    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    To people worried about the difficulty, I think it's not a huge problem, it's just that the game gives you tutorials once and then you're on your own. I learned how to dodge, parry, block, jump to the side to get an advantage in one of the early shrines, then rarely had to use any of it because...

    Overwatch

    Yeah, that happened to me too in Arcade Mode. Got suspended from queuing for 10 minutes because I was leaving 3v3 games right after it finished instead of waiting for POTG to play out. It's fine to do it a few times (maybe not in competitive) but make sure not to overdo it or you'll get a slap...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Hehe since we're talking about weird flashbacks.. I was playing Mario 3D Land on 3DS the other day while bored at the in-laws, and I realized the noise it makes when you unlock a locked level (by spending the star coins to open it) is the EXACT same sound file for the classic EQ "Ding!"..of...

    Marvel Universe Stuff

    I saw an interesting theory that maybe the Soul Gem is held by, or even inside, Heimdall. The reasoning behind it is that we know the Soul Gem is orange, and he has orange glowy eyes, has said before that he can see "all the souls in the nine kingdoms", and during Thor's visions in Avengers 2...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Cool to see you again, Astennu, I remember seeing you in-game and in a lot of pictures of raids on Triton's website back then. I had quite a few nice run-ins with Triton folks at the time, especially remember meeting Dunric and uh.. Gomar? Pretty sure that's the name, big barbarian rogue...

    Hey, I was on Povar for a few years too, 1999 to 2004 (basically quit when WoW came out).. was mostly in <Arcis> then later <Forces Unknown> on Povar, was a dwarf rogue named Runnen. It's cool to see some Povar peeps here.

    Overwatch

    Pretty sure those are leaked skins for the upcoming "Year of the Rooster" Chinese New Year event for Overwatch. Those four skins right here are based on famous chinese legend "Journey to the West" (probably four legendaries) and there are also epic skins for Mei and D.va. Chinese New Year...

    Passengers (2016)

    Saw it with the wife, I thought it was good, but she loved it (definitely a chick flick but it had enough sci-fi elements to keep me interested..). There's one thing that kinda bothered me about the ending though.. it's mentionned at least once that the ship has spare parts to build pretty much...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    If you apply the same logic to the Marvel movies after each hero's origin movie, you have the same result. That's why there is such a thing as a franchise, so you don't HAVE to do a story from beginning to end in a single movie and people can take some things for granted or common knowledge and...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    Like I said previously, I've not read many books on the subject, most of my reading was done on Xenopedia or similar-themed wikis, and I grabbed Labyrinth cheap because the premise sounded interesting. There's a lot of comic books and quite a few novels, I can't really tell you which are good...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    Aliens : Labyrinth, by S.D. Perry. The main plot revolves around a space station with a mad scientist experimenting on xenomorphs, but his backstory is the one I described, and is pretty gruesome (though it's not a major part of the book). Meh, it's decent enough to read, grab it if it's cheap...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    Yeah I didn't dig too much into books or comics but I love the Alien universe so I read up some wikis and the main theory seems to be that although Xenomorphs have the ability to feed on prey (the inner jaw killing method also provides food), their blood gives them some form of energy when there...

    That makes me a lot sadder than it probably should. What a fucking terrible year.

    You forgot to add Mac Walters to write the ending (Dude wrote Mass Effect 3) and Michael Bay for cinematography.

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    1 - Empire Strikes Back 2 - Return of the Jedi 3 - A New Hope 4 - Rogue One 5 - The Force Awakens I loved them all, and even if TFA is last, it's still a very good Star Wars movie in my book. I suppose I put it last because it's only part of a story that's not finished yet, but the rating may...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    It was simply implied that they were going to board the Tantive IV before they leave. When we see Threepio discussing Scarif with Artoo, some fighter pilots are gearing up and preparing for take off, it's assumed they joined Captain Antilles and his crew in the following minutes.

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Well, to be fair the Imperial fleet stationned at the shield generator was outnumbered once the Rebels showed up, they had this huge Mon Calamari cruiser, and a whole bunch of fighters (which Star Destroyers aren't really meant to counter, they're only used against similar-sized capital ships...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    This reviewer is truly mind-blowing. Dude hated Empire and Return, only gave A New Hope an indifferent meh. Utterly HATES John Williams' musical score, even claims he enjoys the movies more with the sound off to get rid of the music because it opresses him. LOOOOVED Clones and Revenge of the...

    Depends on the 8 year old but yeah lots and lots of people die, no gore or blood but still, it's pretty dark and violent.

    Make sure to get some salt and pepper to go with it. :-) You should really like it, based on what you're asking for.

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Saw it this morning at the first showing. It was everything I could have hoped for. I loved it, and will see it again. If you have questions, shoot, and I'll do my best to not spoil anything (including not answering you if it's a spoiler).

    Dishonored 2

    Got it on PS4 and been slowly progressing through it because the wife wants to watch me play for the story. Anyway, I'm really impressed by the gameplay, you can solve problems in multiple ways and it's a lot of fun to find all the ways to sneak around and go through missions, and to kick ass...

    Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

    The only decent one was the first one, and that was half decent. All the others have been terrible to awful, with vague ups and downs in mediocrity. The worst one is probably the fourth, then the second, the third is the least terrible but that's like saying it's my favorite flavor of AIDS.

    Westworld

    I think William is probably the Man in Black, because they've been dropping a lot of hints towards this conclusion, and as we all saw in the last episode, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and Bernard is just Arnold. The internet is just too smart for this kind of show to keep its secrets under...

    Westworld

    That's what I'm saying. At the time, figuring out Bernard was a rebuilt Arnold was the clever guess, figuring out the name anagram wasn't the trickiest part. I meant no disrespect to the autistic gentleman.

    Westworld

    To be fair, guessing the full name wasn't difficult once you had the theory that Bernard could be Arnold. Arnold is a german given name, and Weber is in the top 5 of most common german surnames. It was as simple as jumbling the letters and finding the most german anagram you could come up with...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Already have two tickets for the first showing on Dec 14th, 10:20 AM. Sometimes, just sometimes, it's cool to live in Europe. I didn't get the Krennic cosplay I was hesitating on though, so I'm pondering going as Kylo Ren holding a Vader sign that says "Get the rebels, grampa!" since I already...

    What's going on at Blizzard?

    I'm a "hardcore casual" in that I don't raid other than LFR and mostly play solo, but I play everyday for a few hours.. I've never been hit as hard by "content draught" as most people because I always have things to do or collect or catch up on, but still, this is the first time I've seen...

    Gee, I wonder why they decided to suddenly add Thrawn to the Rebels series, now that they're making movies on pre-ANH era.. ;-) Look forward to seeing the blue guy in movie form someday.

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    Thought the movie was very entertaining, lots of humor and awesome visuals. I was looking forward to it coming out but at the same time wary about how they'd handle bringing magic into the Marvel universe but they did a homerun with it, I cannot think of a better way to introduce magic into this...

    Yeah, as much of a huge fan as I am of the Star Wars classics, it's like some people expect to get that new car smell all over again with these new movies. Star Wars classic trilogy is like EverQuest guys, it was awesome because we were virgins to this stuff, now we are jaded old fucks and we...

    A lot of shortcuts and false assumptions regarding Sargeras in some of the previous comments... At the beginning, there was Light and Dark in the universe. Titans are cosmic beings born from world-souls (a seed that develops rarely inside planets and evolves into a full-blown cosmic being, made...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Thanks for the tip, I did all this across 10 characters to get all the skins available from all Dalaran vendors and the only money spent was the void storage fees, so basically 200-300 gold per character, it worked like a charm. Now if only I could win some PvP to earn marks of honor and do the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    No heirloom weapons like SoO this time around, but heirloom trinkets that go up to level 110 that drop randomly off Mythic-difficulty dungeon bosses. The end bosses of Blackrock Foundry and Hellfire Citadel raids drop a mount 100% but on August 30th will be nerfed to 1-3% drop rate as per usual...

Also you'll be able to start playing a Demon Hunter in their prologue instance (if you pre-ordered Legion only)...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes and no. The really old wand is still in the game for those that obtained it back then but is not a toy, but they made a more recent version in the Cataclysm quest revamp, and that one is a toy. You can use both.
