    Played Pandemic Legacy and cannot grudge it's spot at #1 on Boardgame Geek. Browse Board Games | BoardGameGeek Scrolled back a bit in the thread. Anyone try Scythe yet? Holy fuck. So well done. Not surprised its at #6 on BGG at all. Worker placement + MECHS. :eek:

    Titanfall 2

    Holy shit. I was happy getting under 30 secs. :eek: Here's how he does it. The skill-floor on this game isn't too bad but the skill-ceiling seems pretty damn high.

    Titanfall 2

    MP kills BF, COD, GoW, and Doom (IMHO obviously). Weapon feel and movement are just so good, even on console. If you like competitive multiplayer I don't see how you can go wrong with TF2. I'm on Xbox and Attrition games still near instant queue. Some of the more niche game modes will take a...

    Planescape Torment Kickstarter: A spiritual sequel to be set in Monte Cook's Numenera

    Yeah, I Kickstarted this, PoE, Wasteland 3, and all the Shadowruns but didn't touch any of them until multiple patches into release. No time to beta test these days. Battletech will probably be the only game I really this rule for.

    If you like RPGs at all, no reason no to do both Fallout 4 and Witcher 3.

    The Synthwave Thread

    These guys have a lot of vocal tracks. Very 80's pop sounding. Both their albums pretty good and are on Spotify.

    DOOM

    Best review I've seen of the game. Pretty much agree with all points. The vast majority of FPS single-player campaigns in the past ~10 years or so were a boring slog that I powered through "just to finish". A big recent exception is Titanfall 2 with extreme Half-Life vibes. But ... Halo, COD...

    Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius

    Currently run 2*Exdeath, Gilgamesh, Ramza, Cecil. Exdeath hits for 999+ Meteors even with fairly bad gear (I give games $20 once, and that will be it), so leveling my 4* and 5* Exdeaths now. Goal is: 4*Exdeaths and Luka which I just pulled. Although healing seems pretty pointless in Arena...

    I dunno. I tried DOTA and LOL and as soon as I started last-hitting I fall asleep. Worst mechanic ever. :eek:

    Clash Royale

    Did they ever add "concede" button to this game? The big problem was it was a chore to tank your rating. There is zero reason to be fighting at your "true skill rank" in this game unless you are a whale going for the top of the charts. In Clash of Clans you could do it easily. Not sure why they...

    The Metal Thread

    Been doing old school metal lately. Priest, Sabbath, etc. Pentagram is from the same era but never got as much recognition. Tracks from two different albums. Both albums pretty solid.

    DOOM

    Picked it up for $19.99 Steam sale. Must have game if you like FPS at all. Art is absolutely amazing. Never thought Id could iterate on "scary hallways" but damn, every square foot of this game is a work of art. Looks great and runs flawlessly 2560*1080 super wide res.

    Must Have Software

    If anyone uses Ghostery - its now on Microsoft Edge browser. I consider Ghostery must-have software since the web sucks balls without it, or something equivalent. Just to change things up I'm going Edge only for a few months since it finally has ad blocking extensions. Ghostery Download...

    Is response time even still and issue on modern LCDs? I remember like 8 years ago it was. We develop classrooms full of gaming/training systems at work and have used a dozen+ different LCDs in the past 5 years. TBH I havent seen a single one give any input lag or visual artifact. Its all...

    Yeah, for gaming it is excellent. Also, still not bad for work. Certainly better than 1920. I'm spoiled at work with two 1920*1200s though... but will be nice having only 1 set of monitor cables and speakers built in.

    Recent media issue I found, all the podcasts I listen to are liberal cucks, probably b/c

    Most of these don't do politics much and, if they do, it isn't whiny SJW bullshit: - Joe Rogan - Adam Corolla - Sam Harris If you want a good politics one, Rubin Report. He is one of the best interviews around IMHO.
