    I had to fly to do it, but I could have played in a 50 man plus fantasy event every month of the calendar year if I wanted to, even when end times shit was being fed to us in Fantasy. The last year Fantasy was a thing here was my schedule: January- Waaghpaca in Wisconsin(100+ always sold out...

    AOS is being propped up by battered GW wives, I mean customers, who will play anything if it means not losing the use of their investment in time and models. The way I know how bad AoS is as a game is this: A guy who was part of my old WHF team that used to travel around for events is the top...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    A running QB who can toss it up for a PI flag and hide behind a top tier defense is going to look better than they are. Its what propped both Flacco and Wilson up, but they have rings because their teams actually had top tier RBs to add to that. Kaeperbro had a couple of decent seasons, before...

    It (2017)

    No way this ends up being good. If its a straight up remake of the original TV version, then you are cramming an already condensed story down to at least half of its original length and discarding some iconic performances from the original (no one is going to top Curry). If you are going to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If Khane has a statue dedicated to him it will be something like the Army of darkness poster with smelly armpit girl clinging to his dick while he is reaching for his beer. Such a momument will be properly defended.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Bailing early is Khaines move (or used to be, he seems different in his present situation). Sticking it out forever is how I was raised and what I like to think what I would do. But realistically, I think P3 has to decide if both he and his wife are serious about fixing things. If you have...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    @Cad At that point you are back to it not being a partnership of equals and both people not taking the relationship seriously, at least in my view. Fixing a fucked up relationship is hard, so I don't fault people for doing the counselling thing if they are determined to do it, but I think most...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    @Picasso3 In my personal experience, "hard to read" is usually a euphemism for "I don't believe what you tell me", especially in the context of relationships. I know there are people who swear by therapists and having a "referee" to keep things civil, but I am not a big fan of it. If you need...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It is a subtle distinction, but self esteem and self worth are not one in the same. A man can realize that he fills a very insignificant role in the scheme of things and be completely fine with that, just as easily as he could be convinced of his importance but doubt himself as a person. The...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You can have low self esteem and still have an over inflated sense of self worth. See Bill Burr hardest job on the planet bit, as an anecdote on that. But yeah skepticism is always advised when getting relationship advice from anyone.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    In my experience, women in general tend to have an inflated view of their self worth and this is especially true of Hispanic women.

    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    Jessica is the only one who has no real clue how to fight, plus Madame Gao was pretty much tanking both her and Cage the entire initial confrontation.

    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    To be fair, that speech could be about wealth as privilege (which actually exists). As a major SJW hater, I was fine with it the way they presented it and it actually tied into the story, unlike a lot of the hamfisted virtue signaling bullshit they generally pull.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah this is the part that blows my mind. We never bothered with rings or dresses, which (along with the drama) cut out 90% of the stress of getting married. Our original PS1 in our trophy case? That has sentimental value. Some rock on a hoop worth more than my fucking car? No point in that.

    I got out of mine for 5k and among my wedding gifts were a Rockem Sockem Robots game, Guitar Hero, and a Beatles Box set. I am not saying my wedding was the best, but after 100 (literally) stuffy affairs with someone jackass like me singing Dan Fogelberg songs and a bunch of wound up relatives...

    Wife and I went to the courthouse, then had two receptions people were invited to (one in CA one back home in WI), which maybe set us back 5k tops. Our CA one was an all day Shrek themed mini golf and pizza party at Castle Park and the WI one was Lebowski themed with a night of bowling in bath...

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    4/10. Too predictable, too much of the useless kid, and no real sense of scope. It also tried to cram way too much shit into one movie. Without Elba and MM, this movie would have been made for Sci-fi fodder, at best. The story was basically gutted to fit into one movie, then gutted again to...

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    Basch is fine in that role (which I view as DPS, not tank). If you are looking to break the game, the Ninja/white mage combo with max evade busts most of the game, really. Not a fan of the White Mage machinist, due to the inability to get all three swiftness ranks in that combination, but some...

    I followed the story. It was shitty. Cloud was shitty and pretending to be his friend for over half the game. It just looks a lot less gay, in nostalgic retrospect, because Advent Children was cool to watch and made Cloud a lot less insane (but just as emo). Seriously, the guy was a dick...

    I think Cloud was one of the worst protagonists in a FF game to exist and that FF7 is overrated because people who came into the series in the PS1 era (especially early edge lord anime types) worshiped Sephiroth, who was the first major American exposure to that type of anime villain. My...

    The level mechanic was irrelevant. The dumb part was the entire game was centered on sitting with 100 spells in slots on espers as gear, which made using magic pointless and meant you would spend hours sucking spells out of people like a straw to get 100 of something. The levels were basically...

    Magic system was shit and the time travel plot was poorly done, but I liked the individual character stories and the music more than most.

    FF8 is very polarizing. People either really like it (I liked it more than most) or hate it. If you are trying to avoid burnout, I would knock out FF8 early and save FF4 for when you need to play one of the better games to get back into the groove.

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    Maximum Overdrive is a guilty pleasure of schlock, in the same vein as The Last Dragon. I can think of several King based movies I liked less without even getting into the made for TV shit.

    GW basically saw how much money the forge world 30k shit was making, saw how many marine armies are being passed around on Ebay like the local slut, and decided to make "more mariney marines!!!" to try to get in on that action. New 40k is not as bad as AoS and certainly not as bad as 7th, but...

    Phobia of flying...what to take?

    I used to have this issue (I had a fear if heights for a long time and never flew until my 30s), but the wife and I usually fly first class and I just slam some booze, put on the headset, and pass out to my tunes. If you have to fly coach, the rear of the plane is preferable (if you can deal...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    Yeah I noped out of the MP two patches ago when they both tripled the item pools and halved the rate at which you can acquire ultra rares. As someone who maxed their manifest in ME3MP, fuck that shit. I stopped playing MMOs because of excessive grinding and this was worse.

    RE: Armors in the end game: Since most of the later boss fights basically ignore evasion, the only reason I ever saw to use light armor was for raw HP. But even then, the loss of MDef and Defense was never worth it. I think I had three people in robes, Fran in Grand Armor, Balthier in...

    As a liberal cuck, being cheated on is probably one of Potatoe3's fetishes. So he probably meant that question as a positive. I agree that trust is the only thing that counts and the moment you allow for doubt, shit is probably over anyhow. I don't shy away from noting that another woman is...

    He might only be around 4million. I got up to it and saw him and was gauging the bar drop against Hellwyrm (also in the trials), so I could be way off. Either way, it was taking far to long to gank him and at that point you are already hurting for consumables so bad that you know pretty fast...
