    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    On the plus side I am getting a lot of work done while playing this game. Everytime I hit a loading screen I do some work in another window and the time flies... While I am enjoying this game it seriously makes me want to punch kittens more often than not. I never ever seem to have the time...

    RIFT

    I had thought things were going well for Trion after the whole Trove business. Was the success on consoles short lived? Unfortunate that nearly everyone was laid off in the process.

    Doctor Who

    I read that differently. At first blush the audience is meant to think that he is anti-black-guy because he's facing Ryan and dealing with Rosa Parks. I suspect that he was actually talking about humanity and that this was just part of his 'small nudges' effort to change the course of human...

    Doctor Who

    There was a white guy, but he was an alien white guy who was an ex-con imprisoned in the same place as River Song and also had a vortex manipulator etc. Basically he seems like an evil version of River Song / Jack Harkness, which makes sense given that Chibnall oversaw Harkness in Torchwood...

    The Haunting of Hill House

    Really enjoying this. I liked Oliver Jackson-Cohen in Emerald City but he's amazing in this playing a very relateable addict.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This really hinges on the numbers they come up with for currency prices of the different pieces and the amount earned from DEing shit vs Weekly Chest. Skew the cost too low and people will bemoan casuals being able to farm low-end epics from dungeons that they DE into currency. Skew it too...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What the heck. Zero Hallow's End decorations in BfA. I mean with how ultra creepy and witch-intensive as Drustvar is I was actually expecting an expanded Hallow's End this year that fed off the current expansion. Instead there's not even a couple pumpkins or even a quest giver telling...

    Starlink - Battle for Atlas, Ubisoft's Star Fox

    So this is out now... Anyone tried it?

    Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

    I will say that in the era of DC and Marvel being flaming dumpster fires of reboot-happy insanity the Archie comics people have their shit together. They go all-in on their weird offshoots without crippling the vanilla line.

    The Good Place

    I saw a theory that seems very credible. Simone, who has been around for many episodes now, is not human. It makes sense that the Good Place would have noticed that some shennaigans are going on and might have sent someone down to keep an eye on things.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Big Buck Hunter Arcade for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Game Details This might be the most redneck game ever, and yes I am aware of Redneck Rampage.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I'm especially fond of the scripted unwinnable fights that make you think you might have some chance of succeeding. That and the existence of certain plot elements which betray the open-choice nature of the game by having an implicit intended sequence. There's one place right now where you...

    Toys R Us -- ruining a company is very lucrative

    I know the world is full of coulda-woulda-shoulda, but Sears actually had a relatively sophisticated inventory system in the late 70s that tied their in-store stock to the catalog and vice versa. Imagine a world where this was continually updated and brought screaming into the dawning of...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I was able to recover my fucked up game after the most recent hotfix actually did fix what the hotfix before that was intended to do... I have subsequently run into several more annoying bugs but nothing that killed the game outright. A few are the natural result of it being such a complex...

    Toys R Us -- ruining a company is very lucrative

    Sears, the Original Everything Store, Files for Bankruptcy Same basic story -- hedge fund buys company and intentionally runs it into the ground gaining profit the whole way down. At what point do we re-examine the nature of corporate 'personhood' in light of the conflict of interest of those...

    Titans

    Watched the first episode (on my desktop in my office instead of, ya know, in my nice home theater) and it has promise. Brenton Thwaites is a very good Dick Greyson. Clearly given his status as a detective in the Detroit police force he is on the final stages of his journey to Nightwing...

    Titans

    Sat down to watch this and it turns out that they launched a streaming service that doesn't support Chromecast... Playing on Chromecast and AirPlay They require a physical Chromecast dongle rather than supporting any TV with Chromecast built in (which mine and most decent smart TVs purchased...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I did look forward to the almost-Diablo-like shift in playstyle that would be afforded once I got a certain legendary. Naturally I never did and ended up with legendaries that were contrary to my preference, but there was always the possibility. Now I can do content hoping to maybe get...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Suramar City That post-release quest sequence of slowly unlocked additional content / plotline elements kept me engaged for a great many weeks in Legion. Between the continually shifting quests in the city itself to the semi-independent challenges like the withered WQ there was a nice chunk of...

    The Good Place

    They are certainly keeping things moving forward. There was really no significant plot eleme take that could arise from the Brainy Bunch going down the philosophical path we already treaded so they just skip forward 6 months and move the needle again into Terra incognita. As fun as the Michael...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Started over because I'm a goddamn psycho who likes to cut himself apparently. Anyway hoping that this time I'll be able to avoid any of the game-ruining bugs and actually get past Chapter 3. I am still really irked that I got to level 10 and then had the whole game shit the bed.

    The most annoying thing about Ranged is the degree to which you are forced into being a turret in a game that is almost entirely now about positioning and movement.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Okay he needs to lay off this YA stuff. I suppose it must sell like gangbusters and keep him rolling in cash. I got used to the pace of getting 2 Cosmere books a year and its looking like there will be nada for 2018?

    The Dragon Prince

    The one minor nitpick I have with the series is that they telegraphed Callum's mage status too far in advance. I mean his default 'costume' has a bound book on a shoulder-strap / holster.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Well the new patch is an utter failure. Not only are the 'kingdom events associated with that threat' NOT removed from the barony but new ones continue to spawn even after the conclusion of the chapter. Furthermore the 'special new barony project' to clear that up takes 60 days during which...

    Doctor Who

    Its almost the 1963 version with a more aggressive percussion section. Someone referred to it as the 'Stomp' theme and its an apt description.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    So I had to disable Kingdom Failure as shortly after finishing Chapter 3 my Kingdom up and failed. I suspect it is due to a very unlucky streak of outcomes that crippled my stability score but that was actually mostly due to having a hard time finding the end to Chapter 3 due to some of their...

    American Horror Story: Apocalypse

    I know it is fan service to have the various seasons merge like this, but the pure 'squeee' factor has been delicious to devour. Especially since they are pulling from the strongest elements of the most popular storylines (Murderhouse and Coven) with a dash of Hotel thrown in for good measure...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They are quaking in their boots afraid that the hardcore delicate flowers will get their panties in a bunch if people are able to upgrade to 370 by doing Emissary Quests, so they set that limit to make sure it was pure sidegrade only. I didnt even bother doing any M+ this past week. I was...

    There were a lot of womyn at work who tuned in who have never watched Dr Who before, so in that sense it was very effective.

    The Good Place

    The big choice was hinted at in the opening part of the third season : alternate timelines. Them not dying has radically changed the timeline of Earth in a super butterfly-effect sort of way. When they become fully aware of what happened they will have to decide if they should live as better...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Boralus already confounds me. The necessary NPCs and services are all clustered at the one dock area,but the city itself is massive and has a ton of shops that look to be meant for the NPCs etc to be widely dispersed. It's as if someone was told to design all new full size capital cities...

    Having someone call Boralus 'well laid out' makes me cringe to think what the Horde city must be like.

    Star Wars Resistance

    Hardcore Star Wars fans already know a good bit of the Resistance / First Order backstory, but this is clearly going to expose more people to it as well as flesh out the details. If you have followed along carefully you already know that the Resistance are seen as extremist nut jobs who...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I really feel let down by the Exalted rewards for these factions. I can't imagine it being possible to get to Exalted status with any of these and still consider a 350 item to be an upgrade. That and the 10k gold each for different colored basic horses is just stupid.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    Love the game but holy fuck it has some bugs. Had a CTD issue yesterday trying to zone into Hunting Grounds. Finally ended up going somewhere else and doing a side quest then came back and everything was fine. I've still had a couple of occasions where the plotline has obviously glitched and...
