    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    If you can wait, wait, for you will almost always have a better experience with a full release, on any game. If you are too hyped to wait, then the EA is still good, as far as EAs go (it is alpha state). As for the state of the Act 1 alpha: The game world looks 90%+ complete, and will probably...

    Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan

    All New York and New Jersey people are weird and/or scummy to the rest of the country, brah. Only Florida man has a worse rap, and that's probably due to all the New York migrant blood that has tainted the state.

    The Good Lord Bird

    Be warned, this show is purportedly almost entirely fiction posing as some historical drama. Once it has been out for a while, I am sure there will be whole write ups, by historians, on how wrong they get the history. I'll wait until I can read a few of those, before I possibly waste my time...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It is hard to tell what salts are used where, without looking up every jurisdiction, since there are various de-icers available (corrosive ones seem to be the cheapest). Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) was listed as the most corrosive and what is often used in some New England states. Since you live...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    40,000 miles in 5 years probably means it was a daily driver. I would not knowingly buy a used car that had be driven in winter salt slush, which Denver has a lot of. If you aren't going to keep it for more then 5 years, the extra wear that salt causes might not become an issue, though. As for...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hard to tell who will be OP as current DPS standings mean fuckall for level 60 balance and everyone will have different opinions on what specs are most fun to play. Although, most can agree that Windwalker and Feral will, most likely, be shat upon for another whole xpac. The best leveling spec...

    Buffs lasting through spec change, and Starfall not breaking stealth makes pvp people die without ever seeing who is attacking them. lol

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    AFAIK, DH and DK no longer have a requirement to play one, and they start at level 8, but still in their own intro area. As for cross server stuff, the only thing that is blocked is Mythic raiding, but you can still do Heroic and Normal raids with anyone, of the same faction.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Like everything else, Arena will be in shambles until season 1 of Shadowlands starts and it is hard to tell the state of PvP until people are playing it at 60. That said, you should be able to stay competitive in the mid tier of PvP by just doing PvP, but if you wanted to be in the top 5%, you...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Starting from your other post, between a Classic and a modern Lotus; I wouldn't think of a full restored classic car as a performance vehicle unless it is in a straight line. You buy them for looks and there are a ton of nice looking old cars. Take your time to find a handful of models you think...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I would also watch The Road Warrior first, as it is the most like Fury Road and, as Joot says, they are all only loosely related. Off hand, I cant think of a single plot point outside of a dude driving a car in Australia, that are common among the 3 old movies.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I dont care enough to install the PTR, but a few hours for a full set wouldn't be terrible and I might do it for 1 or 2 toons. Still, I would have preferred to just make the item level 87 gear from mats sitting around in the bank, and skip the event altogether. Here is part of the Wowhead...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It's a true alpha and they only let you play the first 1/3 of the game with about half the base classes, of which less than half (?) the sub-classes, are implemented. There are bugs, crashes, and NYI item, but they aren't all that distracting. They wont be adding the second or third maps to the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The first toon I level should have better than item level 87 gear, so, I don't give that many fucks about it. My response was more to the fact that they spent the time retooling the system, for nothing, and Cringe acting like you can just log in and buy BFA raid gear for alts without farming...

    Wowheads write up says that you need to do the invasion shit to get currency for the vendor shit, so no, I cant just log on and outfit 6+ alts with better gear.

    Never really thought about it before, now that the gays can get married, they can do cuckold porn too. Congratulation on finding a new kink, I guess. Also, this show looked terrible, from the start, so meh.

    I dont give a fuck about some shit Scourge event. I had planed to resub, at most, a week before the xpac, to get UI straight and make ilev 87 gear for alts to level in (since the level 50 - 55ish quest gear will probably be in the item level 50 - 100 range)

    Put in new tradeskill system, nerf it so it is worthless. Good plan! From wowhead: Blizzard has nerfed the item level boosts granted by Relic of the Past, including Rank 5 crafted gear at ilvl 54, down from ilvl 87. Old Values Relic of the Past I - item level 23 and level 15 Relic of the Past...

    *The second half of the first season of Discovery is watchable. The second season made me hate every character, the writers that wrote them, the director that directed them, and the actors that played them. Fuck that show.

    Latest official word I saw was that, when first announced, they planned on level 10 cap, but now they are evaluating a change in the level cap. They have not confirmed anything above level 10 though. It looks like they will have 3 giant maps (act one area, the tower/middle area, and Baldur's...

    You are far from the only one confused. The Steam forums are filled with people crying about how it's unfinished or that they rushed the main quest in 6-8 hours, but they were PROMISED 25 hours. It's not even to beta stage yet, it is Alpha access and, like Brodhi said, only Act 1, at that. It...

    It was implied that the head Scientology guy had already signed a deal with Vaught/Gus to remove Shockwave and bring back A-Train and The Deep. Obviously, Shockwave getting killed, polled the best in focus groups for the story of "convincing" A-Train to come back.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You made me look it up, since that actually sounded good, and I have a bunch of old mats laying around. They nerfed it slightly to ilevel 87 (Relic of the Past V). Nylotha LFR is ilevel 85 and normal is ilevel 100. Prepatch event gives ilevel 100. Without the nerf, item level 100 trade skill...

    If you want to prep for Shadowlands, the prepatch is going to have gear the same level as normal raid loot, and I doubt anything crafted from old xpacs would get that high(?). I guess the old trades could have a use for leveling. They have some kinda upgrade tokens that you can apply every so...

    No point these days, back in Legion (or was it WoD?) they split them all up into their respective Xpac, to be leveled separately. Shadowlands will have it's own separate tree, starting at 1.

    It sounds like that may be what they are implying. On first watch, I missed it, but on rewatch, I think Stormfront said she was given the V first, then she fell in love with Vaught (as if they didn't start their relationship until she was a supe).

    So the next mission to Jupiter will spend a bunch of time getting data on it: Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system, possesses a strong intrinsic magnetic field that gives rise to a mini-magnetosphere through interaction with Jupiter's magnetospheric plasma. Ganymede's magnetosphere...

    According to the wiki, the sun has a tidal pull on Mercury that is, on average, 17 times stronger than the moon's tidal pull on earth. It also has the most eccentric orbit of all the planets, meaning that when it is closest to the sun it is 29 million miles away, and at it's furthest, it is 43...

    Exactly this. The WF/TF system kept people playing, by giving that chance at winning the ultimate loot, every time you run it. I am sure there was a, not insignificant, subset of people that chased those max TF items for 100s of hours, whereas otherwise they would have quit playing/logging on...
