Probably. Just happened to play into everything the US government was already planning to do, and they memory-holed Building 7 instead of explaining it. Start pulling that thread and the whole thing has a ton of question marks.

I was at an old computer game store and picked up Warcraft 3 (Battle Chest version) with the expansion and the guidebook and everything. It's all a little beat up, but it was a steal at $15. Never played any of the original WC games but I'll certainly play this and Frozen Throne.

I think that: -UFOs are a thing that have been buzzing us for a long time. -Earth is a more interesting than average planet, by far. Most planets don't have life on them, much less complex life, much less the sheer diversity of biomes that we do. -UFO buzz-bys ramped up a lot in the late...

What's with the WoW logo these days? It's been pretty colorless for 3 straight expansions (which coincides with the game's decline in quality, IMO) Look how much more colorful and vibrant the original logo is in comparison.

Nope. The GBA one got remastered on PSP, so if you want to play a nice-looking version of that, grab FF2 on PSP. That was my favorite version of FF2. I still think the postgame content was better than the main game, and only the GBA/PSP versions have it. Pixel Remaster just goes back to the...

Pretty much gave up on Bayonetta 3. I got about a third of the way through the game but I just wasn't finding it interesting compared to other games in the series, probably because of the washed-out Switch graphics. Got to one level where I had to unlock a gate and wandered around lost for like...

I've said it before, anyone who has that "lol it's a 20 year old game lol" attitude is someone I immediately write off. ...apparently it's 30 now according to this guy. Well, in ten years there'll still be people on the message boards pretending they don't care about stuff or are "above" it all...

Another cool thing about TO is that the battles are much bigger-scale. FFT's five-character limit is a drag, especially when enemy groups start having 8+ enemies later on. TO it's more even.

Playing Bayonetta 3 right now. Still not crazy about it, but I'm about a third of the way through the main story so at least it won't take a super long time. Definitely should have gotten Tactics instead but hey.

Side anecdote, Story Time With Raj, feel free to skip: When I was a kid (like 18) I worked for a gas station. 3 days a week, nothing serious, was just putting in some work to help my mom out instead of starting college. A few people at the gas station had a clique and didn't like me, so they...

Or they'll add an Easy Mode where you no longer need to micro-manage or think, trivializing the gameplay and destroying the overall game. Every time I say stuff like this, people are like "what's wrong with easy modes, you can just not use them". In some cases I agree, some games are better off...

Ding 50! Now the New Stuff begins

Teh Jailer "I'm The Guardian!"

Yeah, half the appeal of a TSS start is having all those new 1-70 leveling zones to make use of / funnel the players. It'd be like a brand new game for a lot of people. Except in practice you'd go in on release day and Blightfire Moors would be empty because everyone would be packed into Field...

I'd do short unlocks so it wouldn't be a normal 3 month cycle. I'm saying it'd be similar to the Vaniki we got, just with the unlocks spaced out and not clumped together. So like two weeks at 40 in Classic, two weeks at 50 in Kunark, two weeks of Velious, two weeks of Luclin, two weeks of PoP at...

I think the correct order is Originals: 6, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2 Pixel Remasters: 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 2 That's right, I think 3 gets a significant bump from the remaster. 5 is probably a better game, but it's a bit too long for me to do casual plays of it like I do with 1/4/6. 3 is so drastically improved...

Yeah. Wouldn't even have to change much. Start at level 40 again, but in classic. Raise it to 50 for Kunark, keep it there until PoP which goes to 55.

Tactics Ogre might be the only 1P console game I like more than FF Tactics

If Vish didn't happen at 60, very little chance Lethar is happening at 65 or Meldrath at 70. I thought Vish would be doable since it's mostly execution. I hope we see a Vaniki 2.0 next year (or the year after) with better thought-out objectives and clearer structure (in terms of unlocks). There...

That all sounds like bad design to say the least. I'm gonna get to 60, see as much of the SL zones as I can along the way, run all the dungeons and LFR raids once, then do Dragonflight launch the same time everyone else does, then quit. Will hopefully be a fun month and a half, I've never...

Wow, so that'll get him to 6 solo movies. The other modern Spideys got 3 and 2. Pretty much cements Holland as THE Spidey of the era. I figured they'd replace him with Miles Morales before any further solo movies happened. As for the 3 MCU movies... Avengers 5 and 6 makes sense. What might the...

This any good? How'd they handle Chadwick/T'Challa? I assume he dies early in the movie or offscreen. Spoil away because I probably won't get to this one for a while. Was actually supposed to see it tonight, friend got me a ticket to it, and then I got held up on the highway by Accident #4803...

So the first zone in Shadowlands, that you have to do the first time through, is also total shite? Man, you'd think they would put their best foot forward. Played for another half hour, somehow went from 45-47. One more dungeon run and it's Shadowlands time. I've got like, two and a half weeks...

Jeez. Alright, so I can start Shadowlands at 48 yeah? Where do I go to start it? Got to 45 in last night's sesh. I can play for like 30 minutes (or one level) at a time before I start to snooze. Prolly do a big session this weekend.

Wtf is The Jailer? Shadowlands villain? Sounds really underwhelming. We defeated Old Gods, Dragons, and Burning Legion, now we must face... The Jailer

Still haven't tried the Abilify, maybe I won't. Got a script for Cymbalta for pain and tried one of those. Jury is out but it definitely had a pronounced effect on me the day I took it, felt relaxed as fuck and in less pain. Any experience with Cymbalta here?

Gotta say, Last of Us 2 isn't nearly as bad as everybody says. The gameplay is a bit meh (mainly because I never have enough bullets and have to melee stuff). However the story has grabbed me a bit. I even like Abby, maybe more than Ellie. The main problem is that they put the story in totally...

It was a long-time dream of mine to be a doctor, but I went to school for writing instead. The 10-12 year commitment (and costs) felt prohibitive for being a doctor, especially considering I started college late (age 26). The funny thing is, if I'd just gone ahead and done it, I'd probably be...

Reviving this thread because I've got Stuff Goin On. So basically I've been back and forth about taking my school's accelerated RN program to get a nursing degree in one year. Finally decided to go for it. Went there to sign up, found out that it's a competitive entry field where they only...

I completely agree. Feels like I'm playing a PS3 game when I fire up one of these washed-out Switch games. Bayonetta 3 is doing nothing for me overall but it's fairly short and something to do on a train ride that doesn't require any real thinking. I like the Switch as a concept (the portable...

I keep forgetting that I'm subbed to this game. Left off at level 43 like two weeks ago and just like, forgot all about it. Next big session I'll probably blast to 48 with all the rested exp I've probably got and start doing Shadowlands stuff (assuming everyone gets it for free now)

I imagine it isn't bad at all if you do your grinding in undead-heavy areas using the Harm spells (Dia in the remake, IIRC). Probably use Potions to heal like with every other party configuration (I usually don't even bring a WM) and save their MP for those undead fights. Once I get a couple of...

FF2 is probably the worst of the first ten FFs, but it's still good. Especially if they got rid of all the sharp edges in the PR version. I'm looking forward to giving it one more run. The only party I have left to beat FF1 with is 4x White Wizards (not mages, I'll take the class up thx)...

Yeah, the final boss is the only tough part. 20000 HP while the other bosses in the game top out at like...5000 or so? When I ran 4x Black Mages, they pretty much couldn't kill the final boss because Flare didn't do enough damage quick enough. All my other parties were able to beat the game at...

So...I was right that Sendaii and Deathknell weren't happening at 60? What about Vish?

Got the Hot Ones Burger from Shake Shack. It's a better burger than the Ghost Whopper in terms of being a better burger. However, not in terms of spice. Maybe I missed something, because there's nothing spicy about it. I mean, maybe a little. Also got the Hot Ones Fries, which has a little bit...

Speaking of spicy, I might have posted this somewhere already: Avoid getting the Reaper Taco at Gringo's Tacos in Hoboken NJ. Was in NYC in late Sept for Grand Slam and decided to hit up Gringo's. Their other tacos are good, super good as a matter of fact. Then I went for the Reaper Taco. Two...

Went to check out this Ghost Pepper Whopper I've been hearing about. Didn't get around to it until Nov 2, and the BK I went to told me that the special was over. I asked if that was all BKs and they said yep, it ended 11/1 at ALL stores. WTF. The next day I was passing a BK and decided to stop...

Sort of yeah. It's good, just know that some of the characters are like, non-binary or whatnot. Personally it doesn't bother me, maybe someone else will play it and feel represented. It's a small indy studio AFAIK, not Blackrock doing social engineering. And it has no effect on anything, it's...
