    Widowmaker's real name is Amélie Lacroix, she was a professionnal ballet dancer and was married to Gérard Lacroix, a high ranking Overwatch operative. She was kidnapped by terrorist organization Talon and mentally programmed, then released through a decoy rescue operation by Overwatch and...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Training is on a sea planet, as opposed to swampy Dagobah, and with a master determined to bring an end to the Jedi philosophy, as opposed to Yoda who was a hardcore believer... salt flats with AT-AT vs unknown weird vehicles., not snow with snowspeeders, and we know nothing of the context of...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I wouldn't mind if Disney decided to cherrypick the best elements of the Expanded Universe (Legends) and even the prequels and decided to make some of it canon or modify it because it was a cool idea delivered terribly. Storywise, the Jedi and Sith having been institutions isn't a bad idea, it...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    The Rule of Two isn't necessarily representative of all Sith. It was only created after some Sith came to realize in-fighting was hurting their chances to take over the galaxy beause the Jedi were more united, but it's hard to unite when everyone around you is a raving mass-murdering psychopath...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    While you're technically correct that the word Sith was made up after the original trilogy, the Emperor and Vader were at the time considered to be Dark Jedi, and as such would be pretty much the same thing : wielders of the Force who are evil. That's a Sith in a nutshell. The name change is...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Speaking of mounts, Discord channel figured out how to get the Riddler's Mind-Worm mount. It involves clicking random pages found in very obscure corners of the world (Dalaran, Duskwood, Firelands, Uldum, Siege of Orgrimmar, Kun-Lai Summit, Uldum again, and Westfall). There are several guides...

    KOTOR Reboot

    Now they can explain why Revan was a sith male and came back as a jedi female... double transitions up in my Star Wars, you better believe it with Bioware!

    So hyped for this PVE event, loved the previous ones. Skins look amazing too, especially Genji, Reinhardt and finally a Widowmaker legendary!

    Overwatch

    I'm a Junkrat/Widowmaker main (Junkrat in competitive, Widowmaker in other modes) and Pharahs always change after a couple deaths when I'm playing sniper. I'm not some Widowmaker God either, just platinum rank with 40 hours or so into her. I don't have problems with Pharah, I think Roadhog is...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    To be fair, comparing a heavily story-oriented game like Mass Effect to a hardcore twitchy action slasher game like Nioh is like comparing it to Mario 3D World and saying ME sucks because the jumping is a lot better in Mario.. The models and animations look inexcusably bad for a AAA game, the...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    That trailer music is so ironic and prophetic. "I'm only human after all, don't put the blame on me" sounds like a hidden message by the soundtrack guy, as in "I tried to tell them the game was shit, guys, but I only do the music FFS".

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Thankfully I had the Lynel sword from the shock arrow mini-boss on Shatterback Point so that did quick work of the Zora's Domain dungeon boss... I'd say you probably have to go farm a few weapons but at least you can easily teleport right back to the dungeon and the boss is right near the...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    You can start a fire pretty much anywhere, so long as you're carrying some wood, a flint and a metal weapon. Just drop the wood, drop the flint near it, strike the flint with your metal weapon and a fire will start. I don't go hiking without packing at least a couple branches and a flint, Link...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Rain comes in two ways, people. There's some scripted rain like during the hike to Zora's Domain where it's plot-related and you have to finish the quest to stop the rain, but other times it's just temporary and you can sit by a fire (under a rock outcropping or it won't start) and it gives you...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Haha I downed him with 4 hearts and the noob clothing on except for Zora Tunic, but it sure sucked. I broke just about every weapon I had, including a badass flaming sword I'd found in a secret shrine... but hey, at least I downed the fucker and picked up his epic loot, a shield and sword less...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    To people worried about the difficulty, I think it's not a huge problem, it's just that the game gives you tutorials once and then you're on your own. I learned how to dodge, parry, block, jump to the side to get an advantage in one of the early shrines, then rarely had to use any of it because...

    Overwatch

    Yeah, that happened to me too in Arcade Mode. Got suspended from queuing for 10 minutes because I was leaving 3v3 games right after it finished instead of waiting for POTG to play out. It's fine to do it a few times (maybe not in competitive) but make sure not to overdo it or you'll get a slap...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Hehe since we're talking about weird flashbacks.. I was playing Mario 3D Land on 3DS the other day while bored at the in-laws, and I realized the noise it makes when you unlock a locked level (by spending the star coins to open it) is the EXACT same sound file for the classic EQ "Ding!"..of...

    Marvel Universe Stuff

    I saw an interesting theory that maybe the Soul Gem is held by, or even inside, Heimdall. The reasoning behind it is that we know the Soul Gem is orange, and he has orange glowy eyes, has said before that he can see "all the souls in the nine kingdoms", and during Thor's visions in Avengers 2...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Cool to see you again, Astennu, I remember seeing you in-game and in a lot of pictures of raids on Triton's website back then. I had quite a few nice run-ins with Triton folks at the time, especially remember meeting Dunric and uh.. Gomar? Pretty sure that's the name, big barbarian rogue...

    Hey, I was on Povar for a few years too, 1999 to 2004 (basically quit when WoW came out).. was mostly in <Arcis> then later <Forces Unknown> on Povar, was a dwarf rogue named Runnen. It's cool to see some Povar peeps here.

    Pretty sure those are leaked skins for the upcoming "Year of the Rooster" Chinese New Year event for Overwatch. Those four skins right here are based on famous chinese legend "Journey to the West" (probably four legendaries) and there are also epic skins for Mei and D.va. Chinese New Year...

    Passengers (2016)

    Saw it with the wife, I thought it was good, but she loved it (definitely a chick flick but it had enough sci-fi elements to keep me interested..). There's one thing that kinda bothered me about the ending though.. it's mentionned at least once that the ship has spare parts to build pretty much...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    If you apply the same logic to the Marvel movies after each hero's origin movie, you have the same result. That's why there is such a thing as a franchise, so you don't HAVE to do a story from beginning to end in a single movie and people can take some things for granted or common knowledge and...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    Like I said previously, I've not read many books on the subject, most of my reading was done on Xenopedia or similar-themed wikis, and I grabbed Labyrinth cheap because the premise sounded interesting. There's a lot of comic books and quite a few novels, I can't really tell you which are good...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    Aliens : Labyrinth, by S.D. Perry. The main plot revolves around a space station with a mad scientist experimenting on xenomorphs, but his backstory is the one I described, and is pretty gruesome (though it's not a major part of the book). Meh, it's decent enough to read, grab it if it's cheap...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    Yeah I didn't dig too much into books or comics but I love the Alien universe so I read up some wikis and the main theory seems to be that although Xenomorphs have the ability to feed on prey (the inner jaw killing method also provides food), their blood gives them some form of energy when there...

    1 - Empire Strikes Back 2 - Return of the Jedi 3 - A New Hope 4 - Rogue One 5 - The Force Awakens I loved them all, and even if TFA is last, it's still a very good Star Wars movie in my book. I suppose I put it last because it's only part of a story that's not finished yet, but the rating may...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    It was simply implied that they were going to board the Tantive IV before they leave. When we see Threepio discussing Scarif with Artoo, some fighter pilots are gearing up and preparing for take off, it's assumed they joined Captain Antilles and his crew in the following minutes.

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Well, to be fair the Imperial fleet stationned at the shield generator was outnumbered once the Rebels showed up, they had this huge Mon Calamari cruiser, and a whole bunch of fighters (which Star Destroyers aren't really meant to counter, they're only used against similar-sized capital ships...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    This reviewer is truly mind-blowing. Dude hated Empire and Return, only gave A New Hope an indifferent meh. Utterly HATES John Williams' musical score, even claims he enjoys the movies more with the sound off to get rid of the music because it opresses him. LOOOOVED Clones and Revenge of the...

    Got it on PS4 and been slowly progressing through it because the wife wants to watch me play for the story. Anyway, I'm really impressed by the gameplay, you can solve problems in multiple ways and it's a lot of fun to find all the ways to sneak around and go through missions, and to kick ass...
