Made my way to the third part of book one and I find myself much more interested in the characters, although I really do feel that you could cut out at least half of the first two sections and lose nothing. Not necessarily in terms of plot elements, but there are terribly verbose chapters...

The problem I have with Hearthstone is the complete lack of matchmaking on Blizzards part for "casual" play. Every friend I have tried to get into the game starts to play and gets absolutely annihilated by people with full gold onyxia etc having decks straight out of the gate. Not every game...

This is surprising... I have been very intrigued by the Oculus Rift but I don't know that partnering with Zuckerberg makes a whole lot of sense for this product.

First legendary weapon I got at 70 ended up being a staff of underwhelming attributes... I gave it to Eirenna.

I hit 67 before fighting Uzi so that was kinda painful. On the plus side I did get a pair of 68 flamewalkers to drop shortly thereafter. I've been a completionist and doing all of each map so I figure I will be 70 easy before the end.

The PaperTrail stuff is pretty cool. I was suspect a bit at the ARG nature of the interaction with the website, but it works and makes for a fun series of side missions. Curious to see how this all plays out. When I first saw the conduit dude I went "aieieieie Rapture... bioterrorist? Bioshock!"

Blue laws in Mass still exist for things like holidays. Good fucking luck trying to find a last minute ingredient for your Turkey Day extravaganza, everything is shut.

I did play the first two and this is very much in-family with the earlier titles. If you liked Infamous 1 and 2 then you will like this.

Game is pretty freaking amazing. Very pleased with it so far. I would say this is the first "must have" PS4 game.

The movies have made Iron Man into A-list. Your average consumer now considers Iron Man to be equal in popularity to Spiderman or Superman and just a step behind Batman

I had to check to make sure it wasn't April 1st instead of the first day of spring... but here we are. JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS Well after Transformers and G.I.Joe I suppose it was only a matter of time.

Harley Fucking Quinn... Agents of T.A.R.D. maybe kinda sorta gets Dethlok and Arrow manages to roll out the Suicide Squad complete with Harley Quinn.

Captain Marvel (with Carol Danvers) would be a prime opportunity for the Marvel Movieverse to assert a strong female lead along with bringing in a healthy slice of Skrull/Kree war. My only problem is that after Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes I now associate the character with Jennifer...

Some of the single episodes lead to 2-3 connected sequences in later seasons. Some of the best stories center around the Clones themselves and you have extended sequences without any Skywalker/Kenobi/Yoda/Windu at all. I'm guessing since they are making a big deal about Korriban being now...

Started the first Stormlight book and am having real trouble getting into it, which is quite unusual as I have devoured his works before. I think the density of proper nouns and lingo is crazy high in this book to the point where I find myself not even caring that I don't follow what...

So filming starts in May and the movie is set "30 years after the end of Return of the Jedi" and will feature familiar faces as well as a trio of new leads. They note that the only person cast so far is R2-D2 (playing himself)

Today's free DLC adds in a Capture-the-flag sort of game in Gnome Mode whereby you have to grab an explosive garden gnome and plant it at the other team's gardens/graveyards and defend until it explodes. As with the other modes this gives some different classes moments to shine, especially the...

The Darth Maul stuff was supposed to be one of the other arcs in Season 6 but it never made it past the storyboard stage. It will be covered in comic form and is billed as the 'finale' of the Clone Wars era of storytelling, although it was never intended to be the end. You can tell from the...

There really is no place for Stormwatch / The Authority in a universe that already has Superman/Batman/the Justice League. Nu52 tried to set up a status quo where Stormwatch took care of the really serious planetary threats while the Justice League were the posers with pretty faces for public...

Triple threat, how do you enable the alt-fire mode that sets the fire spread to be vertical rather than horizontal? Nevermind. It's the aim/zoom button or the left trigger.

Anyone else having lockup/crashes on the Xbone? It almost always happens at the end of a match, going to home screen and then relaunching the game works and it seems to retain any exp I had...but frustrating

Season 6 episode 10 is a very important bit of plot closure and feeds into Episode III very nicely. All the serious fans already "knew" this, but it was good to see it play out and for the characters themselves to piece the puzzle together. I always felt this was a big gaping unresolved plot...

I wish I could get into MOBA games. They seem fun but look like they take ages to master

While I'm glad that Colin Ferguson has work it still burns me up to see Sheriff Carter doing Maytag commercials.

Yeah I am certain that the big push for prominence of the Inhumans in the printed Marvel Comics is directly related to the mutant film restriction. When asked about the Inhumans replacing Mutants in the films the president of Marvel replied: "As it relates to Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver? No...

Sci Fi Fridays was a big deal for me and mine. There was a lot of excitement when they decided to expand it from just original programming on Friday nights to include Thursday and Tuesday as well. Thursday was a bust, but Tuesday really took off anchored by Eureka and open to that brand of...

Fox has the movie rights to Xmen and Fantastic Four, Sony has the movie rights to Spiderman. But Marvel has retained the rights to animated series both on TV and direct-to-video for all the characters and has made ample use of this for their recent animated properties. So they can and do use...

He sure as hell looks like John Constantine. I'm of two minds on the smoking, it has largely been an integral prop for Constantine for years, but it IS only a prop and could be replaced. That having been said "Dangerous Habits" is one of the best Constantine stories and is very much linked to...

Yeah that was certainly a Kree. They had Sif go through a bunch of red herring names of blue critters, but we all know that Kree is it. I know we are supposed to think that May is reporting in to Fury at the very end, but I'm gonna have to go with her being a Skrull. I figure they are going...

Honestly how the fuck has A.I.M. not shown up in this piece of crap yet? Also negative points for not having the balls to use The Enchantress and instead rolling out her younger sister.

Well of course it will hit raiding numbers hard. The knowledge that there is literally NOTHING new for at least 6 months and more likely 9 and even then it will be capped by the complete item reset that comes with each expansion means there is really no point to doing any raiding whatsoever...

I had a subscription active from the time of original launch until a month ago when my last 6mo expired. Always before I had just let it slide because of either inattention or having a gap between expansions that was short enough that it did not align with the 6mo cycle. I honestly believed...

I cant see how this is even remotely a good strategy for a title that is dependent on monthly subs and appeal to mass market casuals. The only way this makes any sense is if their research indicates that enough people are just gonna let it slide and keep up the monthly sub without any new...

Uhhh what?? Expansion released a full calendar year after the last patch of the current expansion? How is that even remotely justified in terms of any rational business strategy?

There seems to be a very large media presence for Titanfall... even the NYTimes has an extensive story on B-1 today about it. This makes me worried to a certain degree

Infamous Second Son is the reason I bought a PS4 so I'm very pleased to see early reports giving it high praise. Had to get the collectors edition for the Cole stuff, I'm still bitter he isn't in the new one

Doing a second playthrough as Jew and it seems much harder compared to Mage although I'm not very far in.

Just read their blog post about health and healing changes with WoD. It seems to make sense from an overall intent perspective, but the notion that healers gearing up = treading water with respect to percent of max health seems fucked from a player progression point of view. Yeah we all know...

Curious that he tells Moira he has no family... was this just a dodge or some indication that the whole hostage situation with Adeline and Joe happened in the time since the island?
