    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    As far as I know, all the normal missions reset every 6 hours. "Clearing" them out isn't really a thing.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    I'm not what anyone would call a Trump fan, but the main thing with it is that almost nothing on this show about Trump has been funny. If I wanted depressing political commentary I'd watch a serious news shows - where are the lols ?

    The Secret Throne [Queen of Dreams 1] Peter F Hamilton - Two young sisters find that their father is actually an exiled prince of another land when he is kidnapped by political enemies and they have to rescue him for their evil clutches. This was basically Hamilton does Narnia. It's pretty much...

    The Shannara Chronicles

    On the one hand, the mediocrity of the first season hasn't really changed, on the other hand, they did double the number of hot young lesbians AND add a hot asian chick. Plus, at least it's not inhumans.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The 7.3 order hall changes were absolutely a buff to gold farming - the original 100 and 200 resource missions still spawn at the same rate, but you also get the new 400 and 500 resource missions as well, leading to roughly double the gold for triple the resources. I find actually logging in to...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Eh, I though the first two were pretty iffy, but I liked the third one. I'll agree the show is pretty much a 'fuck you' to the existing Star Trek aesthetic though - the captain is obviously a dangerous lunatic, which is nothing new for trek - Kirk was basically a menace to society - but he's...

    Rick and Morty

    I dunno why the complaints, sure it wasn't as good as the citadel episode, but that is a pretty gargantuan bar to reach. I mean, just make a list of 10 or so episodes of anything else that were funnier off the top of your head and consider if you'd call any of them mediocre ? I still snicker...

    The Gifted

    This was kinda predictable, but good fun still. Way better than inhumans. The elf look certainly works for that chick though. It was a bit weird seeing Amy Acker as the mom, kept thinking she looked too young to have 18 year old kids, even though I know she isn't.

    Marvel's The Inhumans

    You pick those two as the worst ? Really ? The princess's "acting" was almost physically painful. It wasn't the worst thing on TV, but if they were aiming for something to make Iron Fist look amazing in comparison, they certainly succeeded.

    Summer 2017 Anime Thread

    Nananchi's backstory didn't have much chance of being cheerful and uplifting did it ? That as a great ending to the series. I'd nominate Made in Abyss for best of the season personally.

    "... half the codes now, half after you finish" Was pretty funny too, caught me entirely by surprise where that went.

    Dungeon Defenders II

    So this came out of beta/early access a few weeks ago, and I gave it a whirl to see what they'd done with a 2 year beta. It's actually pretty solid now, they toned back a lot on the cash whoring - the only cash exclusive stuff now is skins for heroes and towers, although they have some crazy...

    Ash vs Evil Dead

    Eh? ED2 was absolutely a remake of ED1, I'm not sure how that would count as a rumor ? Also 10 years ? What ?

    Yawn. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy ? This was a painful contrast with this week's Rick and Morty.

    Rick and Morty

    Holy shit that was funny. I was worried the rest of the season wasn't going to live up to ep1, but apparently that was misplaced. Best use of a 'Nooooooo !' 2017. PSA : Watch for the end of the credits

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    The dude seems kind of cranky, but factually pretty much. There's more mission types beyond where he got to, so the limited variety is technically incorrect, but you need far more of them so it's kind of a wash.

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    In fairness, the base building part becomes vastly more important as the difficulty increases, particularly for those people who don't cough up real cash. The walls and traps also become proportionally much stronger with the various skill tree upgrades.

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    You are in the starter area, and you already bought a minimum of $60 worth of boxes - did you think they were just giving out those llamas to everyone ? ;p All high tier schematics and heroes are loot boxes only. The only way to get loot boxes is with premium currency. The only two ways to...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    Yeah, this. It's not "really" gambling because you can't actually win. The monetary value of virtual goods is a bit of a sticky problem for the legal system currently, exacerbated by bitcoin and it's like.

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    That's an ironic typo right there - it's true, it's not play to win ;p People are generally pointlessly argumentative about 'pay to win' as a term, with some people even a giant flashing button that literally says 'Insert credit card details and win the game ! Comes with free exclusive victory...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    It has the greediest to the cash grubbing P2W transaction model ( buy box, it might have something good in it, but probably not, why not buy 10 of them? surely you'll get something good ) and, as far as I can see, all the top gear/heros/schematics/followers are exclusive to pay to win boxes...

    Summer 2017 Anime Thread

    I think it's sort of poking fun at the original fate for basically just going for wilful blindness on King Arthur as a chick. Seriously, no-one even notices or mentions it. I'm not sure about the series though, the story and dialogue seem to be complete nonsense, although that may just be the...

    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    I found it a bit eh. I liked it, but found the comedy/serious balance a bit too far to comedy for my liking. Actions had pretty much no consequences, the one person that died was solely for comedic value (that was pretty funny though I admit) Your mileage may vary. Keaton owned his role...

    Doctor Who

    I'm pretty sure it's the Peter principle at work - Moffat was a fantastic writer, but got promoted beyond his competence when he got showrunner as well.

    The Mummy (2017)

    That's some gross exaggeration right there. It wasn't that bad - it had nice sets, decent action, and the plot wasn't complete nonsense. I agree that Russell Crowe was absolutely terrible though. I thought that they overexplained stuff as well - I prefer a bit of ambiguity in motivations...

    Lynch clearly has dark powers, given he got Deborah Ann Woll to get her tits out after she held out as the only clothed woman for 7 years of true blood.
