    I second the Twisted Haunt rotation, although at level 48 right now it is a bit of a slog without an XP potion. The purple gear the bosses occasionally drop is great. My warrior went from 4800 to 6200 hps fully buffed with upgrades. One of them drops a 325 base damage 2H warrior sword (item...

    Yeah mid 40s is a bit of a wasteland. The quests I am running include: Trying to kill Water Elementals is an occasional wipe. Trying to get a 5% drop off Frost Giants is a slow grind because they have mucho hps, and you need your head on a swivel for the stupid dragon. The Twisted Haunt...

    The Z key switches the whole party from offense to defense. The wizard does, in fact, run out of mana when you are doing lots of continuous fights of mobs at or higher level than you. You don't need to break for very long, but the wizard is your bottleneck for sure. The only thing we are...

    Because I am not THAT much of a masochist, I just punched in the name of the map in the compendium and it shows where it is located. There is no fucking way you could figure out any of those on your own. The rewards, at least at level 42 and 43, are chests with a few temp stat boost potions in...

    Indeed. And I am pretty sure I lucked into the pack drop from Vexxna in my only kill. Currently level 40 now, doing some epic gear quest - already got my crown up to epic. Killing level 40-50 mobs pretty easy, although the giants in the snow biome have either a shit-can of HPs or high...

    When you are the warrior and all the rest are supports (druid/cleric/wizard). That's a lot of buffs.

    Crystalfall - PoE + Last Epoch = Meh

    Anyone try it? I played for about an hour yesterday before work - it's super meh. PoE skill tree, Last Epoch ability trees. Reminds me of Undecember - looks good, plays ok, ultimately is most likely a cheap knock-off cash grab The negatives are pretty much all that it is a shallow facsimile...

    Level 29 - Now I have wiped twice to the level 30 boss Vexxna on the armor quest - that spider bitch summons more spiders. A little like PoE, I am not sure what wiped me the second time (the first time I pulled the whole room and was screwed) but I think she summoned spiders and then did her...

    HA, I found that last night too. I've wiped a couple of times at level 24 in the dungeon in the Twilight Forest with the mid to late 20s lizardmen. Some bad pulls. The reviews were right, gold comes in pretty slowly. Also your pickaxe disappears if it breaks, which is retarded.

    As a regular viewer of Splattercat (and enjoyer of his often frustrating gameplay), I bought this after work today and got to level 21 with warrior (2.6 hours) - now backed by a cleric and a wizard mercenaries. It is fun. Reading some of the negative reviews, apparently the mercs start dying...

    Pragmata (Capcom sci-fi game)

    I've watched two gameplay videos, and this is everything I don't like in games. It is basically a real time JRPG (which I hate), you even get the cheesy battle music that sounds like a slot machine bonus round. The combat was an odd choice: like a minor puzzle game to "hack" and then you can...

    Hero Siege

    I played it for a while 3 years ago - it's not bad, not amazing. Like every ARPG, it plateaus at end game and ran out of interest for me. I've been meaning to go back but never have. They monetized by making new classes a purchasable item.

    Project Hail Mary

    I've been working on him for a while. I have hundreds of sci-fi/fantasy books in boxes in the basement. It could be a treasure trove if he gets into it. He's read the Ender series, Harry Potter (blah), and some other random stuff.

    Project Hail Mary

    I adored this movie for what it was - the first truly heart-felt, heroic sci-fi story we've had for a VERY long time. I think Gosling was the perfect actor for the role, especially with the comedy they included in the script. My 14 year old thought it was great and even "got a little emotional...

    I got a Mageblood this league, and also from the Nameless Seer. Interesting. Kinetic Fusillade is a great league starter but plateaus hard a couple of times during progression. It took a while to shore up defenses in particular, I was dying randomly a lot to the usual damage spikes (the...

    Naw, I am still playing. I stopped doing bosses and am now 46% from 99 to 100. Map sustain is hilarious this league - I have 370 x T16 maps. This league's Kinetic Fusillade turned out to be my second fav build ever (pre-nerf Ice nova of frostbolts being my fav) - and for what I think is the...

    Path of Exile

    The thing I forget every league is this: your build will typically feel underwhelming several times as you proceed through end game. I think this is why a lot of people bounce off PoE after the campaign, aside from the Sin fight. I am playing Kinetic Fusillade and I was ready to respec twice...

    I did that Boneshatter build last league, it's decent. The clear can get frustrating with the limited reach, but its survivability and boss damage is the tits.

    Damn. I've just been running T16s grinding out Achievements and dying randomly at level 97. So I thought I would set this up and just try a couple of T14s to see how it goes: yeah, love it. Love it, love it.

    I am reading Blood Meridian - not sure if I am not far enough in yet (40% or so), or I am completely desensitized now, but I am not sure exactly what all the fuss is about. Yeah, some brutal things happen, but am I surprised? No. Am I appalled? Well, morally I guess but not aggressively so...

    Interestingly enough, almost done Tier 11 maps and I've only seen 2 fortresses, one of which was in the Mirage radius. As most people I started skipping them during the league, but since wombgifts seem a lot scarcer now I assume they are def more important to run. I haven't worn a single piece...

    As your typical brain-dead build follower, I am playing Kinetic Fusillade totems. Nice to know I jumped on the right band-wagon.
