While the game has some big bugs (the skillpower business and the co-op scaling being the biggest) I am still shocked at how complete and well thought-out it is. Its almost like the people making Division 2 learned from what eventually made Division 1 good instead of just starting from scratch...

I was just looking at the PAX East schedule / map and there doesn't seem to be any Blizzard presence at the show this year. Always before they had some sort of panel / announcement with a huge booth containing demo stations and a giant merchandise booth that had a perpetual line around it...

Friend saw it at one of those paid sneaks on Saturday and really liked it. Said it had a lot in common with the New 52 story that ran as a backup in Justice League.

Bortus hiding them around their quarters was amusing. Here's one, here's one, here's one....here's a whole pillow of them.

Been rationing these out and just watched Suits last night. Very fun story and yeah made me think a StarCraft animated series would be a lot of fun. Felt bad for the cows.

What the hell is up with the skill power requirements to get skill mods to activate? Started getting mods at level 14 that required hundreds of skill power (when I had like 50 at most) and now in WT2 I get items that need 5000(?!?) when the best I can manage is around 2k if I only go for skill...

So there's no chance anymore that Michael is actually real is there? I thought it was a silly notion until the whole time travel inventing parents bit.

It's a very thin plot and one that never answers the questions of: 1) Why are humans on this moon? 2) Why do javelins work but computers don't exist and radio is short range at best 3) What is the Anthem? 4) Why do all these people have different accents despite from being in one small area...

On a lark I decided to fire up Mass Effect 1 to see if I was just being overly nostalgic about the Bioware of the past. While the nostalgia does hit hard with the music of the first game the game itself is still as solid as it ever was. Makes me wish they would do a proper remaster and even...

They say anything about the scaling issue when joining friends who are different levels? Its been a total shitshow the few times I've tried both as the higher person as the host and the lower person as host.

I don't know if this was a holdover from later year Div1, but the whole special talents linked into off/def/util total values equipped is just freaking brilliant. Adds so much extra dimension to building out a gear set / spec.

The range is actually much more fully featured than I expected at first blush. I find it quite handy to go futz with new builds in the range before I wander out into the street and get annihilated as I try to shoot a gun that can't hit the broad side of a barn.

We are not deserving of such majesty!

So while tooling around at the start of WT1 I got caught in a crossfire between two factions and was pinned down quite effectively. I decided I had enough of this crap and pulled out my Signature Weapon! As the whole color of the screen changed and a semi-Matrix-ish sort of sound played I...

I do think Sonnie's Edge and the response it has gotten, as well as the response to Altered Carbon, indicates there is an audience very ready for a proper Cyberpunk animated series.

It makes sense in a world where you are reliant more on the bandwidth of streaming vs. the need for dedicated, and continually upgraded, hardware.

It also seems as if they didn't get to the endgame which is where the 'story' really starts in earnest. Before that point its mostly just a retread of the setting from Division 1 with new window dressing.

I had to force myself to bypass optional missions and ignore some stuff if I wanted the Story missions to be at all challenging (since they don't scale whereas the optional ones do). I thought I was really OCD about picking shit up until I got the perk that gives you Sword of Omens style...

Well this is interesting... does address the question of how toys come to life.

Just 'finished' the game at 30 and holy mother of end game content... My eyes just went wide at how amazing this concept is.

I'm playing on Xbox...I have not even remotely the sort of pointing accuracy that I would think would be necessary for such a task. As it is the 'Target Practice' events make me want to throw the controller against the wall.

For the love of all that's holy I really hate the Outcasts and their fucking Molotov cocktails as thrown by world class athletes possessing uncanny strength and accuracy.

We noticed that if the high level person joins their low-level friend (i.e. it is the lowbies 'world' then things might be scaled properly. Certainly it seemed easier to downgrade than upgrade

So FYI the found footage collectibles give some background on the various people and factions. I think this autoplayed in Division 1 after you finished a relevant mission but now you have to go into your collectibles and view it

The reinforcement chem launcher is no joke. Picked it up when I unlocked the chem launcher and tossed the drone into the garbage. The drone is nice, but unless you are taking a steady stream of low damage it overheals by an order of magnitude and then had a stupid long cooldown. I forsee a...

Hmmm I've been using the drone constantly with no problems. If the drone gets detroyed it goes onto a super fast cooldown so I actually hope it gets shot after I've healed up. No crashes here and everything is smooth, but my buddy (who insisted I play this) is having all kinds of problems and...

This is why you absolutely cannot phone-it-in when you are a game systems designer. There will always be someone with a personal motivation based around their fundamental interest in their hobby that can reverse engineer your terrible algorithms.

Not who all are in the suits as well. Could be a fake shot for the trailer (since it IS Marvel we are talking about) but still very tingly seeing Ms. Pond as a bona-fide Avenger.

So I am now in a terrible place in this game. I finally, FINALLY, got a '10 thousand suns' to drop and had been happily enjoying my return to throwing down big fireball booms all over... Then I got a Legendary LMG that had +175% damage and +200% physical damage on it with a few other doodads...

No one seems to like writers anymore. They get shit on constantly, get no credit when things do go well, and are paid less-than-peanuts. This movie certainly intrigued me as I am a big fan of at least half of the cast, but something did feel a bit 'off' in the trailers.

Star Wars Episode IX Dec

I was worried that by losing the winter season we'd suffer a boring environment, but those thunderstorms are no joke!

I am dying a lot, its actually quite pleasant not being able to just mow down content. Lingering questions I have: 1) What does selecting a crafting 'project' do? Is she actually doing something when I select a project independent of me just crafting the damn thing? 2) Where's a good place to...

I suppose subs must not be tanking as much as we would expect given that they seem to be charging stupidward with gusto with all this bullshit. I would actually be okay if they just came out and said: "'eh fuck it, we're just as tired of this storyline and overall shit expansion as you are so...

I tried the shield and it's pretty nice if you want to tank out-of-cover. It regens 'health' quickly when not being shot

Subtle... Lol
