Miles Cameron' Masters and Mages trilogy Loved his Traitor Son Cycle books (only one meh book in the bunch) this new series I found to be a tad lackluster. There is one main POV in the series, interesting character but it feels like the story (which is the character's story) is a frame for a...

Just read Uncrowned, best in the series so far. Spoilers ahead: I know that isn't a popular take but I see it differently than 'what power up this volume' so much as how much has the main character progressed: from the scheming, conniving worm dependent on the protection of others to the young...

I dunno about Syrio = JH but Preston Jacobs had a video with some compelling evidence that JH, Rorge and Biter weren't in the Black Cells together by accident and may have each been searching for Arya as part of some convoluted Faceless Man plot.

And to contribute a little away from the titty talk, Ramsay threatens the Wildings in the letter because Wildlings are 'the threat' he is using to attempt unify the northern lords behind him. He openly mentions Rickon because those lords who would be loyal to the Starks would be loyal to Jon...

The only thing that makes me doubt the veracititty (heh) of the shot is that they haven't sagged a bit over the years. But yes, they are the same size, same half dollar areolas (with one slightly large than the other) .... I believe they were hers.

Just read it... I agree the book is flawed.. I fucking hated the first time the main character interacted with the antagonist, that entire scene was awful, but the book has an undeniable 'heart' to it. Something tells me the author has spent some time interacting online with overly self...

Saw the Holms Tate fight a lil differently. Basically went 5 rounds because the Striker couldn't get the KO and the grappler couldn't get the takedown and finish until near the end. Just took that long for one to finally impose their will.

Real life physics doesn't even exist in comic books, much less any comic book movie... A far less asinine complaint would be WTF is Batman doing shooting guns?!?! That is completely anathema to his modern day persona.

Hows the actual shooting mechanics in this game? Video I saw of it looked kind of stilted and a lil slow, not nearly as smooth as Destiny (course what games are) but it makes me a little hesitant to buy it when it comes out.

Reading it now, something about it I like (cant figure out what atm) but god is some of it terrible. The lengths the author goes to bring some characters back from the brink of death is annoying... every fight must feature some hero ineptly tripping over a dead body, every fight the main...

Batman as Patriarch was the clear editorial intention (for years) up to a majority of fans killing it in favor of more grim and gritty bullshit. Forget where I heard it but there was an interview with some DC insider a while back that made it clear there were long range plans for a shift in the...

Err its gonna be darker by virtue of the focus on the abusive relationship between a delusional criminal and a homicidal psychopath. Not to mention the team's version of Groot eats people... That's not to say it will be grimdark but no way this will get mistaken for GoTG.

Just reread the series again, makes it the third and final time. While annoyed with some of the weak characterization, spotty narrative choices, and clich?d descriptions I have to say that, for some reason, the ending was actually more emotionally satisfying this time around even though I found...

what the heck, sent an application in as well

Eh, didn't even know the new trailer was out... heard some coworkers talking about it, they all seemed hyped for it. Keep in mind I work in construction so these were all real men, not a gaggle of girly nerds. Even if the movie is terrible I suspect its probably going to be a hit.

Seems almost like if you use the coins and farm a year 1 ultra you get the upgraded year one exotics... can anyone confirm this?

Love the DLC so far, though I do find myself missing primary weapons with a burn heh.

NolaBot is growing on me tbh... just don't hate him the way some do, that said, I liked DinkleBot better. I get that they were going for a robotic quality to the voice, but the new guy is devoid of any emotion. IMHO it wasn't the actors, but Bungies direction for a monotone delivery that was...

Damn wonder how much they had to pay to use that song, given that most folks cant even get permission to use LZ stuff in movies, commercials etc it must have been a huge chunk of change.

That was awesome! As for the raid I am cool with waiting a bit so long as its done well. VOG and especially Crota had some bugs in them when they were released.

I used to love those old Hulk stories where he'd show up in someone else's title rampaging across the country side, usually kicking the shit out of whatever hero or team that showed up to stop him. (Most famous example being when humbled Thor in his own book) in that regard Doomsday is a guilty...

Sweet. No word on if this gear/weapons we 'shouldn't dismantle' needs to be leveled up (or fully ascended) to count more towards light level? I could probably fill up most slots with legendaries between now and then but if it all has to be leveled up by release to fully count then I dunno if...

Another trick is to edge your factions close to leveling up then leaving it there. Day one its easy to then go back, level them up, and get a package with a new TK weapon or armor. Least that is how it worked before, unless they are resetting faction levels also...

wonder if the year 1 upgrade gear/weapons (might as well just call em enchant mats at tis point) have to be upgraded first before dismantle... that would be one way to keep POE relevant I suppose.

Xur selling Gally today... rejoice.

I thought you liked HOW? It sounds to me like there will be a lot more to do with this expac. Plus putting light level on Weapons probably means an end to ascending legendaries. Aside from monthly content updates what else did you want that TTK isn't providing?

That sounds... great! Though gotta say in hindsight it is almost as if the first year was just a paid beta for Bungie to figure out how to get the game right. Grinding quest lines far more interesting than farming marks/ materials imho.

Been a while since I leveled a toon but you need to get to 32 to be able to run the 32 POE for the armor cores to buy the gear to get ya to 34 (or hope you comes across etheric light). Anyway I am jumping ahead. Go to the faction vendors. Find the one selling the gear ya like, buy their...

Actually the circumstances around Jason's fate in TDKR is kept vague but it is heavily implied that he died. This was several years before Death in The Family. Deconstructing Dark Knight Returns: What Happened To Jason?

Actually wasn't there a line in TDKR about the Joker killing Jason Todd? If that is serving as the inspiration for Superman vs Batman I think they may have taken that and ran with it. Add in the line from the trailer... "that turns good men cruel." So perhaps an older Batman, bitter at his...

I'd say so, to correct any narrative involving an important figure that served as a puff piece or propaganda. As I get older I find myself becoming less tolerant of the bullshit that goes into biographical accounts and am more cognizant of the agendas that they serve and the dangers that...

"String- where the fuck is Wallace?" Well now I guess we know.

I was thinking along similar lines. This show was a perfect example of the writers killing it off through sheer ineptitude, though with any network show you can never discount the impact of moronic executives meddling with certain narrative choices. In which case 13 episodes might be a blessing...

The clan I was in basically imploded over the last couple of weeks with HoW. The PVE folks hated POE, the PVP folks cool with first week of ToO but now that the casuals all fled that, it isn't worth the effort. Guess we were basically a raiding clan and without a new raid, doubt that is a huge...

Eh all the other (admittedly few) console owners I know bought Xcom on my recommendation and loved it. Hell, I may have never even played the original if not for the PS1 port back in the day. They could do... something for the consoles.. but yeah I agree, if the technology isn't there for a full...

Anyone know if you can upgrade the levels on Iron banner weapons. Spent 66 motes of light reforging Felwinters and I'd hate to have to do that every freaking dlc.

I'll buy it... got nothing else to do. :cries:

Love the game, still play ALOT but part of the problem with the loot reward system(the MMO side of the game) is that other MMO's learned years ago that RNG is extremely flawed, its like Bungie didn't take notes. Add to that, the FPS players that came in, saw the exotics and said 'ohh shiny'...

Hard Light Stand Asides, Third Man, Apotheosis Veil and Heavy Synths again. Even though it was nerfed, still getting the Hard Light.

Xur: Red Death, Skullfort, Warlock melee gloves, and the hunter radar helm. Also more heavy ammo synth. I spent 80 coins :0 All in all a great selection this time (for me anyway).
