I finally got around to episode eight and it's just bizarre. I have no idea why we did an Idiocracy + Final Destination homage to close out New Vegas. There's some alright stuff in here and it's nice to get to spend some more time with Lloyd but could we take all the money spent on this Vegas...

Spoiler for real about Randal Flagg, Dark Tower, etc.

Lloyd turning on Flagg sounds like a poor change to make. In the book you grow to feel some sympathy for him despite his introduction with Poke in a robbery gone bad. There's a decent amount of time devoted to him alone in prison starving to death and remembering his past. When he's rescued by...

I am surprised every single time someone takes the time to sell me something for a single Alchemy and disappointed when dozens of messages fail to get a response when I'm trying to buy something for a dozen Chaos.

The video game adaptations are great though! That's where you can take all your bullshit ruleslawyering minmaxing bug abusing assholery and just fucking kill every single thing that is even possible to be killed as you murder hobo your way through every town and city in search of bigger numbers...

Sounds exactly like the kind of emergent gameplay that gets the piss stomped out of it by Blizzard.

I cannot stand how this show uses pop songs to shortcut having to actually tell a story. I PUT A SPELL ON YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE MINE /gag

Don't make an OK symbol when you're out on bail.

Fire and Blood was bad.

I've always thought that the choice between Mother Abigail's selfish old testament god and a creature of destruction doomed to fail in his attempt to create was a stupid fucking choice. If I am to take these two sides and their representatives seriously than fuck all that noise you can catch me...

I don't know how the show pulls it off but it feels both it manages to feel rushed while almost nothing happens. We just didn't spend any time hanging out with the characters and getting to know them so we've got no investment. The only one with an actual arc is Harold and he managed to come off...

Alright, so what do I do at the start of mapping? The farthest I've ever gotten was killing Sirus at the lower awakening levels during Delirum before packing it up. I had a couple characters get to like tier 7 or 8 maps in different leagues and every time, this time included, it feels like I'm...

Speaking as a trash so weigh my opinions appropriately but so far this is the primary thing I don't like. Early on I was deferring this unique wand, the first thing I deferred period, thinking I'd get it pretty quick. My understanding was that it would function like a crooked layaway but I had...

As a super casual I'm liking it so far. They sometimes spawn in bad locations which makes the mechanics annoying and the tribute small but other than that they've got a lot going on.

It's still working through the initial launch queue. I was 12000 (got in line an hour and a half early or so) and am down to 2600.

Flame Wall has good aesthetics! It also makes a nice roaring fire sound.

Is there some favorable interaction with the Elementalist's Primal Aegis maybe?

The part where everyone is dead and everything is off or broken is just sped through so fast you can't even really tell there was ever even a pandemic. Getting the power back on is a big deal except it's not. Cleaning everything up and establishing order is a ton of work except its not. Everyone...

Flagg as a symbol of the pre-flu Ronald Regan American would have been so much better though. Mandated nine hour workdays, the death penalty for drug use and loyalty oaths. Las Vegas is clean and drug free. The power is back on. Order has been restored...BUT AT WHAT COST. This is just like...

Was getting a little better (still bad) but episode five is just terrible. I miss the Randall Flagg that crucified people for drug use. Instead we've got one that is remaking Las Vegas in to Sodom for some unknown reason.

So part of the reason that the server was complete ass is that Daybreak had a thing running in the background that was checking for cheaters and boxers and such. I guess p99 uses something similar? The way they had it initially configured it scanned all the shit it could scan each time you...

Some of Aradune was self-inflicted. Let's hope they don't turn on their "scan all yo shit each time you zone" cheat catcher during a launch ever again. What a fucking mess.

It's one of those sequels that (whether by accident or not) is a complete parody of the first film or the franchise as a whole. Sometimes that can work but not in this case.

Now you can watch Escape from LA! Don't watch Escape from LA.

So it's...better then right?

Does anyone know if the Occultist's "15% more cold damage" on Frigid Wake is mechanically different than the same amount of "increased cold damage"?

Yeah, I definitely remember the Gruul pulls with a zillion things up.

I think I remember that being that way at the start and then an early patch doing the guardian/battle thing?

Isn't TBC where they introduce the guardian elixir/battle elixir/flask takes up both slots?

Space goats and arena!

The best part of not knowing any better is that you don't know better.

I started this up yesterday and am mindlessly following the instructions every step of the way. I have to say it just works. I'm a noob so my opinion isn't worth a hunk of spit but everything just smoothly comes together from level to level as you run around in rags.

Could someone explain Triality a little if they have a bead on it?

Typically you can buy a mount but they are not the fastest possible. A few times in the past you've been able to buy something completely ridiculous.

I just can't get enough space goats.

I just think it's amusing that Macready always lives in the weird offshoots. Thinking about it more maybe one of the comics is alright?

Macready survives in every comic sequel and the video game. Childs is a Thing in at least one comic. None of them are worth anyone's time.

No problem, TBC isn't Classic and we already experimented with hashtagnochanges. Bring on the reasonable changes.

The John Carpenter film is far, far more faithul to the novella "Who Goes There" (which is very good in its own right) than The Thing From Another World. If you like John Carpenter's version give the book a try. A few years ago someone wrote a short story from the perspective of The Thing...
