"I have removed your post on the grounds that it may be considered offensive. ~ Gorgon." "Alright, you have convinced me." L0L Your post offends me please remove it. Seriously, let him have the pic. It fits in this thread. Why doesn't somebody post one listing all 'ratings' for the guys. For the record, I'd be a 2 or 3 on a chart. Stop being TRIGGERED.

Kudos to the Boston Celtics for being the first team in the Conference Finals to lose by 'only' single digits. Yeah, it was 9 and it includes a garbage bucket at the end but it still counts. L0L

Maybe the cipher is into self ahrming and is masochistic. Maybe they think pain makes them stronger. Don't judge.

Geez. Last I saw Houston just went on a 10-2 run to get it down to 12 points almost half way through 3rd... go to check final score just now.. and, I chuckle.

Sigils, shoot from afar, and resting are the ways to deal with them.

Dungeons in PE2 are alright. Could be longer and more involved. Even the mulkti level ones tend to have one or two rooms only. Still, way better than the SOZ ones.

I skipped BETA this time as it hurt PE1's enjoyment for me. On top of that, I paid to play a game. Playtester is an actual job so you are stealing someone's job by paying for the 'privledge' of being a playtester.

"I actually love what they did to wizards, in PoE1 it was useless to have scrolls or different grimoirs, now you need to pick good grimoir combos and get ready multiple scrolls for big battles. Wizards are not self sustainable as before." Haven't used scrolls or grimoires in PE2. In fact, only good thing grimoires bring for me is gold. <>

Pre buffing is not broken. Some of the best battles in BG2 were versus 'pre buffed' spell casters. Only time 'pre buffing' is broken is if you allow insta rest which is an issue that can be solved really easy. In real life, you can't (usually) sleep 8 hours get up for 20 minutes to fight (lol) then rest for another 8 hours. Pre buffing can make combat more challenging since npc casters can also pre buff and unlike the PC they don't have to worry about winning multiple battles. To say something positive about PE2 magic, I do love how AOE spells like fireball have edges where your characetrs can be in without being blasted based on ability score. That adds an extra dimension. "Good lord, I remember wizards in d&d 1st edition... 3hp if you were lucky, one magic missile/day and 10AC..." If you memorized magic missle at level 1 that is weaksauce. Wizards are supposed to be intelligent.

"If you think POE2 wizards are weak you're weaksause" I never claimed PE2 wizards were weak. I said being unable to kjill the assassins that start off in BG1 is weak. "If an inexperienced player fails to take sleep, BG1 wizards are absolute garbage against multiple enemies until about level 3 (which in a full party playthrough you probably won't reach until after the bandit camp). It's a totally broken spell - always has been - and probably isn't the best example of better class balancing." They are useful in early BG1. There are a variety of level 1 spells that are useful outside fo sleep though sleep is the most obvious useful one for clear reasons. Can BG1 wizards take a hit like a fighter/ of course not. Nor should they. "Like you do realize Imoen was originally put in the game as a companion because it was near impossible for some player testers using classes (like wizard) to reach the Friendly Arm Inn without help?" How? Worst case scenario stay on the road. The only issue is the assassin in front but he's an issue for any low level character. The game isn't designed around a solo wizard, solo fighter, or so anything. Don't forgte there is also the evil duo you also meet as well. So, you don't actually need Imoen. Back to wizards, they may be 'squishy' but they are useful at low levels in BG1. In PE2, wizards are still good but spells should not be treated like skills. That is silly. Also, it is still annoying you can't use 'buff' spells prior to combat. That was lame in PE1. It is lame in PE2.

"As someone who just finished playing a bg1 lvl 1 wizard (sorc but same difference) about 30 minutes ago...uh no? I barely was able to kill the assassins to start with. (especially since my luck decided to go nope and spook was resisted)." As someone who has played BG1 a ridiculous amount of times (btw such a ridiculous way to start a post right?), I say yes. A 1st level BG wizard can take out as much as half a dozen level 1 enemies with one spell. Can a level 1 BG1 fighter do that? How about a level 1 PE2 anything? Yeah, I thought so. If you die to the beginning BG1 assassins you are weaksauce.

BG1 level 1 wizards are pretty damn good. Yeha, they don't have lots of HP but they can put a bunch of enemies to sleep. Just make sure they aren't being targeted. They ain't 'tanks'. That said, for this game, treating spells like skills is weaksauce.

Cavs would have won if he got ejected. And, I am generally pro JR but that was definitely a docuehbag move worthy of ejection.

Ouch. Indiaina all over again except this time Lebron had a ****ty night too.

Treating spells like abilities was a poor choice imo.

Better than the goalie the Pens threw him in the trash for? LMAO I hope Ovechkin wins the cup. If he doesn't though, I want Fleury to spit in the eye of every Penguin who betrayed him from top to bottom as he beats them in the Finals.

I no longer like Lebron James. He's a legit ****. He leads his team to a huge lead, purposefully allows Toronto back in, gets them all excited, then stabs them right through heart to end the torture. EVIL.

MCA is awesome.

Damn. CLE looks and acts completely different than in their first series.

"What, specifically, did you find nonsensical about the end?" if I spoil it people will cry. And, no, I don't use spoiler tags. That is for wussies.

So... I broke my no MCU in threates rule for the first time 9exception proves the rule). Largely because I love long run times. Anyways, Avengers 3 was a mixed bag. Some good, some bad, some ridiculous, some funny, but seriously overrated. Does anyone buy that nonsensical ending? No. I didn't think so. So, basically, they believe their viewership is plain idiotic. That said, it did its job. A mostly entertaining blockbuster. 7.5/10

Lebronnnnnnnnnnnnnn Jamessssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't believe a Lebron James team is gonna be eliminated in the 1st round. That didn't even happening at the beginning of his career. SAD..

"Cavs/Pacers is going to game 7. This has been a hell of a series." No, it hasn't been. Indy is clearly the vastly superior team. They should have been a sweep. Without Lebron, the Cavs are the worst team in the league. At least when they had Irving and Lebron sat down they were simply a lottery team.

"The problem is that NYG has spent the last 5 years trying to re-tool for a quick turnaround to relevance, and it has mostly just dug the hole deeper. At some point, you have to look long-term and build to have a meaningful chance of contention over a span of years." They were 11-5 just two seasons ago. NFL is notorious for quick turnarounds. Unless uoyu can get an A+ QB to replace Eli it is stupid to replace him with crappier QBs.
