    Webcomics thread

    I read quite a few, obviously. I'll second some of those previously mentioned. Oglaf is amazing. Order of the stick is pretty great. Especially for a stick figure comic. Manly guys doing manly things is good. http://paranatural.net/ Fantastic comic. great coloring. every...

    StarCraft 2

    Call me crazy, but WoW had some good stories here and there. What the fuck happened? War3 wasn't exactly the pinnacle of well crafted story, but it wasn't this bad. was it? Although, I suppose the retconning in WoW got worse and worse too. now I think about it..

    yeah, the word castle and animated is about the only similarity.

    Did you assign him to a military squad? and give him a position perk other then militia? Getting massive lag issues with .31 patch. This job queuing has bugs I think.

    Riddick (2013)

    yeah, that part is really disjointed. you have the parts that connect the two. and you have the glorious space opera. Its like if Dune was a direct sequel to Alien. A huge conflict is created just by your mind trying to make these two pieces fit.

    Riddick (2013)

    its very different. Pitch black is alot like Alien as mentioned earlier. its very much a tight survival horror. Chronicles is... Moebius, 2000 AD, Dune etc. Its a bit flawed. not really going one directly enough. It wants to be this mind blowing, Sci fi epic, but get dragged down in...

    Beds are nice. but I skip them. just using straw. tailor, food, metal is more important I think. I don't know what magic build orders people are doing, to get things up as fast as some claim. Spring of year 2. my newest kingdom is not looking good. I was at like 12 gnomes in winter of...

    Iron Man 3 [Spoilers Everywhere]

    you have to understand, studio producers are quite possibly the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet. Completely made up trending as law. Tons of magic movies get put out constantly. yet, we keep seeing this insistence on trying to ground the magic in comics in science. Even Thor, and...

    Grimm

    This show really suffers from the false drama because "everyone is a fucking retard" problem of bad writing. All this shit, because Nick refuses to tell Juliette the truth. And there doesn't appear to be any reason not to. Yet hes ruining her life, and putting it in massive danger by not. At...

    Its my understanding Season 3 was going to go back to episodic, vs that prolonged story of season 2.

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    Seems The Clone Wars is cancelled. Although.. not exactly or something. http://starwars.com/news/a-new-direc...animation.html Season 6 was in production. So its possible, that there is something planned ahead. New name/new channel, movies, or something. It could be ending contract with...

    Supernatural

    I am pretty sure the creators hate women or something. Massive bromance with leads. Hired two male soap opera stars. Every single female character on the show for more like 2 episodes has died, usually badly.

    liquid does flow. And rain even can fill holes. however, anything under like 10% evaporates, so most of the time this won't occur. ramps can make ditches that will fill if you do it right. Magma is at 100 level.

    Caught oss 117L cairo today. very good indeed. Very much Pink Pather type parodies. Not the silly slapstick of most modern parodies post Airplane, Policesquad.

    all you need is 2x1. It doesn't matter which way stairs are facing. you can build a floor in all 4 directions off it. and you can walk through stairs.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    bland talent trees makes sense. In PoE you have a few characters with LOTS of builds. Here you will have LOTS of characters, with a few builds. Its like a LoL,dota, or mad god in the regards. Having 120 champions/characters that each have 20-30 builds would be crazy.

    the red squares on his screenshot is a patrol route for his scout. Building up. you can see the staircase on the inside there. Build terrain> build stairs up. Build terrain> build floor off the stairs. Build terrain> build starts up. placed on the floor. "ceilings" are just floors...

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    well yeah, thats often what a producer does. Producer is not director, or designer. Sometimes, they do mandate from on high. But often, its just giving money, and a name. And yeah, definitely remember that back then, it was very clear his association was largely just to drum up...

    yeah. currently, no enemies can break down walls. They can break down doors. You can build ranged weapons. currently no enemies use ranged weapons. Simply, walling in, does work to keep you safe, above ground. however, this blocks merchants and gnomads as well. Underground is a bit...

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    Yeah. I don't really get the hate. doubt, I can understand. Its been a good while since hes made a good game. Ultima online 1997 Produced lineage in 98. Directed Ultima 9 in 99, produced Lineage 2 in 2003, Produced City of Heroes in 2004, villains 2005, Tabular Rasa in 2007. And...

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    "In a nod to Garriott's early RPG works, Shroud of the Avatar is split up into a high-level overland map and adventure scenes. Scenes are generally re-playable and can be experienced solo or with others." What does this even mean? and is that good or bad?

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    true. On the other hand, it is also a way to get feedback on what the public wants to see. A poll wont really get answers. It removes the risk as noted. for better or worse.. Imagine Curt, had put up a kickstarter saying he needed $400m to make an mmo. Well that would have avoided a...

    Lost another kingdom in fall year 1. haha. Third one is going much stronger now. got lucky with Tin on level 12. Changed my build order focus a bit, and have torches up and running. Man power is still wicked low. miners are miners/blacksmiths. only 1 soldier atm.. day 1 fall. open the...

    -ology is "study of". Bio- "being life". Yeah, plasmids are adam and eve. Adam being the mutagen found in the sea slugs. Eve.. I don't remember exactly what eve was other then the fuel to use the powers, after adam mutated you. Bio definitely is referring to the perversion of life...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    Honestly, I have not seen a bug personally in some time. The game is MUCH harder now. Mants will wreck you. Even goblins/skels are tough to deal with in year 1. The new crafting slowed early game down quite a bit. you are very undermanned. you can't really afford to get soldiers...

    Bioshock Infinite

    yeah, I can't say I understand why they felt then needed the "bio" and that the "shock" wasnt enough to denote the brand. Yeah, maybe there will be tiein to explain it.

    Atmospheric storytelling is still storytelling. Story is the whole package. BS1's gameplay was shit. And of course everything after the Ryan reveal is near complete shit. As that one blog about how "it should have ended" put it. And was of course completely correct. BS2 improved the...

    Man of Steel

    Thought this was interesting. Reading up on some of John Byrne's crazy. But he is also the author that really kindof defined him, back in the 80's. Again, largely the one behind the post-crisis reboot. Tycoon Luthor we all know for example. On Superman

    Has anyone noticed this game SIGNIFICANTLY drains the battery on their tablet for some reason? Like my android 7. when playing the game. 6hour tops. It actually will slowly drain the power, if its plugged into the pc via usb even. and even in sleep mode, will drain the battery in a day...

    huh. yeah. If you have the things ready to go, and builders. Placing thing is very high on the priority list. it should get done quickly. Pathing would be the next question. sure there is no broken stair, or removed floor or something?
