Decided to give this a whirl beyond the intro bit that I had done a bunch of times already. Enjoying the story and open-ended nature of the different options / approaches to the content but my primary issue continues to be the Companions. I dislike the Githyanki but she fills a 'fighter'...

This happens. Its especially annoying when they miss visual references / plot points and then either ask questions they would have known the answer to had they been watching OR get pissy when they misunderstand things.

Where things get extra uber stupid is the LFR. Only two of the 4 wings are released and yet anyone who has been humming along with the Covenant Campaign now has gear that is nicer than what you get in LFR. I'm cruising around at 196 without ever having even done a Mythic 2. At this point the...

Friend of mine is a huge Bewitched / I dream of Jeanie / TVLand type fan and I got him to watch this and he is now intrigued by the MCU when he disregard everything superhero until now.

My main motivation for logging in was the Covenant campaign and associated slow-drip of plot elements. We would appear to now be out of those and so I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep logging in. Maybe get to exalted with the 4 main covenant reps I suppose.

He originally pitched the idea to Paramount and they passed on the concept of the series, but the DS9 series bible for the first season is remarkably similar to the materials for B5 that JMS included in the pitch proposal. Stuff like the Vorlon etc were intentionally misleading in the pitch...

I think the runtime gets longer later on once the sitcom gets shattered. So far we've hit 50s (Mary Tyler Moore) and 60s (Bewitched) and it looks like 70s hits at the end of the second episode with a Brady Bunch or Partridge Family style. It was a really well done homage to both the earlier...

There are a ton of little easter eggs and small details buried in here. I fully expect to go back and rewatch later to catch more of them.

So what counts as something 'good'? What do you want?

Weekly release does at least let people have more of a shared experience with the series vs dropping all the episodes at once and not being able to communicate with others until after everyone is done with the whole season.

WTF how the heck do you have Croman and Meatball? I just checked to see how this mornings missions did and, sure enough, they were all fails. If I use my absolute best team I can't even beat the lowest mission available, much less the various missions for things like Soul Ash.

Rumor is that EA tried to make a case for continuing their exclusive relationship but the mouse house was displeased with their ability to deliver actual game content and elected to open the floodgates.

It's very odd that the Covenant set gear for casuals has a higher ilevel than the LFR gear. So LFR is for trinkets and people who are so casual they can't do the campaign in a reasonable timescale?

Soooooo now the Covenant Campaign is done... Do we just sit around and beat off until the first major patch?

I did notice this AM that I had the pet doggy in Torghast that was kinda fun. I just now see that this is a weekly event whose entire extent is that it exists.

Well he knows a secret of the First Ones which means he is almost certainly an Eternal One and there's only one of those currently MIA. Still not quite sure how we as the Maw Walker fit into all this....We seem to be touched by the First Ones in a weird way.

So I had not seen the Jailer talking to the Runecarver until this AM when I was quickly doing Torghast before the reset. Its pretty much a given that the Runecarver is the Primus at this point yah?

Well Queen Charlotte was supposedly somewhat or possibly a good part black or at least had strong African features which partly we explained why she was known as a very very ugly queen.

Whats wrong with the Kyrian Mission Table?

That final shot irritated the hell out of me. Discovery's whole schtick, and indeed its primary mission now as Dilithium courier, is that it can travel nearly instantly via the spore drive. With that in mind why the fuck did they do a standard 'warp out' rather than a 'black alert' and...

Amos continues to be one of the best damn characters in entertainment and damn if Wes Chatham isn't rocking the part. I think its the eyes more than anything else. Yeah he's jacked and then some and has the demeanor to convey subtle menace and a complete lack of moral compasss, but its the way...

Yeah the turbolift made no fucking sense at all. We had seen bits and pieces of this 'internal structure' before but this made it clear that it was full stupid.

I was hoping that this would all lead towards a resolution that acknowledged the marcantile needs of the Galaxy and that having an economy is actually useful. Getting the Orions and Andorians plus however many planets are in the chain to be part of something new despite the issues of the past...

Did the 18 floor thing this AM and man was that a slog. I was just happy it was over and then annoyed at the paltry reward it offered.

I would love Ayoade as the Doctor. Not only because of his obvious comedic talents but because he has the ability to turn darkly serious when he wants to and that makes it all the more chilling.

At this point I'm just running Torghast 3s solo and not bothering with anything else unless I don't have anything else to play. Life is too short to bother stressing out over Soul Ash given I have nothing I can use it for and won't for the forseeable future.

I posted about this on the Steam thread but I've been crazy addicted to this damn game for the last several days. Its like Slay the Spire only you are playing 3 (of 8 possible choices) different characters in a much longer-format adventure. There is a shorter single-sitting type version that...

I did enjoy the Daleks blowing up the nuDaleks though.

. Picked this up based on the Steam recommendations and it's really good if you are a fan of either tactics games or card-based Roguelikes. It's different in that you have a long 'campaign' you play through with multiple characters rather than a relatively short 'run' but there's substantial...

How the heck are you getting that many enchanting missions?? I've done every 'crafting mission's that's popped up and all I get is meat meat meat and the occasional tailoring. Ive gotten enchanting like twice since launch.

Eternal crystals, before this, were still in the 3.5-6k range on my server. Lots of enchanters have been stuck trying to get skill ups past 90 since they need those crystals to get to the relic mat enchantments at 115, so the demand has persisted. I would have happily dropped 2500 anima to get...

The protomolecule completely upended the apple cart and fucked both Mars and the Belt...meanwhile critically overpopulated Earthers are ideally suited to expand to the ring worlds from a physical standpoint. However their completely socialist structure with fundamental lack of jobs means that...

Meanwhile this week the class armor hits Mythic-0 ilevel so I actually swapped out a bunch of pieces as the set bonus is kinda helpful.

WildStar is a textbook example of how really hard it is to make an MMO in the age of autists. The base gameplay was great and it had plenty of built in humor with the art style and general insanity of the premise but they went full-bore into making the endgame for the folk that would otherwise...

WTF is up with Timewalking? Did a dungeon since its the weekly quest and good lord it was a meat grinder with level 30 rewards. Shouldn't they be dropping at least Shadowlands Heroic level items?

Had a friend of mine go apeshit after getting his Series X because they removed the optical out audio port. I tried to reply with 'bro do you not have HDMI?' but he was having none of it and just cussed up a storm. I suppose in my own setup I have the Xbox going to the CEC HDMI port (port 1)...

Monster Train is quite fun. The only thing bad about it is the godawful name.

Pete Docter was already one of my favorite PIXAR directors (Monsters Inc, Up, and especially Inside Out) because of the way he uses the storytelling medium to address big philosophical/existential questions. Inside Out is a movie I've come back to several times just because of the way in which...

I figure Phillips got Guardian of Forever'd so she could go back and do the Section 31 show... I try to not think about things like Book's transforming ship or just how idiotic it is to have the warp nacelles disconnected from the ship. Once you head down that path all sense of rational...

It's a fun game for a couple weeks and then it turns into something tedious. This has not changed even with all the other adjustments taking place. Has a strong foundation but lacks in persistence. We are in a weird place where we have entire genres of games where nothing is permanent and...
