Shevek, although I don't play the IE games, or even the Eternity beta nearly so passively, I find your videos to be informative and illuminating. Like some here, I do find that the combat movement speed to be too fast, but your handling of trash mobs through the use of thoughtful build design gives credence that combat gameplay isn't broken, as others have asserted otherwise.

The gameplay stream and the new trailer actually did its job for me and makes me even more pumped up for the full game. And I'm in the beta, fully cognizant of how much improvement the gameplay needs.

There are actually some gameplay videos posted on YouTube specifically concerning the monk that you can view. These should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

That's funny. Adam Brennecke's tweet: @adam_brennecke: I hope the backer that really wanted people hanging from trees in #PillarsOfEternity is completely satisfied with the trailer.

Get over yourselves. Is he a hardcore cRPG grognard? No. But he has a decent enough rep around the general gaming community and people sem to enjoy his persona. I found the stream to be entertaining enough and he has a sizable following on his Twitter, YouTube, and Twitch accounts. If it draws views, it draws views.

In yesterday's twitch-stream, Josh Sawyer stated that they would not be including AI party scripts for release as it would be (and I'm paraphrasing based on memory) too daunting a task for the current resources they have left to allocate.

King of Dragon Pass is absolutely brilliant. The X-COM port is well done as well.

That was nuts. And Memphis was down 26 at one point.

I like The Black Hound easter egg - especially that beautiful stained glass window. Wonder if the idea of the Black Hound Inn is backer produced or if that was internally conceived. ...summoning Ramza.

I believe they are the same.

I'm just hoping that it's going to be archived somewhere or uploaded to the youtubes.

Good sign that PoE Champion Ed. is #1 and the Hero Ed. is #19 on the GOG bestseller list and is also #14 on the Steam popular list after one day of preorder availability.

I was trying to skim through a review of DA:I on the PC Gamer site. Then an ad popped up for Pillars of Eternity. I clicked on it, naturally. Looks like Paradox is spending some marketing money on this. Nice.

Props to Paradox. That was a good trailer.

Hype mode activated.

Warriors finally lose and are the last undefeated team. Definitely needed that loss to kick them in the butt and force themselves to reflect on their sloppiness. 20+ turnovers a game is completely hamstringing potentially the best offense in the league. Statistically speaking, they already improved on last year's 4th ranked defense, and are top rated in both Defensive Rating and Opponent's FG%.

I wouldn't mind if they explore further with other occult figures. Zatanna, The rest of the Trenchcoat Brigade (Dr. Occult, Phantom Stranger), Dr. Fate, Jason Blood, Savage, etc. And most definitely Swamp Thing. ..still, I'd like to see him bluff more, rather than be overt with his magic.

Amazon release date forecasts are notoriously inaccurate.

So Overwatch is Blizzard's take on Team Fortess?

Reads to me like a victory for the libertarian wing of the GOP.

Voters over 60 more than tripled the number of voters under 30. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/where-are-millennials-midterm-voters-skew-old-n241216 There was a 12% increased turnout for those over 60 compared to 2012 and 7% decrease for those under 30.

*begins reading* noo don't spoil yourself! Nah. I'm not going to end up reading the books in-game as that will interrupt game flow. I doubt reading about the world lore will spoil much of anything.

Didn't know that about the V300. I went with the Kingston V300 because of its aggressive pricing and generally solid reviews.
