    Not really necessary. He spergs out and gets shawed on his own or rage quits every three to four months. You can practically set a clock by it.

    The Munsters

    The biggest hurdle any Munster Show faces is recasting Herman and Grandpa. Fred Gwyn and Al Lewis were amazingly good comedic actors who had already perfected working together in the Car 54 Series. I don't think there are any actors since that can replicate that dynamic, either individually or...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Morgott was stupidly easy for me, mainly because I had the shackle and had seen all of his bullshit before in the Margitt fight, but with an open arena this time. IF you are any kind of Sorcerer, you can just roll out of his AEs and burn him down in phase two after basically ignoring most of...

    Black Adam (2021)

    Black Adam is sort of like Dr Doom where he has a lot of "diplomatic immunity" shit he can pull out of his ass due to being the head of state of a country. Not sure if the movie will address Kandaq or not.

    Ms. Marvel

    It was decent for what it was. Went in with low expectations, but it was decently close to the source material and different enough from the standard Marvel formula to be interesting. Its definitely aimed at a younger audience and it had a strong Scott Pilgrim vibe I liked. It also didn't...

    3, Colorado Springs, so somewhat touristy. Skiers go there a lot. 4. My only personal interest is maybe moving the ever shrinking 401ks into a physical asset, as you said, because they retain value. My wife is doing this as some over arching plan to convince me to move out of TX to be closer...

    So my wife and I have been completely debt free for going on five years now (we charge things to a card and pay it off monthly to keep credit good), which makes me happy heading into the coming shitshow. But the wife wants to buy a fucking rental property in CO (we are in TX) near her sister...

    Yeah the big meta I see more and more of in the gankers has been dual Naginatas with a secondary status ash on both. Pretty nasty if they land a jump attack with the pair and Naginatas are really fast for a spear weapon, with both slash and pierce moves, so they can stack up the status really...

    Hora Loux is the last boss that gives a shit about bleeding and is not resistant to slash damage. And a few of the main bosses prior are basically ae rape fests with lots of resistances to bleed/slash (melenia being a notable exception), so you are in for some fun for sure. What daggers are...

    I thought the change to the upper area after FA more or less covers the entrance? Perhaps I am in error. In any case, there is a shit ton of stuff in the capital to be combed, but ideally you do most of that prior to the snow areas. I know from playing with the wife coop that they wont even...

    Depends on how badly you want a couple Dragon Sombers before taking on the last zone. I personally think Sewers (up to Frenzied Door), then Halig, then Farum Azul because it leaves you the most options to backtrack if you want. Once you unlock Farum Azul a lot of things become essentially...

    Meh short duration buff you have to farm for vs always good is not a decent balance, at least imo.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I will say the weapon selection, while vast, tends to gravitate people into a couple specific setups. A couple (Dual Wield stats cornhole weapon of choice, Rivers of Blood, Moonveil) are more PvP related because gankers, but even in PvE you eventually end up going a couple specific directions...

    NG+ exists in Souls games mostly for the sole purpose of letting people play around with the endgame toys in the early zones. The only time this has not been the case was DS2, which had a lot of extra invasions as well as altered boss fights and drops during NG+ cycles. The game is too fucking...

    Losing Interest

    I am just suggesting you take a real vacation while you have a lull. Dump the kids with grandparents or other relatives and go someplace nice. Get drunk and fuck like bunnies for a week or two. Clearly you need a shake up of some kind to the routine, but there are a lot of excuses being...

    Ok who is the young coworker piece of ass you are thinking about fucking behind your wife's back? Sort of kidding, but usually when a friend starts talking about being bored of life in their 30s its because there is some young thing they want to bang and its fucking with their heads. Rub a few...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Yeah and the video game industry is so incestuous that the same pack of gay locusts move on from one company to the next until they lose a round of shotgun kazoo or get promoted into positions like that chopper was to keep them away from the productive developers. See also Last of Us 2.

    The Orville

    Pretty solid episode, not sure I would use it for a season opener, but I enjoyed it. I liked the perspectives on AI "emotion" and different views on suicide. Its jarring how much more enjoyable this show is than any Nu-Trek.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Biggest issue with DA2 was it felt like a fucking video game, with the mobs warping in in waves. There was zero room for positioning strategy in that game like the first one had. DA:I had the same action emphasis issues, but at least the mobs didn't spawn in in waves like you were playing a...

    The FP on crit item is good if you are clearing caves where you know you can land a lot of backstabs or are a stud with the buckler. Otherwise, not so much. I am a pretty big fan of the turtle charm as having any amount of passive stamina regen boost can save your ass with a last second roll.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    I think this is the last project the Kathleen Kenedy Klan had major control over, and it shows in certain areas. I would bet money the Grand Inq getting merced was a specific fuck you to Filoni's continuity from that bitch. The more ridiculous Leia shit is definitely her influence (She is...

    The Boys

    Starr is killing it. And him shitting on the Deep is enough to justify anything else the show does. Also, LOL at the over the top diversity park. But the best scene was Homelander and Butcher talking about how they could both essentially retire, but how they both wanted to fight it out to the...

    The buffs are actually really good, once you get to the higher ones. Frenzied Flame spells are very strong, though not comparable to sorceries. The two biggest issues with Incantations is that they often require specific seals to shine and several of them require a secondary stat to be decent...

    If you have the cannon spell, the birdfarm is twice as fast if you just mortor the little goobers down the hill a couple times and reset. But yeah, I basically stopped rune farming myself. A good way to kill two birds with one stone is to backtrace stuff you missed or passed on in the snow...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    If you are an 80 int build, its one of the hardest hitting weapons in the game, bar none. And if you talisman up to boost sorceries, especially the Godrick one that pumps charged sorcs, you are doing really hard damage with the shot. Its not the best weapon, moveset wise, but the shot is...

    Also as someone going full frontal male nudity mage play, the difference between taking on those dogs as a sorcery caster and a melee is night and day. My wizard is naked except the cloth smock from Patches and a spellsword hat for the glintstone buff and spamming swift glintstone shard (night...

    Bleed is pretty prevalent on early daggers, especially the one that drops from the invasion in the river valley in the first area. The good PvPers I have been ganked by often use some combination of quick step and bleed. I know from expirimenting that dual weilding daggers is pretty damn...

    PS Rapiers are solid because they dont take much Dex investment and in the hands of an expert can do great damage without using lots of stamina. My current mage play I am using bucker plus rogiers rapier as my mele option, trying to git gud at parrying, but you could take any generic thrusting...

    Not sure how deep you are in, but Horned Bow is pretty easy to get early, but is more spread between Dex and Int. The Pully Bow is kind of tough to grab early, but scales very well with Dex and is the longest range non-greatbow in the game I believe. I used the Horn Bow with good results on my...

    Two shots at the Chicken Farm and you fan literally fill up on every type of arrow available to you. If you are heavily invested into Dex, Godskin Peeler, Rapier, and just about any Spear are good choices as a lighter backup mele weapon. Maybe whip, if you want to get fancy.

    Finally wrapped up my main playthrough (MLGS generalist build) and that last fight was bullshit, mostly due to the fucking first phase being such a twitch fest. Elden Beast was a total pussy, comparatively, and hit the deck pretty easily from MLGS shot spam. Basically powered through Godskin...

    SLC Punk (1998)

    The core theme is mainly of the main character realizing he has to grow up and join the real world, after trying to be this counter culture person the entire time. If you lived during the Mods and Punks era, it resonates much better. The main point of the ending is that the guy realizes he is...

    RIP Ray Liotta dead at age 67

    Dude was in several of my favorite movies and loved him in all the obscure shit he did. Observe and Report is one that sticks out in my memory, as does Revolver. But Goodfellas was obviously his masterpiece.

    Pretty sure that she is supposed to be the ex inquisition member from the game Fallen Order (which is apparently part of new cannon), which is probably how we are going to see her get the inevitable redemption arc in this series. The Inquisition guys have been around the EU for forever. If...

    If you went in as soon as possible with nothing but the pebble and starting staff as a newb (not a good grasp of dodging), rape will ensue. My first run I did with a halberd I bought and got my dick kicked in repeatedly. Second (Solo) game I started as a prisoner and cleared out the south...
