There had better be a damn big payoff to the whole Barbara Keene storyline because the bitch is a waste of valuable screen time.

I went to Wendy's for the first time in what feels like forever and I feel they made a mistake when they reinvented themselves a couple years back. Before they were nice grease bombs with lettuce, cheese, tomato and mayo... now they taste like they are trying to be a sit-down T.G.I.Fridays kind...

Recently I've discovered my home network trying to give every device its own IP address everytime it turns on. Not my main PC mind you, but every phone or tablet or SONOS speaker etc. that pops onto the whyfys gets granted a new IP. After awhile this resulted in it running out of address space...

So this crept completely under the radar from my perspective after I saw it at PAX... and now it is released next week! Here is their launch trailer:

I am a total sucker for Alt-History sort of sci-fi (Crimson Skies, Deadlands, Temeraire etc) so I may be a bit biased, but I found this to be exceptional. While parts of the setting seemed a bit over the top (the hospital bit for example) the overall theme and portrayal of what an alternate...

While I have stopped playing I have a couple of buddies who continue to log in every night for a couple hours of Destiny and while I was watching them grind out their daily story / bounties we got to talking... What the fuck IS Bungie doing with all this time / revenue? They have made a mint...

Yeah I've been doing it with no addons at all, straight up vanilla interface. Blizzard employees themselves should do a no-Addon month challenge where those who still play their own game go for one calendar month playing with only the base client / UI. Would be interesting to see if they...

Since I have nothing else to do I decided to level Archeology... holy mother of god is this a dull profession. It makes Fishing look like playing bullet hell on meth.

Since this is my first MOBA I've been just slowly getting into it as a noob. Mostly just playing Raynor since he was the Tutorial dude and only cooperative matches against the AI. Considering that I pretty much am the target market for this offering (gamer who hasn't played MOBAs and yet was...

Or just cast Idris Elba in a ton more things since he's pretty damn badass without having to make pictures / shows about being black.

My address on my battle.net account was old so I guess someone at a place I haven't lived for a few years will get something in the mail... Would really have been nice for them to post some sort of heads up so that people could make sure their physical shipping addresses were up to date...

We go to the movies at least once a week (sometimes more than once if catching a midnight sci-fi/horror classic at one of the indy theaters here in Beantown) and yet I've only seen the Imitation Game from the list of Best Picture.

So Al Sharpton is declaring a State of Emergency or something because all the actors and directors nominated are white. I can't think of any particular great performance that was snubbed however. Lego Movie not being nominated is a real puzzle. Given that I never even heard of two of the...

By the end of BaRF Blackhand will presumably be dead so that is him and Kargath killed off in raids plus Garrosh finally biting it before the end of the levelling story. That still leaves Ner'Zhul (he gets defeated in Shadowmoon Burial Ground but doesn't seem to actually die), Gul'Dan...

Wow they are really stretching out the LFR release... The last wing of LFR doesn't roll out until the last week of March, that's kinda crazy. Might as well just let my account lapse and then re-up sometime in the late Spring rather than just have piddly content for the next 2-3 months. My 6...

Played a bit in Practice mode using Raynor since I have zilch experience with a MOBA. I will say it is rather entertaining, I need a way to convince my Diablo / Starcraft buddies to give this a shot.

The problem with "Support" as a 4th role has largely been the way it was implemented. Rift and other games chose to make Support effects be group/raid wide and often of a fixed percentage. This leads to problems with scaling that cause designers to pull their hair out in large tufts...

Yeah they showed an encore performance of Empire AKA Dreamgirls 2015

Shoehorning Lando into this, especially given that he seems to be the only one to not appear in Episode VII, just seems quite lame.

I have long wondered why Blizzard doesn't do something about Mages/Warlocks/Rogues/Hunters being classes that have only DPS specs. While I don't expect them to pull a tanking Mage or Healing Rogue out of their ass I would think they could come up with some sort of creative solution to the...

So the head of CBS doesn't like the idea of Supergirl interacting with Arrow and Flash since "they are on another network". Someone should remind this bitch that the CW is part of the CBS media conglomerate and that cross promotion with two wildly successful shows that have strong youth demo...

Somewhat significantly this establishes that they will be using actual mysticism / magic in the Arrowverse. Up until now they've been limited by martial arts and super science and then adding metahuman powers with the Flash and the particle accelerator boom. The Tatu totem would necessarily...

Overwatch Trademark Suspended By USPTO, Blizzard Contending With Smartphone App So apparently the name Overwatch is already in use by another (admittedly much smaller) company. Will ActiBlizzard buy them out or take the effort to rebrand their new IP before people get too used to the name?

They also announced a new Animated series "Vixen" set in the Arrow/Flash DC TV-verse which will have appearances by both Arrow and Flash. WB seems quite willing to broaden the horizon of their new cash cow

I played an Elf Mage and yeah you do get some anti-elf sentiment, but mostly it comes from you saying "Ummm I'm an elf... why the fuck would I be the herald of YOUR god??" I also managed to fail to have any romances, which is a first for a Bioware game. I think I was doing a bad job of...

Hmmm Season 5 still isn't up on Netflix... Was trying to get people caught up on it to watch as a group but no such luck.

I liked the second episode's use of radio drama interludes featuring the fictional Peggy Carter armed with her Singer sewing machine contrasted with how the real one was currently kicking ass. I half expected Peter Scolari and Tom Hanks to saunter into the ladies-only residence hotel she ends...

Buck Rogers Matrix Cubed was a fun game back in the day. Similar to the Gold Box D&D games using the Buck Rogers system that TSR created as a licensed product with a very fantastical version of Buck Rogers that had more in common with Flash Gordon style. I tried the version on the archive...

Imperator LFR seemed really diluted to the point of almost pointlessness. In SoO the LFR stuff did at least require some effort on the part of the players to get the mechanics right and even then there was the very real possibility of failure. I honestly think each person could have targeted...

That fight just has a bit too much going on. Personally I felt the wind-pushback aspect was what made it perticularly difficult for people to grasp. Anytime you have an effect that directly effects a player's controls with respect to movement you create a separate instinct of panic which...

Is someone making these things as a tax writeoff? What the hell?!?

I sometimes wonder what Dr Who would be like had it not gotten the ax during the McCoy years. We sort of got a hint with the Americanized Fox Who movie in the 90s, but what would a real Dr Who series have looked like in the 90s? I shudder at the possibility.

As terrible as the production values were for the Sylvester McCoy years his performance was quite good. Started out as a comical sort of buffoon but quickly became a very very dark portrayal of someone who is playing a very long very twisted game. Hence the Cartmel Masterplan that has been...

A guild run that outsources main tank duties? Perhaps things are different, but I've always considered tanks to be the defacto leaders since so much hinges on their positioning / gameplay.

I think the daily quest areas are meant to be "Timeless Isle" type content, only the activities / mob density / tagging mechanism preclude that. I'm stuck at a point where LFR has no possible upgrade for me yet I struggle to find a block of time to search for a PUG raid. I'm right on that...

So Ezra's

I'm posting semi-blind because I'm actively avoiding any spoilers for this but had to jump in to say this has been the most epic feeling RPG I've experienced in quite some time. Feels somewhat like Mass Effect 1 only with the slight drawback of plot elements from the earlier entries. It feels...

Caught the first two episodes of this. It a not high drama or an amazing novel in television form, but it was at least entertaining and nice fluff. Sometimes you just wanna chill with B-grade fluff.

They officially announced today (after the Xmas special aired in Britain) that Clara would be staying for all of Series 9. This will overtake Amy Pond as the longest running companion of Who since the restart in 2005. If she stays past series 9 then she will have been on the show longer than...

Yeah that was the dad's theory. It wasn't just selected breeding either, they were using the closed environment to do heavy genetic recombination therapy via the regular injections to the crew. Hence why the science guy had to be in on the whole deal to continually modify the treatments.
