchemist got killed in one turn by Elandar - he was buffed up fast enough to cast...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    $200k in 10 days ? It's dead Jim, discussing it is as relevant as discussing shadowbane at this point. Even if it blew the doors off funding, I'd have doubts that Brad's track record would get him any good development talent, and on a shoestring budget if they somehow squeak over the line ?

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    It's actually a curse to start with - most of the items you pick up will have a curse on them that gives you negative luck and bad effects. It's only when you start upping the second tree that the curses become weaker and actually give you abilities etc. At max level they are pretty damn...
