    XCOM 2

    A disoriented or frozen codex doesn't clone, a disoriented sectoid can't use psychic powers. Reinforcements get decimated by overwatch unless they drop in at a very inconvenient time/place. The ascension chambers are kinda half-assed, but pretty much every 'boss fight' in the game involves...

    XCOM 2

    Hard to say what build order is optimal. I still feel like resistance ring and GTS are the best two starting facilities, and I'm leaning towards ring first. Getting covert ops online asap is a nice source of extra stuff like stats or even promotions for your units, and doing the first hunt the...

    XCOM 2

    Of all the viable things to bitch about in WotC, Lost sitreps really aren't one of them. "Basically every mission" is a load of shit.

    XCOM 2

    I wasn't expecting the ascension chamber to be the exact same for the warlock as it was for the assassin, I don't see how the hunter can be any threat at all when he starts so close to you and has so little room to maneuver.

    XCOM 2

    My templar face tanked an andromedon and then the andromedon shell while also killing about 10 lost, without taking any damage yesterday when a 2 man covert op got ambushed. It was pretty clutch seeing as how his partner was only a sergeant. Getting bladestorm as one of his XCom skills would...

    Can't get multiple shots from guardian if you have the bolt caster equipped. *edit* Also, it's possible for a Reaper to roll up tactical rigging as one of their possible XCom bonus abilities you can buy. Holy shit is that OP.

    XCOM 2

    Wonder if you can get multiple rulers or a ruler and a chosen on the same map at once. Probably not but that would be hilarious. *edit* Can you imagine doing the final mission with all three chosen and all three rulers on the map?

    XCOM 2

    Oh they can flee from the facility where you encounter them? LOL Still better than them just randomly showing up after you do the narrative mission pre-WotC, or randomly showing up with no warning at all like they did pre-WotC with the narrative mission turned off. My biggest problem...

    XCOM 2

    There's a setting at the beginning that rebalances the DLC for WotC and it's defaulted to on, so you turned it off. With the rebalance, the rulers no longer show up randomly but instead each one is tied to a random facility.

    XCOM 2

    Killed the assassin, glad she (it? xir?) is finally gone because she's by far the most annoying of the chosen to fight. Final fight was a bitch, took a lot of wounds but didn't lose anyone. It's a shame that (presumably) something bad happens if you leave a chosen at maximum knowledge because if...

    XCOM 2

    Yeah I meant that literally, as in you must have none. Only one I run is Capnbubs accessory pack because it was already updated for WotC. Without a WotC update, basically any mod crashes the game instantly.

    I can run the game fine but every time I quit to desktop my computer shits itself for like 5 minutes.

    Yeah Sol and then the final boss(es) of season 1 were such a pita that Alim eventually nerfed them.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah I have this theory that they don't actually want everyone in Westeros knowing that Arya was trained by the faceless men.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Show LF was ruined the moment he sold Sansa to the Boltons. There was no saving the character after he did something so fucking stupid. In the books she's still safe and sound in the Eyrie because Jeyne Poole was the one sent off to the Boltons as a fake Arya. They basically wrote LF into a...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It is and it isn't. The nudity in the show was getting rather gratuitous, and if she wanted any hope of having a career that didn't involve nudity in every single project, it was a smart move. She never said anything prudish about not liking nudity, merely that it should serve a purpose. It...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm still sad whatever his name was got banned. Can you imagine how fucking salty he must be about those script leaks he called '100% fan fiction' being completely accurate?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah Sansa hadn't figured out LF's latest game yet, so her sending away the one person who would definitely intervene to protect her from Arya was profoundly retarded.

    If she dies giving birth to a boy, Maggie's prophecy is still fulfilled in an abstract sort of way. Uh, the Mad King still burned Ned's father and brother alive

    Or a direct implication of their death in a situation where there would be absolutely no reason for them to survive, since someone is undoubtedly going to respond to this with 'wut about Stannis'

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Bran isn't omniscient. Everything he has displayed knowledge of is stuff he would have reason to go looking for. I wonder what happened to Arya, oh she's a trained assassin now. I wonder what happened to Sansa, oh that's hot, I wish my dick still worked. I wonder what happened to Dad, oh...

    McGregor vs Mayweather - Aug 26

    That's taking it too far. My assumption is that the fight was 'rigged' in the sense that they were really boxing, but had a gentleman's agreement that Mayweather would take it easy on him for the start of the fight so McGregor wouldn't look like a total chump. As it is, all I see anyone talking...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Oh for some reason I was thinking she just said his name was Aegon, I forgot she said Aegon Targaryen. Still, his sister was on the verge of death due to exsanguination from a bad childbirth. If I had to guess whether Ned assumed she meant Aegon Sand or Ned assumed that Rhaegar annulled his...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He still thought Jon was the rape-bred bastard of Rhaegar Targaryen though, Lyanna didn't live long enough to say otherwise. He did his duty raising Jon, but keeping him around was a profound insult to his wife and a constant reminder of Lyanna being kidnapped and raped which led to his father...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    What else is he supposed to do with a 'bastard' that his wife hates? *edit* Also now that I think about it, it really makes sense now why he never told Catelyn the truth. It wasn't just about her loathing of Jon making the cover story seem authentic. He knew his wife was a fucking idiot all along.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Finishing the scene? They were married at least 9 months before that scene at the Tower of Joy. Nothing that happened at the tower suggested that the kidnapping story was false, so he had no reason to go rummaging through Lyanna's history to find the annulment to Elia and ensuing marriage to Lyanna.

    Yeah people who shuffle a turn one idol really are clueless. It may seem like a weak play to make a golem but you're ramping up all your future golems when you do it.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm guessing it was more that he was just looking at all the stuff that happened to his various family members and stumbled upon her marriage to Ramsay. He never went looking for Lyanna marrying Rhaegar because it never occurred to him to doubt the kidnapping story. Like, he can't just go...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Actually I still don't get that one, unless the point was to keep stringing Littlefinger along? But that's retarded. It was obviously just contrived by the writers to at least briefly reunite Brienne and Jaime, and they already had everything they needed to justify Littlefinger's execution.

    Must have friction burns on his dick at this point In the episode where they took Casterly Rock, didn't they say something about how the Unsullied didn't have the supplies to march all the way to King's Landing?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I assume that they either conspired beforehand to have him make up some pretext to appear to be deserting, or she threatened/coerced him before he could leave the city.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    She wouldn't have the Mountain arrest him, but if he had enough time to take off his armor then she could have had him arrested before he got out of King's Landing. Letting him leave to go give them early confirmation that the Lannister armies aren't coming and spoil the surprise about the...
