    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    After running a few heroics and mucking around with the dps specs, windwalker actually takes my award for most improved - WW just didn't work for me in any way in WoD, but the Legion version was a lot of fun. Storm, Earth and Fire sucked steaming balls, having it as a generic dps cooldown which...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I figured it might be a scaling issue, so I tried out tree and resto shaman ( tree is roughly the same ilvl, shaman is 30 higher ), had no issues with either of them - the amount of tank spamming you can do is like an order of magnitude higher on both of those. In fairness, it wasn't easy on...

    Dark Matter

    Yes, there are no Shyamalan or Lost shenanigans going on. The crew starts the first season with their memories having been wiped, but all of them know who they were originally by the end of the first season, and none of the backgrounds are particularly shocking.

    I heartily approve of the events of the last 5 minutes ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Sure, the basic idea is relatively easy to follow, just the practice doesn't seem to match up there - when the first big enemies show up in proving grounds, it just doesn't seem possible for me to put out enough healing to keep the tank alive. There's no trouble with atonement on him, but the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hmm, gave my various alts a try out on the PTR. My initial concerns on over-simplifying seem to be pretty much unfounded, the trees let you add a heap of complexity if you are so inclined - the choice of passive vs cooldown vs extra ability actually made for some interesting choices. It'll...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He is also obsessing about it in the visions from the house of the undying. The whole 'dragon must have three heads' business.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You would have to assume so. Besides, we know for sure she murdered Frey's kids, carved them up, baked them and served then to him. That is some next level serial killer shit, whacking some random kitchen maid barely even rates on the morality meter. It explains jaqen's smirk at her 'fuck...

    Silicon Valley

    It's not the UI, the whole concept is pretty flawed for what they were using it for. It's like the bastard child of TOR and Megaupload, and would have run into the same problems - technically some creepy old pervert is storing his kiddy porn on your mobile, and you are using your mobile data...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Too clumsy to get the meaning in to use it as a subtle clue maybe ? I mean how would a scene explaining what it meant even work without being a gigantic huge "CLUE!!! CLUEEEEEE!!!" flashing light ? It's not just Cersei though, everyone in the series fucks up prophecy. At the rate of epic...

    Really ? I don't remember Sauron having any background or motivation in fellowship beyond being a dick.

    I didn't find anything, although there's a few random entertainments that pop up in the main room, try hitting the guy with the lantern with a fireball ;p

    Lol that church fight. That is some awesome shit right there. "That's a combination of rubbing alcohol, coffee machine descaler and some shite I found dripping out the back of the air-conditioner..." fucking lol.

    What did you just read?

    Time for another roundup I guess. The Three-Body Problem- Liu Cixin This was pretty different, apparently translated from Chinese. It's a fairly epic science fiction where first contact with an alien race is made by a unwilling worker at a Chinese experimental military site. I enjoyed it...

    Hmm, any Vive users should check out Waltz of the Wizard - it's essentially a tech demo, but it's free and it's a *very* good tech demo.

    That was a good call, if nothing else the scene at the end was pretty damn good.

    Virtual Reality

    No issues here, Steam version. I've had a few times when apps stop launching on the headset, usually fixed by rebooting. I blame the bucket of background shit that Oculus runs. In answer to previous discussion - I don't think the Rift has a significant advantage for seated only stuff, it's...

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    Quicksilver's bit was fun, the last fight was entertaining if a bit too anime for my liking*. The rest of it? Boring. I actually considered walking out, which is a pretty rare occurrence. Also, psylocke's costume actually did look pretty fucking ridiculous. That's not a SJW thing, angel...

    Ok, as an update - Project Cars is really good with rift, and I don't normally get much out of racing games. If you are a fan of racing games already I can see that being a pretty big draw. As for the vive - Cons : Setting it up is pretty damn painful - Rift was plug it in and point the...

    Overall I was sort of disappointed in the rift, but porn was actually one of the high points, though there were a lot of frustrations getting it going - there's no standards that I've seen, so there's a bunch of random players, some of which work with some stuff, some of which work with other...

    It's worse than that - 5 years to exactly where she was when you first met her, but with 100% less gratuitous nudity.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's almost all about things that didn't happen in the series - Willem Darry and Paxter Redwyne were both cut. It's also originally a dream sequence - people just don't talk like that normally, which isn't an issue for a fever dream, but seems odd for a literal vision.

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    In random good timing I just finished reading Renegade by Joel Shepard last week. That was very much in that line with that and I thought it was pretty good. Probably the biggest writer in that space is David Weber's Honor Harrington series, sometimes referred to as exploding spaceship porn...

    There's no gravity, you can't generate thrust?! This is not exactly what you would call a show with a lot of thought put into it, but that was so wrong on so many levels it hurts my brain.

    I liked the book enough to read the sequels, but I thought the show was much better.

    Clark has spent like 75% of the series bleeding from the face or head. The black blood is something like nano bots, they had a bunch of tubes of it in the commander's briefcase, but didn't show if they are still there in present time. ( it was filled with cloth, couldn't tell what was in...

    Eh, it made even less sense in the show than in the book. Listening to crazy hallucination guy about how it's impossible to change the past immediately after conclusively proving that you can makes no sense at all.

    Tastes vary, but I would say no. A huge percentage of the second book is tea parties. No, seriously, literally tea parties.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    This movie was pretty awful. 6/10 for a comic book fan maybe. The best action was the flashback to man of steel. After that it's just a 2 hour long drag of emo moping, repeated slow motion dream sequences and ominous music until the climactic muppet fight. The ending was particularly...

    The implication there was that Axe got him to do an obvious illegal trade solely so they'd pick him up and try to turn him. Note he wasn't particularly upset or surprised to be have the police raid his house in the middle of the night.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    In pve ? Nothing. For draft pvp ? The cost of the draft ( $1 + 3 packs which you effectively keep ) For constructed pvp ? Cheapest one I have seen with any success is about $24. It has the general open market problem of supply and demand though - when someone has good success with a cheap...

    Maybe - the original commander presumably didn't before she started injected herself, and they did linger for a while on the suspiciously convenient briefcase, with all it's spare vials of nano-goop.
