Yay, game hangs are fixed and tournaments are enabled again. Draft much more fun when it's 'for real'. I am still absolutely terrible, but at least I won my first game before getting thrashed mercilessly ;p Could not resist the temptation to snake a few legendaries that did nothing for my...

No wipes from now on. General advice from people more keen than me is to keep packs to use in tournaments. ( you use 3 sealed packs and a token entry fee, and get to keep the packs plus whatever you win )

Yeah, from alpha, chest upgrading is a chumps game, unless they changed the rewards and rates it's just a giant money sink for pvp'ers. It seems a good idea for economy stimulation though, PVPers will probably always want more gold than they get from tournaments, so AH gold trading should be...

That seems kind of overstating it - 3 packs and draft tournament entry costs what, $4 ? 1000 bucks is playing every week for 5 years to break even - you'd have to be very very dedicated.

Blasphemy! Krieger is awesome.

The classes are head scratchingly unbalanced in terms of how they progress. If you want a good newbie experience, try stalker - they pretty much explode out the gates at level 2. Medic is also decent start, warrior is still pretty terrible at 15, engineer is terrible to start with and becomes...

Littlefinger *is* behind everything, I hope they don't cut his explanation to Sansa on why he killed Joffrey - it just sums up his character so perfectly:

I dunno, having a radio controlled kill switch and a super hacker seems a plausible way out of that confrontation. I'm guessing he's going for the death-suppressant immediately healing any injuries approach, although there's no reason to think that applies to other things than just deterioration...

Did his sister actually kill him ? Restoring your memories from backup after getting knocked out seems kind of overkill.

Good to see the second season going strong.

"Slow.. Too Slow... Is this the best I can do ? I don't belong here after all" For the most blatant example.

I checked that out, out of curiosity because I thought McAvoy was older - he's 35, but holy shit, Patrick Stewart is 74. Clearly the result of some kind of demonic pact.

It's 24 - the chances of her surviving into another season, assuming there is one, are less than Sean Bean's of making it through a Final Destination movie.

Yeah, Olenna moves her braid over the top of the gem, then takes it out underneath her braid while pretending to stroke her hair. Even knowing it was coming, it was pretty damn subtle, particularly given the camera focus was on the right spot ;p

My thoughts from first ep or so on ones that I didn't reject, with the note I am biased mostly toward interesting storyline : Sidonia no Kishi - I liked this the most of the starter episodes by a long way - a lot of stuff going on, very much show not tell. Nice touches of humor that fit well...

Hearing the main guy's thoughts was a bit jarring though, given he seems to legitimately believe he sucks. Oh woe is me, I am a terrible mage, all I can cast is time stop and nuclear explosion. Lol.

Thinking about it, it works as a coincidence. Consider why he kept her alive in the first place - having a witness that could identify someone else seems a really handy thing to keep in reserve. Also, it did not seem to be brainwashing, she never saw him, just heard his voice. A voice...

If it helps, leviathan wakes is not even remotely similar to game of thrones. I am not sure how well the human stuff will translate either. The detective is such a downer, and TV has a low tolerance for horrible people with no redeeming qualities.

It was kind of gradual improvement other than ep 17, which was great by any standard. Ep 12ish maybe ? I'd probably start from 10 though, everything from then on starts to tie together so some things won't make sense otherwise.

Easier than that I think - the time 'loop' collapsed when the original Alec didn't go back to save Emily.

The ending was a bit silly :

Mixed first impressions for me - I like the depth of well, everything, the combat and building aspects. However, the launcher with it's unsubtle demands to make yet another online account is distasteful, and the way it overwrites the in-game graphical settings with the default the launcher...

Yeah, I found the rest amusing but not really funny. I got some good laughs out of this one though. Rick is such an asshole.

That's kind of silly even if it wasn't a sham academy that got blown up. Gamagoori is like 25 and ryouko is a first year who has attended maybe 6 minutes of classes.

Was that last beta weekend or before ? Because I can't see how that's possible - level 2 weaponsmith was 2000xp, crafting an item used 6 ore and gave 50xp, completing a tech tree node required 3 items and 200xp, work orders required 3 items and gave 200xp. Normal nodes gave 4-5 ore and were...

Obviously not as original, but I liked them, other than Zoe's Tale which bugged me a bit - sometimes the same story from someone else's point of view can be interesting, but this one did not work for me.

In no particular order : Use of Weapons - Ian Banks The Neutronium Alchemist - Peter F Hamilton Pretty much anything by Alistair Reynolds Cryoburn - Lois McMaster Bujold Peacekeeper - Laura Reeve Old Man's War - John Scalzi Trading in Danger - ElizabethMoon Iron Sunrise - Charles...

I tried a bit of crafting in the beta weekend, it looks like they doubled down on the make it painful, make it hard, make it annoying qualities - 2 hours of farming got enough basic mats to drain all my accumulated funds with required bought materials and get 1/3 of a bar into level 1...

The description says 12 episodes covering the same stuff as the OVAs, so that gives them about 4 minutes of extra time over the 6 OVAs. It's *possible* that it's not a cynical cash grab, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

The first one was, so I'd imagine so. The first one had absolutely awful AI, but the mechanics allowed for crazy overpowered stacking/combos, so it was actually some pretty good fun if you don't mind steamrolling the AI. I'll probably pick the second one up when it's on special some time...

It is not necessarily a linear relationship, they might be able to fix oxygen scrubbers much faster if they are offline, but not have enough capacity to keep the current population alive with one turned off. Like trying to repair a car while driving it.

Dark in setting or dark in storyline ? Because darker than black isn't a particularly bleak setting. If it's dark storyline, try some of the Urobutcher's finest like Puella Magi Madoka ( you may wonder if I am crazy when watching the first episode - it's a trap ! ;p ) or Fate Zero, also...

No, walking up to your uncle while he is naked, checking out his package, and then going in for a hug is totally normal behavior, and in no way suggests she is desperate for his cock ;p

I thought that was a good start to the series - angry Kira is more entertaining than morally conflicted Kira ;p There is not a hope in hell of 'correcting' the timeline after the damage they did so far though - I wonder where they go with that.

He's the prince *because* he has a highly trained and well equipped army. Dalinor was just thinking that he'd assumed his army would suck because the guy never did any fighting himself, but immediately realized that was a stupid assumption, because there is no link between how well the boss...

I was thinking, 'What, how hasn't he seen that yet ? It's from 2009 ! Then I checked and became very happy when I found it's a new one ;p

The first book is one the weaker ones, pretty tolkien derivative etc. The second is one of the better ones, and fourth is probably my favorite. Unfortunately there's a depressing decline in the middle ;p

They explained the visions as Cohle being drugfucked so badly in the past he still has recurring hallucinations. Given there's no supernatural tie-ins, there is no reason to expect the visions to have any deep meaning, so there's no reason to explain what they are about. I think it's just...

You can't target outside melee range, attacks at that range are just wasted mana. I agree that dreamweaver is a gigantic cockblock for an all caster party, it's doubly annoying because dreamweavers were barely even a speedbump for all melee - one bladedancer would cleave any number of them in...

There's a chest behind him with a full set of green armor that gives +17ish prime damage aoe on hit on each piece. You might have just vendored it if not paying attention though given it is green and there's no reason to expect that no other armor in the game has that effect.
