    Marvel Universe stuff

    Something like Inhumanity (global release of Terrigen mists) triggers exponential growth in the number of super powered "Gifted" humans. Perhaps this is territory they will cover in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. especially as most "Gifted" types seem to be dangerous. Then at least you could have an...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I really don't see how they can do Civil War without there being a broader base of heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The core point of contention is the registration act and the question of government sanctioned superhumans vs. secret vigilantes. Right now the only superhuman heroes...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    My dualshock controller has had sticking problems with the shoulder buttons which required some cleaning to correct. Very small particulate seemed to cause it to jam up easily. Never had it happen with an older controller so it might be a manufacturing process issue with the dualshock 3...

    Star Wars Rebels

    Yeah I caught that as well. Very Star Toursy with the shuttle craft including the layout and the pilot of the thing. They have next week's episode up on DisneyXD online. For older fans of the original trilogy you may recognize something from next week's episode...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I suspect Icebreaker will have a nerf headed down the pipe shortly. I dont think it was an accident that Suros Regime landed on Xur while they were data collecting for the Auto Rifle changes. Putting a best-in-class example of a given weapon into as many hands as possible is the best way to...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well in any reasonable situation there would be a fairly linear and altogether moderate increase is power as a function of ilevel. However players LIKE getting crazy powerful from upgrades and so keeping a pseudo exponential increase in power is a powerful market retention tool. Requiring...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    So the whole point of the Suros Regime, what with the significant rate of fire reduction when zoomed etc., was that it was an Auto Rifle that had the stability to be used as a Scout Rifle when zoomed. Significantly lowering the crit multiplier on Auto Rifles and crippling the stability kinda...

    Gotham

    I kinda wish this was the Oswald Cobblepot show... His story seems much more interesting than the terrible crime of the week.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Turtle Beach and Astro both make wireless headphones w/mic and you can use the stereo headset adapter for the Xbone (sold separately: Link:Amazon.com: Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter: Video Games) to attach these to the controller and pipe both game and chat audio through the headphones...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The kick-in-the-teeth is not necessarily removing the combat bonuses for professions, but making them completely worthless as a whole. People love the fuck out of transmog shit, so why aren't their Tailoring and Blacksmithing transmog items? 'Enchants' that offer visual effects or perks that...

    Hah nice dig about moon wizards.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The sort of baffling thing is that you really don't want your own profession shop in your garrison. The return on workorders is pretty low and the benefits provided by the shops are mostly redundant with your own skill. So instead of being a master tailor / enchanter who set up his own...

    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel

    But but... high fives!! Borderlands is absolutely a game to be played with friends. It is entertaining on its own, but adding in buddies to the game plus voice chat increases the enjoyment exponentially.

    Listening to my buddy who is ranting about how Icebreaker is crap compared to his older purple weapon. Its painful listening to him.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    So out of my RL buddies who have played Destiny, not a single one knew that there was a Paul McCartney song written for this game. One thought I was making a joke when I mentioned it. I told him to watch the credits (which you can easily miss on the Director) and he was stunned.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I could maybe wrap my head around a reimagining where you had the same basic characters and premise but where the four ghostbusters were gender swapped ala Starbuck. If they end up not being disgraced but ultimately vindicated scientists I will be irked. Hell even if they do it as a...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Slightly longer answer is that when he was created he had blade claws that came out of his hands and that was the full extent of it. Only later did the notion of the adamantium being fused into his skeleton come about as something that was done to him rather than just something that existed...

    The Legend of Korra

    Although the spirit did see her PTSD dark avatar self... so there is obviously more going on here than run of the mill psychological trauma. Was interesting to see her frustration when Team Avatar was off fixing the world and being proactive (and even Kuvira in her own way) while the Avatar was...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Having items revert to their original state should be very interesting given how heavily some people (aka anyone who raided at all, even LFR) used reforging to select for and against certain stats.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There will be some pretty shocked and confused players for certain. Especially doing the MoP content that was not built for the 6.0 game system.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well you get some randomized secondary stats from crafted items which start at 640 and can be boosted up to 655, but yeah nearly all the customization seems to be gone. That seems a bit problematic for some classes since they really do benefit more from one secondary stat vs another. Then...

    Doctor Who

    Is Clara even in the next episode? The written tagline from the BBC mentions "the Doctor and Clara aboard the orient express in space" but she doesn't seem to show up in the trailer or any of the still photos from the story. It kinda makes sense that she would miss a story given the way the...

    Arrow

    It occurs to me that Barry didn't tell Felicity that he was awake... nor did Ollie. I suspect that the events from the end of the episode will distract everyone, but I am waiting for the point where Felicity realizes that Barry is both conscious and has super powers.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Since I had a metric fuckton of ore from the Garrison Mine I decided to copy over my Jewelcrafting Shaman (whom I haven't played heavily since BC, only keeping him levelled up by wandering around and mining / making jewels and the occasional LFR for giggles) to prospect the ore... NOPE...

    Im looking at the new grouping UI elements and I'm not terribly impressed. oQueue and such, even though they are outside the game UI, are much better suited it seems to finding people to do premade raiding...but that is the problem. People who are using oQueue are not the target audience who...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Was looking at the ilevel 680 gear on the Beta vendor and was reminded that LFR gear no longer is part of any tier set and thus has no set bonuses anymore. The stated reason is that they dont want raiders to feel compelled to do LFR in order to complete set bonuses faster and to encourage...

    Arrow

    We saw Ferris Air a couple times in the past, they have been pretty good about making use of the broader DC Universe. Given how the Flash seems to be kicking off quite well I bet that CW is eager to do another backdoor pilot this season. Will they do The Atom or will they instead go for a...

    Arrow

    So the two new characters tonight were Katana (with a husband still alive as of 5 years ago) and Ray Palmer a billionaire genius who likes miniature technology (the Atom) Brandon Routh is pretty freaking awesome. Very funny casting someone who is so tall as the Atom. Shame he got screwed out...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I liked how they took the opportunity to mention to everyone (and especially the lawyers) that Blizzard's powers were "not genetic but environmental" so he is most certainly NOT A MUTANT... his powers came from goddamn mad science. Take that Fox studios lawyer person!

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I always assumed that the Class items would eventually have special modifiers somewhat akin to those that exist on some armor or subclass unlocks. I was pretty surprised when they turned out to be purely cosmetic. There is really a ton of purely cosmetic art assets in the game which leads me...

    I like the idea of Noob Prison island. Certainly had I wasted my boost I would be feeling buyers remorse right now. Maybe just leave the trial boost on PTR at all times and encourage people to go there to sample?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Indeed. Perhaps that with changing the boost from when WoD releases to instant with pre-order they decided not to bother with it... or perhaps the lack of resources to make them prompted the immediate boost? Given how long it has been since they had any content updates I'm pretty shocked at...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I tried balance druid on test and found it to be kinda annoying. Did they not say something about boost-specific questing in Tanaan that would guide players into how to play the specs? Gave frost DK, Ret Pally and Shadow Priest a try as well and am now thinking either DK or Paly. Good point...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    What pains me is that there is clearly the infrastructure there... they have (or at least at one point had) a means to rapidly generate new content and enough art assets to keep things semi-fresh for ages. It really does not seem like it should be months of effort to add in the content they are...
