I think I mentioned it in the other thread, but I read a bunch of stuff on this a bit back during one of their last bouts of sabre rattling and the big takeaway was that in the 1960s or so North Korea had a window open to attack South Korea and inflict severe casualties and massive damage and...

I agree the plot doesn't seem very complex, the first episode plus this seasons previews telegraph most of the story I think.

Not in 4e, weapon damage is untyped. Some things will have varying degrees of resistances to specific types of damage, like Fire, Cold, Thunder, Necrotic, whatever. Weapons just do "damage", there is no "slashing" or "blunt" differentiation in 4e. Very rarely things will have specific...

After finishing Season 1, I was really pleased with the whole thing honestly. I already knew the places and people and the stories, which made me hesitant to watch some parts, I think it is around episode 6 or 7 when I hit the point where I knew "Ok, every episode is just utter horrible suck...

There is kind of a D&D item analogue... oh wait, they are charging real money for that? lol

I have no idea how you guys watched this as it came out. I only wanted to watch 2-3 episodes then some more tomorrow, I think I'm starting episode 9 now as I can't put it away. Also, I really like the map thing in the intro, dunno why but I find it very cool.

Ned Stark makes me all tingly. Also, who knew dire wolf babies were so adorable? I want a dozen.

Oh shit, if I go watch on HBOgo, they have Deadwood too, I can finally watch that as well. I suck at this lol.

So, I'm ready for abuse for this, but here I go: I haven't seen the show or read the book yet. In an ultimate geekiness, I've read a bunch of the wiki as I play the tabletop RPG (which is quite good actually). I just realized I currently have HBO and it has both seasons of Game of Thrones...

Once again, no one wants war with North Korea because after they lose, which we know they will, the reconstruction and humanitarian effort of the aftermath will be so massive that no one wants to deal with it. No one has the money, manpower or desire to dig all these millions and millions of...

I'm getting revenge on the bad dwarf brother, and I have to say, whatever bitching you have about the game, framing the whole game as a story being told by Varrick and how it occasionally reminds you of that is just really fantastic.

That autonomous military truck James raced in the previous episode was pretty amazing and scary at the same time.

I have read your post three times and I can't figure out if you didn't get the dual meaning of The Other's words when he said them due to who he was saying them to in that scene. Or if you just started putting it into place because of the Whedon quote or what. I guess I was so taken with the...

Interesting, game is going to be default-mouselook?

I agree, especially how few good black heroes there are, I'd think they'd try to cash in on Cage. Give him a Chinese Iron Fist and a white detective girl (maybe some C-class hero I can't think of) and ker-pow! Heroes-for-Hire HBO series/TV show/Movie/what-the-fuck-ever.

Interesting. I forgot to talk to the skanky pirate queen there in the bar this play through and now in Act 2 she isn't there. I wonder if she is gone from the game permanently.

He helped heat peoples homes here (in New England), including my great godmother's house. *shrug* I think it was mostly to give Bush II the finger, but whatever.

That video hurt my brain. Hot new 15 sec of Daft Punk is hot though.

You were a virgin in college?

Watch it.

It seems pretty simple. The first episode and the previews gave away basically the entire first season plot. At the same time though it is a real good kind of "show, don't tell" way of giving us Viking information, especially if you're rather ignorant of it.

I'm really enjoying this. I'm going to be pissed and unwilling to wait a week when its over.

That answers my biggest question, what year this would be, 790-something.

There was some spots of bad special effects and some just plain silly acting and story in there, lots of skipping over stuff as well, but wasn't too bad I guess.

Wow. River of blood kind of sucked.

Good lord. It's been over 25 years since I remember reading these stories. What fucked up stories these are to be teaching anyone, never mind children!

I agree. But the Christians destroyed most of the European religions before there and a lot of the information is guesswork and piecemeal, especially since they didn't write anything down. All we have is the confused translations of the Christian monks. BUT ANYWAYS! I'm kind of digging...

7 Minutes in and I'm already offended out of my fucking mind.

Are we going to see Noah bang his 14 y/o daughter to repopulate the planet?

Oh lord that sounds horrible.

This is what I'm curious about. If it was on "The Bible Channel" I'd ignore it entirely. Because it is on the History Channel though, it makes me a bit curious about what the content will really be. There is a fair amount of leeway in how "The Bible" is presented. 2 hours of MST3000 of the...

Interesting. No healing classes?

No idea what this is going to be, aside from being about the Bible (duh) and this first episode is 2 hours long. I'm curious if it is going to be be part documentary part drama (like Men Who Built America) or something else entirely. I figured I'd start a thread as it could be interesting...

What was the deal with the PM from Andys?

Not looking at what does and doesn't work in other games and and ignoring what ideas have been tried and failed isn't a great idea either. Did they really restart several times though, like they had no real game plan in the beginning and have just been kind of making it up as they go?

Key word *some* hope.

They only real reason I hold out some hope here as it looks like more of a "Guild Wars 2" clone, than a "WoW Clone" so it may have some some hope.

He's 37 I think, this contract brings him to 40 and, theoretcly, retirement.

I'm on normal. I don't find the gameplay in these compelling enough to be worth playing on an increased difficulty, when the only real reason to play is for the story. I like Varric as a character, I just don't easily see how good he is in a fight. I see "Boom, Marril's AE goes off, everyone...

I found area effect spells make a massive difference. I was just going to have a tank, heals and double mage AEs. Hardly a big deal as I use Merril to AE and Varrik to pewpew stuff.
