    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    I've been reading some conspiracy crap that the concussion was fake/planned so that Baker could slide in with minimal fuss. Sounds ridiculous. What problem does that even alleviate? Either way, as an OU alum....fuckin' A, Bake.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Follow up thought - if CDPR releases a modern Vampire Masquerade/Bloodlines game after CP 2077, I can die happy.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I hate first person as well, but the game looks amazing regardless.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I've never been more excited for a game in my entire life. I watched the stream live and some of the negative comments in the chat made absolutely no sense at all.

    Venom (2018)

    Likewise, but her recent SJW rantings has ruined it for me.

    Venom (2018)

    I was a bit skeptical about the production quality after seeing the first trailer, but the second one has me very excited about seeing it.

    Shazam! (2019)

    I know who the character is, but I've never read any of those comics specifically. I'm not saying it's not loyal to the source material because I have no idea. It just looks campy and low-budget. Maybe it'll be great for those who like the character, but I doubt there's anything about this that...

    Dune (2020)

    I don't think a modern Dune movie could do the legacy justice; a premium stream series (as some others have already said) would be infinitely better. Maybe, if the movie does really well it'll spark some interest in a series.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I only learned about this game a few months ago. I really have no idea how it managed to fly below my radar considering how much of a fan I am of isometric RPGs. Super stoked.

    Shazam! (2019)

    Maybe I have a perpetual stick up my ass, but this movie looks gay as fuck.

    Glass (2019)

    I can't really nail down why Unbreakable and this new movie have such amazing appeal, but I'm really excited about seeing it. Also, I never got around to seeing Split, but now I feel I have to.

    The Expanse

    Don't misunderstand me. I get it, I just don't like it. I'm a veteran who was in a fairly high-speed job so I identify with these characters on a very loose and abstract level. I think that's why I have such a problem with women in these roles. I've seen women tested and they NEVER measure up...

    The Expanse

    This show makes me want to play Mass Effect.

    The Expanse

    So, I'm half-way through S2 and still loving it. The only complaint that comes to mind is the 'diversity' casting for several of the characters. The biggest offenders being the women in the platoon of Mars Marines. I really dislike the lip-curled, snarling, tough woman trope. Maybe it's just...

    The Expanse

    I had no idea this show existed until reading about it here a few days ago. I'm on episode 9 of S1 and HOLY SHIT this show is great.

    Vampyr

    Every time one of these average vampire games is produced with a subsequently mediocre reception, the odds of a truly awesome White Wolf style game getting green-lit become a lot less likely. I'm incredibly excited about Cyberpunk 2077 and it would be a dream for that team to tackle a vampire...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I tend to play in a similar way. I'm no Paladin, but I generally try to do the 'right' thing in my pragmatic view. That said, I was REALLY surprised at how my choices turned out. In truth, I wasn't happy with the consequences of some of my decisions and now that I think about it I don't believe...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I just finished it last night. Overall, I loved it. Granted, it had some real problems that have already been covered in this thread. My biggest complaint is that some aspects of the game just felt mailed in when compared to the rest of it. I tried to extend the experience by doing every quest...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I found a slick way to shoplift/pickpocket for people with low stealth scores (or against mobs with insane alertness). Have the character who is going to steal the items stand in an area where they are unnoticed while in stealth, then have Aloth (or whoever can cast Dimensional Shift) stand next...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    So, I'm one of the people who was giddy with excitement waiting for this game. Now, I really do like the game, but man.....the combat.. Early on the combat leaves A LOT to be desired. First, the ability system is unnecessarily complicated. Sure, you can figure it out with a bit of reading, but...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I don't normally get physically excited about games anymore, but PoE II does it for me.

    Stellaris

    I have very little 4x experience, but I have this game in my Steam cart trying to decide to buy it or not. It's not a matter of its cost; I just don't know if I'll like it. That, and the learning curve looks pretty steep. I mean, I know I'll be able to "play" it, but my limited experience with...

    Black Desert

    The difference is the regression on failed upgrade attempts. That alone was enough to make me (and many, many others) quit the game. The gear upgrade grind would be ever-present even without that ridiculous mechanic.

    DDO (D&D Online)

    I'm installing now and I've been reading multiple wikis for the past hour, but everything I've come across thus far is too general, intended for truly new players, or addresses the end-game. I can't remember what kind of gear my rogue had, but I'm fairly confident I was not well geared for my level.

    DDO (D&D Online)

    I've played DDO on and off for years since its release. However, my last experience was with the Underdark expansion. I played it for a few weeks and quit because the friend I played with didn't enjoy the game. I have always loved it, but it's a lot less fun alone. Especially because I play(ed)...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Rather than just throw on the normal anti-detective layer, I just wrote 4 a.m. gym pics because it's tacky as fuck to take your shirt off for selfies in the middle of the day. I only did it because I was completely alone in the gym. What would have been better? The classy bathroom selfie? Shut...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Don't stress your stat/skill distributions. You get the ability to redistribute them as much as you would like about 15 hours in.

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    NWN2 suggestions would be even better.

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    I loved NWN, but I haven't ever played a single second of player created content. Are there any single player modules as good or better than the paid content? I know quite a few of them have good reviews, but I don't quite trust them enough to re-install. if so, which ones do you recommend?

    I resisted the temptation to fire back earlier. Ironically, before your post I took a 60 second look at his post history and came to the same conclusion.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    About two months. I was on 2400 for the first month of the three months I have been cutting. I'm going very slow to minimize lean mass loss. My thyroid problems aren't completey under control so my energy levels vary a lot, but I don't feel any worse now that I'm on a deficit if that answers...

    Everquest II

    EQII is one of the games that I constantly find myself wanting to play, but never do for more than a day or two because I feel overwhelmed by so many different things. If the player base was larger, I doubt this would be an issue because I could look up most of the answers to my questions, but...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    So, I've finally recovered enough from my injuries to begin lifting again and I've been back at it about 3 months. I had a really strong base before my surgery, and muscle memory is very real. I'm still quite a ways from my goal as I am carrying too much bodyfat and my wheels are lagging...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I've played this game for a few weeks at a time for years. The last time was probably a year ago. I hate to see this go because despite my on and off relationship, it was fun and I liked having it as an option even if I didn't play for long periods. I never spent enough time to get concerned...

    Black Desert

    Earlier in this thread someone else said it best when they said that BD was the best game they'd ever played that they couldn't recommend to someone else. That's exactly the way I feel about it. Summer before last I spent that entire Summer playing BD and there is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much to like...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    After some more consideration, I just can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the art direction. The game is beautiful, no doubt, but ....fuck I dunno.

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    GOTY unless something miraculous happens. I haven't finished it, but if I have one nitpick it's just that I wish it was more dark. I get that a lot of people like the humor, but I prefer these kinds of RPGs to be more gritty.

    NBA 2016-17 Season Thread - Knicks in 6

    I live in OK and look forward to this season. My wife and I usually attend 5 or 6 games. I may be alone, but I'm not a fan of the Kanter/Melo trade. The kid is talented and only going to get better. Melo is Melo and soon to ride off in to the sunset. Also, dat culture shock for him. Has to suck...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    How are you guys prioritizing your primary stats? I don't fret too much about it, but I can't help but feeling that I may be doing something wrong by dumping them (for the most part) in to whatever that characters primary damage stat is. I'm not having any problems in combat yet, but I'm only...
