    XCOM 2

    Legendary is fucking brutal. So far, it's less difficult in terms of RNG and numbers than EW, but it is a lot more difficult overall I think. The extra pod in each mission essentially means it is almost alwaysverydifficult to fight and move without a double activation. However, the extra HP and...

    XCOM 2

    Damn mimic beacon is OP. Completely trivializes a lot of encounters if you use it right. Very little reason to use smoke over it, as it soaks easily 2-3 aliens turns in damage. Which in general soaks up more damage than 20 defense does (And unlike smoke, it draws all visible aliens, where as...

    XCOM 2

    I've had this once. I'm not sure if you can manually call down extraction somewhere else but in my game, a grenade landed on the building and blew a tile out, which made the game automatically re-draw the landing. So try that if it's fucked. (I suspect this is a bug with procedural map)

    MacGyver: The Movie

    That's what I was thinking, they already remade this show--Burn Notice. (Little less emphasis on crazy contraptions, but the idea was the same.)

    The best part is, if anyone commented on how they house their tits, it would bepandemonium.Long rants about how men shouldn't tell women how to act, mansplaining and how we're trying to control their sexuality by daring to talk about how they should treat their tits. Then they'd go on to pull...

    Your specialist? I think he needs haywire protocol, but not sure. You can, for sure, hack the scanners right off the bat though. (The one turret I've seen my specialist wasn't on the run, she was injured.)

    XCOM 2

    Well, safer--the whole concealment system has a major flaw in that enemies out of sight sometimes do not illustrate their detection squares. It is frustrating as fuck and I have no idea if it is a feature or a bug. But I ran into a pod just now and saw the advent, but not the sectoid--so I move...

    XCOM 2

    Yep, you need to grab your dead soldiers or any single items on them get left on the field. If it is a kill all alien mission it happens automatically, though.

    XCOM 2

    Some of these skill choices are hard, heh. Finally got a ranger up (Mine got injured on the first mission), blademaster looks deceptively good, +2 damage for such a high damage attack already is boss. Combined with the later ability for assaults to roll in, kill and then roll out makes me really...

    I wouldn't sweat the Avatar timer too much. You don't lose when it is full, you get plenty of time to knock it down and the count down resets.

    XCOM 2

    Are there negative effects for failing to hack an enemy? I thought that was for terminals only. None of the terminals I've seen seem worth it so far, you get something fairly nice, like re-concealment, but the cost, as you said is essentially a lost mission if you fail. Very lop sided.

    XCOM 2

    Man, Gremlin's not ending your turn on use AND being remote controlled makes support healing/aid so much more effective. In EW I only ever used supports for smoke during fights, and to heal up after fights; I almost never healed mid fight, was almost never worth losing an extra shot especially...

    XCOM 2

    You'd go proving before GTS? I just began playing. You unlock proving from the autopsy, right? The GTS school is only a 7 day build, that extra squad member is pretty powerful, is it locked behind rank like in EW? (And the ability to push a rookie from Rook to SQ is also huge.) Also, I'm not...

    XCOM 2

    Yeah, troop levels mean more than anything, for sure. But lasers and the HP/defense of skeleton was extremely significant for me. The extra damage also means min roll kills for most of the month 2-3 enemies. The armor put me outside the range of most kills, even crits, and the defense is very...

    XCOM 2

    Really enjoyed this fan trailer, too. I beat C/I when it first came out. Went back a few weeks ago and finally beat I/I; man, shit is super unbalanced (Which they admit). But the first three months are essentially a roulette game, even playing perfectly and conservatively, if you get the...

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    As far as I know, it's very common. I do it. Most modern games are brought out to all three systems, so just grab an Xbox 360 or One controller (Most are now just USBs, at least my 360 is). Outputting to TV is simple, too. As others have said, if you want to really open up the library you...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I explained in the mod thread, it was my first post in 17 days in this thread. A single post attempting to STOP a derail, and push it to the GG thread. I never mentioned SJWs or anything to do with GG (Except to say to take it to thread, and I only said that because it was Anita, and how Tan is...

    Chaos, please infract yourself. (The irony is my post is the only one that didn't refer to SJWs, at all.) Your post is really bad. (I agree with you, btw, but apparently that sentiment is really bad.)

    Did you actually watch the review? I don't think you did, except for the first minute where she said she enjoyed it while she was watching it. She then calls the storyline regressive and conservative, and says the relationships, characters and a host of other elements had huge holes that were...

    10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

    For sure looks like Lord of the Flies bunker style "humans don't do well in enclosed spaces for very long" together film. Where one guy knows "the truth" and the other two believe him for a while but then want to see the world and think he might be bullshitting them. Going to guess...

    2016 Oscars

    I was thinking this as well, for sure visual effects, film editing. Miller should get the director nod, and the film should get cinematography as well, just for the technical achievement of shooting that beast--I can't even imagine how difficult that film must have been to rig up and capture.

    Yeah, really out of left field--fucking awesome though. I guess with Olyphant done with Justified and Ian Mcshane done with Ray Donovan, they have a big enough opening. Wonder if they will do two movies like the director originally wanted.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They are probably doing a lot of flash backs this season. I'm betting they were never going to do them until they realized HBO was going to dump money for the 8th season. So now they have 10 more hours they didn't expect. Hopefully that is the "filler", all the anecdotes and back story they...

    Former coworker contacted me, think I might be getting scammed.

    That wasn't the point. The point was she was literally involved in the kind of drama fosters the lack of trust and the kind of anon culture that is hostile to RL cred without a lot of evidence (Being a woman, wealthy, a doctor, a millionaire who fucks models ect). IE the Tits or GFTO culture...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    That's always been his thing. From what I gather, he likes having other directors do all the grunt work, while he comes in and does the effects and big scenes. He's been doing that since Empire, when he stopped directing to focus on ILM. That is his niche, it's where he shines, creating effects...

    Yeah, the languages, force abilities, combat skills. It's okay to toss out a few skills with "saying" and not showing; kind of. If I watch the originals, Luke fighting in a military (Rebel or otherwise) fighter formation because he knew how to shoot wamp rats was laughable bullshit (Really, what...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    That is what it felt like to me as well. Finn is very much someone pushed into the world and taking missteps. Rey felt more like The Long Kiss Goodnight, where she was someone who didn't remember that she had all these skills. There were clues seemed like they were strewn about, like "you can...
