My thoughts exactly, something to look forward to!

The sequence with the group of mages advancing up the canyon towards the defending pirate king and his lackeys was hilariously bad. All in all the show is fine. It's easy to watch because the characters on the whole are pretty likeable.

Zeppelin 4

Final 2 episodes are out. Second season was definitely heavily condensed but it wrapped up pretty well. A lot of death.

I do recall a few times her lines or actions felt out of character so she probably needed to put her foot down even more! Was a very fun show though. Looking forward to S2 if it eventuates.

Yes that was always a problem in sorties which required 3/3 spy missions to be completed successfully. I'd usually tell people that if they're not confident about what they're doing to just stand and wait for others to complete them.

Some of the new missions are actually tuned for high power frames which is interesting. I went into an exterminate with my trusty Ignis Wraith and actually failed because I ran out of time. Have to go back with a Saryn or Mesa and teach them a lesson.

Tell that to Cities: Skylines. I'm not hating though, DLC bloated Paradox games like Stellaris are still awesome.

Yeah the latest episode of this was a lot of fun. Some eps have been dull but most have been enjoyable.

You mean in her final minutes of life, right before she was executed arbitrarily by the incel president for rejecting his advances, being a threat to his power etc? Didn't pick the strongest example there did you mate?

S2 is up on prime video.

Simply not true. Like any mechanic harvests output can be greatly improved but it is perfectly profitable with 0 sextant, just alch & go. Obviously you block other mechanics in the atlas, that goes without saying. Most people's lack of income I expect is more likely speed related. If you take...

You can generate currency by picking all essence and harvest nodes in the atlas and just running whatever maps you have "alch & go".. It's obviously nowhere near as efficient as a more robust atlas strategy but having those mechanics in the maps whereby all the loot directly translates into...

Same here, know little about the game other than it's an apparently good zombie game, not even sure the genre. Show is excellent.

Wife & I both really enjoyed this. The middle of the movie before M3gan goes into killbot mode was the strongest I think. I laughed out loud at how good the use of movement and facial expressions on the robot was.

It's very Japanese. If you like the high stakes games and philosophical conversations then it's good. If you don't then you'd probably hate it. Second half of S1 was a bit rough for me although it did pick up right at the end. S2 was mostly great IMO.

This show is wild.. most of the games in s2 were excellent and the show actually ended cleanly.. such a rarity.

Aloy is a likeable female protagonist in a modern game. Not defensive or hostile, she is more understanding, stoic and compassionate. I think I commented earlier in the thread but the demo was enough to turn me off Forspoken because of how intolerable the main character (and bracelet)s banter was.

I think you need to let go of the idea that things in the movie (especially peoples motivations) need to make sense. But in general yes, Chef Slowik didn't tell Elsa about the barrel, then chastised her in front of Margot about 'forgetting it' then sent Margot to go fetch it. He was also showing...

His girlfriend broke up with him and he needed a +1 since they don't do bookings for 1 so he hired her.

Well world saga.

Nona the Ninth. Another fun read. Author must be having a good laugh coming up with the gimmicks for each book in this series. It was easier to follow than Harrow even though it dials the soul-of-one-person-in-the-body-of-another up to 11.

This is very bad. It feels like a 10 episode show where they cut it down to 4, except most of what they left in what should have been cut first. The plot does contain the core of something which could have been a reasonable explanation for the conjunction of spheres but too many pieces have been...

It was a lot of fun, very easy and enjoyable to watch. Plot holes you can fly the enterprise through but that doesn't even matter. Amazingly Kathryn Hahn is the weakest character in the movie and I love Kathryn Hahn. Burst out laughing when Benoir ruined the game, so funny!

Movie is just a beautiful tech demo. It's basically the same movie as the first one but even better looking. I didn't get bored, it was easy to watch but I did get the feeling that I'd really prefer to be doing something else. And it looks like the third movie is probably going to be the same...

Primarch/Heresy stuff is what "everyone" will want, they just need Avatar level budgets. No problem!

Has anyone played crisis core reunion and can report on how good it is/isn't? The game play videos I've seen make it look very similar to FF7R which I loved. I know nothing about the original crisis core.

No those are pretty much all really low tier mods / rolls. The +1 to level of all skill gems is worth a few c, but apart from that its pretty garbage. Cannibalistic Rite is niche as well I think.

I enjoyed the actual gameplay of the demo but yeah I found both the protagonist and the talking wristband to be pretty cringe.

Does that work? I thought I remembered reading that it didn't.

I'm going to league start the new volcanic fissure skill via totems. I might be in for a bad time but fuck it.

I think of it more as them trying to change the meta so it doesn't get stale. I enjoy coming back to the game every year and finding things changed.

I've started playing Satisfactory multiplayer recently. It's fun to work with others and see other people's build styles in game. I'm scaling up fuel production and building a computer factory while someone else is somewhere else working on a new motor and heavy frame factory.

Umbrella Academy, S3 was better than S2. All of us are Dead

The way the tension just slowly built throughout the episode was pure art. Probably my #2 show of the year behind Severance. Absolutely wonderful television!

I haven't played stellaris in quite a while but last time I did my usual strategy against FE was large ships at range. Artillery Battleships and support capital ships to give more range (ie Juggernaut with the range aura). Torp corvette swarm could also work if you don't have enough firepower...

This is a great little game, I'm enjoying the randomness.. Like someone else said, there's no standard build order because objectives each map are so random and different. Because I'm still learning things I've made stupid mistakes like picking orders that are impossible to complete several times.

So I guess the 7 and 9 rings are not even going to exist in this show, unless Sauron is going to do it himself? Odd since the closing of the show was a song about the 7,9,3 & 1 rings.

On holiday in the US, NY specifically. Wife suggests we go out and see some live music. I say sure. She shows me a list of gigs for tonight. I look at it, don't recognise any of them, tell her to book whatever she wants that's suitable for the kids as well. She books the cheapest one on the...

Thanks I'll see if I can arrange that. Is there anywhere in the capital riverfront area of DC where there's decent concentration of retail shops like clothing etc? Area has heaps of food but little retail that I can find.
