    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Turn on captions and look at his answer about WoW. The dude loves and cares more about WoW than most WoW devs probably do.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm fairly convinced Activision sees WoW's success/failure as a win/win. It probably doesnt make great margins compared to Hearthstone, but if it succeeds it's still profit. If WoW fails it's just a good excuse to cut people loose, or move them into other divisions (aka mobile gaming or some...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    FF on Nes was the first for me, but 6, 4, 7 are my faves with 6 being first. Kefka also had the best boss music, with one of the best covers. (Guitar solo at the end around 8:00 is amazeballs). As for FFXIV, I'm enjoying it more like a single player rpg. Story wise it's not bad, but the older...

    Maybe they can wave some cash in front of Bobby Kotick for some soon-to-be unused WoW servers, and promise to keep it on the downlow. Just slide that money into the next quarter's earnings call. Bobby can be all, "Hahaha oh WoW is fine! Look at all this money despite what you've been hearing...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Blizzard's company culture has been corrupted too far for anyone to come in and turn it around on the level Activision would allow. The classic tale of the Golden Goose: it lays one gold egg a day, but that's not enough for Actiblizz. They want all the eggs, and they want them now. So they...

    Which MOBA?

    I would pick HoTS or Dota2. LOL is middle ground that doesnt give you the immediate action HoTS, nor the satisfaction of Dota2 when you actually get good. I actually avoided a lot of toxicity in Dota2 by playing Single Draft. Chances are you aren't playing a hero you are good with, but neither...

    I can see the effect it has already. I joined 2 days ago and am an 11 lancer. Gridania is lively with people emoting and running around, but the actual chat is dead quiet. I cant use the Free Company command yet for some reason. Makes me miss Barrens chat (yeah it's a lot of dumb stuff, but you...

    Loki

    My biggest gripe is that Loki's power levels have changed drastically to fit the story. In the Avengers he got ragdolled by Hulk at the end and survived without permanent damage. In the beginning of the movie he tanked bullets and kicked a guard 20 feet through the air easily like Cap was doing...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Factions shouldn't even matter for new expansions. Players on both sides are privateering murder hobos against whatever the "cosmic threat of the year" is. Just let Alliance and Horde players group up and communicate in expansion areas. Just like the Commonlands in EQ; the evil races went to...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Almost everyone is pretty in our media and marketing in our society because that's what sells, and that's what people are attracted to. All the research shows this; when they try to put "normal" looking people in commercials, it doesn't work. Even people that say, "Well I don't care what they...

    The E3 2021 Thread

    I wasnt expecting much but the Advance Wars reboot is crap. I've been waiting for them to do something with the series since Days of Ruin. Apparently people didn't like Days of Ruin because it was "too dark." Its a game involving war: grow a spine, bitches. So now it's back to happy commanders...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    They are reloading the disappointment cannon. They do a good job drafting this year so you say, "Huh, I guess they learned a thing or two. Looks like things are trending upward!" Then they have a fairly solid season where they win the division at 9-7, and get bounced by a 10-6 wildcard; not...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Post credit scene should be Dr. Doom breaking into the Raft and freeing Zemo. When Zemo asks why he should work for someone who absorbed most of a broken Sokovia, Doom simply states that the nation is gone, but the Sokovian people remain. They still need Zemo's help. Doom offers Zemo a transfer...

    Valentina de Fontaine or whatever acquired him some of the best vibranium welding alloy from Wakanda. It was blessed by the tech priests, who imbued it with supernatural strength by doing repeated chanting and pelvic thrusts around the sacred Forge of Bast before steeping it in the blood of...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Just Chargers things my friend. Decent coach + good team = injuries. Good team + easy schedule = dumb coach. Etc, etc. One day the stars will align in your favor. Even when they dont, you can still say, "At least I'm not the Raiders."

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Finally finished Kingmaker as a celestial sorcerer. I didn't get the "true" ending, but I came pretty close. Started a Beneath the Stolen Lands run, and also tried restarting the main story, but man it's hard to pick something that isn't Sorcerer/Wizard. I think itll be the same for WoTR...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    He says a line in the movie near the end. Something like, "You think I want more superpowered freaks like you running around?" He used the winter soldiers as bait because he knew it was something Cap HAD to address taking care of.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Underdark was kind of divided like that, yeah. There was the Upperdark, Middledark, and Lowerdark. You could meet most anything in the Upperdark. Low level encounters could be myconids, duergar, derro, orcs, goblins, shriekers, piercers, stirges...probably a bunch of other low level dungeon...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I dont agree because Kingmaker's narrative stays on a more believable track founded by its source material than BG3 is. If you know D&D and joined a D&D game, the PC's being hired to clear out some bandits at level 1 is very believable. A journey through the Underdark and one of the layers of...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Ugh. One of the best things about BG was being new adventuring blood, wandering around seeing what trouble awaits you in the world. As someone who grew up playing 2nd Edition and Faerun, it also cheapens the setting by making dangerous locales like Avernus and the Underdark easy. "Many...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Welcome to high level PF1 play. The game devolves into rocket tag and hoping you have the right buffs. In PnP higher levels are a slog as casters get ridiculous. "I win initiative? I cast Maze on the Wizard." "The enemy cleric casts Gate, a familiar Marilith steps through from the portal...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I have played on Reddit's emulated server on and off for years now at /r/slashdiablo. You can 4 box and use map hacks. Drop rate is at players 8. Community is very friendly, usually 300 people at season start and 100 by the end each night. The only thing you can't do is botting. So besides...

    I'm planning on it, but I haven't played WotR beta. It remains to be seen if they will tweak some things. Heavy armor tanks in Kingmaker are generally worse than DEX based tanks because there are some modifiers that stack that shouldn't, some that should but don't, etc. Will they fix that stuff...

    When you get to Pathfinder: Kingmaker, make this build: I chose a sorcerer, but the linked Slayer build is more than just shooting arrows out like Hawkeye and pincushioning nearly everything to death. It also has trapfinding, lockpicking, and persuasion, so you dont have to worry about...

    Night Fae campaign was alright until they made me go rescue Night Elf souls in the Maw, and tried to make it feel like I was sorry for committing war crimes. Screw that. I didn't burn you alive in your dumb tree, only to rescue your souls later. Eat shit Night Elves. Nobody likes you.

    He's a good player surrounded by a good coach and an organization that drafts well. But his accuracy and making quick reads is what really hurts him. Yeah he has a 64% comp percentage, but when you run around for 6 seconds until a receiver is 5 yards wide open because coverage breaks down...

    Its even crazier than that. I dont know what Kyrian followers look like, but for Night Fae Te'Zan hits all melee enemies every 3 rounds for about 300 at 30. Chalkyth hits all melee every 4 rounds with a 3 round dot that does about 180 total. I have one guy who has an arcane blast ability every...

    Lore reasons obviously. Kyrian just ferry souls around, and Venthyr are shrinks for psychopaths. Night Fae have to fight dangerous beasts, and Necrolords fight all the time.

    Yeah today sucked, but this team turned around faster than anyone anticipated. I really thought 8-8 was our ceiling at the beginning. I'd rather the Colts win. The 7 seed has to play Buffalo in the Wildcard round next week, and I dont see anything Miami can do in a rematch next week. Colts...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Great weekend to be a Dolphins fan. Moved up to the 5 seed thanks to the Colts and Browns losing. Even if Miami loses to Buffalo next week (very likely unless Buffalo rests starters), they still get in if any one of the Colts, Ravens, or Browns loses. Also Houston lost and we have their 1st...
