Borderlands 2 - free with new video card. Had fun with this but overall I felt it was wanting in some important areas, in particular I think they may have shot themselves in the foot with the overly complicated stat systems and limited inventory and ammo space. Spending as much time trying to...

Depends if you are playing ironman or not - if you just reload to keep all your guys around, the shiv is worthless except as ethereal bait, but on ironman, there's often times when you'll have all your useful guys dead or in the hospital, and have to send in the rookies - upgraded SHIV is a hell...

That doesn't really make any sense, for two main reasons : 1) For most of the timeframe of the hobbit and the LoTR, Sauron was hiding from them, not them hiding from him. 2) At no point during this time did he actually *have* the one ring. Galadriel certainly knew this, at least from the...

Yeah, totally unrelated, and the crazy turned up to 11.

Hey, mind control is the best reason to bring a SHIV ;p Also, line up snipers and then blow the wall open with rockets instead of taking the door is often effective. Having your stun-gunner standing near the likely MC targets can also save you some mighty expensive friendly fire*. * Does...

I don't know, I found the twelve kingdoms fascinating to start with, but I kind of stalled out around in the mid 30s, the ex-princess and the escaped scullery maid are such unpleasant people that I had difficulty maintaining interest. I'll probably finish it off sometime though. The RC...

"Madame sent me to see if you needed any grenades." "Grenades ?" "She might have said 'help'" Heh, well in any case, the hotness bar for the companion has been raised unrealistically high for future series ;p

I felt it peaked at the christmas episode. Unfortunately it kept going downhill for a long time after that. I like it overall, but can't help but wish it had lived up to the potential of that episode. Or at the very least gone as a 1 cour and finished with the first arc.

Psycho-Pass wan't surprising, I'd predicted that coming a while back, but it's nice to see the story developing. Tempest on the other hand - I did *not* see that one coming heh ;p

In fairness that will probably only happen with the Jester - their character portrait should be the trollface. IMO the game has it's problems, but if you haven't played it, I'd be amazed if you didn't get $6.50 value out of it - there's a metric shitton of content, much of which is quite...

I think you mean Stephen Moffat there - Russel Davies retired with Tenant. I think most people would agree that he's a much better writer than he is a showrunner.

My take : Furies starts good, and ends fantastic.

For this season ? Just from my perspective : Zetsuen no Tempest - I'm probably enjoying this one the most. Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, Shinsekai Yori, Chuunibyou, Jormungand, Sword Art - I am enjoying these. Robotics;Notes, Psycho-Pass, K - still watching but hesitant to recommend...

Hoid shows up in all of them is the main evidence I think.

It's heaps worse - assuming Hannah breaks into Deb's house, fills up a few water bottles with crushed xanax and her master plan is that Deb will pick up one of those bottles, and instead of drinking from it, take it with her to go driving, and then decide to drink it while driving, and then not...

Well, it ended much the same way that someone logging into EQ to kill Brad McQuaid would, minus ghostly intervention. Random thought - given there appears to be only one pain slider for the entire game ( neither of them specify a target for the pain slider, and it starts at 80 instead of 100...

Yeah, as mentioned previously, pretty much anything David Weber has done - also add to the list Evan Curries books, erm, Valkyrie Rising is the first one I think, either that or 'On Silver Wings'. There's a fair amount of it in Vatta's War series by Elizabeth Moon.

To be honest, I'm not seeing a huge downside for the power - what are the odds that they can't find someone in the resistance that is willing to trade emotions for mind reading, bullet dodging, teleportation and the ability to see and manipulate the future. Especially when it's demonstrated that...

It also has the reigning champ of not giving a fuck - 'She's wrong ! Her plan will destroy the world !' '... what's your point ?'

I use goodreads for 'to-get' list management, but their suggestions functionality is pretty terrible IMO, I've had much more success with Amazon recommendations. ( Part of the problem is that goodreads has a very extensive, but very shallow selection of reviews, so small numbers of people can...
