    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's not that they followed the books, its that they said 'THIS IS HOW GEORGE IS DOING IT IN THE BOOKS DONT YELL AT US'. Which is absolutely spoiling the fuck out of Winds of Winter. *edit* Now I hope GRRM rewrites it in the book so Stannis burns Jeyne Poole thinking she's actually Arya...

    XCOM 2

    It's possible to get an exalt attack which is generally considered easier than an alien attack, but yes, it's a full base defense every time it happens. Long War is serious business. SRS BSNS

    Incidentally XCOM 2s Exciting Modding Potential -- IGN First - IGN That has to be about the highest praise I've ever seen from game devs to mod devs in my life.

    XCOM 2

    In Long War the base defense is no longer a scripted part of the central arc, and like the originals your base can be attacked multiple times.

    XCOM 2

    Only certain council missions and dlc missions. Base defense has timed drop-ins, which are potentially a lot more difficult.

    XCOM 2

    The flip side being that on higher difficulties, early DLC/council missions would be damn near impossible with timed or random drop ins, instead of scripted ones. At least Long War randomized the scripts a bit for some of them.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    How does having his brother killed make him a bad guy? If he didn't have Renly assassinated, he was going to have to go to war with him, on account of Renly trying to usurp his claim. Let's not forget that Stannis is the rightful heir to House Baratheon, Renly was not. He betrayed his brother...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Do they even have any reason to suspect Rickon is still alive in the show? If they assume Bran and Rickon are dead, then Sansa is the heir of House Stark, and conveniently, she's in Winterfell married to Ramsay.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yes, the novels are absolutely terrible by adult standards. I believe Weis and Hickman own Dragonlance now because WotC didn't want it anymore. Dragonlance Fifth Age did irrevocable damage to the popularity of the setting, and the pseudo-retcon of the Sixth Age wasn't enough to get interest back.

    XCOM 2

    It's possible to get rushed a bit at the very beginning of Friends in Low Places, but what you should be doing is hunkering down at the beginning for several turns to deal with the first wave of drop ins + any patrols. Only then do you start moving forward to trigger more drop ins.

    1) Completely talking out of your ass. I just checked on 4 random mech shaman deck lists from the Viagame House Cup #3, and all 4 lists run double fel reaver. Savjz ladder mech shaman list (which was the only ladder list I could find after a brief search) also runs double fel reaver. 2) This...

    Yeah it's almost like they were directly based on dragons from some kind of tabletop game or something.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well if he just did what I assume ya'll are talking about, yes, he's definitely off the 'potential good guy' list and is firmly on the 'just as ruthless as every other rotten bastard in Westeros' list. I wonder what the hell his plans are for an heir if he takes the throne. Maybe annul his...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's the same reason they decided to graphically kill Talisa in the show, when Robb doesn't even bring Jeyne to the wedding due to that whole 'bringing his wife would be a slap in Walder Frey's face thing'

    Hearthstone

    Except combo decks like freeze mage or inner fire priest are fair, and allow your opponent chances to interact with you and interfere with the combo. Decks like leeroy miracle and patron give you minimal chance to interact with them and basically no response to the combo. All because of charge.

    Hearthstone

    Mech shaman, which is a completely viable ladder deck, still runs Fel Reaver. I used it to finish getting my shaman to 60 a couple weeks ago. And he wasn't far off, if Dr Boom hadn't made BGH a staple of 90% of the decks in the format, Fel Reaver would absolutely be a common inclusion in aggro...

    Hearthstone

    Yeah the Nat Pagle treatment isn't a bad idea, but unfortunately I think that would still be enough to cut him from damn near every deck except maybe handlock and combo druid. He'd definitely be gone from freeze mage. Hell, the fact that freeze mage runs him at all is proof of how overpowered...

    BTW, since nobody is posting about it in this thread, fair warning. Episodes 9 and 10 were leaked early, so tread carefully everywhere on the internet if you want to avoid spoilers.

    Hearthstone

    I'll be surprised if they don't nerf both Warsong Commander (again) AND Emperor Thaurissan. He's wildly imbalanced. I mean really, he is potentially the equivalent of 4.5 innervates when you cast him, and depending on what your opponent has in hand, resolving him may have just won them the game...

    I did, and it was totally awesome. Granted, I was 12. But let's face it, Streetfighter is STILL a totally awesome movie.

    Hearthstone

    Eh, the problem card is Warsong Commander again, just like it was back during the days of Warrior OTK. Without commander the deck is forced to leave the combo hanging ass out on the board giving you a turn to answer it. They probably need to just remove commander completely and give warriors a...

    In my opinion, we'll never make any serious inroads into exploration of our solar system, much less interstellar travel, until we transition into some sort of post-scarcity global government. Obviously that can't happen unless someone conquers everyone else, or until we experience a...

    Shaman and Priest are both terrible in the current meta. that goofy Inner Fire bullshit I was playing yesterday is probably the best priest deck to play atm, if that gives you any idea how bad Priest is right now.

    You disconnected from the game, there's no exploit. When that happens you need to close the client right away and reopen it, hopefully you'll reconnect to the match before you lose a turn.

    It also may be that FTL travel isn't actually possible. Which means colonizing the galaxy would take a few million years, and assuming you could sustain a speed of 99% of the speed of light the entire trip, it would still take over 2.5 million years to get to the Andromeda galaxy. So you would...

    Yeah that's the real question, is how much of his winnings has gone up his nose. And it may be that he just likes fighting. I could see him thumbing his nose at the UFC to crush cans in Bellator for awhile, but a fluke loss over there would destroy him. So yeah, he'll be back in the UFC at some...

    Wait a minute, shouldn't that have been leaked as a season 5 location if it was going to be Drogon's perch? Unless they're going to show her fly off but not show where she lands until next season?
