    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    I couldn't remember what I had disliked about FF8 so much until I got to the third disc with its awful and completely out of place quick time events. The game parts of FF8 also finally fall away completely and it becomes a visual novel where the only thing required of me is to move Squall around...

    MTG thread

    They've printed effects like Gridlock before and they are usually houses in limited that show up here and there in Standard in sideboards. Skullcrack is a great deal like Flames of the Bloodhand and Flames saw some play so it seems safe to say that Skullcrack will see some play too.

    MTG thread

    That's not the case at all. Not really. In sets from 3rd to Invasion Block you have things like quality hand destruction, mass land destruction (and 3 mana land destruction spells), other forms of mana denial, tutors, super good card draw, better counterspells, and the kid of acceleration they...

    Well, the only reason I bother to go after X-ATM092 is because I always do things that I only learned were possible years later. I always save Cid in FF6 for the same reason. I didn't even know you could do that until I read it in a magazine long after the game was out. X-ATM092 is worth 50 AP...

    I had been thinking about starting up FF8 again and this thread got me going on it. I couldn't quite remember how playing cards worked at the start. After the opening tutorials and get Ifrit you have access to Card, Refine Lightning, Refine Fire, Refine Ice, and Refine Mid Level Magic. I started...

    As a kid playing FF1 I found what would later be called the Peninsula of Power while exploring and have always used it since to out level that awful marsh cave. That's about all you can do.

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    It is a legitimate complaint of the game that it allows a player to smash it over their knee before they've even seen another town without doing anything special. Unlock a couple GF abilities, play some cards, and refine some items and that's it. Even worse once you start to figure out the...

    I'm going to just assume that you are right about Double because FF8 hasn't been in my PS1 in three years and I'm not about to head over to gamefaqs for this thread but it doesn't actually matter because it doesn't change the fact that Draw sucks and the better way to get magic is to play cards...

    Bullshit. The only thing you have to figure out on your own is that using Draw sucks and playing cards is by far the best use of your time if you are trying to get magic. You don't have to optimize shit. Acquire the refinement abilities of the GFs that you have and then play cards rather than...

    Every game store in my area that ever dabbled into comic books died a terrible death. Walking in and seeing a wall filled with comics is like finding a lump in the shower. I hope it all goes digital.

    Who was it that told a bunch of stories of their EQ hookups on the other forums? Heading out to Arizona and banging a girl in a trailer park and finding out she stole his money and poked holes in his condoms and other crazy shit.

    It makes perfect sense and it is a plan that is both simple and elegant. With comics it is true that they are not a cash cow but the intellectual properties of comic book characters can be incredibly valuable. The purchasing of Marvel by Disney gave them a massive pool of characters to make...

    That idea has logic I can follow so I am going to go with that over the people writing the comic have gone mad. It's still a pretty big Fuck You to the faithful readers of the comics if they are slowly shitting all over a beloved character due to a desire to regain the movie rights.

    What bothers me isn't that Peter Parker is going to be tormented in Hell due to being irrevocably corrupted from his dealing with Mephisto or that Doctor Octopus is going to commit rape by fraud over and over and over. What bothers me is that part of the justification given for One More Day was...

    Well, now what?

    Personally I can't do this shit anymore. The genre just doesn't feel like it is going anywhere. The part of me that gets any enjoyment out WoW and recycled mechanics of other MMOs has been burned out. Star Wars: The Old Republic was it. I'm not playing anymore WoW or anymore WoW clones or any...

    I've left a shitfuck terrible movie and walked across the hall to see something else a few times. For some reason I thought Leatherheads looked alright so I went to see that. Halfway in I just left and saw something else that I can't remember. I also left something I can't remember to see 88...

    I played it a bunch after the commercial release and stopped when it felt like I was just grinding. I tried going back to it later but the game actively prevented me from playing it. I thought the Jester sounded cool so I bought him. I was kicked from the first, second, and third games I...

    Eclipse is one of my favorite games but one of the players in my group absolutely hates it and I don't ever want us to pick a game to play that one of us hates so it's off the table. He's got Twilight Imperium on lock and would play that but I don't know what the fuck I'm doing with that one...

    When I took Logic the professor flat out told us to be the prior edition because he and the other professor for the class had gone through it every single question was the same.

    His Wikipedia entry was way more detailed than Line Trap's but sadly it did not contain information about the smell and taste of his squirt.

    Much like how I think Settlers of Catan is a great game to introduce new players to what the genre can offer I would highly recommend Lords of Waterdeep as an introduction to the sub-genre of worker placement games. In Lords of Waterdeep each player has a number of Agents determined by the...
