    No, not really. Also /sadface - I got 1 skillup out of 47 knights. And I thought 47 was going to be way overkill, sigh, back to the farming.

    Because you have a dark team but not a light team - leaders that give 2xhp or 2xatk to dark monsters will give neptune 2xhp or 2xatk if his sub is dark, but not if it is light.

    Along those lines, change neptune to dark instead of light, having his poison available will make a lot of stuff muuuuuuuch more practical.

    The Wolverine

    The earnings of HBO shows aside, I have bad news. This movie was bad. All the good action was in the trailer, the rest of it was angsty moping or blurry shakycam to indicate that getting shot actually hurt that time. It also had the stupidest evil plan since the mask of zorro. The 3D...

    And is the most successful thing that HBO have ever done. That must mean it's awesome right ?

    I have a huge backlog so went pretty easy this sale. Dishonored Dust Recettear Sword of the Stars I've only played Dust so far, and it's probably worth what I paid for the lot of them, so that works out well ;p

    Yeah, genkibowl sucks, the skydiving was the least fun bit of the entire game for me, although the murder car was pretty amusing. The alien invasion movie one was pretty funny, and had decent story, the alien guns are kind of lame though. Trouble with clones was pure awesome ;p

    Yeah, that one is a must-have for the obsessive compulsive - having the ability to autosort all your guns and ammo and display them nicely on wall racks, the armor/costume dummies, etc etc. It has a few balance altering options that provide extra convenience, but they are controlled by separate...

    Terminator Genisys (2015)

    Yah, I wish they'd kept the original ending, 'the studio wanted audiences to leave on a happy note' is the most bullshit excuse for butchering an awesome ending ever ;p

    Out of curiosity, what's a theoretical 0 stone clear of legendary earth dragon ? As far as I can tell, any team that can do 100k hits to clear round 1 can't survive the boss hits.

    Dresden Files

    Really funny thing about Codex Alera was that it was the result of a bet. He was having an argument with some guy about whether you could make a good story with a lame idea, and Butcher bet he could do a good story with any two lame ideas of that guy's choosing - he chose Pokemon and lost Roman...

    Yeah, it's a pretty good 4X, it is built in a terrible engine though, so has problems with weak graphics, memory leaks and shitty late game performance. I wouldn't recommend it at full price, but it's not hard to get $10 worth of value out of it if you like that type of game at all.

    I am not sure if you realized, but you can lay traps with any of your characters during the build phase and then play with a different one ;p Using the same tower setup every level is also outrageously wrong, but fair enough if you only played lower difficulties/levels. Regardless, don't get...

    Dungeon Defenders - 682 hours player Orcs Must Die - 14 hours played Orcs Must Die 2 - 8 hours played Dungeon Defenders has a metric shitton of open ended content built on third/first person action plus tower defense, backed by a multi class levelling/diablo loot collecting. OMD is pretty...

    I haven't played in ages, but my main irritation was that the campaign has no carryover other than unit unlocks. Each island is the same game over and over. I think they missed an opportunity there, I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it had a persistent hero or whatnot, as it was I got bored...

    Finished mythical with neptune/green odin and siren/echidna/rainbow keeper/hades team. Took 4 stones, all on Hera, while zero stoning it is probably possible you'll need crazy good luck - 9k heal per turn is a lot, a single bad round or fumble is instant death. She used her 'normal' attack...

    Oh good, I was beginning to think that even Sean didn't think anything was good this season ;p The only one I've watched so far is is Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi - it didn't grab me as great or anything, but interesting enough to keep watching I guess.

    Pacific Rim

    Not even remotely close. There's a heap of fantastic action. As a movie overall it was only decent - it's no dark knight or avengers. As a robot fighting spectacle though, it is 100% top notch. All of the transformers movie's action scenes combined wish they had even half the impact. It's...

    For elf/human/dwarf max hp. Mage : 32, 40, 48 Priest : 40, 48, 56 Warrior : 48, 56, 64 The skills are an interesting mix - dwarf has probably the most interesting ones, where you dodge an attack and then take that attack into your hand, although elf has lots of movement shenanigans like...

    I went with dark neptunex2, green odin, horus, amaterasu, hades. It went pretty well, other than round one where I got 4 light ninjas and got beaten down to 1k hp in the first round by their pre-emptive attacks + regular attacks. I didn't go with dual dark hades because, um, heh ;p Last boss...

    That actually bugged me a bit with the randomness - two attempts not getting any of the armor destroyers until like round 10 and losing badly, one attempt getting it on turn one and blitzing them.

    Soo - race and class discussion ! I went with the boring combo of dwarf fighter, human priest, elf mage. I am seriously wondering if I would have been better off swapping the races for fighter and mage - my dwarf spends most of his time trying to get into position and/or chasing things...

    Yeah, what Sorrows said - also make sure to keep an eye out for other archangel lucifers and invite them to be friends. Also keep an eye out for people who run loki or persephone as leaders, that lets you get a bit more dps for when you don't need the survivability of dual archangels, and try to...

    No, it doesn't. Some of the storylines are much easier to follow, but in terms of the complete thing, a large number of people still weren't sure what had happened immediately after reading the last book. Some people have trouble following a series for several thousand pages when they still...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    As a heads up for anyone that backed original sin at the $40 level, you should have an invite to the dragon commander beta. Dragon Commander is their non-kickstarter game that is coming out in the next month or two, it got thrown in as a kickstarter reward as well. It's kind of a cross...

    Magic DOTP 2014

    That's already been done, but it doesn't help you - there's a random seed tied to your usename or something like that, so when you get a new deck it will have the same cards as the first one.

    Have you watched Index ? I am finding railgun a little distracting, given it's mostly a recap of stuff that already happened, mixed with stuff misaka did that had no impact on the resolution.

    What book did you just buy?

    The Black Sun's Daughter series by MLN Hanover - tried the first one out and found it very readable, ended up getting and reading the rest of the series. It's urban fantasy tending a bit toward horror, mostly about demons and demonic possession. I found this series a great read overall, and will...

    Roguelikes and Roguelike-likes

    Personal opinions and whatnot aside, that claim struck me as a little outrageous. Crawl skills are stuff like fighting, swords, shields, dodge etc, which give passive multipliers and are the same across every 'class'. ToME has more interesting skills in any one quest unlockable skill tree than...
