    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.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    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...

    XCOM 2

    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...

    XCOM 2

    The achievement. There is nothing in the game stronger than squad size increases, so unless you're doing the achievement GTS should always be your opening facility on legendary. and really it was like 95% luck, 5% skill, 100% concentrated power of mimic beacons. I had one failed mission...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Margaery is the exception that proves the rule considering that it wasn't actually her fault, it was the actions of the dumbest cunt in Westeros that got Margaery arrested.

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    They did the same thing to Sunspot in Days of Future Past (turned him into nothing more than the human torch) and I don't remember hearing much complaining, or is that just because he wasn't important?

    XCOM 2

    The opening on the playthrough that worked was proving - awc - power - comms - workshop - psi. Think I built GTS after that. If you aren't buying squad size upgrades, the only good early tactic is vulture which isn't worth an early gts. Sucks having fewer chances at elerium cores, so you need a...

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    Also, just because it may have been consistent lately doesn't mean that the Flash hasn't always had a wildly inconsistent power level. In the comics can't he perceive shit in goddamn attoseconds? One-quintillionth of a second? I mean he literally could solve every problem in the world almost...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Except in the show Doran was adamantly in favor of peace, and iirc he was bitching Ellaria out in private and maybe even threatened to have her executed. If he had been doing that in front of Jaime maybe he could have been lying, but he wasn't. It seems most likely that Ellaria did it on her own...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That's pretty cut and dry. I hope they have some sort of explanation for why poisoning Myrcella wasn't a profoundly stupid thing to do with no possible outcome that would benefit Dorne.

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    Well they could bring him back at any time if his other gigs don't pan out (like what I'm sorta hoping happens with VanSanten) since A: he didn't actually die, he just fell into a black hole and B: even if you did see him die, it's a fucking comic book show. I love that dude hamming it up as...

    XCom 2 mod development

    I've never modded before. Don't expect anything beyond the most simple stuff for at least a month. Without someone to handhold me through writing a couple, the only way to teach myself is to try and reverse engineer existing mods.

    XCOM 2

    I'm open to the idea of doing 'who needs Tygan' on legendary ironman, but I damn sure wasn't going to risk that playthrough trying. Especially since I would have needed another year of game time to train up the psychics i would need.

    At no point is power continuity a valid point when it involves the Flash or characters in his comics/show.

    And never before in the history of tv and movies has a character had a different power level from the way he is portrayed in the source material.

    Because if he was Darkseid power level in the show, Savage would already be dead and the show would be over. What a dumb question.

    XCOM 2

    well when you have 6 soldiers, plus however many reserves for when you have wounded in your front 6, you won't have optimal weapon upgrades on everyone. Granted, if you get the third upgrade slot in your campaign it changes things pretty dramatically. God that's such a crazy continent bonus. I...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    It isn't confirmed, but as I speculated before, that being the case and Tony finding out seems like a real good reason for him to be so intent on catching Bucky that he'd go against Cap to get him. Otherwise I can't see Tony caring that much about some random assassin.

    XCOM 2

    I wouldn't object to that. Maybe redo Salvo so it allows Grenadiers to fire it with their second move, to reinforce that they are the heavy class. Anyway I just had the funniest goddamn one in a million sequence of events that will ever happen. Had a ranger up on a rooftop overwatched...

    Arrow

    All we really know is that the fatherbox is involved with his magic. I'd say it's more likely that the artifact is powering up the abilities he already has as opposed to just giving them to him. Also there is no way that artifact isn't what Reiter is looking for on the island. Was everyone...

    XCOM 2

    The problem is that heavy weapons (mostly just the shredder/shredstorm) are way too goddamn powerful, not that the default armors are weak. Both versions of the shredder could stand to have their damage halved and they'd still be really good. The straight line weapon is completely terrible...

    Free reload needs to be a separate option from reload instead of replacing it entirely. I'd like to be able to save my free reload(s) for the heat of combat if I get a brief lull to reload safely

    Although it hasn't happened to me yet, I suppose inevitably I will get totally fucked over by bladestorm when a viper grabs me, bladestorm interrupts the constrict, and then another alien shoots and kills my now flanked ranger.
