    Puzzles and Dragons

    She isn't - from the slot machine rundown post I linked to earlier on Roman gods : "Fire is kind of pointless, since the active skill deals fire damage at one of the enemy at 10x the value. Has a cooldown of 10 turns (lowest 5). Not the best of skills, generally deemed low tier. Do not start...

    Puzzles and Dragons

    What color ogre ? In general they have more hp and atk than knights, but terrible recovery. Ogres also have an ultimate evolution, which knights don't - it makes them dual colors, you pick by what stuff you feed them. There's no light or dark ogres, but given you are using a valk as team leader...

    Puzzles and Dragons

    Most of the special dungeons are extremely hard, departure dungeon is the way to go. Once you get a few levels, the metal dragon dailies are definitely worth doing though ( You can do them really early, but if you do, you run the risk of getting a king dragon which kills you ), they are pretty...

    Hmm, that was an interesting run of luck ! Finally got ametarasu to level 20 ( I feel Tarrant's pain, the boss of the last tower I did took 170 turns to kill, sigh ), gifted my chaos knight, got a black dragon on the chaos knight and a white dragon on the ametarasu, then switched to loki and got...

    Ame is shit until evolved to 6* where she becomes crazily awesome. I can totally see not wanting to bench her and play newbie mobs, but deleting her gets you horror from the people who spend hundreds of hours rerolling trying to get her lol. I don't see any problem with re-rolling honestly...

    If you liked that aspect of FMA:B in particular, you might give Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann a bash.

    Kind of the definition of late bloomer there - start with a very sub-par healer that costs a fortune to improve. Long term though, it's pretty epic.

    I've done a few reroll runs looking for support guys for my main, odds seem to be about 70% green egg, 20% grey egg, 10% gold egg from my history. Gold egg will always get you a 5*, but as you can see from the link above, lots of the 5* are pretty crappy - some of the grey guys are great...

    Have you tried APK downloader ? I know market enabler works, but that requires root - I don't think apk downloader does.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    It's pretty much always better to have single colored team, just for the leader bonuses - your vampire lord doubles the attack of all dark guys, so if you had a fire knight and a dark knight, the fire knight would have to be twice as strong as the dark to break even, even if you just blow up...

    The knights are basically ghetto swordsmen, but the dual element is pretty handy. This post had the best rundown of stuff from the random machine that I've run across : http://ggftw.com/forum/game-discussi...e-dragons.html It's a good read, as most of the things that look fantastic aren't...

    Looking for Mature Anime/Manga series recommendations

    Watch the first series and the movie, pretend the second series never happened. The first series jumped all over the place in chronology and leapt straight into the middle of situations, leading to a kind of breakneck confused craziness. The second series redid the first series, put everything...

    Mark of the Ninja

    It's the opposite of pretty much every other action. Hold down 'E' until the mouse direction marker shows up, then *release* e, hold down right click and then move in the indicated direction. Holding down right click before you release e is an automatic fail, as is pushing E with rmb held...

    Did you actually watch fate zero ? That is downright crazy talk, unless your idea of 'mature' is 'has tits' or something like that.

    Mostly - trying to do a slide kick is pretty awkward and pickpocketing is unnecessarily stupid.

    Winter 2013 Anime Thread

    I liked this one, other than the main character being a stereotypical weak minded idiot. "We're actually doing you a favor ! If we stopped killing off your excess population, you'd starve to death" is certainly a unique argument ;p

    I did that for a bit, and ended up with, erm, a 5* dark elemental or something - it's got huge stats but it's leader ability seems a bit useless - unless there's something I'm missing, to take advantage of it you need to have a bunch of purple guys, which makes half the colors useless. It seems...

    Evil Dead Remake

    Army of Darkness remake as a horror movie would be 100% epic fail from start to finish. It would be like remaking the Life of Brian as a historical drama.

    The Hobbit

    It's a kids book - pretty much all the "humor" was direct from the source material, the darker tone was mostly in bits they added for the movie. You can at least be relieved that they didn't include *all* of the singing.

    While FMA and Gurren Lagann are really good, they also have a lot of kiddiness in them. Some thoughts that haven't been mentioned so far : Puella Magi Madoka Magica ( When you see the first episode and think 'what the fuck?!', keep in mind that it's a trap ) Monster Steins;Gate Mirai...

    Borderlands 2 - free with new video card. Had fun with this but overall I felt it was wanting in some important areas, in particular I think they may have shot themselves in the foot with the overly complicated stat systems and limited inventory and ammo space. Spending as much time trying to...

    XCOM Enemy Unknown

    Depends if you are playing ironman or not - if you just reload to keep all your guys around, the shiv is worthless except as ethereal bait, but on ironman, there's often times when you'll have all your useful guys dead or in the hospital, and have to send in the rookies - upgraded SHIV is a hell...

    The Hobbit

    That doesn't really make any sense, for two main reasons : 1) For most of the timeframe of the hobbit and the LoTR, Sauron was hiding from them, not them hiding from him. 2) At no point during this time did he actually *have* the one ring. Galadriel certainly knew this, at least from the...

    XCOM Enemy Unknown

    Hey, mind control is the best reason to bring a SHIV ;p Also, line up snipers and then blow the wall open with rockets instead of taking the door is often effective. Having your stun-gunner standing near the likely MC targets can also save you some mighty expensive friendly fire*. * Does...

    I don't know, I found the twelve kingdoms fascinating to start with, but I kind of stalled out around in the mid 30s, the ex-princess and the escaped scullery maid are such unpleasant people that I had difficulty maintaining interest. I'll probably finish it off sometime though. The RC...

    I felt it peaked at the christmas episode. Unfortunately it kept going downhill for a long time after that. I like it overall, but can't help but wish it had lived up to the potential of that episode. Or at the very least gone as a 1 cour and finished with the first arc.

    Dungeon Defenders

    In fairness that will probably only happen with the Jester - their character portrait should be the trollface. IMO the game has it's problems, but if you haven't played it, I'd be amazed if you didn't get $6.50 value out of it - there's a metric shitton of content, much of which is quite...

    Well, it ended much the same way that someone logging into EQ to kill Brad McQuaid would, minus ghostly intervention. Random thought - given there appears to be only one pain slider for the entire game ( neither of them specify a target for the pain slider, and it starts at 80 instead of 100...
