    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    So a little different than season 20 where you could put 3 armors in the cube. 4 slots now but only two of any type and no duplicates. I don't read the Haedrig's change as letting you pick from any class, only that the new sets are added to the rotation for future seasons. So functionally no...

    Good news for Vancouver though...when the Canucks eventually lose and they burn the town down again it won't even register.

    My wife is pissed but I calmed her down with the fact that two more days rest only helps the Avs with their injuries and Frankie having to go every other day.

    The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

    I do remember thinking back when I watched them out of boredom on TNT or somewhere that the one redeeming factor was that the mythology was actually somewhat thought out. The vampire dude likes the girl specifically because she's a blank slate since his mind reading powers render any normal...

    Factorio

    As someone who hasn't played Factorio in probably 2 years, what changes have they made to get this to release status? Anything in what I would call the "normal person" category? Don't know if I have it in me to work up to massive logic gated train systems again.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    The expansion quest packs up through Helm's Deep are 99 points until the end of the month. Normally go for 1495.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I believe they are both bind on equip. I still have some of the older level capped heirlooms and they're bound to the characters that have them. The only powerlevel item that I can think of off the top of my head that you can share between characters is the Universal Toolkit.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Compared to the early years the lower levels are a breeze for leveling. You'll outlevel most every zone long before finishing deeds. The group steps of the epic quest are, I think, all soloable now too either with solo instances or super buffs. I'm also on brandywine and second what Brikker...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    The deed boost gives you 2 credits for each skill/kill. Kill 100 becomes effectively kill 50. 90 minutes I believe. Enhanced xp is like rested xp. Enhanced reputation and virtue gives double of those xp for the next 5000/2000 points. I imagine they're the same as the ones they sell which are...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Population might depend on server and race. Made a beorning on Brandywine the other day and there were a half dozen or so in the newbie Archet area. Even in it's prime the non-man race areas were always sparse since Bree is the common staging area prior to Moria. Man quests are kind of more...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    As Raes said, don''t buy the expansion. At this point you only really need the 99 point quest pack. I think all the extra stuff that came with Helm's Deep got rolled into the base game now anyways so you might literally get nothing for those extra 4200 points.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I haven't been to the newest high level zones but I always thought LoTRO could have a tourist mode, kind of like AC:Origins discovery tours. The world is surprisingly beautiful for an older game and full of detail from both the books and movies. Regarding quest packs vs expansions: Expansions...

    Witcher 3

    The underwater shooting is about the only fault I have with the game. One shotting harpies when diving for treasure feels wrong compared to the non-swimming game.

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    Yeah, time will tell, but I think the AC "lore" is essentially capped out that they don't need the modern day stuff now even if they wanted to. Just have your apple of eden mcguffins in game and 99% of the people playing will know what's up. The other 1% will look online and figure it out...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    That's my secret hope with the china flu although I'm skeptical. Movie industry takes a beating from being closed the better part of a year so when it starts running again the push is to go back to what's proven to work. Of course BLM is essentially twisting that 180 degrees. Hopefully...

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    My memory may be a bit faded but I feel like 2, in addition to being one of the best "assassin" games also laid out most of the main lore for the series. IIRC that's where you get the memories going back to adam and eve and what happened to the ancient aliens.

    After not playing DH for years I'm enjoying the GoD build. In groups though if I fall behind even a little I have problems keeping momentum since there's little to tag. What are people using for speed rifts, UE Multi?

    Total War: Warhammer

    You just need to get over "good" and "evil" and play like every faction that's not yours is a potential enemy. Unless you're trying to get every allied Legendary Lord just conquest everyone. Hell, half the time the trait for defeating an "ally" lord is better than having the lord anyway when...

    Satisfactory is more an economy sim. 3D first person Factorio but with less combat. No waves of enemies, just somewhat random wildlife that you clear out when expanding/exploring.

    Satisfactory

    Yea, he does funny stuff in game. Even with inventory hacks his builds are hours and days long. The sheer randomness of everything he does shows he's not copy/pasting much in save editors.

    Total War: Warhammer

    The AI is bad at siege defense too if you have good artillery and/or outrange their ranged. Drop their towers quick than fast forward while your artillery clear the walls uncontested before sending in any melee.

    Total War: Warhammer

    Just about every race has outpost lords that will harass you. As you get more familiar with the map you'll learn what rivalries the AI likes to push, although it's not the same every game. Then you'll play a different race and relearn everything. Pretty soon you'll have hundreds of hours...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Unless you really want that Legendary Lord to lead a stack of yours there's really no long term downside to just using conquest to clean up the rest of Ulthuan (or any other stubborn confederations when you're not High Elf). Half the time, if you wait too long in the game the AI has picked...

    Tried to link specifically to the new 2 part Lance Armstrong episodes but TMDB wasn't having it. Anyway, given the average age of FoH members I suspect many of us watched Armstrong dominate and wore his bracelets. New 30 for 30 about him that I thought was pretty good. Hard to say he cheated...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Trying to measure the value of the DLC's is different for TW:WH than a lot of other games. You're still playing the same game just as a new race/lord so it's pretty easy to get 40+ hours out of a DLC, or even more if you play every lord in the DLC. That said, unless you have some reason to...

    Total War: Warhammer

    If you start as the first lord from any race you can do the "tutorial" that gives you prompts and missions to guide you through the first 10-20 turns. Maybe do the Vortex map first so things aren't quite as overwhelming and unstructured. High elves are considered noob friendly as they have...

    Jeremy's move good or bad? He'll likely survive more weeks now as a "free agent" but the producers chose to show it negatively with the jury commenting. I'm thinking maybe final 3 but no votes for defensive play with no offense.
