Anyone else having issues with the Pokéadvisor website? I can log in fine, but when I try to look at my Pokéman, it tells me the following "Pokemon could not be loaded. Try refreshing your character. It's also possible the Pokemon Go servers are down." Kind of annoying, I caught two 680+ CP...

Yeah I live in a pretty Pokéstop rich area, when I take the tram to the train station I can hit 31 Pokéstops on my 10 minute ride (yes, I counted). It's actually kind of stressful, one spot I can get to four that are all really tightly clustered, gotta move to get all 4 before I'm out of range...

Pretty sure the Pokéstops are random amounts, I still occasionally get 8+ things from them, it doesnt seem any more rare than it was before. Incidentally, something I learned today is you get double xp from a Pokéstop if it drops 6+ items.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how does listening to music stop you from playing po-go?

There are so many good fantasy series out there, why is it that people can't seem to write good sci-fi? I'm currently reading the Honor Harrington books, and while they're good time killers on my train ride, they're not great. I can think of ten fantasy series that I've really been sad when I...

The app just came out in Switzerland today, probably more countries too. Might explain the servers going down as the load more than likely increased a lot.

Yeah, the base game is totally fine, and I would recommend at least one play through of it. I personally put 100 hours in (kinda surprised it's that high but I probably went to bed with the game running a couple of times). I'm just not feeling like running another campaign, but I for sure...

I'm not sure what it is about XCOM 2, I just can't get into it like I did the original XCOM. I probably did about 10 full campaigns in the original, 4 vanilla ones then 6 or so long war campaigns. Granted I didnt finish all those long war ones, but I would be sitting there on a Saturday...

I don't know about Germany beating France so easily, the Germans have a LOT of players injured, France looked great against Iceland, and France did win the World Cup on home soil in 1998. I feel like Portugal will get past Wales, especially with Ramsey being suspended, but the France vs. Germany...

While far from being new, I'm quite enjoying Peter F. Hamilton's books, the reality dysfunction series and the one with the second book called Judas Unchained. I'm pretty sure I heard about them in this thread, but if you haven't read those I would recommend them.

I'd say that's a prety accurate description from what I saw watching the Lets Play. More towards the EU4 side of things than the Stellaris side, but that just may be the fact that it's based on historical earth giving me that feeling. Someone who has actually played HoI before could probably...

As this will be my first HoI game, I really have no idea if Quill is bad or not, as I don't know the game at all myself. As to the difficulty, I'm pretty sure he's not playing on the hardest level, and Paradox games aren't all that difficult once you know how to play them. That's the true...

Game is coming out on Monday, Let's Plays are starting to pop up on Youtube from the usual Paradox suspects (Quill18, Enter Elysium, etc.) I've watched the first six or so episodes of Quill's Italy playthrough, the game looks pretty good. I've never played any of the previous Hearts of Iron...

I heard it will release at 19:00 CET, Paradox will do a stream starting around 13:00 CET then push the go live button on stream at 19:00.

I feel the same way Khalid, I am 100% behind the premise, these kind of "post-apocalyptic" settings appeal to me so much and this one is well crafted. It's in the execution that the author sometimes falls a bit short. I think I'm a bit more willing to overlook these shortcomings than you are, as...

Yeah, the Island in the Sea of Time is like a prequel, but I think the Nantucket island from our world ended up somewhere else, on a different world. My basis for this reasoning is that in the prequel books, they are able to make steam engines work, gas powered vehicles still work, and gunpowder...

If you want to play magic but have no friends who play and don't want to deal with going to a LGS, the best option would be to play online. The client isn't the greatest, and the digital cards often have very different values than the paper ones, but overall it's not a bad experience. It's also...

As Khorum mentioned, the second half of the book is very different from the first half, I think it's worth slogging through.

Just picked up the first book, Island in the Sea of Time, really enjoying it so far, thanks for the recommendation and a seconding of it from me.

So I've tried a few times to do honestman campaigns, meaning play as if in ironman, but without setting the game to ironman. I always end up having something happen that I deem to be "bullshit" and reload the game. 99% of the time, the bullshit happened due to my stupidity or impatience, such as...

I really hate those protect the device guerilla ops, the hack and vip escort ones are so much better. Unless the dark event associated with the protect the device mission is one I MUST prevent, I avoid those missions like the plague.

I believe how this works is say your soldier can move 21 tiles in a turn, when you full dash you can go all 21 tiles, but if you blue move first, it rounds the 10.5 down to 10, then you get another 10 tile move with your yellow move, resulting in only 20 tiles covered instead of the 21.

Just got what might be the most fun/OP thing I've ever had in XCOM. My best sharpshooter leveled up to Major and got shredder ammo as an AWC extra perk when she leveled up. Next mission I went on, I had a double activation, each pod was a mech, an advent officer and stun lancer. I pulled...

One thing I am wondering about for Psi-ops is the stasis shield ability. The one that makes one of your teammates immune to damage but unable to move or take actions for a turn. Will the aliens just ignore that soldier? Or will they continue to attack it despite the fact that they can't damage...

I've finished Seveneves now, it was very enjoyable, but I am more than a little annoyed at the ending. He left it wide open for a sequel, there was very little resolution, so I went online to go see when the next book was planned for, and found out he doesn't have any concrete plans to write...

Hey Tort, thanks for the recommendation here, I had read another of this guys books, can't remember the name right now but I remembered liking it. I'm only about a thrid of the way into the book right now but it's been a great time killer on my daily train commute.

Yeah, Ingram had revenues of 46B last year, safe to say they're pretty large. You're right in that they won't want separate accounting systems, but their billing manager was in our office and based on her observations it won't be a simple matter of loading up a new module in SAP to integrate our...

Interesting week for me at work. Get an e-mail on Sunday that I need to be in Munich for a meeting on Monday. I work in Switzerland so it's not that far. I head up there, and find out that the mid-size software firm I work for is splitting into four business units, basically four separate...

Despite the recent revamp, the client is still awful. The trading message board is terrible too. Other than that it's ideal.

Will be interesting to see if Price can get the postseason monkey off his back. Pretty crazy to consider that he's 2-7 in the playoffs with an ERA over 5, really seems like he can't handle the pressure. As a Jays fan I know I'm biased, but I would like to see a game 7. I don't know though, I...

Eh, my Flames have looked pretty terrible all around this year, might be wrong but that playoff run (if you can call advancing once a run) last year looks to have been a fluke.

I did a BFZ draft over the weekend, thought to myself I haven't played in a while, so lets take it easy with a swiss draft. Ended up going 0-3 anyways after drafting a R/W allies deck, had lots of opponents down to 2 or 3 life then some 8/10 eldrazi would hit the table and I would be out of gas...

Wow, impressive.

As I was mentioned further up on the page, thought I would give a further update. I had the procedure done in 1997 and my vision is still good to great, no need for correction at all. I have also experienced no complications, from major ones like health issues to even minor ones like haloing of...

The Blue Jays dropped two of three to the Red Sox at home this weekend, seems like no one wants to be top seed. If the Jays keep up like this there's a good chance the Yankees might catch us again.

Well, that didn't take long.http://m.mlb.com/news/article/149747...top-of-al-west They're still in good shape for the wildcard, but Minnesota is coming on hard.

The worst game for me for starting and not finishing has got to be EU IV. According to Steam I have over 800 hours into that game, I'm sure a portion of that is me leaving the game on overnight, or going afk for a while, but I can safely assume I've played about 600 hours of that game and I have...

And up 6-0 today against the Tigers in the 3rd, it's fun being a Jays fan right now.

As a Jays fan, let me try and feel bad for you and your 27 world series and unlimited budget.......nope can't do it. I'm at least as sick of the Yankees/Red Sox!

I like it, pointless analysis is the basis of much sports discussion!
