    Age of Wonders 4

    Sandbox only. They did away with the traditional campaign. I would assume that is because most won't play one. Instead they have specific story realms, which are just individual maps with specific objectives and stories. Game has multi-player but the AI is perfectly competent, so you shouldn't...

    Miniature Painting

    These come preprimed grey out of the box. The body was Altdorf Guard Blue with Drakenhof Nightshade shade. I also did a dry brush of a couple of lighter blues along the spinal ridge and some of the parts jutting out of the head after the shade. Underbelly was Screaming Skull with Agrax...

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    The Dangerous/Forbidden Glades can have events that reward the items you use to upgrade the Citadel. So probably not worth it to maybe find one, unless you have a lot going for you already on a particular map. Because the more Glades you open, the more Hostile the forest gets, and the longer...

    Reading back a few pages as I have refused to look at this page for months while I wasn't painting, since it would just make me feel bad. Funny that I ran into this post as I had just finished painting the Young Blue Dragon. You can see some of my Iyanden Aeldari in the background of one of...

    EG hasn't looked this good at TI since like... TI 6. LGD clearly has fallen apart internally (losing to Hokori and Soniqs), but OG has their whole roster and is in top form, thats a great win for them. Tomorrow is Hokori (SA trash) and Liquid (6th best EU team), they SHOULD be able to 4-0...

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    This game is excellent. I only played the Demo on Steam, as I refuse to use EGS. According to the devs on the Steam forums, the October release date is still undetermined for Steam, and it will just be the same Early Access that is on Epic. They say it will stay in Early Access for at least 6...

    Odd that they do not include Irma, it was 5 years and 1 month ago, and that storm was wicked.

    I'm in Avalon Park, never lost power. My best friend is right down the road around 417 & 50, and while she has her power, her backyard flooded into her living room. My boss lives in St. Cloud... haven't heard anything from him yet, and it is supposed to be pretty flooded out that way.

    Fucking thing turned to go right over Orlando. Fortunately for us, the slow movement means it will only be a Cat 1 or Tropical Storm by the time it gets here. Unfortunately for those who live in the coast, their shit is going to get pushed in by a slow moving Major Hurricane. My daughter was...

    House of the Dragon

    Ironically, this time period is the height of the dragon population. I believe the Targ's have 20 dragons before the Dance starts. This coming from only having 3 in the time of Aegon the Conqueror. So as you can imagine, just like the Targaeryans themselves, inbreeding takes a toll. Although as...

    House of the Dragon

    I don't know if you are being Chuk or you want actual answers, but I am going to assume it is the latter. The Starks do not get involved until the very end of the Dance of Dragons, essentially after everything is over. So if this show runs for 5 seasons, they would show up in Season 5. The...

    Ms. Marvel

    Outside of her fangirling of Captain Marvel, does it have any tie-ins to the greater MCU? Or is it isolated in a bubble like Moon Knight? I.E. do I need to watch this as it leads into something later like Loki/Wandavision/What If?, or just ignore it like Falcon & Winter Soldier.

    The Giganotosaurus in this is an animatronic, like Rexy in the original movies. This endears to me (there are apparently a lot of animatronics in this one, from watching the behind the scenes stuff). At least they seem to be trying to give the series a good send off. Can't be any worse than...

    I am just repeating myself here, but he obviously didn't earn this shot, and he isn't a contender in today's FW. His trademarks are still present at least, hits hard, keeps going through an ass beating. But yeah, he never stood a chance here. On the plus side, his defensive wrestling has...

    Yeah, letting himself get backpacked twice, and being super reckless and almost giving it away in the 4th isn't a great look. Edit: I would like to see the scorecards, but that reads like they gave Aljo 1-3, which is the least likely way I thought he would win this fight.

    So this all depends on if they gave Sterling 10-8's. If he got two, he wins even if he loses the other 3. If he got 1 I would say its a draw. If he got none, he loses 3-2.

    I admit, I have never liked Sterling but... has he always come out as Jamaican? I thought he was American? It doesn't matter at all, that just seems off to me. Edit: Sterling absolutely got in Yan's head. I have never seen him fight so aggressive. Don't know if it is going to cost him, but...

    He still had something left in the tank. Was he tired and a bit rocked? Absolutely. I just call gassed at: heavyweight we are leaning on each other on the fence and throw half assed short shots. He was still throwing heat and not just winging hooks, he was still using his kicks, his jab and...

    Yeah, Khamzat is not the immortal he was up until this fight, but he is absolutely for real. Good power, way better striking than his contemporary power wrestler (Khabib), ludicrously strong and obviously phenomenal grappling. And now we learned he won't gas in 15 even after getting hit really...

    Even beyond the ridiculous hype, there is a lot of reason for that. We can see it now, Khamzat is huge versus Gilbert and he hits hard and has phenomenal wrestling. In theory, he has the skills to match Gil and definitely the height/reach.

    Yan is very far ahead of the BW division right now. While Sterling is longer and taller than Yan, so was Sandhagen, so that didn't help for shit. In their first fight, Sterling threw out a bunch of ineffective offense into Yan's guard in the early rounds, gassing himself out. He was well on...

    2 of these 3 are great. Jiri is awesome, and for Glover's sake I hope he can get it to the ground. Otherwise it is going to look very much like exactly what this fight is, a dude in his 20's beating a dude in his 40's to death. I think Vettori is the only guy in the top 5 of MW that...
