I finished Fire and Blood, the history book that George RR Martin put out last year. I like A Song of Ice and Fire quite a bit, I reread all the books last year, and I like the show. Fire and Blood was competently written but it was just not interesting to me at all. There's a couple very small...

In the late 1990s there was an animated sequel to The Real Ghostbusters cartoon show called Extreme Ghostbusters. It had a bit of a multi-cultural pals cast with a Black guy, Latino, goth girl, and disabled person but it was never to the show's detriment. The basic story was that paranormal...

Anyone say bananas yet? Bananas are a goddamn bargain.

There's another way of looking at it. Without a decent F2P ecosystem the whales don't have as many people to to leverage their wallet against. If they can't leverage their wallet they'll move on to something else. A fair model in a decent game that provides the pauper with a reasonable shot at...

Maybe some of the suits were finally convinced that this F2P stuff can bring in gigantic piles of cash if you stop being cunts about your model.

The set has a lot of cards that are hard to assess in a vacuum but good things at attractive costs. Pteramander could be good? Mass Manipulation is cheaper than that effect usually is. Is that enough? Sphinx of Foresight is another pregame effect. Is that a tipping point? Is the effect powerful...

"When you fill up on bread"

I started back up as I wanted to see the Alliance side of things. The leveling changes combined with the 30% exp bonus for turning on warmode as Alliance mostly fix my prior complaints on the subject. The paladin I'm leveling now is going just about as quick as the one I leveled years ago during...

If they weren't going to do anything else with that concept than there wasn't any reason to introduce it. You could have done something where the crazies have cell phone footage of the things and that's one of the ways that it spreads. Someone uploaded some video and it got linked on 4Chan and...

When I first saw that I was convinced that the medical droid was going to kill her. There was going to be a close up on the droid's instrument arm, a tiny blade would appear, and a small yet lethal incision made. Oh no, I can't stop the bleeding I caused! Danger Will Robinson, danger! Not only...

I ended up seeing Unbreakable as part of some big family thing and everyone thought it was terrible except me. If you guys saying it's alright that'll be enough for me to go buy a ticket.

Game is very good solo or with a friend, don't worry about it if it is just you.

As a kid Old Yeller and Dumbo beat me up pretty bad. That scene in Dumbo where his mother is chained up and she'd cradling him as sad music plays, oof. I expect to never watch that film start to finish ever again. I remember renting Old Yeller a few times when I was 6 or 7 and somehow forgetting...

You could make it super modular and allow the trading of individual characters between players, max level characters as their own in-game currency. On a raid you could treat all the characters brought along as a combined pool and then dole out control as part of the organizing. When a starting...

To me it just feels like a natural extension and evolution of the genre. I think raid content could be really cool if it was you and a couple friends trying to assemble the optimal 25 character force with each of you piloting five. Between class choice, gear, talent/specialization type stuff...

I know the genre isn't really going much of anywhere but I think that a MMO that was mostly traditional but left you responsible for 1-5 characters could be a real step forward. Nothing too crazy on the classes, some automation with the ability to switch quickly and seamlessly from character to...

This is how I feel every time I read about how other people set up their keys and position their hands -

When Jon changes his mind

4 and 5 feel bad to press and that tiny discomfort adds up

Yeah, that's also my experience. Just never enter a lab once it rotates to one.

I wrecked the game for myself pretty hard last tier when I completed heroic Uldir a few times as a scab healer. The only parts of the game that you (mostly) cannot access through the activity lobby are mythic raids and the competitive side of PvP. I don't want to slam my dick in the door that is...

I have fond memories of treating North and South Qeynos like a Quake server. You'd wander by the docks, see a level one caster scribing their newbie spells, and the first chop for 21 would render them unconscious. Good luck getting by without Minor Shielding and welcome to Rallos Zek. I...

That period of time from like minute 10 to minute 50 is boring. People just having conversations in sign language and I can't read sign language so I have to sorta guess? I figured out what I didn't like about it specifically - it put the aliens over too strong. Having the newspaper clippings...

Probably losses combined with and some "unrealized profits" when different products underperformed or deals canceled. It's not quite the same but it probably feels the same.

I honestly thought Super Dave was an actual stuntman who sounded the way he did because of sustained injuries. I put together that impression as a kid mixing together the skits and Evel Knievel and somehow managed to carry it forward for like thirty years.

It's like wanting to get a rat for a pet and settling on one you see escaping a plague barge burning at anchor.

I know it died a death over the controversy regarding his preference for yanking it with an audience but his film "I Love You, Daddy" is pretty good.

Sorta but not really? When he says every possessed cultist is white that's accurate. Every cultist in the film is white. The character of Tom (who I do like) is without flaws and is paired with out basic single mother protagonist and we're shown multiple times how great they are together and how...

I went and watched A Quiet Place as I was now curious and while it is expertly crafted I didn't like it all that much. Having everyone use sign language combined with a minimalist score made things boring quickly. Loots good, acting is good, film is only like 90 minutes which is good, it's just...

As a very inexperienced player the Syndicate has been a source of frustration through most of the league. I can't get through the larger forts at all (can't get the doors down, when I do the clouds don't go away anymore, the dudes themselves are murder), I can't complete a lab under time, and I...

Can't really say he's wrong about much.

Fuck yeah three grand! Bye bye account!

The card the illusion comes from, unredeemed, has some auctions on eBay from 100 to 150.

A movie comes out on a platform that requires nothing more than clicking a play button. People watch it when no expectations or expectations that it will be terrible and the film exceeds those bare-bones expectations. Those people give it some kind of recommendation. That sets the bar too high...

I'm having flashbacks to the series finale of Enterprise

I look forward to leaving them in a syndicate lab for years to come. Goddamn fun police.

I have not seen any of the new Star Wars films and do not plan to do so.
