In random good timing I just finished reading Renegade by Joel Shepard last week. That was very much in that line with that and I thought it was pretty good. Probably the biggest writer in that space is David Weber's Honor Harrington series, sometimes referred to as exploding spaceship porn...

Staveley btw, for people having trouble finding it.

There's no gravity, you can't generate thrust?! This is not exactly what you would call a show with a lot of thought put into it, but that was so wrong on so many levels it hurts my brain.

I liked the book enough to read the sequels, but I thought the show was much better.

There was much lol in this episode. 'High King? That... makes a certain kind of sense'

Clark has spent like 75% of the series bleeding from the face or head. The black blood is something like nano bots, they had a bunch of tubes of it in the commander's briefcase, but didn't show if they are still there in present time. ( it was filled with cloth, couldn't tell what was in...

Eh, it made even less sense in the show than in the book. Listening to crazy hallucination guy about how it's impossible to change the past immediately after conclusively proving that you can makes no sense at all.

Tastes vary, but I would say no. A huge percentage of the second book is tea parties. No, seriously, literally tea parties.

This movie was pretty awful. 6/10 for a comic book fan maybe. The best action was the flashback to man of steel. After that it's just a 2 hour long drag of emo moping, repeated slow motion dream sequences and ominous music until the climactic muppet fight. The ending was particularly...

The implication there was that Axe got him to do an obvious illegal trade solely so they'd pick him up and try to turn him. Note he wasn't particularly upset or surprised to be have the police raid his house in the middle of the night.

Random nitpick - she's just going to leave the kid's lunch out on the bench overnight ?!

Well you can't say they don't respond to feedback hey 8)

In pve ? Nothing. For draft pvp ? The cost of the draft ( $1 + 3 packs which you effectively keep ) For constructed pvp ? Cheapest one I have seen with any success is about $24. It has the general open market problem of supply and demand though - when someone has good success with a cheap...

Maybe - the original commander presumably didn't before she started injected herself, and they did linger for a while on the suspiciously convenient briefcase, with all it's spare vials of nano-goop.

A factor of 10 doesn't look to match up there - taking a look at TSM accounting, I've made 10,278/day for the last 30 days from garrison and shipyard, with once a week AH stocking of all the BOE crap that comes from missions plus garrison resource overflow adding another 14,339/day. I can't...

From level 1 ? Prot. Queue times are super fast and dungeon XP is through the roof. From 90? Whatever is fun for you really. Kill speed doesn't make a lot of difference in the wod content.

Having actually seen a few switches like that, I'm going to suggest the most likely explanation is that it's connected to an ancient desktop PC running some custom software/spreadsheet that some guy who left a decade ago made. No-one has any idea how it works or how to reproduce it, and they are...

Depends which one. If it was pro player, dungeon crawler or collector I would be surprised if you got less than double the ks backer amount you paid for just the account. Raid leader and guild master I would wait a year or two, they will probably be similar then. Any of the lower tiers, it...

Ethereal Healer with gear is pretty epic too - 2/3 lifedrain, gear gives it a 5% chance to go into play from hand, deck or crypt whenever you gain life - it also heals you for 1 at the start of the game, so it can put itself into play on your opponents turn before they play anything ;p

You know, that actually sounds pretty fun; obi wan and anakin buddy cop movie probably would have been a lot better than the phantom menace. And if it was a good buddy cop movie, then yeah, it's unlikely people would have any more respect for the 'but it's not REAL star wars' whining.

The slaughtergear cards are an extremely rare reward for spending gold on rolling chests. The reaver and replicator are total powerhouses, and the core of most of the best arena farming decks, which is why the crazy prices. Arena is probably more gold/hour than campaign, so good for farming I...

Yes, it is. Finally 8) It is arguably more fun to play the pve part like that rather than dumping a few years worth of rare and legendary cards into a deck and then face rolling it.

Not really, the fixed race rewards are all in the first bit of the campaign. You can get a new character through it in an hour or so. Doing the full campaign with a new character gets you a pile of stuff though, there's heaps of az1 packs as rewards and you get double dungeon packs the first...

I'd hold off some in any case - heirlooms were drastically less useful in WoD due to the low level requirement on the crafted gear.

Yeah, every race has three unique cards they get from quests in the adventure zone. The first for completing the tutorial dungeon, the second for reaching the main ardent/underworld city, the third for defeating the dryad and crossing the second bridge. They vary in effectiveness, a few...

That's one way you can do it, still needs some luck given you have to play at least 5 shards which means you can get screwed by the flamethrowers. I used a scourgecrag witch on my warrior (sucks up Queen's resources and uses then to buff herself to super strength), and a single righteous...

There is ;p

The biggest abuse of warrior affinity is for dwarf warriors - battling a champion stuns them, meaning they get no resources back the next turn. It also prevents them from playing any new shards, which might be a bug, hasn't been confirmed. Currently though, get some good charge generation going...

The ring missions won't show up unless you have unlocked the ghost crew ship equipment ( spyglass ) - have to get it off the cursed captain in tanaan, and it's not a 100% drop. I don't think you actually have to put it on a ship, but that might be worth trying if you have it and haven't done so...

Eh, obviously he doesn't, given there aren't thousands of him.

The show is hitting all my buttons for stupidity in dealing with things that are 'immortal' via healing. 'Oh no, he can't die, let's just leave his body here to heal back up ?' Even with conventional means, dismembering them and separating the parts, sealing them in concrete and dropping them...

Ouch, that burn is so harsh that Chris Carter's grandchildren felt it.

Yeah, for the three episode roundup, I've dropped all the new shows except erased and dimension w. ( Only seen 2 ajin so far, but probably stick with that one unless it gets real bad real fast ). Gate remains good.

Jesus Christ, don't take 60 gnomes through the middle path ;p

Chests are pretty much a trap, don't spend gold on them if you want to build up a deck. Absolutely don't roll legendary chests unless you are really desperate for the exclusive primal sleeves. Boring as it is, the best way of building a deck is probably selling your boosters on the AH and...

This x100. 20 shards is for a hyper focused mono color aggro deck that has no 3+ drops.

The lag seems mostly sorted now, and I've been very happy with the pve lineup so far. It's got a good mix of stuff, difficulty is kind of low, but it is the newbie levels (1-9) so that's to be expected. Shin'hare follow the proud tradition of sucking in every way though, play shin'hare mage...

Lol Amos. "I kinda wanna blast it."

Duchovny is clearly all out of fucks to give. I don't blame him, that script was worse than heroes reborn.

I've been mucking around with alts lately, and need some advice from people that play locks or spriests. How the hell do you do targetting for multi-dotting stuff ? 'Target closest' action for tab seems to be completely broken - it won't target anything which is at the optimal range for...
