That's almost always the case with symbolism isn't it ? I seem to remember some story about Hemmingway punching a critic for some of the things he said about symbolism in his writing ;p

If you know where the GM quests are, some of them turn out to be easier than you'd think. I've been running an all melee party lately for the lols, and managed to get BM promotion at level 14, and that's one of the harder ones in terms of stuff to fight. Took a couple of reloads given the dark...

Some similar stuff to try from memory : Child of Fire - Harry Connolly Fated - Benedict Jacka The Devil You Know - Mike Carey Already Dead - Charlie Huston Bitter Night - Diana Pharaoh Francis Unclean Spirits - M L N Hanover Mob Rules - Cameron Haley Sandman Slim - Richard Kadrey John...

IIRC their original plan was a different bunch each season. I think that had potential if they ended season 1 with Peter vs Sylar in current time, Peter losing control of radiation power and nuking new york. Future Hiro basically fucks Peter over letting him think it's Sylar who does it, but it...

It's been a while since I read it, but Achamian *is* the main character isn't he ? Kellhus only gets a few point of view chapters ? Kellhus is also the villain of the series, although the author doesn't go out of his way to make that obvious at first.

Some patch observations : GM focus bonus has been halved to 200% from 400%. No real impact, melee with focus was pointless anyway. 1H focus has had their crit bonus halved, 15% for dragon orbs. 2H reduced by something a little less, top end is 30%. The extra 100% crit bonus for spells is...

And have take two go 'we don't want your rejects' ? Actually, that's probably exactly what happened ;p

That's the touch of authenticity you get from a female author - where the choice between a violent sociopath who forcibly infected you with an incurable disease that he knows killed every other woman who got it and then gets you to help him torture and kill people and the good looking nice guy...

How bout a marauder, for the 'get over here' on the annoying range casters that pop up all over the place mid-late game ?

I actually considered going with bow instead of endurance for blademaster and using it to equip a shalassa's breath or vampire bow. Wasn't sure if it would proc on melee strikes, but given armor does it seemed likely. Has potential for hybrids with mana suck weapons ( main weapons you'd go...

I said it was tedious, not that it was hard. It not being a threat is a large part of what made it drag on so much. Btw, as far as I could see, pain reflect ignores both celestial shield and membrane. On other notes though, on party makeup: Blademaster - grossly overpowered. Cleave alone is...

Finished this one up just now. Pretty fun overall, but man the last area was tedious bullshit. Either giant pointless waves of trash with damage reflect, vindictive and riposte or 'LOL AMBUSH from all sides! AHAHA all your buffs are dispelled again !' every 4 steps. Sometimes both, just for fun...

Flee the scene ? Not like the truck driver can ID him given the English guy was on top of him.

That guy is awesome, great presence.

Grimrock is all about the puzzles and secrets. They are much more reliant on the player rather than the characters too - spotting loose rocks to click instead of putting up a buff and seeing a giant flashing symbol to show you a secret.

I rechecked and realised I didn't account for the orc racial, oops. I redid a test with all human mercenaries using fixed 1000 damage weapons sword 1168(62) 1752(93) 1.5 axe 1168(62) 1518(81) 1.3 mace 1168(62) 1402(74) 1.2 dagger 1168(62) 1970(104) 1.69 spear 1168(62) 1752(93)...

The guy he is bringing in isn't a suspect, he's the head of a biker gang, he just wants to beat the suspect's location out of him.

I did a bit of look, it's working as expected, it's just your assumption is incorrect - base crit is 100% extra damage, the amount listed on your char sheet is the bonus added to that default 100%. So for your example, the first one would be 256% damage and second 266% - I'd imagine the...

Calibre will convert html to an epub - just save the first few chapters and convert them, see if you like it enough to convert more. I'd suggest it's well worth the effort ;p

Yes. Blood Song is well written and entertaining, but doesn't break a lot of new ground. Way of Kings is epic.

I just finished the serialWorm, and I have to say, I was blown away by how good it was overall. I highly recommend. The start was ok, enough to get me interested a bit if not convinced, but it gets better, and then better, and then Leviathan shows up and shit gets real. It's long enough...

It's from a series of books that include quite a lot of other supernatural elements, but Elena has very little contact with any of the rest of them - she's only the main character for the ones about the stonehaven werewolves, so could go either way.

I thought the after was ok, but most of the main characters seem to be terrible. Diabetes granny rockefeller - zzzz nathan petrelli - still wearing the same suit from heroes, seems to be the same annoying character too crying chick - sad, and annoying, probably no nudity budget jason...

That makes it worse - lead detective meets privately with murder suspect who is old buddy - suspect is cleared, shortly afterward detective receives super expensive gift from ex-suspect. NY cops are banned from receiving gifts from anyone for doing their job, for just that reason.

Wouldn't this be horrible for mining unless the snow is transparent or veins stick up out of the surface ? We'll see I guess. I was hoping they'd do something about the pop-in on terrain and resources, it's my main irritation at the moment - you know, head toward a resource, start mining...

The former, no question.

Well obviously, making a second season would be like making a second highlander movie, it's just a mistake no-one is stupid enough to make right ?

This seems to be a CW 'thing', say what you will about the rest of smallville, the random eyecandy was unmatched in quantity and variety.

This was my main complaint. Mage is just fucking annoying and often useless unless you engage in cheese like surrounding one final enemy and passing 500 turns to regen mana before the next fight. Also you pick up new spells with enough mana to cast them once, and like a 50% chance of missing...

You can use anyone else's stations if you want. Lots of people in t1 have conveniently built them right next to the spire.

On the bright side, the claim marker seems to be working now, maybe I can actually find my claim now lol.

Everything about that raid was illegal, NZ's government is looking at a big compensation payout.

It's a whorehouse - the stringy haired guy owns it, and the grey haired woman is the madam. As for the latter - what, Swearengen got told to go fuck himself and then walked off, saying he was horny was going to go fuck himself ? I think you got got that scene completely backwards - it was...

Yeah, that seems really weird that there is no way to 'flatten' a cube or drag out a line or anything. I'm guessing it must be tied to higher tier tools or I am missing something obvious, but even laying out a flat foundation is an exercise in frustration at the moment.

Assuming action and darker tone - try fate/zero.

Eh ? The merchant chick's best move is 'I'll tell on you to my dad', which was met with 'who the fuck cares'. The rest of the women are whores - where are these strong independent women doing what they want ? ;p

Most staffs are two handed - exceptions are short staffs and the two pieces of telos staff.

Stone warden IMO. They are pretty easy to play, with a good blend of offense and defense and have the best defensive spell in the game ( stone wall ).

Yeah, they are the psionic equivalent of a staff - they all give bonuses to mindpower and mind crit. Some classes have special uses for them as well, like Mindslayer increases range and cooldown on some skills based on how good their telekinetic mindstar is. Also, mindstars come in sets which...
