When they said they were doing a Doom Patrol series I never imagined they would be relying on the Grant Morrison version for inspiration. So crazy and yet so damn good. I guess this is what you do when you have even less network intereference than you get from CW

They really need to do something with these skillmod requirements. Well that and the generally absurdly variant cooldowns.

Anyone check out www.brutalityboardgame.com by any chance? They did a Kickstarter last year and are selling the game at PAX East and I'm tempted to get it if only because it's more big miniatures to paint (ran out of Gloomhaven stuff to paint...)

Well there have been other holocausts since WW2, the whole Rwandan / Tutsi genocide back in the 90s would be an option. Could have Magneto as a very angry Tutsi guy who is outraged that so-called western hero nations allowed this to happen and especially that Wakanda with all its super...

My only reticence comes from knowing that Mikey Neumann (Scooter / former lead writer at Borderlands) probably had no hand in the development of this. I suppose its possible he worked on it before he left the company but his irreverent sense of humor is always what made the game special.

Premiered last night and the first (pilot) episode was written by Jermaine Clement and directed by Taika Waititi. Nearly all the promo material above comes from this episode but mostly from the first act, there's still lots of fun to be had and I can't wait to see the rest of it.

I'll be there opening night advance screening whatever. I actually liked the Last Jedi and only regret that it was Episode 8 instead of Episode 7.5 as there is now an obligation to finish the Trilogy of Trilogies with this next movie.

The Elysian keys are perhaps the dumbest fucking thing I've seen as far as 'loot crates' go. Because you only get 1 a day you are left with a choice: 1) Do a Stronghold as soon after the daily reset as you can in order to have a decent chance of having all 4 perople unlock a chest 2) Avoid...

At PAX East two years ago (Gearbox did not do a presentation in 2018) while talking about their new role as a Publisher and shilling for BattleBorn they also showed off some of their tech demo work which included some obvious BL3-type 'Pandora' assets. Basically they wanted to be able to do...

The spoiler tag in the earlier post gives the 4 new hunters. The older characters return but as NPCs just as the ones from BL1 showed up in BL2

Details have leaked which the teaser above seems to confirm (regarding the identities of the Big Bad as well as the 4 new Vault Hunters)

Apparently you have to exit the game and come back in in order for it to actually display the cosmetic loot you got. That's real simple since the game has so few loading screens.... I feel as though EA got sold a bill of goods with this Frostbite engine as clearly the Ubisoft Snowdrop engine...

So tried the new content. Legendary mission bugged out first time we tried right at the start with the Wyverns. Went back in again and took it down, lots of really big nasties to kill and was a bit of a challenge on GM1 at least compared to the usual Strongholds and Legendary Contracts. End...

Yeah the notes are... extensive. Thank god I am somewhat OCD and decided not to toss all the usless Masterworks in the garbage because nearly every single one of them changed in fairly radical ways. Example: Tome of Precision Was: Increases electric damage and electric effect. Sniper...

I fired up Anthem yesterday for a bit but I didn't play beyond doing the daily Stronghold. My issue now is that while I really enjoy flying around and tossing fireballs from the sky my character is now essentially a flying gunboat that annihilates with an LMG to the point where its stupid for...

PAX East is suffering as its so close to GDC these days. Lots of devs don't want to travel again so soon and the overall show is weakened as a result.

While the game has some big bugs (the skillpower business and the co-op scaling being the biggest) I am still shocked at how complete and well thought-out it is. Its almost like the people making Division 2 learned from what eventually made Division 1 good instead of just starting from scratch...

I was just looking at the PAX East schedule / map and there doesn't seem to be any Blizzard presence at the show this year. Always before they had some sort of panel / announcement with a huge booth containing demo stations and a giant merchandise booth that had a perpetual line around it...

Friend saw it at one of those paid sneaks on Saturday and really liked it. Said it had a lot in common with the New 52 story that ran as a backup in Justice League.

Bortus hiding them around their quarters was amusing. Here's one, here's one, here's one....here's a whole pillow of them.

Been rationing these out and just watched Suits last night. Very fun story and yeah made me think a StarCraft animated series would be a lot of fun. Felt bad for the cows.

What the hell is up with the skill power requirements to get skill mods to activate? Started getting mods at level 14 that required hundreds of skill power (when I had like 50 at most) and now in WT2 I get items that need 5000(?!?) when the best I can manage is around 2k if I only go for skill...

So there's no chance anymore that Michael is actually real is there? I thought it was a silly notion until the whole time travel inventing parents bit.

It's a very thin plot and one that never answers the questions of: 1) Why are humans on this moon? 2) Why do javelins work but computers don't exist and radio is short range at best 3) What is the Anthem? 4) Why do all these people have different accents despite from being in one small area...

On a lark I decided to fire up Mass Effect 1 to see if I was just being overly nostalgic about the Bioware of the past. While the nostalgia does hit hard with the music of the first game the game itself is still as solid as it ever was. Makes me wish they would do a proper remaster and even...

They say anything about the scaling issue when joining friends who are different levels? Its been a total shitshow the few times I've tried both as the higher person as the host and the lower person as host.

https://www.newyorker.com/culture/personal-history/emilia-clarke-a-battle-for-my-life-brain-aneurysm-surgery-game-of-thrones Holy crap.

I don't know if this was a holdover from later year Div1, but the whole special talents linked into off/def/util total values equipped is just freaking brilliant. Adds so much extra dimension to building out a gear set / spec.

The range is actually much more fully featured than I expected at first blush. I find it quite handy to go futz with new builds in the range before I wander out into the street and get annihilated as I try to shoot a gun that can't hit the broad side of a barn.

We are not deserving of such majesty!

So while tooling around at the start of WT1 I got caught in a crossfire between two factions and was pinned down quite effectively. I decided I had enough of this crap and pulled out my Signature Weapon! As the whole color of the screen changed and a semi-Matrix-ish sort of sound played I...

I do think Sonnie's Edge and the response it has gotten, as well as the response to Altered Carbon, indicates there is an audience very ready for a proper Cyberpunk animated series.

It makes sense in a world where you are reliant more on the bandwidth of streaming vs. the need for dedicated, and continually upgraded, hardware.

It also seems as if they didn't get to the endgame which is where the 'story' really starts in earnest. Before that point its mostly just a retread of the setting from Division 1 with new window dressing.

I had to force myself to bypass optional missions and ignore some stuff if I wanted the Story missions to be at all challenging (since they don't scale whereas the optional ones do). I thought I was really OCD about picking shit up until I got the perk that gives you Sword of Omens style...

Well this is interesting... does address the question of how toys come to life.

Just 'finished' the game at 30 and holy mother of end game content... My eyes just went wide at how amazing this concept is.
