    Yeah I saw that on reddit, 'mimic beacon project' is fucking perfect.

    My timer was actually longer on legendary. I got ~20 days on veteran but 28 days on legendary. And yeah I think you're stuck doing the story missions earlier than you might like to if you can't get to a facility in time.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I always assumed that all of the plans required Tommen to die either way, and it wouldn't require Stannis to die, just that nobody back his claim, which nobody would have. And when I'm talking about his grandson, that's because Trystane wouldn't be king if Myrcella's claim to the Iron Throne had...

    XCOM 2

    Yeah that 20+ day timer completely resets every time you knock a bar back off. I don't know if you can actually go indefinitely (Firaxis said you couldn't before launch) but you can definitely drag the game out an incredibly long time if you wanted.

    Eh, I guess. I wasn't maining any top tier heroes at the time so I suppose I didn't have much to compare him to.

    Did he get nerfed and I didn't notice? He sure seemed top notch for the first month or so.

    Heh, guess I was wrong about it being something serious and it's Vince being a dumbfuck on a power trip. From a different angle you can see Vince shove Titus pretty hard after the grab, so who exactly is the one guilty of unprofessional conduct? Terrible PR, especially with it leaking out that...

    Are you saying this experience made you depressed? Cause I feel down just reading it.

    Why would you still be spending gold on GvG? Hell I wait longer than most to start saving gold and I'm already saving for the next xpac.

    XCOM 2

    It's not very memorable. It sure as hell isn't the ballbuster that OG/EW base defense was, that's for damn sure. It's hardly different from the 'destroy the transmitter' guerrilla ops, except you have to move back to the beginning to extract instead of killing all enemies, and if any enemies get...

    XCOM 2

    I wasn't using a sharpshooter. 2x grenadier, 1x ranger, 1x specialist until my psi-ops were ready. Snipers are just plain terrible early on, which I suppose is balanced by how awesome they get later.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You're absolutely right, I got turned around there. I think what I meant to say was 'I assume his plan in the show was to put his future grandson on the Iron Throne'

    XCOM 2

    Oh I learned something about the avenger defense mission on that playthrough as well. If you haven't already had an avenger defense, completing the codex coordinate mission (or maybe it's how many story missions you do, i always did blacksite-blacksite coords-codex coords) spawns a hunter UFO...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I agree, looks more like Jaime, which would basically make it just about the six most important characters left in the story dead? Not gonna happen. Even if GRRM was nihilistic enough to write that, no way would the show writers be willing to unequivocally alienate their entire fan base.

    Would have been a lot more interesting if Jay told them to go pound sand when Barry wanted to lock him up.

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    Not directly copying the comics isn't screwing up.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Wouldn't be much of a show if they killed off damn near the entire cast. Seems a bit much even for GRRM.

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    Ok, for the sake of argument, how many other 'two people in one body' characters are there in DC? Because if he's Darkseid level in the comics and just generic flying blaster in the show, the two people thing has to be the only reason they picked him. Or I suppose they could have picked some...

    XCOM 2

    It's because mobility doesn't directly translate into how many squares you can move, although I don't know the exact math behind it.

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    I didn't bring those up, Caliane did. And, just like Firestorm, none of their power changes actually affect the plot at all. And again, Darkseid level powers have absolutely no place in the Arrowverse. I assume they picked Firestorm for the uniqueness of two people sharing a body, and aside from...

    XCOM 2

    Were you blue moving then yellow moving, or just dashing from your start point? Doing your blue move first frequently gets you an extra square of distance on your yellow.

    Hearthstone

    Yeah I wouldn't expect it to be a popular opinion. I don't want to sound like a CCG elitist or anything but I played Magic during the original combo winter of Academy, Mind Over Matter, and Memory Jar which was so broken it actually got an emergency ban. Unfortunately I got back into the game...

    Hearthstone

    I said reasonable, not likely. But I can dream! Honestly, a stale meta like this one is far worse to me than shit like the days of Undertaker and Patron. I had some fun decks that would absolutely mop the floor with Patron while still being perfectly competitive against the rest of the ladder...

    XCOM 2

    That is indeed a much better and more accurate way to describe how high cover works. Basically when you're in high cover, the enemy doesn't have LoS to the square you're in, it has LoS to your step-out squares. Which occasionally created some really dumb LoS failures in EW/EU but they seem to...

    Seems like a reasonable chance considering the 6 hour downtime.

    yeah, story mode. Do chapters 8-10, and you'll almost certainly hit 60 before you finish ch 10, maybe even before you start it. Story mode is worth tons of xp now. fast 1-60 level : vengers

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Except the plot in the books gives House Martell a chance at taking control of Westeros from House Lannister through Myrcella and Trystane, or at least muscling in on Lannister control even if they can't out them completely until the next generation. But the son of Queen Myrcella Baratheon and...

    XCOM 2

    I'll answer this the best I can based on what I know of how cover worked in EU/EW, and near as I can tell very little or nothing changed with cover. For starters, if you are not directly adjacent to cover, you are exposed, which is the same as flanked. Certain aliens (Archons, Mecs...

    I can only assume that Titus went full retard and was actually pissed at Vince over something, and he'd have been suspended even if it hadn't been caught on camera. If it had been over some minor thing or just horseplay, I doubt he even would have been suspended in favor of the WWE not drawing...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Blade, Doom, Jean, Rogue (maybe, she's still in major flux from her power overhaul), Scarlet Witch, Spiderman, and War Machine are top tier, so you're pretty safe playing SW. Nothing is a must buy, although starting with Ant-man I started buying hero bundles with cash instead of using splinters...

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    In the original DoFP, Kitty was sent back to her younger body by Rachel Summers. In the movie timeline Jean and Cyclops didn't live long enough for Rachel to be born. Having Kitty instead have the time travel powers barely changes the story at all, although XMen constantly being the Wolverine...

    You could maybe pull it off on commander without mimic beacons, but I don't see how you could possibly do it on legendary unless you got impossibly lucky. Like, luckier than winning the powerball lucky. Anyway, like I said, 95% luck, 5% skill, and I attribute most of that 5% to tactics I...
