    XCOM: Enemy Within

    I was interested in seeing tactics using a 4 man squad for the entire campaign. Using 2 MECs and 2 SHIVs is like having an 8 man squad, and half of them are disposable. Well, technically all of them are, since you keep the suits if the MEC soldier dies, you just lose the ranks. SHIVs are just...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    He's not fastest doing anything. I'm trying to watch the recording from yesterday and he takes 100x as long as it should just navigating screens, changing soldiers, talking to random fucks on his chat, ugh. Makes you want to go to his house and inject him in the fucking eye with a syringe of...

    The Division

    ^^ This. It works, mostly. 360 res will fill up in a few seconds, 720p is either really fast or really slow. Sometimes it disables 1080p. Still better than buffering in tiny chunks. Sometimes reloading the page will get 720p to load faster. Youtube sucks ass for this bullshit.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    I/I Let's Play vids are typically used to entertain and/or instruct and/or show off your tactics. They try to avoid using any tactics considered "cheesy" since I doubt anyone wants to watch that for 20+ hours. Also, soldiers at least have some personality, and viewers can become fans. Tin cans...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Covert Operative with Mimetic Skin = Exalt never gets a shot off. The starting mission where you have to retrieve one of their agents is harder than all the others put together. Exalt is pretty disappointing because of that. The only thing I get out of it is being able to equip weapons that...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Is there where I say "That's Xcom, baby!"? I can never remember. Edit: Oh, and I never liked SHIVs much. Only used 1 on a mission once to try it out. I think they should restrict you to 1 shiv or 2 drones per mission.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    I feel your pain, bro. I hate when that happens. It's much tougher now with the new Sectopods being so tanky. I try to wait til I have 2 guys with Mind Control to use on the Elites, and Disabling shot helps a lot with the Sectos. My recent C/I run I had the most trouble with the base defense. I...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Quineloe, I've been watching that guy's LP, and read some of your comments. Just wanted to let you know I'm almost positive he's using a modified ini file. Either that or he's the luckiest guy on the planet and should be hitting the tables in Vegas, or playing the lottery. I figure he plays I/I...

    Path of Exile

    My favorite thing was finding an upgrade, getting it linked up, then using a few stacks of chromatic orbs to end up with the exact same colors/placement that I started with. So much fun.

    Neverwinter: PC

    The Hunter Ranger? That's the name they went with? Was Archer Bowman taken? When can we expect the Fighter Warrior, the Rogue Thief, and the Healer Cleric? I know it's probably from the rulebooks, like Trickster Rogue, or whatever, but it still sounds stupidly retarded.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Eh, you're exagerrating, it's not that bad, and hardly different from stacking heavies in vanilla. He grenaded the sectopod for 3/5th of it's health and finished it off with the assault's alloy cannon, and the only reason he was able to do that is because the AI bugged and just sat there...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah, I'd have to agree. I played pretty hardcore for a few months and as you can see from the list of uniques I had (one of which I traded for, Death's Harp) none of them are worth much past twinking a new low level character and carrying him to mid level. I had a few decent rares, but a lot of...

    Path of Exile

    *Sold* So, I burned out on this game a while back and doubt I'll be playing again, so rather than see this stuff go to waste (translation: I could really use the money) I thought I'd see if anyone is interested in buying my account. Details are in the spoiler, here's a brief summary: (this is...

    Road House - Reboot

    Yet another movie that has no need to be remade. As for quotes, "Be nice, until it's time to not be nice" is pretty much the best advice I've ever heard and I've tried to live by it since I first saw this movie. Except on the internet.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Yeah, that's always been a core problem with the game. Plus the early game difficulty is mainly caused by RNG. Low aim stats means all your shots are gambles. No matter how perfect your tactics, eventually you have to take a shot, and even if it's a high % it can still miss. And on the higher...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Fucking developers who don't comprehend basic math. You can't expect dodge to be anywhere near as effective as defense (damage reduction) unless health pools are high enough related to incoming damage to allow dodge the time to mitigate. Not like this game where damage is so fast and spiky that...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    So, games about to patch and Gambit is being released. They improved a few things, but he's still pretty lackluster. Below average dps, and even geared with tons of Loh and lifesteal he's still too squishy.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    Makes sense. Soldiers that you "revive" aren't dead, just bleeding out. Seekers strangle you. I guess the medkits don't come with jumper cables. Or, wait, did you mean actual floaters? That'd be a bug then. Nvm.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Final build should be up on TC later today. I have him at level 50, so I'll let ya'll know what's up after I test out the changes. This should be the final numbers tuning, so hopefully his damage and survivability will be majorly buffed. The animations and most skills are great, but there's a...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    There are no dev provided tools, but yeah, the vanilla game had some pretty decent mods done by the modding community. Probably gonna be a little while though, since they have to start over for the expansion, I think. I really miss my armor and weapons mods. And I do not like this new thing...

    Yeah, it's just a hub, and it's been sitting there waiting for this stupid event to end. On the bright side, I managed to stay in the top 500 without stabbing myself in the eye with a rusty spoon. So now I get 3 fortune cards and a re-usable chest spawner. Oh, and I can shoot rainbows outta my...

    Don't get to used to that. Devs have commented on this and similar skills. Expect Elektra medallion nerf at some point. Also, Gambit is on Test Center.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Funny video. Hardly OP though. It's extremely slow dps and very boring, as any 1 power build will be. Like, when I have trouble falling asleep I log in my Storm and go credit grinding with Thundering Maelstrom in MM. Puts me right out.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    The established they didn't give a shit about the comics in X1. Among many stupid differences, we get Rogue, who didn't start out in The BoEM, and never drained Ms Marvel's memories and powers. And have her played by Sookie Stackhouse. (Yes, I know which one came first.)

    The Blacklist

    Except he didn't. She magically dropped it, and nothing else, during the scuffle. The only reason he even noticed it was cuz it was ringing. And why was it ringing? Cuz Lizzy called it. Why the fuck would she answer a call from the cellphone of a guy she just murdered? She wouldn't, but agent...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    It's not about whether or not it could ever happen, it's that May and Fitz/Simmons refuse to even acknowledge the possibility when Skye brings it up, twice. It's just stupid for agents of Shield to exhibit such close-mindedness. I want you to think about May's line about "there are no...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    The problem I have with that is how adamant and certain they were. Shield pretty much exists to deal with weird shit no one has ever encountered before, but they acted like telepathy could never ever exist. It wasn't so much "we've never encountered anything to suggest telepathy is possible" and...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Doubtful. The dialogue in that scene was pretty stupid, but it was basically the writers way of saying "Fox owns the X-men, not us." Sure, mutants, gods and aliens exists, but telepathy? Unpossible!!
