They have always been real could about how the guns work in general. They clearly have an impact and can break objects easily enough, but are more like a supercharged air soft gun when used on humans. The best theory was that they had a highly variable firing profile depending on a decision...

So been playing Gloomhaven.... I think I may have a slight addition issue. I don't even really know why I'm enjoying it as much as I am. In principle its actually a pretty basic game of D&D without a GM and yet....

God damn I love this show... Amos continues to be the soul of the main cast and Wes Chatham's portryal of him as calm yet undeniably powerful is on point.

I feel like the overall plot of WoW has reached a point where it no longer makes sense for the player character to be a player character. It works still as a game if you are playing as the apprentice of your former character or some other conceit but otherwise it demands too great a suspension...

I did notice at PAX that the mage felt... clunky? It certainly felt slowed down compared to Live Legion. I think the time to kill was about the same but it felt like I was spending a lot more time casting things / waiting to cast things. *edit* I know its a conceit with each expansion that...

Are Legendary items going to still be a thing in Battle for Azeroth or will it just be Azurite powered regular armor?

I do like that "Dr Smith" is a true sociopath. Very much a student of how people interact mostly because she seems incapable of such feelings herself. The robot's story and the whole nature of the Xmas Star and how Earth stole the technology for the ship in the first place is the main draw...

Part of the charm of the original was that there was no way anyone would tolerate Dr. Smith and his evil plots never mind leave their kid with him...yet every week that is precisely what they did.. All the flashbacks to Earth and the X-mas star situation that brought them here is rather...

It comes out in that video as well, but when trying it at PAX I was turned off a bit by the animations. Obviously this is early going and the animations are probably just placeholders, but they still felt very much like skating across the world and doing the generic Troll 'pool cue' animation...

Watched first episode, seems decent enough. Cool Bill Mumy cameo towards the end that had me cackling.

Nice start to the season. Thank God they had the summary at the top of the hour as I had forgotten exactly where we left off. Not a book reader here, but it seems as if, just with previous seasons, the season break takes place mid-novel rather than at the end. I think this actually works...

TONIGHT!!!

I love how Legends leans in to the batshit insanity of the premise rather than trying to pass itself off as something more than it is.

The character types, with their specializations, felt more akin to Everquest to me as did the factionless nature of the different races and class combinations. More than anything, however, was a pervasive sense that I was playing EverQuest Next, or what EQNext might have been. The characters...

When playing the game, which admittedly was a very canned scenario specifically built for this show, it was clear that there was intentional interplay between characters that hasn't been seen much recently. There is a point where you encounter a cloud of poisonous gas that needs to be cleansed...

The game looks and feels very 'EverQuest'-y , possibly more so than Ashes of Creation. I too asked about feature creep and I could tell that it was a common refrain because they gave a snappy response along the lines of the posting above. I would say that this game really isn't aiming to be...

This is a nightmare movie for theater operators as you really do feel like a total bitch if you make any noise at all during the film. Now generally you will have already purchased all your snacks before hand, so no foul immediately, but anyone coming to the movie via word of mouth will be...

I do enjoy a good heist movie, and going into it that seems to be exactly what we are getting. If nothing else I really like the dark and gritty feel they give to what I presume is Corellia

This was THE main item and major push for Microsoft at PAX East and the Chips Ahoy Sea of Thieves gaming area was designed as a victory lap... Clearly they thought it was better than it is

At PAX East the number of people buying Overwatch League jerseys and then promptly putting them on is quite staggering. Then again the fact that there is a separate queue area just to get to the Blizzard shop is also mind boggling

From what they have said I don't think they want to impose any particular 'rule set' to a given server but instead want the community to live and breathe on its own. It is interesting how much of the EverQuest Next ideas about self-determined areas and dynamic changes to the world have been...

It was interesting to see Brad and Pantheon over to the side along the wall in the same quadrant where Ashes of Creation had a large booth with lots of demo stations and big decorative set pieces. The thing is that I'm not sure there's much difference between the two projects in terms of where...

Went to the panel discussion. The team seems very driven and would appear to have the necessary skills to get the job done. The actual Alpha 1 won't be until late fall so they have quite a lot of time despite having a pretty stable build on the show floor.

Looks like they are indeed demoing the game at PAXEast Booth #24096. Will report back after I check it out

Local McDonalds is undergoing a major renovation (odd since it was just built in 2016..but whatever) and has switched over to fresh beef for the quarter pounders. Holy crap this is so much better. I just had a burger that tasted like I actually remember McDs tasting in the ancient times.

They are having a presentation at PAX East on Friday which I hope to attend (lines willing). I am hopeful that between this and McQuaid's game that there is something that will carry us forward... I still fear after WildStar's meteoric collapse that we are doomed to a prolonged dark age.

With the renewal of Legends of Tomorrow for a 4th season we will get Matt Ryan back as Constantine full time as he will become a series regular next year. Yay!

That is especially odd given the release on Steam...they could easily distribute such keys right now and the game would unlock at the correct time.

I am very much looking forward to this!

Sadly this person is my ex-roommate and keystone of the whole group as the person who brought people together in the first place.... also we tend to play at his condo since its centrally located heh.

Really want to play this, but our core board gaming crew includes someone who has a personal flow-chart that determines if he will play a game and one aspect of it is that there has to be a definitive winner....which has ruled out other cooperative games like Pathfinder etc. Is there any way I...

With magic being 'off' this whole season I find myself really missing the complex finger tutting we saw extensively in season one especially for casting spells. Really only Julia has been doing any of it and nothing near as complex as what Quentin did in S1.

I will say the game has a nifty look and feel to it. I like how they have used the gaming grid to replicate some of the feel of the old linear party ranking while still making it a more visually active game. It's not really an Xcom or FFTactics sort of tactical combat simulator, but its also...

Christ I swear everyone who bought into alpha is borderline retarded.

The alpha for this came out this week and is also being shown at GDC. Canned 20min-ish chunk of content with premade characters but gives a general feel to the whole thing. I love me some Bards Tale from back in the day, but no way was I high enough of a supporter for alpha access, thus I'm...

Went to a local store today and yeah the initial mark downs aren't that high. Obviously they inventory skews towards the less popular stuff as they've likely had few if any new shipments lately, but the selection was still rather meager. I was actually trying to figure out what I was seeing...

Good episode again this week. I feel bad for poor Dean Fogg having to live through all those timelines... Then again he's a pretty terrible teacher

Ive been intentionally avoiding the thread out of fear of disappointment, but looking at those stream recordings it does seem to be coming along nicely. I was super pumped to see the Enchanter stuff and that really gets me thinking. The heyday of EQ was nearly 20 years ago now and despite...

So they seem to be going crazy with all the new races...
