    NHL 2014-15 Season Thread

    Shaping up to be an interesting race between Boston-Ottawa-Florida for a playoff spot in the East. Ottawa seems to have the best schedule. Boston is pretty brutal almost only playing top teams. Florida is probably out of it, but they play Boston 3 times which could have a big impact...

    Damn, I didn't expect G-Sync to be this noticeable.

    My monitor died about 2 days ago which totally sucks timing wise since I just replaced my PC. I was planning to replace the monitor anyway, it was about 6-8 years old. I was waiting for the new Acer IPS 144Hz with G-Sync and a month or two to let finances get back to normal after the PC. I...

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

    I'll be playing both this and Bloodborne. Most likely Bloodborne first since it's probably shorter.

    The Flash

    They can keep him easily enough, by changing the past so that the reveal to Cisco doesn't happen. In a nice way they give the fans what we wanted...a detailed exposition of what happened, who he is, etc...while it will remain a mystery to the characters on the show.

    The Flash

    That was pretty cool. I didn't expect time travel so quickly, I'm really curious to see how they will handle time travel. Maybe forward time travel is not possible, and he's just living in a new timeline, which is why the Reverse-Flash is stuck here, he's hoping Barry is the key but maybe...

    Guild Wars 2

    You're right that you essentially do the same thing at 80 that you've been doing while levelling, there isn't really an endgame as such in GW2. I personally don't care about ascended gear or the legendary weapons. So for me the end game is exactly like the first 79 levels, so I'm not feeling the...

    Guild Wars 2

    While I agree with Vorph that the Hearts/Events aren't that different than WoW's quest system, it's mostly how it is presented. GW2 makes me have ADHD, I get distracted...sometimes it will take me an hour or more to reach the first heart.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I enjoyed the art style and animation. The setting was great, the Chua are the high point. The found the combat to be responsive and fluid, if not very inspired. I don't enjoy combat that have animation lock like Tera and Neverwinter, but that's just a personal thing. I understand what...

    The 100

    I was late on this show, but I think it has become my favourite TV show. I can't believe how dark this show can be. What I like is that the leaders and people of all factions are not inherently good or evil...they just want to survive, and save their people. The lengths they go to to do...

    Guild Wars 2

    I am playing through the Living Story right now, it's pretty cool, but damn some of the encounters are tough...can die a few times easily. Oh and fuck Dry-Top I hate navigating that zone. Really looking forward to the expansion.

    Smartwatches / Fitness Trackers

    Among the people around me, friends and co-worker...there seem to be some interest/curiosity from the people who actually use a regular watch already, versus the people who don't use watches at all who seem to have little to no interest in it.

    I agree the combat was not fun when I played it. It definitely looked better than it played.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Spent about half a million credits since saturday rerolling LQ to be in midtown to take advantage of Midtown Madness and LQ at the same time. Managed to level Iceman and Psylocke to 60 and in full Unique 60 gear. Not sure which to do next.

    Hearthstone

    So I was playing casual with my Kelthuzad-Echo of Medhiv-Duplicate gimmick mage deck with tons of minions with deathrattles that spawn another minion...like Cairne, Harvest Golem, Sludge Belcher, and Sylvanas(well she doesn't spawn something but steals it). Not having a great night with it, I...

    Hearthstone

    I am totally bored/frustrated of Ranked play...always encountering the same decks, and if you play anything but the most competitive decks you make no progress, couple with the fact that there is really no incentive or rewards other than the card back, I don't see the point anymore. What I do...

    Smartwatches / Fitness Trackers

    I'm an Apple fanboy, I won't be getting a watch though. In my case, it's mostly because I haven't worn a watch in over 30 years. I don't like it. Also, the watch has left somewhat unimpressed, the battery life is probably biggest issue it would seem. That new Macbook is very nice...

    Well I got home, unpacked and setup my new Alienware. It works. Looks pretty cool and extremely quiet and cool, although haven't installed anything to really push it to see what the temperature and noise will be like, but nice so far.

    My Alienware Area-51 just arrived at work. Damn box weight 63 pounds. That a heavy fucking machine. Good thing the ports are accessible or I'd break my back everytime I want to hook something up. Can't wait to bring this home tonight, and set it up. First upgrade in 4.5 years, should be...

    Hearthstone

    It wasn't planned exactly that way, but ended up with Kelthuzad and Dr. Boom and his 2 bombs on the board. I didn't actually think of it but I was able to blow the bombs every round because Kelthuzad kept bringing them back. It was funny. The bombs were definitely not why I had Kelthuzad in the...

    Guild Wars 2

    LOL, I know about liking all the classes. I have an 80 engineer and thief...and my warrior is 64 I think, so last weekend I logged on...I was hoping to get to 70 with my warrior. When the weekend was done, my mesmer had gone from 25 to 32 and the warrior was still 64.

    I binged watched this over the weekend. Damn, it was a surprised...I didn't expect it to be this good. It was much darker than I expected, really loved it.

    The Order: 1886

    I just finished this. I went in with fairly low expectation from everything people were saying, but honestly I was pleasantly surprised and totally enjoy the game. It was short and very linear, that's for sure...but aside from that I thought everything else was solid. I enjoyed the...

    Predestination Sci fi thriller starring Ethan Hawke

    I loved this movie, and while I saw a few of the twists coming, I was still very curious as to how it all came together which in a few case surprised me. All in all, I felt the movie held together very well.

    I'll be in the market for a new monitor soon, I was looking at that Asus and Acer. I'm waiting for the Acer to come out and get some reviews before I decide. The Asus is 1ms, the Acer is 4ms, not sure how much of an impact that will have vs getting better color. But it will definitely be...

    NHL 2014-15 Season Thread

    As a Habs fan who watches every game, let me say this...without Price we wouldn't even be in the playoffs, or at best fighting for the last spot.

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, it's getting boring. I play ladder to get the new card back. Then do dailies in casual with gimmick decks, or non-standard decks that are just a lot of fun to play, although maybe not as efficient. You do get more variety in casual.

    Crowfall

    The wolves also won't play a game without sheep to kill. Again my personal opinion, but guild like PRX who enjoy a good PVP fight, even if they lose once in a while are the vast minority. Most guilds play to win, and will bail if they start losing, or collapse as their member go to bigger...

    Crowfall

    I'm not a huge PVP player, but I enjoy it from time to time, and don't really care either way. I can understand the appeal of nameplates for reputation, and rivalries etc... On the other side, nameplates make it easy to know who the sheeps and wolves are...allowing the wolves to target...

    It could also be something along the lines where he'll take on a lesser role, maybe retire as Iron Man but remain in some way, maybe after Civil War he'll take a role similar to the comics where he becomes the head of SHIELD.

    Marvel's Agent Carter

    It was a very satisfying ending to a great series. I hope we get a season 2, but if not it's still a good series with an ending that essentially ties in all their major story-arcs.

    NCIX and Newegg.ca prices are similar. I bought my last system at NCIX. The thing is both have prices which are adjusted with the exchange rate. Dell seems to absorb a large part of it, or they have not updated their canadian prices. Also I can save the taxes at Dell through the company I...

    Anyone has any experience with Alienware systems? Due to Dell seemingly either not having adjusted their Canadien prices, or deciding to absorb part of the exchange rate. US System is $2,550 CA System is $2,650 Canadien system should be $3,187.50 at 1.25 exchange rate currently...

    They probably knew when they started but then they decided to try and be smart and throw a few twist here and there, and their initial idea no longer applies, and they are trying to figure out what to do now.
