    Brave Frontier

    This game is a bit too much like pad for comfort. Also, I know nothing about what good rolls are, but I am pretty sure 3 of the same guy (aem) is not it. The other one is a dryad, which seems terrible.

    The Leftovers

    Aren't they all unrepentant sinners, godless heathens and atheists? This is the show based on the fundamentalist christian fanfic about how they suffer after all the righteous are taken up by the rapture right? 8)

    Dominion on SyFy (old thread deleted)

    Can he sense any angels? I didn't think he could; he certainly didn't sense the fat one either. It would also make their angel tests and radar kind of pointless if he just knew.

    Transformers 4: Baylicious

    I hope you punch him in the face afterwards if you do ;p That 'review' would cost Michael Bay $1000 if he wanted me to give it ;p

    Transformers 4: Baylicious

    I have to paraphrase Douglas Adams on this one. The first eight hours were the worst. The second eight hours were the worst too. After that it went into a bit of a decline. The best thing to be said for it is that at least you could usually tell which robot was which. Who would have...

    There's minimum prices on things, 30 for rares, maybe it's 3 for commons ?

    Heh, I played around with AH for a while, angel of dawn started at $11 for the cheapest and was up to $22 an hour later ;p

    Continuum

    It has nothing to do with SyFy, it's a canadian show, SyFy just bought the US rights for it. 6 words of less won't work given it's kind of complicated - basic premise is time travelling terrorists attempting to prevent a totalitarian future ruled by mega-corporations. Or a 6 worder "fucking...

    I dunno, depending on her brand of crazy religiousness, that could mean no sex ever ;p The pilot for this was much better than I expected.

    Falling Skies season 4 starts June 22

    I lost interest and walked off halfway through this one. It was just terrible.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Yes and no, the game is waving the 'fuck melee' flag pretty vigorously. As you notice when the very first group content has the pbaoe blade whirlwind boss and the chain of a thousand knockbacks boss ( fuck you Esper channelers ;p ).

    The 100

    I did not see that coming. That was actually a really good season finale. Lol at the Jesus walk getting interrupted by someone who just did it instead of talking about it and lol at the "mountain men". The shot of the lake and the contrast with their shit heap was fantastic.

    No Game, Brynhildr and Sidonia are all pretty good. No real must watch stuff though.

    Spring 2014 Anime Thread

    That's debatable - I didn't feel Monster got a lot better or worse after the first 5 or so eps, other than the ending ( endings are traditionally a disaster area for anime, so monster is notable in having a good one ), so if you don't like it by then you probably won't like it if you watch the...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    This movie was great fun. I wasn't expecting Cruise's character to be such a worthless piece of shit, but it made for great entertainment. The master sergeant's speech walking to the barracks is a nice wink at the situation. I laughed at the literal handwaving they did about how ridiculous...

    EA shuts down Mythic Entertainment

    Same as individual person level - if you judge someone's work is producing less money than you pay them, it's cheaper to fire them than to try and get them to do better. You don't need any tax writeoffs to make that appealing when the bottom line is $$$. It's sort of a curse of publicly...

    Medicare Coverage Ban on Sex Change Surgery Has Been Lifted

    I think you'd need a pretty big increase in institution capacity if you are going to round up all the circumcised men.

    Welp, it looks like beta invites are going to become significantly more useful soon. From thefriday updatethey are planning for the june content patch to include, as well as the AH, the first bit of PVE and a much more sensible solution to gencon bonus stuff ( they were originally going to...

    3D Gaming

    I consider the 3dvision set to possibly be the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on hardware. The effect can be kind of immersive, but the drawbacks are just too frustrating - second monitors are a huge problem, room lighting is a huge problem, the glasses are uncomfortable and...

    Dominions 4

    I'd offer a different opinion to Grimsark - you need to learn a *LOT* of stuff to play even half competently. The AI isn't a match for a strong human player, but you are not going to be a strong human player for a very long time. Plus, you can always plays Middle Ages and Ermor ( the undead...

    It'd surely be at least half his fault with him being busy with Arrow in a different country.

    Any time there's no face and lots of coverage (e.g. frizzy hair ), it's a pretty safe bet that it's a stunt ass.

    Dominions 4

    Dammit, this thread prompted me to start it up again, and I got crushed mercilessly. Sigh ;p I just can't resist playing the undead, even when I know it's going to end in 5 on 1 gangbang with more priests than vatican city. Still, what other games can you field an army of 800 zombies...

    If you have any latency then this is actually a pretty effective way of avoiding telegraphs, rather than waiting to see it and then moving.

    I dunno, 30% off the width of electrocute is going to be really annoying, it was hard enough to hit multiple things with it to start with, given how they run all over the place ;p

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    This was an excellent film. Really liked it. The opening was great, I loved the way they were expert and working together. Best performance to young magneto for his verbal bitch slapping of professor emo.

    It's easy - low level play on the esper is horrible, both their builder and their super ability root them in place. I'm surprised they got as many votes as they did.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yes to all. Beta key if anyone wants to try it out. Keep in mind there's no PVE at the moment, so the only thing you can do without spending any cash is to duel other people with a starter deck, or play against a pretty weak AI. Send me a PM if you use it, so I can edit it out. edit...

    That was the last dungeon revamp. First pass they nerfed the shit out of specials, which made it too easy. Second pass they buffed the shit out of white damage. Most people have said it keeps constant pressure on heals.

    I don't think so, as far as I remember the book also ended with her discovering the 'message from god' in the digits of pi.

    Hmm, reading Hasbro's annual report for 2013 to see how much of a big deal for them this would be - hoo boy. Gaming revenue was up 10% to 2 billion, with first credit given to magic the gathering for year on year revenue growth with extremely low manufacturing cost. Yeah, they are almost...

    The art and the names are the only thing that are copyrightable, game rules can't be copyrighted. It's all about the patent claims.

    Yes, this. They don't expect to win, just to drain crypto dry. Them going out of business is a win for them anyway.

    That definition of "copied" has no hope of winning anything. Which is a good thing, because being able to copyright 'a unit with 2 attack' would be unbelievably stupid and disruptive. The actual patent for MTG ishereand is actually pretty well written, specific and descriptive, which I...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If you've seen the holy grail, they were comparing the dreadfort attack to the attack on the rabbit. More from the silliness than any direct connections. Which is fair, that scene was pretty terrible and made no sense.
