    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    No, lol. Though there is more reason to buy loot crates (vs orc crates), because at least the legendary gear you get could possibly change the gameplay a lot, and legendary gear doesn't betray you (though the big orcs can break your legendary sword, which creates a mission for you to go try to...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    Nah. Pretty much everyone playing it says the same thing: Act4 doesn't frustrate anyone into buying orcs, and the whole loot crate debacle is overblown reactionary nonsense by well-intentioned fools.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I'm actually liking shadow wars more than the first 3 acts. I'd love it if they combined some of the features from one of my all-time favorite games, Mount and Blade, into Shadow of War. Basically, make a huge RTS + RPG-style game.

    Another good one would be an item that gives you a buff that can give you a single-use last chance attempt.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I'd say right now the most insidious thing you could sell to players is something that would make an orc never betray you. And I don't even know how much that'd help in Act 4, I haven't explored the undead mechanics enough yet.

    @Tarrant how much Tolkien bux you up to?

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    Also, I'd wager that the crew that fucked up the Forthog (he saved me for the first time yesterday, lol), DLC were in charge of the MTX in this game. Even without thinking about it that hard I could come up with much more palatable MTX options that would be more useful than just buying orcs...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    Nah, my argument is that the MTX is some tacked on bullshit that all the pearl clutchers assumed the game was designed around. Obviously we won't get this data, but I'd love to see the number of people who paid for more than $15 worth or so of gold. It just makes so little sense to dump $$$ into...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    @Utnayan So I broke into Act 4 this weekend. Like others have said, you have to beat 20 progressively harder Fort defense/assault missions. Now I could either spend some time prepping for each fort mission by: 1. Exploring the game world and collecting captains by engaging through the handful...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    lol online battles. tldr: The attacking and defending orcs take one bus to the fight, if you max out the number of defending orcs you can bring, the attacking player only gets one follower to bring :D

    @Ossoi got my sous vide, cooked a chicken breast on it. I cooked it at 145F for 2 hours. Was pretty good. I've been able to get similarly juicy chicken breast via a slow cook on a grill and in the oven, but not nearly as consistently cooked (edges over, inside OK) and only with great effort...

    Thanks, I buy that explanation and have heard the same thing about wraps from a bunch of different sources.

    In what ways do fat support motor function in a method that can be described by F=ma?

    Apparently fucking not. I always thought this guy who injected oil into his muscles was retarded, but how much gains did he get from injecting oil into his muscles?

    OK, what if I threw on a couple 5lbs plates on my pecs, then wrapped a couple ankle weights around my triceps? edit: Do you do your bench presses with a running start to boost the a in your F=ma?

    What kind of bonus to my bench would I get if I put a 45lbs plate on my gut before a big lift? I still want to hear what Gravel is thinking because I might learn something about how the body utilizes fat content for muscle control or recuperation, but I have no fucking clue what you're talking...

    Answer is 0, champ. What is 0 * 30lbs? ps. you're a friggin' nerd edit: @Gravel If I wear my 16lbs chainmaille vest, how much will that boost my bench?

    How much acceleration does 30lbs of stationary fat impart on a weight?

    I think there's a terminology disagreement on what impressive means here. To me, if some weak chubby guy starts goes to the gym and progresses from 100lbs bench to 400lbs bench over a few years, but keeps all his fat, I'm impressed. The guy worked hard, fat or no, and can now move a tremendous...

    Yeah, but it has too high of a chance to corrupt him. One shame was enough and he served me well. I depart the region and hope he lives a strong life. Truthfully, he made the game way too easy it was boring. The combination of a fire-god like Az-Laar and my warmonger gear made me invincible.
