    Survivor

    I've only ever watched the seasons as they've happened so my memory gets tainted by each season. Was there some shift in gameplay or idols or something that signifies old vs new school? They all talk about it like it's a real thing but is there something to it? Is it just everyone before...

    I haven't played Imperator: Rome so I can't speak to its reviews, but in general Paradox grand strategy reviewers are nit-picky and harsh. There's so many things happening in their games and the reviewers will complain about some obscure diplomacy scenario and stuff like that.

    Yea, when he just casually drops that Carole killed her husband I can't even imagine their reaction.

    Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness

    My understanding is there's 3 layers of Joe footage. 1-Stuff Joe and/or the hat guy filmed for joe.tv or Joe's personal reasons 2-stuff the hat guy filmed for his "retirement" reality show 3-stuff the Tiger King producers filmed The Tiger King producers were originally just interested in doing...

    I know it would likely ruin a lot about the show but for a long time I've though a "behind the scenes" for these kinds of shows would be kind of cool. I mean more than ponderosa. Stuff like the logistics behind camp, food and water, the camera/producer crews, challenges. This last episode in...

    It was probably as much boredom as hunger but didn't we see shark bbq like 3 weeks ago?

    Survivor

    That's kind of the problem with these social-competition shows. What makes entertaining television and makes the fans happy isn't necessarily what makes players "win." If we could have some crazy fucker burn socks and dump rice every season (and more importantly, shit talk about it in...

    Survivor

    I agree with you on principle, but some winners didn't even really "play." If they said at final tribal my strategy was to do nothing so I wouldn't be a threat or piss anyone off then, sure, their gameplay won. Too often though they try to pathetically pitch some weak moves that only existed in...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    My only gripe about the new sets is that they don't count for conquests. Years of war is laughably easy now with the power bloat and Masters always sucked ass but they are undo-able for the new sets.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yea, it's kind of ridiculous how easy it is to GR75 and unlock T16 on alts on basically your first GR. A couple thousand blood and a dozen or so rare upgrades and you've bypassed all but the grind phase of the game. All in all though I can't complain too much. For a game with no subscription...

    I'm guessing there'll be no "Sandra Sit Out Bench" when the outcasts compete to get back in either. It's not even that I think she didn't really earn her wins, it's that she thinks her shit don't stink. Literally the poster child for butt hurt juries voting dumbly, twice.

    StarCraft 2

    All the co-op commanders are free to play right now. They're up to 18? commanders now plus several new maps if you haven't played in a while. Matchmaking queues are pretty quick too.

    Survivor

    Time will tell but I can't decide if Wendell openly trying to sell his vote is a good move or not. Obviously a season of winners have to realize everyone has a price so Wendell being open about it shouldn't be that shocking. Then again I can see Yul and Nick being naive enough to be personally...

    War of the Chosen is also an excellent step up from an already great vanilla Xcom 2

    3, 4, & 5 seasons are a lot, but these reunion seasons are by far some of the best. They play the game better. They interact with each other in more interesting ways. Their producer interviews are better. It may be partially the edits but you can even see that this season between the 1 time...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Obviously depends on all your gear and paragon, but last season I used the BK swords just fine for everything under gr100. Only switched to rogue/slanderer when I got too squishy.

    I only played through AC4 Black Flag but at least for that title the intro is a bit different since you're not playing as an assassin remembering assassin stuff. The introduction tells you right away almost everything about the templar and guild motivations in the Caribbean and the "tutorial"...

    Having gone through SERE and some other less intense survival training, it is hard to overstate the quality of life improvement from having soy sauce, tabasco, cholula, or some other flavoring to add to your food.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Took the family there for xmas. Yes we got up early for the new ride but it wasn't quite that bad. There were still afternoon boarding passes available 30 minutes after 7am opening. They advertise that they are "standby" and you might not get called but the real tickets were finished by lunch...

    It's one of those rubber plastic ones. My wife bought me one and said he was on the advertisement. They are money by the way, comfortable and safe for any real work.

    Farm Simulator

    If you don't want to outright cheat but still want easy money you can abuse the buy/sell land mechanics. The price for land is the same for both buying and selling and doesn't factor in the state of the crops. Let the AI plant & fertilize and buy the plot when ready to harvest, even if you...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I much prefer my monumental drastic changes to the universe completely out of the blue sans conversation a la hyperspace kamikazes. That leaked plot isn't super terrible....if they hadn't made TFA and TLJ. What's the point of the First Order or Snoke if Palp was out there the whole time with...

    I don't generally have a storage problem during the season. Non season, which I never log into except to empty the post-season mail, has 1+ tab per class for sets, another tab or so per class for ancients, 1 for gems, and now the better part of a tab for mostly useless primals that I have a...

    Your boner is probably from the 45 seconds of OT footage. I counted like 5 seconds of footage from TLJ and none of it plot relevant so I wonder if they're just gonna pretend most of it didn't happen.

    Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

    That peanut butter sandwich scene in Endgame with BW and Cap showed that the non-snapped avengers were still on the job. With the exception of the people Tony Stark pissed off (which now includes Mysterio and Ralphie) every other villain in the MCU was spawned by an infinity stone. Once the...

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    As a practical matter why would you ever pick a black female as a globetrotting covert agent. Good luck sending her on a mission to eastern europe/russia, east asia, or muslim countries (now including parts of western europe). Joke all you want about Connery pretending to be a Jap but that's...

    She's an abandoned orphan on a sand inventor planet. Virginity was never in the cards for her. Maybe the lightsaber was coated in her schmegma and that's the real reason Luke tossed it aside.

    They did cast a black guy. He was the one that went right, looked over the edge, and stuck his foot under the graphite.

    Even if the judge and prosecutor were fairly powerful, Scherbina was a member of the Central Committee and vice chairman of the Counsel of Ministers. That's like having the Vice President and Secretary of Energy in the room.
