    RIP Chester Bennington

    I liked Yield a lot, but Ten and Backspacer were both the 3-5 songs I like and a bunch of shit I skip for me. But I know I am in the minority on that. In addition to the songs you like, I really like All Those Yesterdays and I'm in Hiding a shit ton. Really, Red Blur is the only song I feel...

    Nailed Zodiark, but that's no accomplishment if you know the fight: Step 1- Mirror Mail + Scathe self gambit, Step 2- Phoenix Down + Pheasant Netsesukes, Step 3- Level to a prime number level, Step 4- ....., Step 5-Mist Chain right before the 20% Mark, Step 6- Profit! Probably goes from the...

    Fun fact: Yaizmat (with only ten million hp instead of fifty million) is fight 97 in trial mode.

    PS- if your party is tough enough to AFK in the Aldremech fight, you can set up gambits and AFK overnight in that battle and do the same thing as the Jelly farm.

    LP farming is mostly pointless, anyhow. I had my board maxed out halfway through the game back when everyone had the entire thing in PS2. The Mines in Bujena (sp?) have bridges where tons of skeletons spawn and you can grind up to crazy chain levels (think I had a 500 chain once?) and be...

    I would say, look at a cheat site on whats available and go from there. In all honesty, weapons are generally the bigger pain in the ass to farm in this game (Ribbons aside). In prior plays I dumped everything into Atak, except one each for the other guys, as this unlocks most of the uber...

    Thanks for the tip Vorph. I am going on knowledge from the PS2 game and they re-arranged a bunch of shit from where I am used to it being. The removal of key spells from the vendors in the end game is kind of frustrating, but I got the ones I mainly needed. Unfortunately it looks like if I...

    This is also true. The music industry was in sort of a second Disco era with all the overproduced industry spoon fed shit that MTV was enabling. You guys don't remember Disco, but I am sure you remember crap like C&C Music Factory, MC Hammer, and Back Street Boys somehow being top of the...

    If you like Ten (clearly their magnum opus), Yield and Backspacer are decent. Their other stuff is a little too off the rails for my tastes, though PJ Fanbois seem to jizz over whatever the album with the fucking sheep on the cover was. I like them and think they are a great band, but they are...

    Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

    The fact that someone had to put together a timeline for that means I am not the only one who noticed that. But underage Orientals banging giant robot pilots is as old as the genre itself, dating back to Min May. Maybe you guys will get some tentacle rape in the sequel. But your right...

    I have everyone at around 54 right now (I swap characters a lot to suit certain fights, so I keep them all leveled). I have all hunts done, including the Behemoth King. I am doing the tower with Reddas in the party right now. I have all the espers I can, except Zeremus (waiting on a few more...

    That's a really major pain in the ass quest that is basically entirely in Rabanastre. The process for getting it is obscure as shit, so if you don't feel like wandering all over town trying to figure it out, I suggest looking up "how to access the Chaos fight" in the faq. Chaos is a pretty big...

    To be fair, you can just grind up levels and beat the main game and even most of the hunts perfectly fine with just about anything (all machinist archer party would be the one that might be intolerably bad), but you are not going to beat some of the fights without some at least slightly...

    The best thing about Nirvana was that Cobain killed himself and everyone got to see that Grohl was all the talent behind that band. Foo Fighters are easily better than anything Nirvana accomplished and his contributions to Queens of the Stone Age produced one of the best records of the last...

    Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

    For being such a fan of the comic (which was culturally French and a throwback to old pulp era sci-fi serials of the early 20th century), Besson just completely fucked up in his attempt to use this IP. The characters are horribly miscast (Valarian is supposed to be an older he-man classic by...

    Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

    Like I said, not worth debating because there are plenty of other things wrong with that movie, both in and out of the context of its anime genre. But fwiw I believe they stated her age at the time of that incident in the movie and how long ago it was, which put her age below 18. Plus if that...

    Dude drinks like a fish and is a high functioning alcoholic by all accounts, so your seeing drunk face and the long terms effect of boozing. Though he threw his hat in with the SJWs a bit, I will give this a go as I have been reasonably entertained by anything he as done and like his highbrow...

    Once you get the better axes and armor, Fran starts rivaling the other DPS people. The random nature of Axes and lifting of the 10k damage cap make it a great option against high defense enemies and the one area where Fran dominates is the Vitality stat. That stat pumps axe and hammer damage...

    WM/BM is fairly terrible, due to the lack of swiftness and HP ranks in their boards. You end up with a slow casting piece of tissue paper. I strongly suggest pairing white mage up with either Samurai or Ninja/Hunter (Makes a ridiculously good tank) to get the most out of the class. Black...

    The exceptions to that are Fran makes a decent Gun or Axe class person and Vaan makes a top tier wizard. But generally, the whole woman nuke, man smack thing applies. Really, though, pairing a fast class with a slow class (total access to swiftness levels) is the main thing you need to concern...

    The chick was ok, but barely. The dude was just fucking terrible on levels I have not seen outside of a made for sci-fi channel flick. Her trying to make banter with him makes her seem even worse. Like if you took the roguish guy and the lesbot 3000 from Dark Matter and put them in the roles...

    Where they screwed up was Idris's character rescuing her was when she was supposedly like three or something. But its not really worth discussing, since there is so much else to mock about that movie. Like I said, I will likely go see the second one, but if its another 2 hours of fighing in...

    If you sat down and did the math on the ages of the rang rang girl and the main "I am Christian Bale Batman" dude, he is like 30 something and she is at most 16. I want to say it was a fuckup on the writer's part, but it is heavily anime inspired, so........

    Bellamy is a ridiculously gifted singer who is able to belt out opera level quality vocals live. Urie is pretty solid, too (theres an amazing live cover of Bohemian Rhapsody on YouTube), though there music is not my personal favorite. The vocals on Knights of Cydonia alone are better than...

    Also Queen was about as apolitical as any band ever. They played a show in South Africa at the height of apartheid ffs. They had one song about gun control and another one about indians, but that was it. Pretty much every other mainstream band has had an opinion, though, since the 80s. And...

    Go back and listen to Queen 2 (1973) and Kind of Magic (essentially the Highlander soundtrack from 1985) , then get back to me. Christ the drummer from Queen had better pipes than Chester, ffs. Also, Katmandu and like every Muse song ever pretty much shred that assertion. Shit if screaming in...

    Ministry has the best two songs of that group (One Fix, Jesus Built my Hotrod), but as much as one might hate Vedder's politics, Ten, Yield, and Backspacer were phenomenal albums that dominated the charts and two of those came after they basically told the entire music industry establishment to...

    Freddie Mercury did it better, for longer, with aids on top. Bob Seeger started twenty years before this twat and still has pipes to belt out Katmandu. Daltry, Plant, Lemmy, Hagar, Bonn Scott and Paul Rogers all had careers longer that that Anhero was alive, too. He wasn't even the best of...

    The Bomb King is meant to remind you to use quickenings to bypass certain mechanics (a key thing for certain harder bosses/hunts), but if you just want to plain power him down, its pretty trivial to have 80-100 attack weapons by that point, just remember to slot in gear that pumps STR at the...

    @Vaclav Hardly. The entire soundtrack (outside of Space Oddity and the orchestral stuff) was modern R&B hip-hop crap (like even a rap version of Staying Alive, instead of the original), as a two second google search will show. And its funny you mention the Kool Aid man scene, because it...

    You mean the pedo relationship? Seriously, of all the shit to be authentic Japanese about, I could have lived without the Pedo crap. First movie was terrible, outside of Pearman and Day. I expect this one to be worse, but will still spend money on it because I am borderline gay for Karl Urban.

    Only if you mean Mass Effect Andromeda..... @Angerz My wife and I completely agree about the sub titles at the beginning. It ruined what was one of the better sequences of the film, but I guess if your sound track is crammed with rap music and you have Rhianna in it, your target audience is...

    Not to mention if you spend all of about an hour abusing trial mode you will have all passives maxed and several items of note ahead of time. Plus the class system and limited board from it pretty much mean you are going to max out everything on it prior to Archadia, even if you are not trying...

    Yeah trying to get my wife to get her funbags checked out since she is closing in on 50 and never goes. She hates doctors more than I do, which is saying something, but as a native Californian with a huge natural set of cans and ginger complexion, she is fairly high risk for that kind of shit.
