As I said before it was genius to put the end of each 'book' in the middle of the seasons so that you maximize the engagement of the audience by having season premiere, book climax, start of new book, and season finale during every season.

Well that's excessive... a good way to bleed some cash out of the economy though

I did ship combat a couple times but then realized it was just easier to full speed ahead and board them where my guys quickly beat the crap out of the opposing team. Especially since you get your benchwarmers to participate as NPCs As others have noticed I realized that starting about when I...

First season was based on a story written by Kris Straub who is a webcomic guy but perhaps better known from more recent Acquisitions Incorporated stuff on Penny Arcade where he is K'Thriss Drow'b

The plotline in Deadfire is a lot more coherent than the POE1 plot. I mean I enjoyed POE1, but without the DLC expansions the main storyline is kinda crap. The first game is just a mystery box worthy of JJ Abrams where you follow a breadcrumb trail and then at the end some off the wall...

Saw this launched and was intrigued...but then saw no magic system :( I know Conan is traditionally a very low magic world and the original MMO probably had way too much magic for the setting, but I really can't get into it if its just Spartacus with Snakes.

What else would one use? I suppose Unity based on having seen a few that use it. I am a bit surprised that no one had really opened up a major engine with the various hooks necessary to support various MMO-type functions like gear / inventory / progression etc.

Quite true. A-listers should also take a lesson from Master Reynolds on the proper application of marketing.

People in PR and media management should be building a case file of this stuff for the next time Hollywoo-D-list-Celebrity-#5 balks at having to do a press junket

Blizzard has done a good job since WoD of remembering that Draenei exist, heck Valen was even a core part of the Legion plot. The Gilneans have also been embraced mostly due to them wanting to showcase their CGI fur in cutscenes. The seem to have forgotten about the Pandaren though. Other...

I've been playing with level scaling and things were fairly challenging at the start, but after level 12 or so things get really quite easy. I think more than anything else it's the survivability boost you get around that time which means you aren't beholden to manually targeted defense and...

I'm far enough now that I feel comfortable in saying

There are definitely some 'WTF??' items for sale at various merchants. Its like some tanned person standing at their open air stall selling potable water, hard tack, salted pork, cannon shot and The One Ring.

It seems sanity has returned and they will be taking racials and activated trinkets off the GCD in the next Beta Patch.

I actually don't mind using the default AI for many of the battles, especially trash battles. It is, however, super annoying how the wizards love to drop fireballs on the front line melee group. Well that and the relatively short range of things means people always end up clumped as hell...

We are at the juncture where it's put-up-or-shut-up time for streaming services to put a nail in the coffin of live broadcast. No one wants to watch scripted drama live anymore, they just don't. Broadcast networks still have news and sports within their wheelhouse owing to the immediacy...

The true measure of the quality of this show is the sheer number of times I yell "DAAAMN Bitch!" St the screen. For the record we are averaging 5-6 per episode this season

I actually restarted (I wasn't far along) to undo some of my multiclass choices and also because I felt the urge to take full advantage of the Critical Role voice DLC by making a Scanlan-appropriate main character.

There is a dominoes near me that is a very independent franchise which, apparently, is still using the old old OLD recipe / ingredient sourcing from back in the 90s. Someone brought Dominoes to a gathering and we all gave them a caustic glare until we tried a slice and it was, astonishingly...

I managed to player PoE without ever encountering Pallegina (had no idea she existed until I saw some previews for this game) so I wonder if she will show up for me or not. Then again I'm also curious as to what happens if your Eder or Aloth were dead...who do you get as an early companion in POE2?

I'm sticking to the main companions as their stories tend to be pretty interesting,plus who could ever turn down the lovablr country bumpkin Eder?!? I decided to multiclass everyone so far which makes for a quite interesting mix of abilities. It's a good thing I did this for my main especially...

Holy cow. I thought the original was very cool, but nearly every aspect of the game system has been improved. Wandering overland is much more sensible and adventure focused without being just trapsing around a map in stealth mode, the combat abilities / resting system makes more cohesive...

I realized last night I had never actually finished the final battle in the original... Was not expecting the ending that I got and also did not realize the extent to which my decisions would impact the world. Not sure if I want to import into the sequel given the sad state of affairs.

So tried the StormSong zone on Beta and the storyline and overall experience was much better...for the first half of the zone. After the 'intermission' the second half was fairly lackluster and featured some of the worst quest geography I've ever encountered in a Razorfen Kraul like area of...

Exclusive: Thanos is coming to 'Fortnite' for epic 'Infinity War' crossover Their marketing people are just crushing it.

Its always entertaining coming into the class overhaul as part of the expansion pre-season and seeing which of the massive changes to classes you play irritates you the least. I really wanted to run with my Mistweaver Monk for this expansion but it just feels so damn clunky with these basic-ass...

Nathan Petrelli finally gets useful super powers

I happen to personally know many of the people engaged in the Assembly Integration and Test of JWST. I'd place the 'fuck this up' chance as northward of 70%

We need you at a 5... 5 and a half tops

Given the Press Release they put out I expect this is more than just a streaming service. I would expect it to include an All-Access 'Spotify' type model for ebook versions of comics.

I've loved BattleTech for ages since I got the original Battledroids box set for $2 at Big Lots. (Also got the Battlestar Galactica starship combat game there for $1) That having been said, the whole notion of mechs that walk around on two legs and thus are prone to falling down is just...

This is a good argument for subscription-based revenue streams... if you need to keep people happy to pull in the big bucks vs one time sales things are different.

I wonder what its like at Bungie right now. Do they know how bad it is? Surely they must right?

After someone mentioned that Destiny 2 was on sale at Best Buy for $10 this week I was motivated to think about how we got here. I rewatched the original opening cinematic complete with Bill Nighy's narration and you know what? I STILL want to play that game... The whole bit where the...

Very polished and highly thematic. Its an interesting spin on a 'city building' / 'resource gathering' game. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Eventually Rocket has to encounter a Racoon...

I made mention in a totally different thread about how incredibly awesome the original WoW vanilla zone designs were. Not only did they do all sorts of occlusion tricks to ensure the rendering and display of textures stayed butter smooth, but they also were incredibly efficient in terms of...

These bastards cannot offer me enough credit for any 'guard' mission. Fuck that noise especially when trying to protect things that are seemingly made out of graham crackers and frosting.

I think its safe to say that Thanos is not entirely sane... So ascribing completely rational behavior to him is somewhat pointless. That's not to say that his ideas are without merit, but he clearly never really thought all of this through.
