    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I agree the apexis shit is pretty tedious, but if you get 3-4 good greasemonkey followers an alt shipyard become pretty self sustaining. If you bother to get revered hand of the prophet, the oil rig means you can spam ship missions as much as you want. There used to be no point, but after the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They didn't update the token it gives to the current tier of tokens, and they added a vendor that sells 645 upgrades for followers, so bunker is not very useful, and when your guys are capped, it's entirely useless. There's no really compelling replacement though - I've changed the chars I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You can make a hell of a lot more than that. 'Unknown' is the shipyard. No rare gold missions for today, 7/11 shipyards in full operating mode, 4/11 still re-rolling for dwarf ships ;p Low amount from AH because I am recovering garrison resources from re-tooling all the shipyards ( 100% of AH...

    Heroes Reborn

    It's debatable, but there's significant correlation between when Fuller left and when it started to go to shit.

    Winter 2016 Anime Thread

    I thought it was good, if not as good as the first, but I find the riding around on the outside of the giant robots to be kind of ridiculous. Sure they apparently have forcefield bubbles or something, but it looks absurd.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's fine, I brought them up as an example of that playstyle being fun to play. Balancing is something different - rift was probably a good spot for them; if their healing is equal in every way there's no reason to bring any other healer. This is more of a problem for WoW because being able to...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm more optimistic on that front - rift choloromancer and vanguard blood mage both played similar to how they are aiming discipline, and it was a great, fun, playstyle. I think the biggest danger there though is the right in your face obvious one - if discipline is equal to other healers in...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Rogue and Mage are top dps by a fairly wide margin (~20%) at extreme gear levels. All the rest of the dps are pretty similar, except windwalkers, who still haven't recovered from the last round of capricious nerfbatting. If you aren't going to be mythic raiding it doesn't matter at all IMO though.

    Erased - interesting, will watch more Gate - continues to be good, will watch Divine Gate - rubbed me the wrong way, turned it off halfway through first episode Active Raid - not sure if this is deliberately a parody or not. Mixed bag, may watch more. Dimension W - this one was good...

    XCOM 2

    Given GMG shows the 'special' australian price of $120 for XCOM2, I'd suggest they aren't all that much into grey market keys.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He's M.L.N Hanover too - a surprisingly busy guy. I recommend The Black Sun's Daughter for that matter, very clever plotting, I liked it more than most of his stuff as Daniel Abraham.

    That xmas unit is such bullshit - incredibly overpowered unit for limited time for 30 gems a summon ? That's a new low for money grubbing.

    Grim Dawn

    Yeah, two of them dropped from the cultist guys outside the locked door. That end boss is kind of crazy there yeah - not enough to have ludicrous hp and near instant kill ground aoe, but also has to have pets that debuff and snare ;p

    Grim Dawn

    I did a level 21 secret area at 14 with shaman - I was kind of surprised to find that the exp you get for that is way worse than just killing regular stuff. Got a really good sword off the last boss, which is sadly useless for a shaman ;p

    What did you just read?

    I use amazon's newly released recommendations list. You have to put a bit of work into putting a list of stuff you like, which is a downside, but it's 100% on giving new releases on authors you liked, and has a reasonably good hit rate on related recommendations.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Frost has a rotation which is basically whack-a-mole so it depends if you like that kind of thing I guess. Legion looks to be making it less RNG-tastic by having killing machine only apply to obliterate, so you can never use it up on the wrong thing.

    Grim Dawn

    Hmm, gave this one a go - did shaman, kind of fun with the insect swarms and lightning and such. Anyone got any tips on the crafting stuff ? Adding it to gear seems pointless because of how fast you replace it, but I am not sure if the early craft items are worth anything in the long run -...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For legion ? DK I think - death strike is being changed to use runic power instead of runes, so your dps doesn't go to hell if you spam it when levelling. Given how ass all the rest of the melee self healing is, I would not be surprised if they make death strike blood only though.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Probably the main thing that changed is you can now buy a month's gametime with gold - ~33k ish at the moment I think. It's pretty easy to get 33k gold in a month if you play a lot, so the $15 shouldn't be an issue. The biggest gameplay change is that mythic dungeons have a chance at up to 5...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    If anyone seriously thinks Phantom Menace was better, I'd be very surprised. In my opinion it did everything better than a new hope, except for originality. If it had come out first, there would be no question it was better, but it was just too similar. Overall - very good, but falls short...

    I was kind of expecting walking dead syndrome - i.e. a fantastic pilot that immediately drops to blah. I'm very glad to be proven massively wrong on that one - that was fantastic. No more episodes til jan sucks ;p

    The Expanse

    I am almost certain the two authors split up the view points and Daniel Abraham did Miller. He is utterly believable and kind of a horrible person but you still really empathise with him. Other guy will have done Holden, he has a lot less experience, so Holden is basically a good guy but...

    Probably - making an entirely new set with different effects because 'we don't want raiders to want to do lfr' is pants on head retarded, as seen by the complete 180 on valor.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Plat is 100 to the dollar pretty much - if you are selling the code directly you should be able to get pretty close to that. Last I checked, gax and ozawa AA run around 2k plat ($20) and portension $6-$10. At the moment mercs don't do anything so the only people buying them are collectors...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Might be me, but I found early gearing shadow to be the worst dps class to play - rotation boring, no aoe worth a shit and dps awful. Seem to be great at high gear though, maybe scaling, maybe I just suck ;p Leveling wasn't an issue though - there's that glyph? ( maybe talent ? ) that makes...

    LOL at the pocket horse for prot paladins. I concede style points there 8) Brewmaster seems to be completely reworked from what it is now. No guard, no stagger mastery, ox as a talent etc. 30% to reset keg smash on tiger palm is pretty crazy though - brewmaster is clearly an early pick for...

    Joe is probably the best actor on the show IMO - he always seems really genuine, especially when he's finding things funny - made me think about how unconvincing most laughing is in tv series.
