You know the 'more likely than not' threshold for at least one occurrence of a 2% chance is 35 cases right ? That takes an awful lot of handwaving about uneven distribution.

Assuming 2% is correct, I think there' something wrong with your math there, because that conclusion is batshit crazy unless you live in a cabin in the woods and have never been to school.

I don't think I can get over the level squish to be honest. Intellectually I realise that it doesn't make any practical difference, but the thing with rpgs, even MMORPGs is that the illusions matter - heroic strike can be literally exactly the same thing as 'sword attack one', but it's just...

Yeah, apple might have more money as a whole, but they weak-ass launch lineup suggests pretty strongly how seriously they are taking it. I don't think they'll be prepared to lose shitloads of money even if they can afford it.

This corrupted gear stuff is stupid bullshit.

I've liked this one so far. I wasn't expecting the speed of plot development though, was expecting 'woo-woo mystery wooo' to be strung out endlessly, was pleasantly surprised. Still, I feel bad for social services though - it's not like they get portrayed in a positive light very often in TV...

This seemed decent, although the overview listed above seems to be entirely unrelated to the first episode ?

I think it's one of the benefits of the rise in self-publishing - traditional publishing pretty much required thousands of books to be sold to be even worth bothering, meaning there was a big focus on broader appeal - kind of like movies are now. If you had a book that really appealed to a group...

It was about what I'd expected. CW style action and CW style pointless drama. Her behavior would make a lot more sense if she was 15, having a grown woman act like a pouty teenager ( I hate you dad ! ) looks kind of silly, especially given she is being unreasonable. Dad does not give you a...

This was slow, boring, cliched and patronizing. Apparently the Joker is just a sad puppy who wants to be loved, but can't trust anyone anymore. I regret watching it instead of, say, doing washing.

Middlegame - Seanen McGuire A young boy and girl on opposite sides of America discover that they have a strange telepathic connection, and seem to somehow complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. It turns out they are the subject of a secret experiment by a cabal of alchemists, and...

Wait, what ?

I liked it, trippy shit. Main character obviously hasn't watched Legion.

YA is a pretty wide category these days - 'anything but porn' seems to be the general definition.

He just got there, so presumably he brought it with him. Makes sense for him to be funding an inventor.

I had to check this... for Science ! ;p

Vignette *thinks* she's a badass, but yeah, no ;p

I'd suggest the 1star review is from someone who hasn't seen it, but is rustled that people don't take their SJW ranting seriously enough and it might be some huge trap where they will watch it and come out as a gay liberal. Which is all kind of beside the point, because the show is about as...

Some thoughts on Vanguard guys Trooper - great standard soldier guy, overwatch, good health, good range and great scaling with cheap mods. One of the better t1 units. PUG - great support, although not so much for the vanguard troops themselves, but more for commanders. Resupply charge allows...

You ask this after an episode where dozens of flying fae get machine-gunned by zeppelins ? ;p It's fair that they'd never catch them all, but then again, that's why they are still fighting 7 years later.

Thumbs up from me after watching all of it. Great setting, very high production values and an interesting story that was pretty twisty without being implausibly so. Obviously going after Game of Thrones market. Also Philo is an idiot - of all the people to take relationship advice from, he...

This will probably be terrible, but even so, Arnie shooting that guy in the face was pretty awesome.

Take the ex-wife approach, they can't take it if you already spent it ;p

I will definitely check it out, but I have all the endless games, and while I couldn't point to any particular faults, none of them have really grabbed me. They just seemed to be missing something. And it's true, civ4 is best civ, although I chalk that up to FFH2.

Ah but see, the super laser is actually a lie, and they don't have one - the entire crew was carefully picked so that when the aliens inevitably kill them it will give the government lots of photogenic minorities to rally up the weak-stomached liberals to get their declaration of war passed ;p

Autonoms are so awesome. Most T4 units don't work that well unsupported, but network controllers are the whole package. Their summons are decent by themselves ( low level autonoms ) but once their summons get level 3 networking and shield projection even the weakest becomes a strong unit by...

I don't think it's ever stated. We do know that Rand and the Andoran royals are white as fuck though, and that's distinctive enough to make the Cairheinin spymaster remark on the resemblance. The cover artist certainly assumed they were all white though, but he also assumed the Aiel were all...

Wait, what, aren't you the person that posted the leaderboard that shows the highest ranked non-rogue team took more than 20 minutes longer to clear freehold than the #1 place ?

Everything they needed to know about space, the writers learned from the revered historical documentary, Galaxy Quest. "Is there AIR here ? Can we BREATHE ?!!? YOU DON'T KNOW !!!"

Played through the tutorial before work. Good stuff. I felt bad for the bugs though - they give you an absolutely overwhelming force - if you fail the tutorial you should feel bad. Took entirely too long designing the appearance for my campaign character, out of time 8(.

Just finished up s2, fucking Hanna, she's the real villain ;p

I mean expecting you to have cutting edge while using no addons or weakauras is probably a bit much, but you can point to at least one person, worldwide, who has done that right ? It's easy, so surely someone's done it, if just for bragging rights yeah ?

Empress of Forever – Max Gladstone An unconventional tech billionaire, feeling the government closing in, goes on the run and embarks on a desperate plan to insert a trojan into large amounts of internet traffic that will create the largest botnet the world has ever seen, and the botnet nodes...

Then porn would get a lot more boring ? ;p I watched the first episode of this - it's pretty ehhh, but it works as something to have in background when gaming I guess. It might be me not paying attention, but the setup seems to make no sense ? The ship is presumably military, given the...

Looks boring, unambitious and flip-floppy enough to be legit.

Yeah, I liked the pilot. Wasn't amazing, but shows good potential.

Yeah I'd give a thumbs up to that series, fun entertainment in the 'overpowered tough guy beats up the world' genre. I was kind of amused by the first book in that the main character is played as a tough badass but he's actually the chick from twilight, right down to the hilariously...

I finally got around to finishing this series off. Most of the shows were blah, I'll admit I snickered some at the last episode though, in context of this thread.
