    Do you also watch those various Ancient Aliens shows on the history channel? Cause I'm starting to think you might be my dad.

    too subtle. pretty damn funny now that you've angrily pointed out the missed joke though.

    Woohoo, is there a 'Not the worst poster in the thread' plaque to go with that glowing praise? :-p

    Targaryen dragons have AoE taunt as a racial, Drogon just forgot to pop shield wall first.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Except she's not even good at staying alive. She'd be dead at least a couple times if not for the direct intervention of other people. I mean christ, she's so dumb she genuinely thought she'd still be marrying Joffrey right up until the moment he had their engagement set aside. The only time...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    BECAUSE I HATE IT SO MUCH!!! I mean yeah I guess I'm slowly getting dragged back into it, so I'll probably catch back up some time during the offseason. And then Winds of Winter will come out, I'll read it despite swearing not to, and get all buttmad again.

    If Theon ever actually admits it wasn't Bran and Rickon he killed, unless he already has.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If she actually does this ridiculous Darth Sansa turn next season, it will be the most disappointing thing I can imagine coming out of the show.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The implication in the books is that she augments her real powers with a considerable amount of theatrics to make her seem more than she is.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Here's something sort of interesting that I was about to comment on in the no spoiler thread, but then I thought maybe it would be considered spoilery? Have they ever addressed that whole half charlatan/half legit power thing Melisandre has in books on the show? Cause there is that theory...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Is this actually confirmed in the text, or is it just speculation based on the fact that she has tacitly admitted being half a charlatan to the reader? Because she was able to use the vagina monster twice in the books, it wasn't just Renly. Now it does suggest that if she had to summon a vagina...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Are you serious? I haven't even watched the episode, but it seems clear from the comments that HE WAS GOING TO FUCKING DIE. So yes, in fact, he's burning Shireen for King's Landing and all the rest of Westeros, not just Winterfell.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He's still a Stark even if he's also a Targaryen, and the Lyanna/Rhaegar theory is the only theory I've seen where Ned isn't his father.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    My guess is that they won't actually kill Jon in the show. Or maybe we'll get the same cliffhanger, and then it will be whether WoW or the next season comes out first.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Something like this is my guess, unless GRRM is planning to have Drogon eat Stannis right near the end.

    Nah, in the books Shireen and Selyse are chilling at Castle Black with Melisandre and Jon Snow.

    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.
  26. Gavinmad

    XCOM 2

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

    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...
