    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    No clue why they even bothered nerfing the bird farm at this point, since AOE on the goobers was much more effective. You can pretty much AOE them reliably for 30-40k a clear once you either get the cannon spell or blasphemous blade, so nerfing the bird is really just punishing certain generic...

    Who did you help in the final step, her or the Inqisitor?

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Completely agree with this assessment. It has a really great moveset, modest stat requirements, is fairly light, built in bleed accumulation, and really solid scaling. On my first playthrough, I ran this with spinning weapon or the sword phalanx ash for most of the game, until DMGS finally...

    The Munsters

    She had some miniseries on Stars recently where she got completely naked (and some movie with Liam Neeson where she is a ghost or something). Plus her acting skill never fell off, she just wanted out of the mainstream by all accounts, focusing on art house movies.

    The Munsters

    I think a bigger budget Munsters could be awesome, but you would need the right cast with good comedy instincts. Imagine John Hamm or someone similar as Herman, Joe Pesci as Grandpa, and maybe Eva Greene as Lily and give it the Dark Shadows remake treatment. That would be a good movie. This...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The basic lance is just lying on a ruined building in the storm hills north of the starting area where the giants roam around. Its not the best weapon, moveset wise, but it rapes things that can be staggered and is the only great lance that you can put an ash of war on, iirc. I found it to be...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Do you have a lance thats crafted up? I remember wrecking her with a lance on my first play, just pure physical damage with a lot of stagger if you land the good hit on her. The Zweilhander you get out of Morne Castle is pretty great in that fight, too.

    Rock Toss with the meteor staff crushes her, for casters. Everyone else, grab your most staggering 2h and roll up on her and smash.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    What Makes Ancestor Spirit (the second one) rough on melee is the magic damage field he shits all over the ground making approaching it even for those windows tough. It is not a hard fight, per se, but its a really long patience test for a caster drop your melee guy will likely never make use...

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    Another stinker I paid money for in the theatres. Took a date to it as well. That did not end well for me at any level.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    That wasn't a movie, it was a woke assassination of an entire franchise and its core fans.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    It is not in my top five worst, but its honorable mention. Remember my criteria was movies with a lot of good talent that just suck. That said Nothing But Trouble probably belongs on my list too, somewhere. But Pacific Rim had all the stuff on paper to be a good movie. Great director/writer...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Godrick is not really hard if you prepare for him by doing Weeping first and know his moves. My first playthrough he was a hard wall for me, but I have pretty much one shotted him (and the Gaol version of him) ever since. As for Ancestor Spirit, there are two ways to win that fight and not be...

    I neglected END forever on my wizard play, because fast dodge was enough. But I got tired of getting one popped by the hyper aggressive shit so I started bumping it, plus I wanted to wear Mohg's robe and still fast roll. Most of the mage play stats are done, just dumping excess in faith in...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Literally is the definition of continuity error, if future outfits are worn in past periods. Would a spiderman prequel where Tom Holland has the nanotech spidersuit be a continuity error if it was set prior to Homecoming? Yeah fuck right off with that retardation. You set off this derail with...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Brits don't care about continuity or polish. I mean, their most famous Sci-fi just shit on 60 years of its own continuity and they have been having wakandans playing the queen in historical movies/shows for a while now. Amplify that by Chris's retardation and you end up with this derail.

    Samurai Cop is that generations Plan 9. Its so bad its entertaining, like if Kung Fury were being made as a serious movie.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    I did a period where I was a movie theater manager and had to check my prints, so I sort of developed a taste for really bad movies. There are lots of shitty low budget movies that are terrible, usually horror or some washed up actor trying to cash a paycheck, but those are a dime a dozen and...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    There are bars in northern San Antonio that have the same setup. Kind of fun, especially if you have people who want to cut loose but are too embarrassed to sing in front of strangers. Thats expensive for sure, though. My home setup was about 400 plus a computer to set up with four mics and a...

    The Munsters

    The biggest hurdle any Munster Show faces is recasting Herman and Grandpa. Fred Gwyn and Al Lewis were amazingly good comedic actors who had already perfected working together in the Car 54 Series. I don't think there are any actors since that can replicate that dynamic, either individually or...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Morgott was stupidly easy for me, mainly because I had the shackle and had seen all of his bullshit before in the Margitt fight, but with an open arena this time. IF you are any kind of Sorcerer, you can just roll out of his AEs and burn him down in phase two after basically ignoring most of...

    Black Adam (2021)

    Black Adam is sort of like Dr Doom where he has a lot of "diplomatic immunity" shit he can pull out of his ass due to being the head of state of a country. Not sure if the movie will address Kandaq or not.

    Ms. Marvel

    It was decent for what it was. Went in with low expectations, but it was decently close to the source material and different enough from the standard Marvel formula to be interesting. Its definitely aimed at a younger audience and it had a strong Scott Pilgrim vibe I liked. It also didn't...

    3, Colorado Springs, so somewhat touristy. Skiers go there a lot. 4. My only personal interest is maybe moving the ever shrinking 401ks into a physical asset, as you said, because they retain value. My wife is doing this as some over arching plan to convince me to move out of TX to be closer...

    So my wife and I have been completely debt free for going on five years now (we charge things to a card and pay it off monthly to keep credit good), which makes me happy heading into the coming shitshow. But the wife wants to buy a fucking rental property in CO (we are in TX) near her sister...

    Yeah the big meta I see more and more of in the gankers has been dual Naginatas with a secondary status ash on both. Pretty nasty if they land a jump attack with the pair and Naginatas are really fast for a spear weapon, with both slash and pierce moves, so they can stack up the status really...

    Hora Loux is the last boss that gives a shit about bleeding and is not resistant to slash damage. And a few of the main bosses prior are basically ae rape fests with lots of resistances to bleed/slash (melenia being a notable exception), so you are in for some fun for sure. What daggers are...

    I thought the change to the upper area after FA more or less covers the entrance? Perhaps I am in error. In any case, there is a shit ton of stuff in the capital to be combed, but ideally you do most of that prior to the snow areas. I know from playing with the wife coop that they wont even...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Depends on how badly you want a couple Dragon Sombers before taking on the last zone. I personally think Sewers (up to Frenzied Door), then Halig, then Farum Azul because it leaves you the most options to backtrack if you want. Once you unlock Farum Azul a lot of things become essentially...

    I will say the weapon selection, while vast, tends to gravitate people into a couple specific setups. A couple (Dual Wield stats cornhole weapon of choice, Rivers of Blood, Moonveil) are more PvP related because gankers, but even in PvE you eventually end up going a couple specific directions...

    NG+ exists in Souls games mostly for the sole purpose of letting people play around with the endgame toys in the early zones. The only time this has not been the case was DS2, which had a lot of extra invasions as well as altered boss fights and drops during NG+ cycles. The game is too fucking...
