I just finished my first reread of the series (cheat codes enabled - skip every single Danny chapter, also skip Tirion chapters in book 5) and came through it liking books 4 and 5 quite a bit more the second time around. Skipping 22 chapters of Tirion/Danny deadwood boosted book five almost to...

Hey, no stealing our frying pan melee weapon that we nicked from pro wrestling that nicked it from the Three Stooges.

The Night Eats the World Zombie apocalypse, guy stuck in his apartment, lots and lots and lots of I Am Legend (the book, not the Will Smith movie), pretty slow, not that good. The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price way back from 1964 remains the best version of the story that I've seen.

I get wanting to relive some of the crazy broken shit of a game but I also think it's reasonable to expect the people setting the game up to try and fade all that nonsense.

EQ1 still puts out new expansions. League of Legends is going to be profitable to keep going until the sun burns out. I quit a fair while ago (game was making me a bad person) but the speed at which the game changed is something that keeps me away. To do anything other than eat dirt I had to...

Does anyone have a TLDR on what that means? I tried reading those patch notes and I'll be damned if I can put it any kind of context.

This is the fifth "Ocean's" movie and the previous one wasn't very good. It was going to be very difficult for this to be some big success. If you've got an all-female cast that's great but to expect that to drive any ticket sales is misguided. Pitching a fit after about all the white male film...

Boy if that trailer isn't a synopsis of the book. It's a shame really, one of the neat little twists early on is Valentine punting the boy and that's just right in the trailer. He's introduced as this super cool Han Solo character with a daughter the boy has a crush on as well as a dog and it it...

It divided the fanbase (and floundered in China) and when Solo came knocking only five months later audiences just weren't excited. Star Wars has gotten a lot of mileage out of the release of its films being an event going all the way back. Solo was not an event. I'm not sure how much blame you...

Do I genuinely believe that Disney paid them to make a comic to try and help the film's disappointing box office receipts? Naw. It's the precision in the comic that I find so odd. There's a lack of authenticity to it.

So were they paid to make today's comic? It's oddly tackles a very specific concern audiences may have (troubled production, low domestic box office) to I guess convince people to go see it?

There better be stop-motion animation and calypso music or I'll write very mean things on the internet. Look the fuck out!

Oh, the friend who had read it dismembered one Midwestern state for another when he was telling me about some goofy scene or another. It was Michigan she wrote about. Michigan. Michigan.

I haven't read the book but I heard that in it Wisconsin returns to a state of pre-industrial barbarism once industry leaves. When the auto plants all closed up shop in the 70s/80s we managed to get by without burning logs in old electric stoves. Rand refuted.

Season 3 was going to be 14 episodes instead of ten. Harmon apologizes several times to the viewer and his coworkers during the commentaries for season three for being impossible to work with.

"Sorry 'bout your dead human friend" made me laugh out loud. I can't see actually going to the theater to see this however.

Saw the thread, figured with all the pages it was an old thread with a new title, nope. Ya'll live some complicated lives goddamn. Also -

During the first day of Velious there was a coordinated effort from a few of the other guilds to focus on ST keys and pool their strength. They did manage to get into ST before Faceless and kill I think two warders before stopping for the night. By the time they got up the next morning Kerafym...

There's too much money in these little pieces of cardboard for China to ever stop trying.

Introduce a ranked format that uses the worlds format exactly. You field a line up of four decks with one ban and must win with each deck to win the match. Paladin's OP? Ban Paladin. Continuing to balance the game around a best of one format when competitive play uses multiple classes and has...

Dear Broward County -

Decking out a bard with fancy weapons, plate, haste etc is a good time but the real bard gear is resist gear. If your resist set is lacking or non-existent that is more important. If you aren't ever raiding and don't care to than whatever is whatever.

If I hang the roll up the cat destroys it. I keep the toilet paper on a cabinet above the toilet. The holder is going remain empty for the next decade or so.

Just a reminder that the season three DVD set comes out on the 15th of May. The commentary tracks in the prior seasons were pretty good. It's about the only physical media I even buy anymore.

If I just want to play some MtG on the cheap I can go and throw 10-15 bucks at MTGO, buy a mess of cards that I find to be interesting, and go rock out in the casual room as much as I want. Playing games because you want to play is an entirely different beast than playing to complete chores or...

Best of one is a shitty format in Hearthstone as well. It's maybe the worst part of that game. To then go and export it to Magic the Gathering is baffling.

How many Kronos do you think it would take to buy the company?

My hunch is that Hasbro doesn't understand that they are entering a mature marketplace with a new product and that they are the underdogs. I think they view themselves as the top of the heap for card games rather than the newcomer for free to play digital card games. Hearthstone is the top dog...

I can't say you're wrong but 200 feels like DOA territory. If their biggest deal is 90 packs for 200 that puts a single digital pack at 2.50 or more. Depending on the set and how patient you are you could buy physical packs for that. With Hearthstone you can buy 60 packs for 70 dollars with...

Drew the cards immediately without giving the players of the game a chance to take five damage? Game loss sir, drawing extra cards! The double reverse asshat hoodwink.

Lands in front rules text facing your opponent.

This is what an Olympic gold medal winning dive looked like in 1948 - This is what competitive diving looks like today - This is the finals from the 1996 Pro Tour Columbus for Magic the Gathering The quality of play is below FNM standards. They're trash. Kiddie Hearthstone ladder...

A single level below even is still acceptable but you rarely get mob levels that are so clear cut. Normally a couple things turn blue, then a couple more, then it's shit and you have to decided to try your luck elsewhere or stick it out a wee bit longer. The premade I started with on LJ blew...

The biggest difference you can make in leveling is having a premade versus not having a premade. If you've got a group of people all willing to play the same amount (mostly) at the same time (mostly) you will level faster than almost everyone else on the server. The biggest hurdles in leveling...

The golems (and draco) clump up when someone aggros CT. You've just got to wait for them to split back up. DA will block Cazic Touch from Inny and CT but it will not block any of the other DTs in Classic.

Skillcoils, skillcoils everywhere.

Why you watching how he walks his dogs, bro?

Deadly Arsenal really needs to put the weapon into your hand given that it costs six, is sometimes going to do 2 or 3 damage, and does absolutely nothing if your deck doesn't have any weapons left. It's only going to take one game where you draw all your weapons and then draw this before you...

Alright, buy a couple of these - Challenger Decks Lists These decks are the closest thing to a catch-up mechanic that Standard has. They have an MSRP of 30 dollars each with the mono red deck selling for about 10 dollars above that. I'd say buy that one or the Vehicle Rush deck and then go...

Darius looks to be very good. He's a piece of removal with value attached in addition to some heavy upsides if he sticks around for even a little while. The hunter legendary is pretty cool and the effect is powerful but it's not doing anything that the class wants to be doing. Maybe there's a...
