    Ahh yes okay right. Nasty but pretty much what I expected. ... (final scene) WHAT THE FUCK?!?

    New Overwatch LEGO Line Announced, Coming Soon I mean I suppose we shouldn't be too shocked at this point.

    Fahrenheit 451 (2018)

    Well this was a terrible adaptation of an amazing and amazingly relevant story. I have no idea how you manage to fuck something up this bad, but they did.

    Detroit: Become Human

    Detroit: Become Human comes out this week. I actually was showing the demo to some friends after movie night on Saturday and they actually were shocked that it was a game. One, who is very much not a gamer, said he wanted to come over and watch me play it while he ate popcorn. (I have the PS4...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    TMZ reporting that a director has been selected and the synopsis is "Tensions between the local farmers and a tribe of Sand People — headed by a ruthless war chief — eventually brings Obi outta hiding … and into Jedi kickass mode. " So this would appear to be a western: Retired lawman who sees...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Read the preview for the 'Before the Storm' novel that Christie Golden wrote as a prequel for BfA... I don't see how anyone can look at this and think that the 'War' is simply between two ideologies that are incompatible and otherwise 'grey'. This pretty clearly paints a picture of the Horde...

    AMA Pantheon Developers (OFFICIAL)

    Given the modern expectation for immediately-available fast travel and means to synch up with friends at a moment's notice can you still create a world that has an epic scale / true sense of place to it? EQ and many subsequent games have suffered from the 'rush to max level' which then turns...

    The Expanse

    As I said before it was genius to put the end of each 'book' in the middle of the seasons so that you maximize the engagement of the audience by having season premiere, book climax, start of new book, and season finale during every season.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I did ship combat a couple times but then realized it was just easier to full speed ahead and board them where my guys quickly beat the crap out of the opposing team. Especially since you get your benchwarmers to participate as NPCs As others have noticed I realized that starting about when I...

    The Expanse

    First season was based on a story written by Kris Straub who is a webcomic guy but perhaps better known from more recent Acquisitions Incorporated stuff on Penny Arcade where he is K'Thriss Drow'b

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    The plotline in Deadfire is a lot more coherent than the POE1 plot. I mean I enjoyed POE1, but without the DLC expansions the main storyline is kinda crap. The first game is just a mystery box worthy of JJ Abrams where you follow a breadcrumb trail and then at the end some off the wall...

    Conan Exiles

    Saw this launched and was intrigued...but then saw no magic system :( I know Conan is traditionally a very low magic world and the original MMO probably had way too much magic for the setting, but I really can't get into it if its just Spartacus with Snakes.

    Ashes of Creation

    What else would one use? I suppose Unity based on having seen a few that use it. I am a bit surprised that no one had really opened up a major engine with the various hooks necessary to support various MMO-type functions like gear / inventory / progression etc.

    Quite true. A-listers should also take a lesson from Master Reynolds on the proper application of marketing.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Blizzard has done a good job since WoD of remembering that Draenei exist, heck Valen was even a core part of the Legion plot. The Gilneans have also been embraced mostly due to them wanting to showcase their CGI fur in cutscenes. The seem to have forgotten about the Pandaren though. Other...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I've been playing with level scaling and things were fairly challenging at the start, but after level 12 or so things get really quite easy. I think more than anything else it's the survivability boost you get around that time which means you aren't beholden to manually targeted defense and...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    There are definitely some 'WTF??' items for sale at various merchants. Its like some tanned person standing at their open air stall selling potable water, hard tack, salted pork, cannon shot and The One Ring.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I actually don't mind using the default AI for many of the battles, especially trash battles. It is, however, super annoying how the wizards love to drop fireballs on the front line melee group. Well that and the relatively short range of things means people always end up clumped as hell...

    The Expanse

    We are at the juncture where it's put-up-or-shut-up time for streaming services to put a nail in the coffin of live broadcast. No one wants to watch scripted drama live anymore, they just don't. Broadcast networks still have news and sports within their wheelhouse owing to the immediacy...

    The Expanse

    The true measure of the quality of this show is the sheer number of times I yell "DAAAMN Bitch!" St the screen. For the record we are averaging 5-6 per episode this season

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I actually restarted (I wasn't far along) to undo some of my multiclass choices and also because I felt the urge to take full advantage of the Critical Role voice DLC by making a Scanlan-appropriate main character.

    The Fast Food Thread

    There is a dominoes near me that is a very independent franchise which, apparently, is still using the old old OLD recipe / ingredient sourcing from back in the 90s. Someone brought Dominoes to a gathering and we all gave them a caustic glare until we tried a slice and it was, astonishingly...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I managed to player PoE without ever encountering Pallegina (had no idea she existed until I saw some previews for this game) so I wonder if she will show up for me or not. Then again I'm also curious as to what happens if your Eder or Aloth were dead...who do you get as an early companion in POE2?

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I'm sticking to the main companions as their stories tend to be pretty interesting,plus who could ever turn down the lovablr country bumpkin Eder?!? I decided to multiclass everyone so far which makes for a quite interesting mix of abilities. It's a good thing I did this for my main especially...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Holy cow. I thought the original was very cool, but nearly every aspect of the game system has been improved. Wandering overland is much more sensible and adventure focused without being just trapsing around a map in stealth mode, the combat abilities / resting system makes more cohesive...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I realized last night I had never actually finished the final battle in the original... Was not expecting the ending that I got and also did not realize the extent to which my decisions would impact the world. Not sure if I want to import into the sequel given the sad state of affairs.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So tried the StormSong zone on Beta and the storyline and overall experience was much better...for the first half of the zone. After the 'intermission' the second half was fairly lackluster and featured some of the worst quest geography I've ever encountered in a Razorfen Kraul like area of...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Its always entertaining coming into the class overhaul as part of the expansion pre-season and seeing which of the massive changes to classes you play irritates you the least. I really wanted to run with my Mistweaver Monk for this expansion but it just feels so damn clunky with these basic-ass...

    DC Universe Streaming Service

    Given the Press Release they put out I expect this is more than just a streaming service. I would expect it to include an All-Access 'Spotify' type model for ebook versions of comics.

    Battletech

    I've loved BattleTech for ages since I got the original Battledroids box set for $2 at Big Lots. (Also got the Battlestar Galactica starship combat game there for $1) That having been said, the whole notion of mechs that walk around on two legs and thus are prone to falling down is just...
