I liked the second episode's use of radio drama interludes featuring the fictional Peggy Carter armed with her Singer sewing machine contrasted with how the real one was currently kicking ass. I half expected Peter Scolari and Tom Hanks to saunter into the ladies-only residence hotel she ends...

Buck Rogers Matrix Cubed was a fun game back in the day. Similar to the Gold Box D&D games using the Buck Rogers system that TSR created as a licensed product with a very fantastical version of Buck Rogers that had more in common with Flash Gordon style. I tried the version on the archive...

Imperator LFR seemed really diluted to the point of almost pointlessness. In SoO the LFR stuff did at least require some effort on the part of the players to get the mechanics right and even then there was the very real possibility of failure. I honestly think each person could have targeted...

That fight just has a bit too much going on. Personally I felt the wind-pushback aspect was what made it perticularly difficult for people to grasp. Anytime you have an effect that directly effects a player's controls with respect to movement you create a separate instinct of panic which...

Is someone making these things as a tax writeoff? What the hell?!?

I sometimes wonder what Dr Who would be like had it not gotten the ax during the McCoy years. We sort of got a hint with the Americanized Fox Who movie in the 90s, but what would a real Dr Who series have looked like in the 90s? I shudder at the possibility.

As terrible as the production values were for the Sylvester McCoy years his performance was quite good. Started out as a comical sort of buffoon but quickly became a very very dark portrayal of someone who is playing a very long very twisted game. Hence the Cartmel Masterplan that has been...

A guild run that outsources main tank duties? Perhaps things are different, but I've always considered tanks to be the defacto leaders since so much hinges on their positioning / gameplay.

I think the daily quest areas are meant to be "Timeless Isle" type content, only the activities / mob density / tagging mechanism preclude that. I'm stuck at a point where LFR has no possible upgrade for me yet I struggle to find a block of time to search for a PUG raid. I'm right on that...

So Ezra's

I'm posting semi-blind because I'm actively avoiding any spoilers for this but had to jump in to say this has been the most epic feeling RPG I've experienced in quite some time. Feels somewhat like Mass Effect 1 only with the slight drawback of plot elements from the earlier entries. It feels...

Caught the first two episodes of this. It a not high drama or an amazing novel in television form, but it was at least entertaining and nice fluff. Sometimes you just wanna chill with B-grade fluff.

They officially announced today (after the Xmas special aired in Britain) that Clara would be staying for all of Series 9. This will overtake Amy Pond as the longest running companion of Who since the restart in 2005. If she stays past series 9 then she will have been on the show longer than...

Yeah that was the dad's theory. It wasn't just selected breeding either, they were using the closed environment to do heavy genetic recombination therapy via the regular injections to the crew. Hence why the science guy had to be in on the whole deal to continually modify the treatments.

Absolutely stunning. Nice nod towards the end saying she felt she was just getting started despite having done more in a few years than most Avatars did their entire lives. Really establishes the notion, finally, that she is indeed Legendary. You can easily fill in the details as the city...

If we ignore the writing and look at the landmass it seems like Starling City is somewhere near Kansas City. Note that the writing places New York somewhere in North Carolina and Washington DC is in Georgia...

Its also silly that DKs absorb damage like a sponge and channel it back out like a very angry spiked sponge. Daily heroics have already turned into speed runs where the tank, if it is a DK, charges forward and aggros every mob in creation then proceeds to destroy those mobs while the rest of us...

'Team America: World Police' screenings canceled | Inside Movies | EW.com So Alamo Drafthouse and others were gonna show Team America instead of The Interview since it likewise features North Korea...but Paramount has now pulled it from distribution.

Im gonna guess the long run of the series is that word gets out on the ship, quietly, about what Christa can do and some people are in on that secret but other people (with some overlap) are in on the secret that they never left earth. XO is pretty fucked until his own powers (remember he could...

Okay after the end I could be on board with this shit. Lord knows I'm a glutton for punishment, but I was entertained.

Ahhh the little girl just pulled a Carrie / Phoenix move at the end of "episode 5". Kinda curious who this group is, I don't think they are exactly governmental. I'm guessing we get one more twist before the end even after they deal with Jean Gray Jr. They didnt add the RF jammers until...

Forget the pigs, that giant warehouse where they store the cremated bodies and thermos bottles filled with Ascension booze is all the stuff they jettisoned from the ship... For a completely closed ecosystem they seem to have dumped waaaay too much stuff. I wonder whose job it is to manufacture...

It was originally meant to be a 6 week short season with an option to continue on if things worked out. Then right before the first episode was to air SyFy decided to rework it into a three night miniseries event. You will notice at the start of each night that there are two writers and...

The only problem with that is that I already have too much dust and shards...All the enchants worth making to sell are use Temporal Crystals which are also gated behind cooldowns. Its like they turned the entirety of the Profession system into freemium gaming

What is the point of the Mining and Herbalism professions now? I don't think it is even possible to use all the ore you gain from the Garrison mine even if you are maxing out both personal cooldowns and work orders on multiple buildings.

Yup...eugenics. He's trying to make the X-men

You just know in 10 years there will be an awesome coffee table art/tell all book about the making of this game. I wonder if their Monday 8AM meetings are all high-five love fests or if they are consciously aware that they have an amazing core game and possibly the worst content generation /...

No Winter Veil decorations for the Garrison? Wtf lazy art people!

Well the Golden Glider was a figure skater who used technologically advanced ice skates and weaponry to attack the flash... yeah... It was a silver age thing.

So Dinklage won't be doing anymore voice work for this? The expansion is very noteworthy for not having him say anything. Even in the one scene when he has to open a door and you KNOW he is meant to be saying something chatty and just sits there silent ly working.

Thanks to non-reforging and overall crappy itemization versus customization from tradeskill items I only have one actual item that is an upgrade for me that comes from LFR...and its off Mar'gok who wont be available for nearly another month. Bleh

Well he's a 5'9" former A&F model... they aren't really known for looking too tough. That's kinda why the mirakuru thing worked for him for a time since it gave him a superpowered edge. Now that he's clean he's really having to work to keep up which is only gonna get harder with more and more...

The notion of the Rubicon makes me scratch my head. Presumably they've been accelerating this whole time to get to a good fraction of light speed and also have 'gravity' so at the halfway point they need to flip the ship over and decelerate over the second half of the voyage (also providing...

After you do daily quest stuff for awhile you start getting the Garrison campaign quests. It's not exactly timed so it must be somehow gated by another aspect but you end up getting one more-or-less a week. Last week I got one on Tuesday and then another on Sunday. They also seem to come in a...

There was a comment earlier in the season about Oliver using his friends as weapons and he ended up referring to Roy as part of his arsenal and from that point on he gets called that when they are in the field.

Apparently after things start up again we will see Arsenal step up his game since they believe Oliver is dead and Roy needs to take over the mantle of protecting the city.

My one visit to Philly I was taken to a small Cheesesteak place at 2AM that was near a catholic college of somesort. It was my roomate's favorite place for cheesesteaks and I had given him shit for years about him ordering cheesesteaks and being disappointed because really how much different...

The Garrison Campaign quests are at least adding in some decent side/backstory to the game once you are 100.

Oh. Right. Never mind. I made a promise to myself about half way through that I dunno if I will be able to keep now.
