    Err didn’t the whores give him his money back because of how well he dicked them down when Tyrion and Bronn sent him to the whore house?

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Yea, Forge answers a lot of questions, and was one that I really enjoyed. Fall of Ligjt, however, I didn’t care for much. Probably need to revisit that one and see if I don’t appreciate it better on a second read, first time through i’d been looking forward to it so long it was a massive let...

    NA data centers appear to be undergoing maintenance. The message on the launcher said that wasn't going to start until 6 p.m. pacific time. Frustrating, I was hoping to play this afternoon. Maybe they're doing NA data centers now, and they'll be up earlier? One can hope. Edit: nvm, appears I...

    Nah they're not gonna get married. Jon isn't going to continue fucking his Aunt, no matter how hot she happens to be. Also, Dany won't suffer someone else to have a better claim to the throne than her. The divide is there. Something will have to give. These are two of the characters in this...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I hate that Ghost is just there when they need him. In the books he’s Jon’s constant companion and a big part of Jon’s character. They had him in the background up there tonight, but nobody mentioned he was there or anything. It’s like they expect the viewer to just take it for granted that...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Just finished this yesterday. Took me a while to read it, considering how short it is and how much I enjoy and anticipate all of the Malazan books. In short: your analysis is spot on. I know Erikson and ICE created this world together as a form of two man DnD. What I’m curious about is how much...

    Maybe Rhaegar didn't know that Lyanna was pregnant when he went off to fight Robert. If he did know, they surely didn't know it was a boy. Could be Lyanna just picked the name as she lie there bleeding out. Do we know how much time passed between Rhaegar on the Trident and Ned finding Lyanna...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Yo Jin, you got any IG videos? I've played almost exclusively IG, but can never kill a monster in anything even resembling the time that you do. Takes me 10-15 minutes for most monsters.

    I’m trying to talk a buddy into playing this, but he doesn’t have a PC. Can he connect to discord from his PS4? I think he’s okay with the idea of playing with a controller, but being unable to use voice coms might be a deal breaker.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Well that’s disheartening. I’m picking my copy up in a couple days. I’ve liked Esslemont’s work for the most part, and most seemed to have not cared for it. So maybe I’ll still enjoy it. Did you like the first two books in Path to Ascendancy?

    Meh, if the duty finder has a min ilevel, I think it’s fine to go into the dungeon at that minimum ilevel.

    Cool, thanks. The guy on the other team was mostly doing just like you said, rolling in and out. What seemed cool though was when he did his roll/hook thing onto a statue and was swinging in circles around it.

    Haven’t played this much in about a year, but had the itch today and patched up and played a few rounds. I’ve followed the thread off and on while I haven’t been playing, and I don’t remember seeing any mention of the Wrecking Ball guy. Only saw him in one match (only played 3), but he looked...

    I'll second Dom's opinion on the AST. The card mechanic is great, it's like a mini-game within the healing role. Also being able to do Diurnal and Nocturnal sects based on which you prefer or what the fight calls for is awesome. I haven't played either of the other healing jobs, so I can't...

    going to the store in pajama pants vs. going to the store in sweatpants -- is there a difference?

    I’ll go to the gas station in whatever I have on at the time. A normal retail store though, I’ll change out of my “laze-around-the-house gear.” Are PJs and sweat pants any different with regards to going to the store? Nope, your gf is crazy.

    Ah yea, I always forget about time dilation. Usually I’m doing the AoE cards and then using celestial opposition. Speaking of AST, does anyone know what the preferred usage of cards is? Usually I’m trying to spread a balance or spear to the whole group. I’ll put Arrow on casters when the...

    Do you guys run two AST? Or maybe the one was just lucky with Balance. Finally got caught up with MSQ, and got all the primals unlocked. Now it’s time to start working on the extremes. Will the extreme unlocks go in a specific order or can I do them however I like? Was hoping to avoid Rathalos...

    Seems that my alliance isn’t quite as strong as your all’s. We are ranked somewhere around 1450 last I looked. I think the lanes are just really different combinations than what we are used to. I did the shield lane, but got up to where it’s defenders/hydra and that was as far as I could get...

    Man, this new gamma raid is rough. We started Gamma III, and are probably not going to even get 30% on it. Could have sworn we were doing the hardest Jugg raid before and getting 30% there.

    That is correct. Buddy and I just did this over the last couple of days in sigmascape to get geared up.

    What did you just read?

    I’m just finishing up a book called Malice by John Gwynne. It’s the first book in a trilogy. Not the best fantasy I’ve ever read, but it’s not bad either. Was a Christmas gift. Going to pick up the second one later this afternoon. Some of the plots seem somewhat transparent. I won’t go into it...

    Short of spending gil, is the sigmascape the best way to gear up quickly? My main goal is to get all the duties and trials unlocked so I'm not stuck waiting for Genesis upgrades to move through the story. Edit: probably should have checked before I won a bolt, but I figure since there’s another...

    Ah ok, for some reason I thought you quit getting xp until you finished ARR MSQ. Situation isn’t as dire as I thought, but it’s still a slog.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Doh; you need to be hitting that MSQ man. There’s a TON of MSQ in ARR and it’s pretty tedious. I don’t think you can level past 50 until you’ve done MSQ to unlock Heavensward, whether or not you’ve bought the expansion.

    The community in XIV is far and away the best mmo community I’ve ever experienced. I’d say your experience with the guy in Pool of Tribute is the norm, not the exception. As for trial guides, Misteq (sp?) has YouTube videos for all of the trials. Should be able to just put “Trialname guide”...

    Gonna resub tonight after work, couple of my buddies are going to be playing. We are on Brynhildr, which I don’t think is the same data center as you guys, unfortunately. I was farming Susanp and Lakshmi Ex when I quit, and I had beaten O1S. I think I’m around 330 ilvl. MSQ wise I’m hoping I...

    Tarrant, you need to buy a lottery ticket cause you’re on a roll. Nice pulls man, I keep hoping for that 3mill. Re: spending money. I was a dumbass and spent $20 on cores which I bought Premium Orbs with when I started playing the game (and I skipped the Cap offer, lol). Then I spent another...

    I really liked this season. With Christian out, I was pulling for Davie and Nick, glad one of them won. Not sure why Mike got any votes. Seemed to me like he was just a swing-vote all season and didn’t really drive the game in any fashion. Is it just me, or is Angelina much more attractive...

    Damn man, five star Loki and Strange? Also, My strongest character isn’t even 40k and you’ve got 8 there or stronger. Nice. Do you finish in the top of blitzes to get lots of shards or something? I’m usually in the 11-26% on blitz

    What team are you using for Mystic? I am on the Dr. Strange node. My team is pretty weak. Thanos is 28k, Yondu is 38k, but the other three are 21-16k, Mordo Nobu and Sentry. Need to level some mystics up to push further, but not sure who to focus on. Kinda hate to level the hand guys, because...

    If you’re 4* on the Kree now you should be able to unlock him next time the event comes around. Took me 3 months or so to star and gear them up appropriately. My Kree were stronger than was necessary. I auto-won all five of the nodes while I was on the road home from work yesterday. 17-13k on...

    Got Nick Fury yesterday. My shield team is around 105k. Immediately made a difference in my raid performance. Went for about a million more damage in VI first time I used them. Need to level the team up some more still, of course. For now though NF made an immediate impact. Just wish the team...

    Marvel Strike Force.

    Up-side of having just started is you know where to focus your resources, if you’ve taken the time to look into it at all. Starting out I just farmed all the “god” and “demi-god” tier characters that had nodes or were in arena or blitz stores. So while my top ten are really strong, I don’t have...
