    I did good enough to win a potion bottle... Seriously who gives out glass potion bottles at a convention???

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Played this. Its as goofy as you would expect from something that is Bravestar Online with Korean flair but I found it enjoyable. Is it a long term addiction game? Nah. But I'll probably play it for a while just for the hell of it.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Played this on the show floor. I went into it thinking "eh this looks like crap...but there are no lines so why not" and then I ended up playing it for a lot longer than I intended to. I dont even like Marvel comics that much... It was just fun.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I have played it after waiting in line for what felt like half the day (it was actually more like an hour). Verdict : underwhelming. The cinematic trailer hanging from the ceiling and blaring out across the show floor drew a lot of attention and was quite the eyegrabber even it it was...

    Hearthstone

    I was underwhelmed at the launch of this, but I did decide to reserve judgement until playing it. I have now played it and... its not too shabby. It most certainly is a trading card game and if anything I would have to say it felt like the Everquest card game that you can play from inside EQ...

    Gavinrad's Mass Effect 3+ Thread

    Played the Citadel DLC so I can have experienced it all before the panel discussions this weekend. Pretty amazing love letter to the whole trilogy. Was great having all the characters back and doing stuff and the whole apartment and party, while a bit corny, was nevertheless really fun. Shame...

    StarCraft 2

    Many of the missions seem to express any challenge through the achievements. If you dont care at all about the achievements the missions just become silly easy.

    Gavinrad's Mass Effect 3+ Thread

    There is apparently a Mass Effect 3 writing panel discussion at PAX East this weekend. Sadly they frown on bringing weapons to such things.

    DC Nation (Green Lantern, Young Justice, Teen Titans Go, Beware the Batman)

    While I was mildly okay with the chibi style for the New teen titans shorts in DCNation this new Johnny Test style Chibi they are using for TTGo seems... bad.

    StarCraft 2

    Valarian and Anduin being nearly the same character is also a bit meh.

    DC Nation (Green Lantern, Young Justice, Teen Titans Go, Beware the Batman)

    Cartoon Network can eat a dick. I suppose there is some hope that an alternate medium will come around and commission more episodes, clearly they had a larger arc in mind

    StarCraft 2

    My buddy wasn't sure if he just completely forgot the plotline or if it was retconned... I let him know that in this one instance he was not actually crazy and that most of this grand story was being excavated directly from Metzen's anal region.

    StarCraft 2

    Nova is SOOO bitter that her game got cancelled. This was different from WOL in that you never play as the other two races and other than zeratul doing his best ninja Merlin impersonation you dont even hear from the Protoss other than as cannon fodder.

    StarCraft 2

    Well I tried unplugging my ethernet to force offline mode and... no lag. So apparently I was getting server lag from battle.net even when playing solo vs AI

    StarCraft 2

    Anyone else having a problem with the game lagging? Never had any problem at all with Wings of Liberty but I havent played it in a long long time and now the game periodically slows to a crawl for what seems to be no reason whatsoever. It is as if I am playing with someone who has a horrible...

    SimCity

    All of this HAS to be the result of their servers being completely overwhelmed. The whole point of the Glassbox engine was to have distributed computing take the heavy lifting of complex pathing decisions and thereby allow the game to make use of a ton of these 'agents' to simulate every aspect...

    DC Nation (Green Lantern, Young Justice, Teen Titans Go, Beware the Batman)

    I am so angry that Young Justice got jettisoned for lack of toy sales. It is so far superior to the actual product of DC Comics these days its not even funny. I can only imagine what they had planned for a Season 3 if they had gotten one. I somehow suspect it would have involved the New Gods...

    SimCity

    Hmmm while it seems you can play for awhile with the Sim City servers down and then later synch, you cannot change to different cities in the region (since that requires a synch with the servers) which obviates most of the cool features of an interrelated economy. Oh well, these are poor mining...

    SimCity

    I made a private three city region to play around in, turning one city into a bedroom community for the other two. Right now I'm at a point where I need to level a large chunk of city 1 in order to focus on industry and exports there, but I think I need more regional mass transport from the...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    Crucia is still alive in a new body, so can still have to deal with her again I am sure. Beyond that it seems clear that the Infinity Gate will be opened and that leads to the other planes of existence. How that manifests in the middle of an expansion is anyone's guess though.

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    Well they have already taken the series into very dark places as well as having storylines that are tangential to the actual plot and yet handled well. They have set up Tarkin as a serious badass and so a post-Clone-Wars series that dealt with Bail Organa, Palpatine, Tarkin, etc. could be...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It took me a couple days last week once I was 90 to get 460 for LFR and then I was able to get to 470 for the Heart of Fear / Terrace of Endless Springs raids this week. Running a Warlock up now and since queues are much longer Im actually questing a bit in Outland. Boy the burning crusade...

    Lorewalker Cho is probably my favorite NPC currently. The voice acting and writing for him is truly excellent.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I got my Monk to 90 and maxed out his Valor and LFR stuff that same day (cannot for the life of me get to 470 ilevel for the second set of LFRs this first week) Now levelling up a Warlock and exploring the zones I missed out on. The new Badlands was actually pretty good, nice mixture of epic...

    House of Cards

    We watched season one of Homeland and found it.. wanting. Fired this up a couple days ago and am already at episode 7 and loving it. I never really thought much of Kevin Spacey before and now I do so he was very wise to have poured himself into this as deeply as he did. Corey Stoll is also...

    DC Nation (Green Lantern, Young Justice, Teen Titans Go, Beware the Batman)

    Jesus Fucking Christ In one goddamn episode the Young Justice writers managed to reboot Apache Chief, Samurai, and El Dorado. Three characters that were complete jokes invented for the 1970s SuperFriends show and they made them cool in a way that the DC Comics New 52 dipshits only wished...

    Olympus Has Fallen .. (White House Down)

    Jesus. Have the balls to show a more reasonable scenario : bunch of fundamentalist Texas / deep south nutjobs in the military do this as a coup and replace the whole Situation Room international morgan freeman stuff with an internal Pentagon witchhunt to see how deep the junta goes. What do...

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    Cartoon Network had their "upfronts" today (they always synch theirs with the New York Toy Fair owing to where their bread is buttered) and Clone Wars was noticably absent from the list of returning shows. I'm guessing that Disney is gleefully yanking it over to Disney XD.

    SimCity

    The true 'city' really is the Region. Each of the individual maps can and do share various services and such with others in the region and are not even remotely intended to be standalone. The best example would be New York City. You would have one map for each of the 5 boroughs plus places...

    You can upgrade streets and avenues. The only thing you cannot do is change a street into an avenue.

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    Based on all the comments I went looking on Amazon and the game shows as shipping in "1-3 weeks" so apparently they burned through the entire stock of it. None of the local brick and mortar stores carry it naturally.

    SimCity

    Here's the thing: What they are trying to do is move the nature of simulation ahead by a generation. Instead of having all properties of the sim controlled by various algorithms that work off of a series of tracked variables they are instead employing something akin to a finite element model...

    The Following

    The whole point of the show is that these arent sociopaths. People have grown accustomed to the idea that serial killing is the result of sociopathy and that isn't the case for these individuals. Its serial killing as a cult which is a whole different ball of wax and thus makes it harder for...

    SimCity

    If I had to guess its to keep the computation demands from crippling computers on the lower end of their spec window. Each of the much vaunted Agents (which are quite cool and honestly the main reason I am interested in this title) means more calculations that need doing.

    Fringe

    I knew there was no way we were going to go all season without seeing Red Universe and Lincoln one last time. So that pleased me, as did Olivia going all Dark Phoenix at the end. I'm pretty sure that the tulip activates something in Peter so that if ever they wanted to do more...

    Supernatural

    It remains one of their highest rated shows. Granted its the CW so that really isnt a terribly high bar to clear but given that Arrow is the only new show they have that is doing well and it just replaced Smallville...
