Thanks for the input. I don't need the best or anything so if I got a 7800 XT, I likely wouldn't worry too much about the Prime Day or Black Friday deals offering something a bit better. But I am not in a rush either, so may just wait a bit to see what the possibilities are.

Whats the best value for video cards these days? My desktop is 6 years old and has a GTX 1070 in it. I was speccing out a new build and was looking at the RTX 4070 vs the Radeon 7800 XT or maybe even stepping up to the 4070 TI vs Radeon 7900 XT, but no higher than that. As far as use case, I run...

Those pictures of Ishamael are just him doing his thing. Thats how he looked at the eye of the world and thats he looks now at Falme. That is Lanfear being Lanfear after she was revealed to Rand. No longer disguised as anyone and not trying to be incognito at all.

Its been a long time since I read those early books. Was that staged to give an excuse of why Moiraine could be away from the tower for so long? It was definitely nothing like them using the power on each other. I mean, they weren't lovers in the book either, so I dont know. They are going to...

I actually kind of like Ishamael's character. I think the actress for Lanfear is a decent fit, but I feel like they are portraying the character very contrary to the book Lanfear as far as how out in the open she is. Beyond that, its pretty bad casting all around. So many pointless plot...

Lee Pace definitely the best character on the show. Pretty much loved all his scenes. I tolerated the other story lines to get more Empire story, but never had too much interest in them.

As a book reader, its hard to watch. So many baffling changes and the casting is generally pretty bad. Rand and Moiraine are generally fine to me, but the rest just do not fit the book very well at all.

Sarah casting was great. I'm really on the fence regarding Ellie, but leaning towards not working for me. If they are going to do it, next episode should be...

Good episode overall. In the game, I remember it being like Bill was not open about it, but it was obvious in the letters you could find around his place. The emotional impact in this episode reminded me a bit of that one episode of "The Magicians" where Quentin and the other guy got stuck...

Hah maybe thats true. Its not because I loved Abby's character. I didn't hate her, but mainly I just like the world and the gameplay. I definitely would have rather played as Ellie throughout the whole thing.

I don't see how they could tell the full story of Part I in only 9 episodes. I think Lanx's thought to end Season 1 on the rebar moment would definitely make the most sense and a natural cliffhanger for season 2. Great cold open with Ellie creeping through that mall looking for antibiotics and...

I actually bought the first one for PS4 Pro, but wasn't even out of the starter region yet before life got busy. I still have to find time to finish AC: Origins, H:ZD, The Witcher, and RDR2 at some point. I have Elden Ring for PC, but haven't put a ton of time into yet. May just get it again on...

Just picked myself up a Horizon 2 Bundle from PS Direct. Thanks for the tip.

I thought this was going to be more of a warzone, but main character could pretty much go wherever she wanted with impunity. Found it pretty boring overall.

I enjoyed it. I immediately thought of this forum in the last episode when Nora asked Nathan if her knees were too sharp.
