All true, but there's an appeal to it for sure. Turning EQ into a temporary job will either kill the fun or make it a lot more fun. For me I've pretty much done everything in EQ in the past and the game just isn't that interesting, so turning it into a meta-game of sorts by seeing if I can make...

$82k a year is considerably more than a large majority of Americans make at their full time jobs, not sure if I'd poo-poo it. Especially when it's from playing a game that they'd be playing anyway. He said he got $7k on his best month and that a typical month was lower than that, so it wouldn't...

What's that for? I'm gonna listen to "Walking On The Sun" by Smash Mouth and watch American Pie and Wrestlemania 15 before I take a bus to the nearest college and back while studying the guide (like I used to study the EQ guide on bus rides to school), then play Baldur's Gate. Gonna be awesome.

Since women never get so much as a bruise or a bloody nose in Marvel movies (aside from Black Widow, which was self-inflicted), it's mystifying why the good guys don't just form a squad of female Avengers and let them handle Thanos and other major threats. Since they no-sell everything they'd be...

When I took over management of a Gamestop, I was asst-manager at one store and manager at another store. They had removed all of the strategy guides from their shelves not long before that, and priced them all to one cent so they could be trashed. Both stores had massive piles of guides in the...

If anything it would deflate it due to excess kronos flooding in, forcing people to undercut to move them. I thought I was one for a while because I make around 20-30 krono a pop on TLP launches, but I hadn't seen nothin' yet.

Depends on what game you're talking about. Souls 2 has Attunement and Adaptability which both add to the non-levelable Agility stat, which determines your iFrames. Your roll starts out significantly worse than Souls 1's roll, then as Agility levels up, it evens out, and eventually I think it's...

I didn't need a guide for Haligtree either. Got lost a couple times in terms of hitting a dead end and having to look around for another route, but it's basically just "head downward" for the whole thing. I think "Keep going down, stupid" is what my first girlfriend used to tell me when she was...

I ended up at level 265 when I was done with the game and that was on like NG+++...so 230 is super high for a first run. Most people probably beat the game at 160, give or take 20. At 265 I had every stat I wanted, as high as I wanted em. Could have maybe gone up to 300 just to fully max those...

The white-out zone doesn't go on for long at least. The worst place in the whole game is the little town right before you ascend from the snow field to the Haligtree. Invisible assassin enemies, archers that can snipe you from across the town with pinpoint accuracy when you try to go across the...

Sekiro is totally different from the other From games and probably my least favorite as well, which is like being the least attractive body part on 2012 Scarlett Johansson. From what I've heard, once you get good at it, it becomes maybe the most fun of the lot. However I've never been any good...

Thanks to Blackrock and ESG investing, you can love woke bullshit AND love money without them being necessarily at odds. Long as the underwriting is covering all the losses. As for this movie, all I have to say about it is... a large disinterested wanking motion in the air

Basically a lesser version of It Follows. Great movie if you want to see a bunch of graphic suicides. Watched this with my mom a couple weeks after my friend offed herself (who my mom was also close with) and holy fuck the movie was unpleasant. We watched the whole thing and didn't really talk...

Maybe I was seeing something that wasn't there. You'll forgive me for expecting Wasp to make Ant-Man look like a chump at every turn when the same thing happened in Thor 4 and Strange 2 (Female Captain America and Scarlet Witch were vastly more effective than any of the men, who were mostly...

I never sold any armor/weapons, they tend to not sell for much and if you keep them then eventually you'll have a huge collection. As time went on I kept finding out about interesting weapons and good-looking armor, then checking my inventory and finding that I had 'em already, which was great...

To get the Full 1999 Experience bro

Question, does this NWN guide apply to the enhanced edition version of NWN? I assume that's the case about all of these guides that I've gotten. Figured I'd get one more for the last retro game in the group (there's also Planescape, but guides for that run a pretty large amount now so I'll just...

Oh yeah, Harad is basically Africa. Which means Rhun is...Russia? Or Eastasia, depends on whether Mordor is Germany or Russia in this equation. I think they should bump the cap to 150 and end the game's progression / main campaign where it started, in this next Angmar update. Easy for me to say...

Found a list of all the raid fights in the game, lot more than I thought. A few Ringwraith fights even. Looks like Mordirith is kind of the recurring Big Bad for a lot of the game and sort of an honorary 10th Ringwraith. He's even positioned as above them in some of the later raids which is...

Damn, I remembered totally wrong then, cause I did indeed see these scenes. I must have blocked them from memory.

It's stupid if the whole game isn't like that. You're weeding out the weak and soft from a game that they would have been able to play and are now going to walk away from with a bad opinion, completely unnecessarily.

Good stuff here. I particularly like this section, which is brief and understandable enough to send to people who don't understand why CRT is a problem. Made a couple minor edits for normie readability: Critical Race Theory claims that the West is systemically biased in favor of Whites, which...

Stick of Truth is one of the most enjoyable games I played last decade I think. It's a little like Earthbound, only with South Park characters. So much weirdness and "Am I really seeing this" moments. I think I even got the platinum for it. This "censored" scene is the same in all versions I...

That's pretty stupid because it means the first boss is gonna scare people off unnecessarily. Lost count of all the times I've seen people say they gave up on ER early because Margit was too hard for a first major boss, or they couldn't beat the Tree Sentinel (that one's a real "what the fuck"...

Sounds like they aren't as totally adherent to the lore as they were during the era I'm talking about (2007-2010 or so). What other raids are in the game? I imagine there are a bunch at this point, hopefully some good stuff in the Mordor region because I've always been super-intrigued by it...

PS5 version is fine, yeah? If I ever beat Nioh 1 and 2 I'm coming after this one next if it's up to those standards.

Yeah, I figured it was Miquella. That would be a big curveball. It's probably gonna be Miquella's Dream. Maybe accessed by bringing something to his corpse in the underworld? Had a theory that the DLCs would be entered by visiting the corpses of Miquella and Godwyn in the underworld and I...

I THINK that Britt is on a $1.2M/year or so contract (along with Nyla Rose, for some reason) which was part of the "women main eventers will be paid the same as men main eventers" initiative touted at the outset of the company forming, which didn't really hold up as an idea for very long. At...

So who is the broad (and/or feminine man) on the horse (and/or Torrent)?

There are so many demakes I want to play but I doubt I'll ever get to any of them since they're all fan games. That said, if the Game Boy version of Elden Ring gets finished (right now it's basically an hourlong demo)... I'll plat it too.

Got some guides for the first few to help me get into 'em, gonna party like it's 1999.

Oh, whew, thanks. Yeah, don't need those then. I might look for some actual guidebooks for some of these though, that could be fun.

Thinking about maybe grabbing this set of guides. Might be cool to go Full 1999 and glhave guides on-hand for all the CRPGs. The Baldur's Gate II guide is fine for the regular game right? It has an expansion? name on it so I'm not sure.

Watched Escape From Pretoria (Daniel Radcliffe). Movie about guys who escaped from a South African prison. Takes place near the end of Apartheid. Curious what other people think about it, if anyone has seen it. Some of it really strains disbelief, like the way they forged keys out of wood to...

I remember Tides getting some hype when it was on the way. I was working at the Gamestop and all the co workers there were stoked about it. Then it came out and it was just like...nothing, everyone seemed not crazy about it and it fell out of discussion within a day or two.

I'll go with this order. No Tides? Since that one gets such mixed reactions I could leave it for last and do it if I really feel the need for more after I'm done with the list. In that situation I might also add NWN2, Pathfinder, and this Temple of Elemental Evil thing I keep hearing about...

PS4 and PS5, and if there were a PS3 version I would plat that one too!

Starting to get psyched up for this. Instead of a double (Shaman or Necro or conbination) I think I might do Paladin/Shaman, or maybe even just Paladin. Never really played Paladin seriously and certainly not in a raid format, and it's very different from my usual SK, so I think it might be...

Thanks for all the input. The ones I listed are the ones I have, so I'm not that keen on getting a bunch of others. If I get through the ones I listed that alone would be a massive and unlikely achievement. So BG1 to start? Cause normally in some situations like this it makes more sense to work...
