Finished the Battletch campaign and now playing Yoga Fire in earnest.

It was certainly a very well made episode. Terrific, in fact. And all the writers had to do was leave Dolores, Cyclops and Maeve out of it. *sigh*

It's hard being Eldar all the time. Even he has his limits.

Well, it's again that time of the year, kids: Let's beat Lexx after school. Watch out though, he might have Skazz with him as support. Five bucks says my dog can beat up your cats! You'd lose five bucks AND would have to pay a vet patching up your crippled dog. That barely seems worth the hassle.

I have a feeling that this game will suffer under the weight of its Kickstarter success. Too many campaigns like that ended up dropping stretch goals or half-assing them. Game sure looks nice though, but it's already funded and all that, might pick it up for the Switch when/if it comes out.

I have a love/hate relationship with Morrowind. I started playing and hours later realized I was level 59 without ever touching the main quest. Then I tried playing that, got bored to tears and quit. Still, I'd say I got my money's worth from it but it didn't cause me to pick up any other Bethesda RPGs.

Nope, no standalone patches, though the main game installer now shows "1.0.2-277R", which is the latest non-beta release. Just install Galazy*, point it at the game, wait until it's done updating, and uninstall it. I'm guessing they won't bother throwing a standalone installer together until they have assurances from HBS that it's going to take them a while to release another patch. Anyone knows if they are moving away from patch files altogether? That's another possibility. *feels pretty appropriate too, what with the crappy download speeds and all In a world before GaLazy I had to redownload the Wasteland 2 installers three times because there were no standalone patches for the current version, so that's not really new for GOG. It's weird since it got a lot better after WL2. I guess it got worse because of GaLazy.

's too much time differential between us Yuro-Peons and you Yankees to make that work and not enough posters/players in each area to make two of them, I think. Even if it would be a nice idea.

Progression in this game can be really bizzarre. I went from a lance made of purely medium mechs to having two assault and two heavy mechs in the span of two missions. I'm at a point in the campaign where regular missions can't spawn assault mechs yet. I've been (ab)using that circumstance to train pilots, make some nice dough and fully deck out the Argo. edit: I guess what I was saying is don't bother trying to farm heavies if you don't have them yet, just continue the campaign. You'll be swimming in major hardware before long.

Same here. It's my favorite MMO, but when my guild dissolved as people moved on to greener pastures, around the time when The Titan Awakes still hadn't been beaten by anyone, I found it impossible to enjoy with randos. I've tried to get back to it once or twice, but it's just not the same. A pity, I enjoyed the gameplay and dungeon design way way more than the WoW-derivatives that are so common now. Yeah, well, I think my WoW and SWTOR guilds basically ruined MMOs for me. It's probably not the fault of the games but I developed an online version of extreme anti-social and misanthropic behavior that makes me incredibly loathe to even try to find someone for fun group activities, let alone put up with the eccentricities of the special snow flakes that seem to make up 99% of any given MMO's population. Last year I tried to get back into EQ2 (played that at launch) but without friends or the ol' guild, uhm... it's just a big empty game world with a lot of busy work and little to look forward to.

DDO is one of those games that I really want to like but just don't. Dunno.

Shady's mobile auto corrected Deadfire into Yoga Fire. It's so awesome it stuck. xD

Fired up Yoga Fire, made a new history because my old PoE save didn't go as I wanted (early faction bugs locked me into supporting the stupid Dozens) and then started to play, only to see that Obsidian made a "worst possible PoE outcome" history to select. I'm actually pretty tempted to try that.

Yeah, I was joking, but people really lob such accusations at them. That's why they make fun of it in many reviews. Especially the DC ones.

GOG really has issues installing Deadfire through Galaxy. Not only did I have to leave the download running over night, it also didn't install a single DLC and doing so takes a punny eternity. Geez.

Man, these hack frauds are nothing but Marvel shills. I wonder how much Mike gets from Disney. Pretty much. Although that might have more to do with me having no expectations whatsoever and thinking it will suck. I'd have to watch it again to see how much the pleasant surprise that it wasn't a clustercopulation affected my enjoyment.

Yeah, this. People complained about three planned expansions/DLCs a while ago already.

I don't think there's any advantage in not bringing your full might to bear. Other than achievements...

Yeah, the forum is dying from the load and GOG's download is slow as hell (and no, it's not "just" 11MB/sec this time, more like 0.1). Thanks interweb for forcing me to watch the ESC semis instead.

Is that a picture for ants? :> One does not mock the Throroughbred of Sin even if his magnificence is diminished by low resolution.

So this is what I imagine an Obsidian owner meeting looks like:

Feels like producing laser cannons but it's probably more profitable in the long run. Hrm.

The random fudge factor is screwing me over. Not in terms of winning missions because the only one I couldn't save-scum into a win so far was a base defense where a total of nine mechs (six of them as "reinforcements") spawned right next to the buildings I was supposed to protect, blowing them away before I even got a full turn out. Nah, every time I negotiate for more salvage becaus the mission promises to have some nice loot I go home with half a dozen Locust and Commando parts, and the two skull mission I did for money right now had three Jaegermechs and a Grasshopper spawning (I'm still on mediums trying to train my roster as the last story mission headshotted my primary mech warrior group to a combined 200 day hospital time) and I got two medium lasers for fun and "profit" out of it. Meh.

Yeah you always had a faint sparkle about you.

Wasn't the earlier consensus that BGE2 will end up vaporware just like Star Citizen?
