    Brave Frontier

    That xmas unit is such bullshit - incredibly overpowered unit for limited time for 30 gems a summon ? That's a new low for money grubbing.

    Grim Dawn

    Yeah, two of them dropped from the cultist guys outside the locked door. That end boss is kind of crazy there yeah - not enough to have ludicrous hp and near instant kill ground aoe, but also has to have pets that debuff and snare ;p

    Grim Dawn

    I did a level 21 secret area at 14 with shaman - I was kind of surprised to find that the exp you get for that is way worse than just killing regular stuff. Got a really good sword off the last boss, which is sadly useless for a shaman ;p

    What did you just read?

    I use amazon's newly released recommendations list. You have to put a bit of work into putting a list of stuff you like, which is a downside, but it's 100% on giving new releases on authors you liked, and has a reasonably good hit rate on related recommendations.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Frost has a rotation which is basically whack-a-mole so it depends if you like that kind of thing I guess. Legion looks to be making it less RNG-tastic by having killing machine only apply to obliterate, so you can never use it up on the wrong thing.

    Grim Dawn

    Hmm, gave this one a go - did shaman, kind of fun with the insect swarms and lightning and such. Anyone got any tips on the crafting stuff ? Adding it to gear seems pointless because of how fast you replace it, but I am not sure if the early craft items are worth anything in the long run -...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For legion ? DK I think - death strike is being changed to use runic power instead of runes, so your dps doesn't go to hell if you spam it when levelling. Given how ass all the rest of the melee self healing is, I would not be surprised if they make death strike blood only though.

    Yeah, released first episode early as a preview.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Probably the main thing that changed is you can now buy a month's gametime with gold - ~33k ish at the moment I think. It's pretty easy to get 33k gold in a month if you play a lot, so the $15 shouldn't be an issue. The biggest gameplay change is that mythic dungeons have a chance at up to 5...

    That would make more sense, but I saw nothing to back that up.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    If anyone seriously thinks Phantom Menace was better, I'd be very surprised. In my opinion it did everything better than a new hope, except for originality. If it had come out first, there would be no question it was better, but it was just too similar. Overall - very good, but falls short...

    The Expanse

    I was kind of expecting walking dead syndrome - i.e. a fantastic pilot that immediately drops to blah. I'm very glad to be proven massively wrong on that one - that was fantastic. No more episodes til jan sucks ;p

    The Expanse

    I am almost certain the two authors split up the view points and Daniel Abraham did Miller. He is utterly believable and kind of a horrible person but you still really empathise with him. Other guy will have done Holden, he has a lot less experience, so Holden is basically a good guy but...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Probably - making an entirely new set with different effects because 'we don't want raiders to want to do lfr' is pants on head retarded, as seen by the complete 180 on valor.

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

    Plat is 100 to the dollar pretty much - if you are selling the code directly you should be able to get pretty close to that. Last I checked, gax and ozawa AA run around 2k plat ($20) and portension $6-$10. At the moment mercs don't do anything so the only people buying them are collectors...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Might be me, but I found early gearing shadow to be the worst dps class to play - rotation boring, no aoe worth a shit and dps awful. Seem to be great at high gear though, maybe scaling, maybe I just suck ;p Leveling wasn't an issue though - there's that glyph? ( maybe talent ? ) that makes...

    The Leftovers

    Everything from the end of the previous episode was seriously unexpected. I assumed they'd go with the same level of cock-tease from season 1, but apparently not.

    LOL at the pocket horse for prot paladins. I concede style points there 8) Brewmaster seems to be completely reworked from what it is now. No guard, no stagger mastery, ox as a talent etc. 30% to reset keg smash on tiger palm is pretty crazy though - brewmaster is clearly an early pick for...

    Joe is probably the best actor on the show IMO - he always seems really genuine, especially when he's finding things funny - made me think about how unconvincing most laughing is in tv series.

    Who would win?

    It doesn't need to walk up to him, it can just shapeshift into the floor and wait for him to walk on it ;p Although for more thematic appropriateness, it could just time travel back to before he was born and kill his mother, it's a flawless plan that could not possibly go wrong.

    I think you probably lose the right to argue self defense after spending several days tracking them down and then breaking and entering before confronting them. I mean, without superpowers it's "He attacked me last week, so I hunted him down, kicked in the door and shot him in the face, pure...

    The Leftovers

    The first episode was completely unlike the previous season, and as an added bonus had more tits than all of season 1 combined. The second episode was like a flashback to take it up to the first episode and was more of the captain's random crazy shit from season 1. If I hated season 1 I'd...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    I liked it, but thought it was not one of his best. Did not enjoy it as much as the stormlight ones. Probably on par with the latest reckoners IMO. I did get to feel a bit smug when I found I'd nailed the major plot twist several years before he actually wrote the book though.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    With Bobby K in charge, they are far more likely to drop mythic than to drop lfr - it's a fuckload more work to make 5% of the playerbase feel elite.

    I thought the objects were pretty cool, but the retardation of the main character is hard to deal with - the 'omg I might accidentally touch boobs' scene was almost physically painful.

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

    Undisclosed terms means you can't tell for certain, but given Hasbro's original demands included them handing over all the kickstarter money, it seems safe to assume that Hasbro lost their shirt on this one.

    Minority Report

    I doubt you will be disappointed - the pilot oozed excessive costs and wasn't all that good - I haven't seen any pilot more likely to get cancelled since Almost Human*. * Not cause it sucked, but because the cost for the pilot was obviously absurdly high for the number of viewers they...
