    I think EW enhances ShB, though. It helps you understand character motivations more, especially Emet.

    The pay is a byproduct of the cred. Kind of like when the Patriots had Tom Brady, they could get top talent to sign for pennies on the dollar, because they knew it would boost their chances of being in a Super Bowl winning team and/or they could boost their own value when they inevitably left...

    Well for Germany, you still had a number of people in the Wehrmacht who still prescribed to the traditional European rules of war. The Imperial Japanese army you had a whole slew of issues. Take the racism of the SS, and combine it with a warped Bushido code and massive abuse of their...

    He didn't let him go. Frank went into the store to get some weapons and stuff, then the guy offered to sell him some of that shit. Then Frank closes the curtains on the front of the shop or whatever and while they don't show the act, it is pretty implied he kills the dude.

    Best type of telescope to put on the moon would be a radio telescope on the far side of the moon - the moon itself would act as a natural barrier to filter out interference from Earth

    I mean 1st Marine Division you could do from Guadalcanal through Okinawa technically (like Pacific did), but the 1st got decimated during Pellilu badly. My grandfather was wounded 1st day and then even more seriously wounded and put into a coma on the 3rd day. He was convinced he wouldn't have...

    Band of Brothers

    For The Pacific, they wanted to touch on different battles, but they didn't involve the same divisions, so it split things up. It wasn't garbage - I think it works better if you think of it as a loose anthology vs. a cohesive story. One thing I did appreciate is the fact they did try to...

    BoB had the advantage of following a singular group of people, so it was easier to create a singular narrative arc Pacific is split up because it follows multiple groups of people in different campaigns at different points

    When retail WoW launched in 2004, they had limited boxes as well. I remember it was a really hot holiday item and if I recall, there wasn’t a large product supply until right around Xmas or shortly thereafter

    Pacing is fine if you just do MSQ and flight path unlocks. I hit 90 on my main right towards the end of the final zone. If you're doing roulettes and shit, then ya you will outlevel

    Ah I found it for US. Apparently stuff from people discharged over 62 years ago is more or less public record and you can get it from national archives for a fee. I’ll have to look into that, thanks for the idea

    My grandfather had some great stories about Australia during WW2. He always wanted to go back and visit, but never got the chance. He told one story on how he and some other marines were out on the town and missed the last train/transport back to the base. So they went to a local fire station...

    It is, but part of me wonders how much that will impact bots the most. If they could lick the bot problem, that would free up 100s of slots at any given time no doubt

    I’m actually kind of concerned that some of the themes/scenes in EW will hit Asmon hard emotionally, especially the aftermath of one of the trials

    It’s cost effective to these dealers. You use small quantities of a cheap, but potent drug to boost the impact of a more expensive drug, so you have to use less of the more expensive one Take street variety of fentanyl as a recent example

    Interesting, Non Political News

    Pure you can’t. What they do is try to cut product with trace amounts of these drugs to boost potency. But because they are so potent, it doesn’t take much to push the street drug into the lethal range. Or if the user assumes the heroin/cocaine is “normal”, they might take more of it and...

    They're also pretty big on keeping all server setups in house in terms of the teams vs. outsource, so I suspect that is for similar reasons

    I do wonder if that will even make a big dent. I presume the majority of Oceanic is split between JP and NA. Isn't Tonberry pretty much the unofficial Oceanic server?

    There are major downsides to most cloud servers. Physical servers you can allow more people in a single location and not melt your performance. WoW moved to cloud based shit a while ago and as a result, if there are more than 50 people in a single area, it starts to act like shit.

    Samurai changes feel really good, especially for AOE. Before with AOE, it was clunky because you had to build your buffs using single target, then work into the AOE combos. Now you can just go straight into your AOE combos and get the buffs doing just that. Plus with the new level 90 skill...

    Yes. Keep in mind they don't exist in a vacuum, its not like they are the only people needing stuff that uses semis. Same reason car lots at dealerships are like half or 3/4ths empty

    I would disagree. Don't forget that Duarte & friends were basically helping bankroll Marcos' whole thing as a distraction and as a tool to make Laconia a thing.

    Chris, you're forgetting that the game heavily encourages leveling other jobs. Slowing shit down XP wise would discourage that. As is, the XP gains were perfectly paced so that by virtually just doing the MSQ alone, you could play a single job and reliably hit the XP milestones needed to...

    Finally finished the MSQ. Really nice wrap up for the main story that started almost 10 years ago. Story spoilers - dont click if you haven't beaten the game or care at all about story spoilers.
