    Bojack Horseman

    I thought this was a comedy, but apparently it's an angsty rom-com, like How I Met Your Mother, only with just Ted and none of the other cast. Didn't hate it, but failed to deliver the lols.

    No, no they are not. The ranged always has an enormous tactical advantage - pulling, kiting, aggro ping-pong, ability avoidance, spacing are just some of the huge differences. The only time they'd be equivalent is when attacking a immobile defenseless spawn like a target dummy. Even then...

    What other options are you thinking of? Two chars equal damage, one long range, one close range are inherently unbalanced. Lower health, lower mobility, helpless at close range, lower sustainability are all things that have been used in various places.

    The Last Ship

    On an action and interesting plot development point, the finale was pretty strong, but really, that has to the dumbest evil plan ever*, it fails to make sense in any way whatsoever. * The bar for this is pretty low - one of the previous record holders was the movie where a secretive order...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    I just had a thought - you know you can stealth in combat as often as you want for 1 ap right ? You don't have to use the vanish skill, as long as no-one is looking directly at you ( depending on sneak skill ). You also took guerrilla, back-stabber and swiftfooted right ?

    Boo. Although if it avoids the second half going to shit, as seems to be fashionable these days, I guess it's worth it.

    Casters usually get vastly improved defensive abilities - for instance being able to attack from range with no danger of retaliation ;p Along with various forms of crowd control. Giving them that AND equal armor and health would probably be controversial. Still, I could see a game where...

    Well, tesla doesn't do shit for damage (also whichever healer ), so if you have no problem surviving something, bringing him is a waste. He's also terrible for arena, so there's some possibilities for mega. Felneus doesn't care what color your guys are though, so the real question is do you have...

    One vendor no-one mentioned so far is the smith in silverglen - if youhe sells unidentified legendary gear too. ( Unidentified is a bit annoying coz you don't know if it's shit, but it means if you have high barter you can buy it, id it and then sell it back for more than the buy cost ).

    Grats. I am not really looking forward to thunder arena, my thunder team are a bunch of useless scrubs. ( I've been hijacking the thunder crystals to feed more useful black/white units heh )

    Aaah, it was the rubies I was missing. Always wondered what they were for - thanks, that should help a lot. ( Despite the clearly unjustified nerf to resist rates last patch ;p ) Agree crafted stuff is mostly junk, but at some levels crafted daggers outscale dropped ones hugely - they seem to...

    Am I missing something ? When I make plate armor with crafting ( metal scraps + hammer ) I get +15% to resists with + to a single stat ( e.g. +3 armor, +1 lucky charm ), and neither of the armor buffs increases the resist percent. Or did you mean you found some legendary armor with 70% resist...

    Well, they are burning off the rest of the season with double episodes, and they've announced like 4 new shows they are making, so cancellation looks like a lock to me. Yep.

    Brave Frontier

    Yes, he has monstrous stats and a lot of fantastic buffs. The only reason he isn't top rate is that a lot of his individual stat buffs have a stronger alternative available. ( Michele, Zelban, don't remember the rec one ). You need to make a spark team to use him as leader - they can be a bit...

    I can't see how? I have a thief and they pretty much wreck stuff. Only thing I would want is some decent aoe. What stats does your thief have? On a pure damage basis, dagger is like a third of 2h axe but hits four times for each axe swing plus the backstab bonus. More importantly though is...

    Muramasa/Foil are great for questing as long as you are fighting stuff that does not hit too hard or live too long. Sometimes you need that extra buffer to stop your guys getting 1 shot, or that extra bit of recovery to keep up with the pounding you are taking. If I used the same team for...

    Malnaplis evolves to felneus, which is one of the top 3 units imo. ( the other two being duel sgx and michelle ). He is extra useful in that you won't need to stay mono blue, you can mix in the best of whatever colour guys you have. Judge based on how many hits their bb and sbb have for best...

    That sounds terrible. I would be super pissed if they added some new orc invasion content and I got nothing for killing them because I had maxxed out orcs last year or something.

    Yeah, but when does it change from harder to win the level to impossible to win ? Surely that's heavily dependent on how skilled you are. I think, from what you are saying, that what you mean is that it's bad design to compound failure, so each time you do badly it makes it harder in future...

    Well anyway, there was some debate about whether buff only units like melchio and tesla decreased the cost of their brave burst when it was levelled, so I figured I'd do an experiment just to verify what I had experienced. Below image is using Aem as leader with a BB10 melchio at the top...

    1:30 more or less, so more than 10% attention would probably be wasted ;p It's ok, and it has tits, I am a little annoyed at the stupidity of the plot though, the chick doesn't know shit about anything and has 200 years of linguistic drift, so the idea of her 'fooling' anyone else there is...

    Empire Online: 100 Greatest Video Games of all time

    I'd imagine it's almost impossible for a game to tell - to know would require that the AI knows the game on a level so far beyond you that nothing you can do can have any effect on it's victory. I don't know of any game beyond noughts and crosses where this is the case with pc hardware. I'd...

    Probably not, given the English captain makes maybe fifteen seconds of small talk before going for the rape in the first episode. Besides, if any feminists are not already boycotting them for spartacus then they are probably not easily outraged.

    10,000th or 100,000th ? Coz at 25,000 all I see these days are squads of five 6* cayennas with muramasas. Still increasing slowly, a few losses for -10, one win for 200 - can't imagine being under 10k without spending gems like water though.
