    Deadpool 2 (2018)

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Blizzard has done a good job since WoD of remembering that Draenei exist, heck Valen was even a core part of the Legion plot. The Gilneans have also been embraced mostly due to them wanting to showcase their CGI fur in cutscenes. The seem to have forgotten about the Pandaren though. Other...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I've been playing with level scaling and things were fairly challenging at the start, but after level 12 or so things get really quite easy. I think more than anything else it's the survivability boost you get around that time which means you aren't beholden to manually targeted defense and...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    There are definitely some 'WTF??' items for sale at various merchants. Its like some tanned person standing at their open air stall selling potable water, hard tack, salted pork, cannon shot and The One Ring.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It seems sanity has returned and they will be taking racials and activated trinkets off the GCD in the next Beta Patch.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I actually don't mind using the default AI for many of the battles, especially trash battles. It is, however, super annoying how the wizards love to drop fireballs on the front line melee group. Well that and the relatively short range of things means people always end up clumped as hell...

    The Expanse

    We are at the juncture where it's put-up-or-shut-up time for streaming services to put a nail in the coffin of live broadcast. No one wants to watch scripted drama live anymore, they just don't. Broadcast networks still have news and sports within their wheelhouse owing to the immediacy...

    The Expanse

    The true measure of the quality of this show is the sheer number of times I yell "DAAAMN Bitch!" St the screen. For the record we are averaging 5-6 per episode this season

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I actually restarted (I wasn't far along) to undo some of my multiclass choices and also because I felt the urge to take full advantage of the Critical Role voice DLC by making a Scanlan-appropriate main character.

    The Fast Food Thread

    There is a dominoes near me that is a very independent franchise which, apparently, is still using the old old OLD recipe / ingredient sourcing from back in the 90s. Someone brought Dominoes to a gathering and we all gave them a caustic glare until we tried a slice and it was, astonishingly...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I managed to player PoE without ever encountering Pallegina (had no idea she existed until I saw some previews for this game) so I wonder if she will show up for me or not. Then again I'm also curious as to what happens if your Eder or Aloth were dead...who do you get as an early companion in POE2?

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I'm sticking to the main companions as their stories tend to be pretty interesting,plus who could ever turn down the lovablr country bumpkin Eder?!? I decided to multiclass everyone so far which makes for a quite interesting mix of abilities. It's a good thing I did this for my main especially...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Holy cow. I thought the original was very cool, but nearly every aspect of the game system has been improved. Wandering overland is much more sensible and adventure focused without being just trapsing around a map in stealth mode, the combat abilities / resting system makes more cohesive...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I realized last night I had never actually finished the final battle in the original... Was not expecting the ending that I got and also did not realize the extent to which my decisions would impact the world. Not sure if I want to import into the sequel given the sad state of affairs.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So tried the StormSong zone on Beta and the storyline and overall experience was much better...for the first half of the zone. After the 'intermission' the second half was fairly lackluster and featured some of the worst quest geography I've ever encountered in a Razorfen Kraul like area of...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Its always entertaining coming into the class overhaul as part of the expansion pre-season and seeing which of the massive changes to classes you play irritates you the least. I really wanted to run with my Mistweaver Monk for this expansion but it just feels so damn clunky with these basic-ass...

    DC Universe Streaming Service

    Given the Press Release they put out I expect this is more than just a streaming service. I would expect it to include an All-Access 'Spotify' type model for ebook versions of comics.

    Battletech

    I've loved BattleTech for ages since I got the original Battledroids box set for $2 at Big Lots. (Also got the Battlestar Galactica starship combat game there for $1) That having been said, the whole notion of mechs that walk around on two legs and thus are prone to falling down is just...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    This is a good argument for subscription-based revenue streams... if you need to keep people happy to pull in the big bucks vs one time sales things are different.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I wonder what its like at Bungie right now. Do they know how bad it is? Surely they must right?

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    After someone mentioned that Destiny 2 was on sale at Best Buy for $10 this week I was motivated to think about how we got here. I rewatched the original opening cinematic complete with Bill Nighy's narration and you know what? I STILL want to play that game... The whole bit where the...

    Frostpunk

    Very polished and highly thematic. Its an interesting spin on a 'city building' / 'resource gathering' game. Definitely worth the price of admission.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I made mention in a totally different thread about how incredibly awesome the original WoW vanilla zone designs were. Not only did they do all sorts of occlusion tricks to ensure the rendering and display of textures stayed butter smooth, but they also were incredibly efficient in terms of...

    These bastards cannot offer me enough credit for any 'guard' mission. Fuck that noise especially when trying to protect things that are seemingly made out of graham crackers and frosting.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I think its safe to say that Thanos is not entirely sane... So ascribing completely rational behavior to him is somewhat pointless. That's not to say that his ideas are without merit, but he clearly never really thought all of this through.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Not bad as predictions go. I still feel that whatever happens in Avengers 4 will result in the Xmen / Fantastic Four popping into existence. I know Kevin Feige has said that there were no plans to use the FOX properties in Phase 4, but the man is a consumate showman and so his word cannot be...

    Detroit: Become Human

    I had not heard of this before PAX and it was quite an eye-opener for me. I am a huge fan of the setting and detective type games in general so I feel this is right up my alley. I also love that they give you the full decision web along with stats for both the world and your friends. I...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I think the global box office totals will be just a bit lower than they might otherwise be. Why? There are some members of what should be the core audience who wont see this because they feel they fell too far behind with the movies. One of my best friends missed Dr Strange, Black Panther...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Remember that in the MCU Wanda is not a mutant but rather a living product of the Mind stone. Since her power derives from the Mind stone itself it makes some sense.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I've always disliked master looting. I get the general concept and can see how it would be beneficial for a tightly woven team, but in practice there always was a lot of social engineering and drama that got folded into it, especially when you ML to gear up a dude who then skips town for...

    Battletech

    I decided not to undo any of my deaths and power through and it is really costing me. My repair budget / time spent is crazy high and the monthly financial statement reads like a horror story... oh and I seem to get and kill a red shirt every damn mission.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    The directors do an excellent job of emulating the 'style' of the different element franchises. It really feels like a crossover event as a result with different parts played out in different comics with the same creative team only giving a different side of the bigger picture.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I do say that given what I saw of Ashes of Creation at PAX I would be very much on board with Intrepid acquiring Daybreak and rebranding Ashes of Creation as Everquest 3. Of course what with having that huge booth at PAX and all the other marketing to date they have been aggressively working...
