    Yeah Shredders/Shredstorms are unreal. and no, Psi-Ops absolutely do not need to be nerfed considering how long it takes to train one, the fact that you can't use them during that long training process, and the fact that the order they get their powers is completely random so you have to train...

    They were part of the EU release, they were just turned off in the ini until one of the patches.

    So right after the Van Doorn mission, Beagle had a crop of recruits show up and he named one after Van Doorn. Long story short, the RNG gods smiled upon Van Doorn. He survived certain death, made impossible shots, and in general just saved the fucking day whenever it needed saved. He was epic...

    Just keep doing the story missions. So I beat it, went to start a new game, and saw that there were no second wave options. Seriously? They decided to just say fuck it and let modders handle it?

    The Shannara Chronicles

    Well if they kill Allanon they can't really do Wishsong unless they're turning him into a spirit early. Which would be yet another dumb and pointless departure from the books. And no it definitely looked like pointless and inane crazy torturer trope guy had those wires clipped to her...

    Hearthstone

    Well if you want to change druids you have to take away mana ramping and rebalance them around that, but Blizzard obviously isn't going to do that. If you nerf force/roar and maybe even nerf some of their other classic stuff on top of that, nothing you release in the next expansion is going to...

    The Shannara Chronicles

    Finally got around to watching it and this show is fucking awful. I don't mind the Twilight style terrible romance bullshit, but what the fuck is with all these wild ass departures from the books? And honestly I think Slanter is the worst one. SLANTER IS FROM FUCKING WISHSONG NOT ELFSTONES. This...

    Burning says it prevents some abilities from being used, but I assume you'd have to look at the text for each ability to see exactly what it prevents.

    Yeah blowing up the roof is one of my favorite ways to break concealment. Powered heavy weapons are absurd. Like crazy absurd. Especially the Shredstorm cannon.

    I didn't use one for the first half of the game or so, until I got a LT sharpshooter as a reward. Between kill zone and serial, she sure as fuck is catching up though.

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    It would probably look fine if it wasn't in slow motion. Slowing it down rather dramatically emphasizes how incompatible her rotation and falling speed are with the laws of physics. She's falling too slow and rotating forward too slow.

    You juice them up with every +accuracy mod you can get (scope upgrade, tracer ammo, perception PCS) then park them on high ground with commanding LoS of where you expect to be fighting, and then rain down death. I think pistoliers are better for the first chunk of the game, but once you get one...

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    Show is continuing to be rather mediocre. Oh and I finally figured it out. Even though it's still paradoxical, if they continually go back in time after Savage he will get less and less prepared for them. If they keep going forward in time, he'll be more prepared for them every time.

    Proving ground. You have enough starting power for two facilities before you need to build a relay, and you won't even be able to buy the first squad size upgrade for a couple weeks anyway since it requires a SGT. Facility order for a basic opening should be proving, gts, power, radio *edit*...

    SMGs are terrible. The extra movement is mostly irrelevant because if you actually need that extra mobility when slash lets you use both your blue and yellow move, you're either running way too far forward and risking extra pod activation or your blademaster was way out of position in the first...

    Yeah I don't really think he was throwing the game just because of how unlikely it is, but I sure wouldn't be the least surprised if it came out somewhere down the road that he was.

    This is a guy who fearlessly dives for touchdowns with no regard for the possibility of career ending injuries, but he jumps away from a fumble when a recovery could have kept his team in the Super Bowl. I can't imagine what would be worth more to an NFL QB than a Super Bowl ring, which is...

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    Unless I misheard, the episode ended with them saying they're going right back after Savage in the 80s. I guess it's something of a paradox either way, but it makes more sense to me to go farther back in time after Savage each time you fail instead of going forward.

    He's a pretty good actor. I imagine it's hard to act sad when you're thinking about the millions of dollars that just got wired into your account in the Caymans for throwing the Superbowl.

    In other words, they're still completely incapable of learning from existing CCGs. Or from MTG at least. If certain classes (paladin, priest, maybe mage) are total dogshit with classic cards, then you're stuck trying to plug those gaps with every single new set you release, instead of having a...

    Haywire protocol can disable or control Sectopods and Mecs.. My combat hacker has a 100% chance to stun a Sectopod. That's a really big deal when you activate more than one pod.

    I suppose the Valkyr would work...if I was willing to spend 3200 dust. That's a pretty raw deal compared to getting cultists as part of a big chunk of cards in Naxx. and I wasn't saying losing chow would cripple dragon priest, I was saying the combination loss of multiple early game cards would...

    Shrinkmeister won't even be noticed, I haven't seen a single priest running him since a week or two after Entomb came out. Hell, I only run a single Cabal in my dragon priest list.

    Alex used to be a lot more common, entirely reasonable that she'll make just as much of a comeback as you're speculating Rag will. It's one thing to talk about cards that are already being played, but speculating about cards that aren't currently played is almost pointless until the expansion...
