    Total War: Warhammer

    If you start as the first lord from any race you can do the "tutorial" that gives you prompts and missions to guide you through the first 10-20 turns. Maybe do the Vortex map first so things aren't quite as overwhelming and unstructured. High elves are considered noob friendly as they have...

    The Edenville Dam in Midland, MI (world HQ of DOW Chemical) collapses forcing thousands to evacuate

    Any update on the chemical ponds and their contents? Floods suck but they happen and there's a pretty standard cleanup process but not when there's nasty shit in the water. My wife's last semester of undergrad was canceled when her school town flooded. Corona closing schools and postponing...

    The Edenville Dam in Midland, MI (world HQ of DOW Chemical) collapses forcing thousands to evacuate

    In the same vein as the fence guy, once the water rises above your toilet level just keep flushing and suck it all down, duh.

    Jeremy's move good or bad? He'll likely survive more weeks now as a "free agent" but the producers chose to show it negatively with the jury commenting. I'm thinking maybe final 3 but no votes for defensive play with no offense.

    Dune (2020)

    Scandinavian house name, described as fair skinned from low sunlight, and Jessica is literally the Baron's daughter. I got no problem with these two.

    They cut the chick from BR2049 but kept McKinnon. I thought it was enjoyable but would have liked to see the fuck-me eyes deArmas gives him in this scene incorporated.

    Didn't one of the segments where he's showing a new tiger he get asked "Which rapper did you get this one from?"

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I haven't checked lately but there were a bunch of connection issues at the start of the season right when everyone was quarantined that decimated hardcore. The only people I personally know that play HC gave it up after that.

    Russell's first season was 19, and he went immediately into HvV which was 20. The problem is Tyson, Rob, Parv, and Sandra were also there with Russell so they at least saw his play style. Rob and Tyson got their wins after HvV so another reason why using that as some kind of demarcation is...

    I've only ever watched the seasons as they've happened so my memory gets tainted by each season. Was there some shift in gameplay or idols or something that signifies old vs new school? They all talk about it like it's a real thing but is there something to it? Is it just everyone before...

    I haven't played Imperator: Rome so I can't speak to its reviews, but in general Paradox grand strategy reviewers are nit-picky and harsh. There's so many things happening in their games and the reviewers will complain about some obscure diplomacy scenario and stuff like that.

    Yea, when he just casually drops that Carole killed her husband I can't even imagine their reaction.

    My understanding is there's 3 layers of Joe footage. 1-Stuff Joe and/or the hat guy filmed for joe.tv or Joe's personal reasons 2-stuff the hat guy filmed for his "retirement" reality show 3-stuff the Tiger King producers filmed The Tiger King producers were originally just interested in doing...

    I know it would likely ruin a lot about the show but for a long time I've though a "behind the scenes" for these kinds of shows would be kind of cool. I mean more than ponderosa. Stuff like the logistics behind camp, food and water, the camera/producer crews, challenges. This last episode in...

    That's kind of the problem with these social-competition shows. What makes entertaining television and makes the fans happy isn't necessarily what makes players "win." If we could have some crazy fucker burn socks and dump rice every season (and more importantly, shit talk about it in...

    I agree with you on principle, but some winners didn't even really "play." If they said at final tribal my strategy was to do nothing so I wouldn't be a threat or piss anyone off then, sure, their gameplay won. Too often though they try to pathetically pitch some weak moves that only existed in...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    My only gripe about the new sets is that they don't count for conquests. Years of war is laughably easy now with the power bloat and Masters always sucked ass but they are undo-able for the new sets.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yea, it's kind of ridiculous how easy it is to GR75 and unlock T16 on alts on basically your first GR. A couple thousand blood and a dozen or so rare upgrades and you've bypassed all but the grind phase of the game. All in all though I can't complain too much. For a game with no subscription...

    I'm guessing there'll be no "Sandra Sit Out Bench" when the outcasts compete to get back in either. It's not even that I think she didn't really earn her wins, it's that she thinks her shit don't stink. Literally the poster child for butt hurt juries voting dumbly, twice.

    All the co-op commanders are free to play right now. They're up to 18? commanders now plus several new maps if you haven't played in a while. Matchmaking queues are pretty quick too.

    Time will tell but I can't decide if Wendell openly trying to sell his vote is a good move or not. Obviously a season of winners have to realize everyone has a price so Wendell being open about it shouldn't be that shocking. Then again I can see Yul and Nick being naive enough to be personally...

    3, 4, & 5 seasons are a lot, but these reunion seasons are by far some of the best. They play the game better. They interact with each other in more interesting ways. Their producer interviews are better. It may be partially the edits but you can even see that this season between the 1 time...

    Obviously depends on all your gear and paragon, but last season I used the BK swords just fine for everything under gr100. Only switched to rogue/slanderer when I got too squishy.

    I only played through AC4 Black Flag but at least for that title the intro is a bit different since you're not playing as an assassin remembering assassin stuff.

    Having gone through SERE and some other less intense survival training, it is hard to overstate the quality of life improvement from having soy sauce, tabasco, cholula, or some other flavoring to add to your food.

    Took the family there for xmas. Yes we got up early for the new ride but it wasn't quite that bad. There were still afternoon boarding passes available 30 minutes after 7am opening.

    If you don't want to outright cheat but still want easy money you can abuse the buy/sell land mechanics. The price for land is the same for both buying and selling and doesn't factor in the state of the crops. Let the AI plant & fertilize and buy the plot when ready to harvest, even if you...
