    Blood Bowl 2

    With elf teams a lot of it is get as many people as possible out of tackle zones at the end of your turn. Basically everybody who is not smashing somebody in the face should take at least one step back and with their high agility baring nuffle being angry you should succeed most of the times...

    SWTOR

    This is why I really liked the trooper one. It starts off pretty personal but the whole process of taking care of that you build to more and more important things and then at the end you and your followers really are havoc squad and the whole last mission is a pretty great culmination to...

    My brain is attracted to horrible movies so it cannot bypass a zombie/ice age apocalypse movie.

    SWTOR

    The smuggler story line was fun although compared to the troopers final story line stuff it was no where nears that epic. I was amused at Gus tano saying something like leave it to you to start an underworld criminal empire and get a good citizenship award for doing it. Overall the smuggler...

    SWTOR

    Funny I found the sith inquis story line the weakest of the ones I have done so far. Not finished quite with it yet but the whole first part is just sith back stabbing, second part is ghost buster episode of sith back stabbing I have to assume it finishes with more random back stabbing.

    Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine

    Amigas were gaming computers back before anybody really thought of making a gaming computer. Good sound card and good video card for fast video. I loved the old pinball game I had on that thing to death it was so much better/faster than any thing else you could get similar to it on other...

    Blood Bowl 2

    Apparently the makers of this posted if you preordered via steam you are getting both teams not just the one you picked. and for other day one purchasers who did not preorder but got it first day are getting lizards for free.

    Big Brother 18

    Yes and as good of a player as she was she had to know it would have been totally moronic of him to pick her to go with him to the finale. Its like austin how are you this butthurt by getting kicked out you can't be that strong of a player and not realize you are the obvious choice to boot.

    Big Brother 18

    I was pretty shocked that steve won and he won over everybody except liz'es auto votes. I have to say he won HOH when he really needed to and voted out the people he had to to survive. A low key game plan but he did what he needed to do when he did it. Liz though in that dress was pretty...

    Blood Bowl 2

    Gah I forgot to check if I could make a lizard man team last night as I was putzing around with bretonians. The lizardman teams are typically pretty nasty. The saurus are all str 4 so you have some seriously dangerous line beasts and their skinks while squishy are all agil 4 so its like having a...

    Blood Bowl 2

    Dwarves biggest advantage is they are all pretty highly skilled so they tend to win even match ups on rolls and have high armor value. So the do tend to lose some games early in a season. But their overall durability tends to mean that over the course of a league play you lose a lot less cash to...

    Blood Bowl 2

    You can do it you just need to form a league and do a solo league. Then you can pick one of the various bowls that are premade or make one yourself to compete in. I was doing this last night with bretonians. The campaign is pretty much an extended tutorial of how to play the game it seems.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Tanks even badly geared ones typically are not an issue for all but a couple LFR bosses. Most I am pretty sure tanks auto attacking could do what you need them to do.

    And most of the corpses just stay where they drop so not only is it a landfill its basically an abattoir of frozen corpses of fellow climbers. I simply don't see the appeal of everest any more.

    Limitless

    Yup it has at least two labs maybe more making it. Honestly with enough supply any of the NZT users would likely go the bradley cooper route of doing research on it to mitigate/elimiate the side effects and to produce their own supplies so its very possible there is a large number of places...

    Everest

    One of the ironic things is become it is becoming so commercial is actually making it more dangerous. A lot of injuries/fatalities are basically getting stuck near the peak standing in a queue waiting your turn to go with the traffic jam of people up there.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The scarlet clockwork fight was pretty fun in GW2. Basically it had 5 MOBA like lanes that had to be defended with limited ability to swap from one lane to the other to bolster a week lane. Once the final fight started you went into an event where there were different platforms that were...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    Yes that is a good point. VW was caught how many others are doing something similar. This seems like a pretty weird thing for such a major company to do but it makes me wonder if it was not industry standard nudge nudge wink wink sure we will pass your emissions tests. I would at this point...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    I don't see them being able to sell diesels in the US for the foreseeable future. Nobody is going to want to do the extra testing to make sure they actually are not cheating again so they probably will just get auto fails on any emissions test as any presumption would have to be they are still...

    Volkswagen gets busted.

    It would have to do some QA they would have to make sure their fix could repeatably spoof the emissions tests or their charade would fall apart fast. So this would have taken a non trivial amount of cost/effort. Going forward can any VW car pass any emission test in the US. Given they were...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think there is some happy medium to be had. But I much prefer the tournament over something like frigging molten core. I think the best designs are like ice crown where enough wings so you can bang out chunks at a time and if you are having problems with one thing you can aim at something...

    Hehe that ledge still exists and there amusingly enough they added a fail rope so as long as one person clicks it it throws a rope from the upper ledge to the lower one that can be clicked on to get to the top ledge for the leaping impaired.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes I have no idea why they got rid of that in WOD. it was a great way to work on a rep without just mindlessly grinding away at reps a la the WOD starting three reps which were pure murder all of the things to acquire grinds.

    Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine

    Yup having multiple boot disks just to make sure you could have the right flavors of high/lo mem needed to run something. Anybody using computers back then needed some pretty decent skills to tweak stuff enough to make it work program to program.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I would agree there was a good amount of dungeons in WOD and they actually are pretty fun as well. The train thing was freaking hard initially one of the harder dungeons I have bumped into in the last few expansions. They just short circuited all the normal reasons you would keep stepping foot...

    Liz is going to have a serious issue simply because she has been riding austins coat tails this far and most of her block is gone except vanessa who is unreliable at best Steve and johnny mac are actually in pretty strong positions at the moment although I don't really see them winning. Steve...

    Guild Wars 2

    Not really a pointless move those got to catch them all skin collectors are in theory where their money stream should be. The ability to mindlessly grind to level 1 get delete character rinse repeat short circuited one of their major potential cash streams.

    Blood Bowl 2

    I think it tries to go to even teams point value wise but if that is not an option it can match higher teams with lowers but the lower team winds up getting a bunch of incentives. Like with my test dwarf team I had lost my first match and had one guy die so my team value was at like 890 or...

    I like the concept of this a bit better than the bard ult worst case is pretty much status quo best case you can save somebody until a tank or somebody can jump in and protect them.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yup and the dungeon gear was even more crap. So basically non real raiders had nothing much to do or look forward to other than bashing old raid content for things that actually look half decent. I really hope they go back to the pandaria style just have them flagged so an LFR set piece bonus...

    One thing to note a hand off is not considered a successful pass I thought it was in earlier editions but in playing last night they don't count which makes sense but still something to note.

    Blood Bowl 2

    I can see that as an issue for sure but playing some games this weekend in the blood bowl 2 beta I have to say I was pretty pleasantly surprised had good opponents of similar skill level and had some good fun chatting back and forth. The match making system seems a lot better than what I recall...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Also as for the dungeons in dreanor you have to look at the LFR. It clearly this expansion was what they were expecting those who were not raiders to do end game. Dungeons were pretty much only to feed people gear to get them ready for lFR. Its about the only thing that makes the lack of items...

    Don't mess with anything involving time this movie is yet another good demonstration of why that is a pathway to madness. And yes its a really interesting concept and a good movie but seriously if you are thinking of making a time machine or something that looks through time DON'T.
