    FF8 is very polarizing. People either really like it (I liked it more than most) or hate it. If you are trying to avoid burnout, I would knock out FF8 early and save FF4 for when you need to play one of the better games to get back into the groove.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Maximum Overdrive is a guilty pleasure of schlock, in the same vein as The Last Dragon. I can think of several King based movies I liked less without even getting into the made for TV shit.

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    GW basically saw how much money the forge world 30k shit was making, saw how many marine armies are being passed around on Ebay like the local slut, and decided to make "more mariney marines!!!" to try to get in on that action. New 40k is not as bad as AoS and certainly not as bad as 7th, but...

    Phobia of flying...what to take?

    I used to have this issue (I had a fear if heights for a long time and never flew until my 30s), but the wife and I usually fly first class and I just slam some booze, put on the headset, and pass out to my tunes. If you have to fly coach, the rear of the plane is preferable (if you can deal...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah I noped out of the MP two patches ago when they both tripled the item pools and halved the rate at which you can acquire ultra rares. As someone who maxed their manifest in ME3MP, fuck that shit. I stopped playing MMOs because of excessive grinding and this was worse.

    RE: Armors in the end game: Since most of the later boss fights basically ignore evasion, the only reason I ever saw to use light armor was for raw HP. But even then, the loss of MDef and Defense was never worth it. I think I had three people in robes, Fran in Grand Armor, Balthier in...

    Yeah cleanse and the circlets are worth the effort. TK if you have not gone after Chaos, maybe. Everything else is better in Henne Mines with higher respawn. Pharos Basement has crappy reaspawn, but you can trigger chest pops simply by crossing the abundant doorways. The Pharos farm was by...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    As a liberal cuck, being cheated on is probably one of Potatoe3's fetishes. So he probably meant that question as a positive. I agree that trust is the only thing that counts and the moment you allow for doubt, shit is probably over anyhow. I don't shy away from noting that another woman is...

    And done with the game.... Fucking trophy bugged (I move between consoles in my bedroom and living room with saves) or Id have platted this, but like fuck if I am repeating the Yiazmat fight. I pooched the first attempt three hours in because it bugged and kept doing the double its level thing...

    He might only be around 4million. I got up to it and saw him and was gauging the bar drop against Hellwyrm (also in the trials), so I could be way off. Either way, it was taking far to long to gank him and at that point you are already hurting for consumables so bad that you know pretty fast...

    Cheated out of my youth

    This, especially one of the new ones with a freshly minted degree who still have their college whore mentality in place, which is why they are probably banging jailbait in the first place. Every single 20 something teacher at my HS got snapped up by the older single men who worked there...

    I liked Yield a lot, but Ten and Backspacer were both the 3-5 songs I like and a bunch of shit I skip for me. But I know I am in the minority on that. In addition to the songs you like, I really like All Those Yesterdays and I'm in Hiding a shit ton. Really, Red Blur is the only song I feel...

    Nailed Zodiark, but that's no accomplishment if you know the fight: Step 1- Mirror Mail + Scathe self gambit, Step 2- Phoenix Down + Pheasant Netsesukes, Step 3- Level to a prime number level, Step 4- ....., Step 5-Mist Chain right before the 20% Mark, Step 6- Profit! Probably goes from the...

    PS- if your party is tough enough to AFK in the Aldremech fight, you can set up gambits and AFK overnight in that battle and do the same thing as the Jelly farm.

    LP farming is mostly pointless, anyhow. I had my board maxed out halfway through the game back when everyone had the entire thing in PS2. The Mines in Bujena (sp?) have bridges where tons of skeletons spawn and you can grind up to crazy chain levels (think I had a 500 chain once?) and be...

    I would say, look at a cheat site on whats available and go from there. In all honesty, weapons are generally the bigger pain in the ass to farm in this game (Ribbons aside). In prior plays I dumped everything into Atak, except one each for the other guys, as this unlocks most of the uber...

    Thanks for the tip Vorph. I am going on knowledge from the PS2 game and they re-arranged a bunch of shit from where I am used to it being. The removal of key spells from the vendors in the end game is kind of frustrating, but I got the ones I mainly needed. Unfortunately it looks like if I...

    This is also true. The music industry was in sort of a second Disco era with all the overproduced industry spoon fed shit that MTV was enabling. You guys don't remember Disco, but I am sure you remember crap like C&C Music Factory, MC Hammer, and Back Street Boys somehow being top of the...

    If you like Ten (clearly their magnum opus), Yield and Backspacer are decent. Their other stuff is a little too off the rails for my tastes, though PJ Fanbois seem to jizz over whatever the album with the fucking sheep on the cover was. I like them and think they are a great band, but they are...

    Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

    The fact that someone had to put together a timeline for that means I am not the only one who noticed that. But underage Orientals banging giant robot pilots is as old as the genre itself, dating back to Min May. Maybe you guys will get some tentacle rape in the sequel. But your right...

    That's a really major pain in the ass quest that is basically entirely in Rabanastre. The process for getting it is obscure as shit, so if you don't feel like wandering all over town trying to figure it out, I suggest looking up "how to access the Chaos fight" in the faq. Chaos is a pretty big...

    To be fair, you can just grind up levels and beat the main game and even most of the hunts perfectly fine with just about anything (all machinist archer party would be the one that might be intolerably bad), but you are not going to beat some of the fights without some at least slightly...

    The best thing about Nirvana was that Cobain killed himself and everyone got to see that Grohl was all the talent behind that band. Foo Fighters are easily better than anything Nirvana accomplished and his contributions to Queens of the Stone Age produced one of the best records of the last...

    Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

    For being such a fan of the comic (which was culturally French and a throwback to old pulp era sci-fi serials of the early 20th century), Besson just completely fucked up in his attempt to use this IP. The characters are horribly miscast (Valarian is supposed to be an older he-man classic by...

    Like I said, not worth debating because there are plenty of other things wrong with that movie, both in and out of the context of its anime genre. But fwiw I believe they stated her age at the time of that incident in the movie and how long ago it was, which put her age below 18. Plus if that...

    Dude drinks like a fish and is a high functioning alcoholic by all accounts, so your seeing drunk face and the long terms effect of boozing.

    Once you get the better axes and armor, Fran starts rivaling the other DPS people. The random nature of Axes and lifting of the 10k damage cap make it a great option against high defense enemies and the one area where Fran dominates is the Vitality stat. That stat pumps axe and hammer damage...

    WM/BM is fairly terrible, due to the lack of swiftness and HP ranks in their boards. You end up with a slow casting piece of tissue paper. I strongly suggest pairing white mage up with either Samurai or Ninja/Hunter (Makes a ridiculously good tank) to get the most out of the class. Black...

    The exceptions to that are Fran makes a decent Gun or Axe class person and Vaan makes a top tier wizard. But generally, the whole woman nuke, man smack thing applies. Really, though, pairing a fast class with a slow class (total access to swiftness levels) is the main thing you need to concern...

    Where they screwed up was Idris's character rescuing her was when she was supposedly like three or something. But its not really worth discussing, since there is so much else to mock about that movie. Like I said, I will likely go see the second one, but if its another 2 hours of fighing in...

    Also Queen was about as apolitical as any band ever. They played a show in South Africa at the height of apartheid ffs. They had one song about gun control and another one about indians, but that was it. Pretty much every other mainstream band has had an opinion, though, since the 80s. And...
