    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You will have more than just from legendary gem and Invokers so I don't know when you would ever use Vit under that math either. Edit: And topaz. Actually if you have under 50k thorns damage you aren't even using thorns at all

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yea I'm gonna have to agree with Runnen. Snope was one-dimensional and was kinda dumb. Rey was also pretty single-minded for a while and was boring for a good part of the movie. I like seeing actual character behind the dark side exterior. The Sith in the prequels come off as evil for the sake...

    My initial impressions of Jhin are: He's sort of a caster marksman, but has a later power spike than Ez/CorkiIf he gets ahead, he can absolutely wreck the enemies' dayIf he's behind, he has some utility but can have a hard time farming back up to evenYou cannot afford to be bad or half-assed...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The bonus thorns / hp from 5 vit gems is outweighed by the damage from str gems pretty early on in the gearing process. There's some math somewhere on it but if your str is over like 7000 or something, str gems are better (may be higher threshold than that but that's not that much str nowadays...

    League Of Legends

    I actually rarely played Udyr and bought Spirit Guard just because it's by far my favorite skin in the game. If he's actually like decent now, my teammates may have to suffer me playing a champ I hardly play in a role I haven't done much since S3 :P

    Hearthstone

    "dead" is a strong word, although with dusting not nearly being equivalent to actual trading (like in physical CCGs) it hurts more for sure if you care not for Wild mode. Still be useful in some brawls, adventures, and likely some unforeseen nonsense yet to come.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Actually that's probably part of it. I just wasn't doing damage fast enough at 67. I think I actually did find a slightly stronger iteration with my gear but then forgot about it. I also theoretically had a strong LoN Bombard gear set (only 3? non-ancients, lots of thorns) but I don't know how...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Vyr's was slow and tedious for me but I did get it on my first run. Not sure if I was doing something wrong but I can't imagine going much higher than 55 without an ancient want + good rolls on gear. Fire-Rasha is great both for doing 55 GR and for the TX achievement (especially the In-Geom...

    Hearthstone

    That's basically how Magic: The Gathering works so not surprised he would suggest that. I agree, for the most part, but we don't know what changes they're making to classic cards. A lot of classic cards are just underpowered or worthless, and it would be nice to see those get a bump, whereas I...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Blessed shield is plenty fun but I'm kinda surprised how low my survivability is with only 4-5 pieces not ancient right now. I know that's ~20% DR I'm missing but I can get almost one shot on GR55 so not sure how far that would even get me. I need to look and see wtf I'm missing. I really just...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You can do a kind of fun hammer build with the Haull belt and attack speed. I used this to do the 55 GR for Years of War and it was easy enough. It's not as strong as shields but amusing at least. Note that I had pretty sub-par gear too, weapon only had 2k or so sheet dps. The dps of Justice is...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I don't know if there's mathematically a way to get your thorns high enough to kill mobs in T10 with Spiked Barding. According that reddit post linked, you do roughly 2.5 times your actual reflect damage (the number you see when mobs hit you) per tick of Spiked Barding. At T7, that means your...

    Any site that has "keys" anywhere near the URL or name is basically reselling cheap ass physical copies from other countries for a massive profit for themselves to U.S. people, mostly. G2A is mostly guilty of enabling people in their market to do that although supposedly they themselves sell...

    Hearthstone

    Important thing to note is it's not tied to session actually, just tied to pack # and set. So you open 39 packs of the core set one day, you're going to get a core legendary on that 40th pack even if it's weeks later, but not on GvG say.

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    They could have interpreted it as not 3 fucking oversized movies and it would be most of the way towards being better. There's definitely probably 2-3 hours of good enough movie inside the trilogy as it is, if someone had just focused on making THAT, we'd have ourselves a good Hobbit movie.

    League Of Legends

    The name is theorized as "Jhin the Deadeye/Deadshot" so marksman makes sense for sure. It's been a while since the last one too right? Not counting Kindred because Kindred is weird.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Snoke made some offhanded comment about Kylo being a knight of Ren so presumably they already are doing something different. This may just be headcannon but I always figured that Jedi/Sith were just 2 different Force schools/religions/cults - the Jedi just happened to be huge and invested in...

    League Of Legends

    While certainly not 100% guaranteeing anything, in the past Riot always starts with X.1 as their season patch and they've previously said they want the champ select to be live for the start of the season, sooooo unless it breaks (which it probably will), expect it in the season 6 patch.

    My wishlist is 100 items and I mayyyyyyyyyyybbbeee will get 4-5 of them, and that mostly because of gift card money I got. Almost definitely getting Talos Principle, Dungeon Warfare, Satellite Reign, and Just Get Through, but all those are at historic lows anyway.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    It seems like there's probably tons of different force-user organizations out there. Jedi Knights and Sith were one, but there seem to be random people that just have some force ability and then also more orders out there (suggested by this movie). Maybe they'll fall back to just Sith-Jedi...

    Which is made even worse by the fact that the original emulates beautifully on the PC. All that extra nonsense is pointless.

    He Never Died - with Henry Rollins

    Sort of. According to their calendar they have other stuff going on though, but the next week or so is pretty lame looking. I should ask someone at Tivoli if it's on their radar but I don't actually KNOW anyone there.

    He Never Died - with Henry Rollins

    I mean, I had no problem finding "What We Do in the Shadows", like 3 theaters nearby had that for quite a while. I would have thought this was actually a bigger release than that one. Maybe it's some weird middle ground of not indie enough for the indie theaters and not big enough for the...

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    I had indeed not heard that somehow. Or maybe I heard a rumor forever ago? Regardless, that sounds great, although there's no hint what time it will be set. Since they didn't specify the time I would assume DS9-ish or post DS9 but who knows

    He Never Died - with Henry Rollins

    Hmm it seems like it's not in my city at all tomorrow. Is there a larger release planned? Usually we get everything here. First movie I've been interested in seeing that I can't. Edit: OK seriously cannot find a theater showing this within like 50 miles of Kansas City in the next 2-3 weeks...

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    Making a post-TNG show is harder now with the dumb reboot movies existing. You have to convince investors/studios/whatever that it can succeed after 2 panned series in a row and now a (moderately) successful reboot movie series that would be ignored entirely. I am all for it though.

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    Yea, as long as the movie is self-aware of that, it works really well. Internal consistency is key.

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    I think the real shame of these movies is the casting of the main crew is actually fantastic and it's been thrown away on garbage writing. I would watch the fuck out of a series with them in it and I haven't had cable in over a decade. A lot of the best writing of TOS/TNG/DS9 was dealing with...

    Fallout 4

    Wait, are the shop workers are supposed to sell you stuff? When I talk to them at the shops it just opens the normal trade window right away with their inventory in it. I thought it was weird that there were so many different shops but they all didn't sell anything.

    Hearthstone

    I played like 7 games of the brawl to clean up some quests. Lost first as Mage cause I didn't know what to expect. Won next 2 on Priest then next 3 on Shaman, beat mostly Warlocks on the way (one Shaman vs. Shaman match which was a fucking orgy of 1-mana fire elementals and Mistcallers). Shaman...

    $25 Amazon Gift Card for apps, expires 12/31 - Suggestions?

    You seem to go heavy for the digital board games, but if you are interested in mobile-only games, check out any of the Kingdom Rush series, Monument Valley, and Quell. I enjoyed all of those on my phone.

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    That's not how retail works... EA got 1 copy bought from you. Because Best Buy had already paid them the wholesale price for that 1 copy. You stunted Best Buy, not EA, although Best Buy is an equally shitty company so still well done I guess. On the Black Ops III bit, yea it's a good...

    Just Cause 3

    I have it on PC and I'd rate it 8/10 probably. It's just a strictly better game than Just Cause 2 as far as I've experienced. My played hours says something like 35+ but it's probably closer to 15-20 considering I've left it paused running errands and working a bunch of times, and I'm still...

    Fallout 4

    The story doesn't even feel like it's intentionally written for fewer variables, it just seems small in scope of missing any meaningful choice whatsoever. Even though you never seem to see the impact of the protagonist's actions from previous games in the most current one, at least when you're...

    Fallout 4

    Their excuse is the previous leader died and the new one was a bit of a Trump or something. But that just drives home the fact that if one crazy-ass person can rise through the ranks and assert so much influence over the whole BoS, then the survivors/vault dwellers that opt in should have...

    Fallout 4

    I mean really, that's the fundamental issue with the Fallout games, the newer ones especially. We've seen a bunch of iterations of a super-powerful wastelander rising to power and essentially picking teams, and there's never any way or even attempt really to tie back to that. Partially because...

    Fallout 4

    So maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I have a question about... decorating, I guess. I took a bunch of misc junk to display in my house in Sanctuary, spent a good 20 minutes setting stuff up, finding places, making it look like home, and giving up on umbrella stands. It looked fine, until I...

    Batman: Arkham Knight

    I never played City when it first came out (didn't even own it due to bad feedback) but got it for free so figured why not. The combat system is nearly identical but timings and gadgets are slightly different... City has a slight edge here. But the actual world, writing, etc. of Origins is way...

    Batman: Arkham Knight

    Origins is plenty good now. I played it end of last year/early this year and I thought it was better than City.
