I heard his wife already had a kid from a previous relationship. Turns out it was just his step ladder.

bad news for AEW fans.

Resistance is futile.

I'm pretty sure the writers came out at one point and admit that they only really had enough plot planned for two or three seasons but then after they were green lit for a bunch more they just threw a bunch of made up shit in the middle that never really mattered but made it seem like it did.

Yes that is true. Id love to see the original plans for how it was originally going to end. I happily admit season 3 onwards took a bit of a decrease in quality but it was still great. Just not as great.

@drizzt

Oh. I googled it and it suggested front of house lol. I disagree though.

I disagree completely though. The character arcs are what make it. The mystery is just a platform to bring that out.

Jinn and Sun.
Kate, Sawyer and Jack.
Walt and Michael.
Desmond / Penny / Charles.
Sawyer and Juliette.
Charlie and Claire.
Charlie and his drug issues.
John and his Dad.
Jack and his Dad.
Ben and his obsession with being in charge of the others.
Hurley and Libby.
The British Guy and the Redhead.

Those are just the ones off the top of my head.

the ending was shit.

How so?

Most of the mysteries were answered. The characters were great. Whyd it get so much hate?

UK here but from an outside point of view hes a great pick. I just watched his first speech at the rally and hes amazing. The couch joke got a decent real life laugh out of me. So much energy between the both of me. What is this I feel... its strange... something Ive not felt for a long time when looking at US politics... is this... hope?

Freeway scene is goat. This was before wide spread cgi. It was almost all practical effects. They built half a mile of road to film it on. The scene in the manor is also awesome and watching neo absolutely destroy the agents right at the start is a cathartic way to start the film.

I get the criticism about it not being like the first film and its true. But in defence of it, the first was so groundbreaking and such a cultural phenomenon nothing would ever come close. Its like comparing alien and aliens or terminator and terminator 2.

My father got me a bat for Christmas. Damn thing flew away. Let me tell you I dont get no respect.

when I was younger my parents would move house a lot. But I always found them in the end.

Every topic? lol ok.

when I was little and used the sand box my cat tried to cover me

I still remember Smash coming out about 2 months before I graduated high school. I listened to it so much that whole summer before I left for the Navy. I actually remember seeing the video on MTV for Come Out and Play when it first debuted and both my friend were like These guys are going to become big

Undoubtedly Smash and Americana are their two biggest albums by far. I still think Smash is their best by a small margin.

I basically havent heard anything from them after Americana but thats normal for me as after 2000 I pretty much never heard music again I enjoyed, even from bands I liked previously. There just seems to be this hard cutoff around that time frame and at this point I just keep listening to stuff from the 60s to the 90s I enjoy.

So despite them having 6 albums after Americana I dont recall hearing anything on the radio by them and everything I do hear is from Americana or before.

Side story. One of the best concerts I ever watched was Offspring when I was in the Navy at this legendary location called The Boathouse that a lot of pretty big bands came to even though it was more like a small club venue. Held about 1,500 people.

Watched them there in 96 with The Vandals who I was a big fan of at the time. Great concert. Was right up front near the stage legitimately about 6 feet away from where Dexter was standing and singing. Awesome night.

I really wanna see them live but in the UK they only show up for the big festivals and I cba to go to a festival just for one band.

Dirty Magic is entirely why I voted for Ifnition

My man. FWIW They did do a cover on one of their later albums which sounds less raw (more over produced if that's a thing) which I kinda feel ruins the song.

I dunno. Even Americana they moved away from their punk roots and started to go for a more main stream in sound. More power to them just not to my taste.

I liked the original but the ending was kinda meh. Could have done with a few more mechanics.

What do you do?

Funny story. Went to france as a kid. I was going to buy Americana on tape and my mum told me not to because she thought it would be in french lol.

The Offspring were my favorite band growing up. Smash is an all time classic punk rock album. They really started to fall off after Co1. Ive never even heard of that last one.

The only two songs they did after CO1 I like are re-dos of their earlier songs. Dirty Magic and Gone Away.

On a side note I really can't get into anything post Conspiracy of One.

They are like GTA in that every new game tries to be bigger and better than the previous. This leads to a sense of the older games feeling very dated. Much like going back to GTA 3 does these days.

TBF the market has been over valued for a while now. Seeing 20% up on my Index Fund over the past 12 months. If anything this is merely a correction to where it should be.

FF16 did this maybe better then any other jrpg and people hated them because of poor item rewards.

It did do the story line thing. But it was done poorly.

Got to give it to Ixnay on the Hombre. Ignition in second place purely for Dirty Magic if I'm being honest with myself.

Do they at least have ESU?

a side quest in a RPG should add to the story in some way or tell its own mini story

the reward being 2ndary

This is a good take as well. If the side quests in NNK 2 has been relevant to the story, even on a local level I'd say it would have been GOAT side questing on a ludo narrative level. Instead we got "hey I need you to collect 5 bugs" repeated 100 times.

It's also why the Side Quests in FF16 were so bad apart from the last handful before the last story quests. The rewards were passable in that you got extra crafting resources or upgrades to your healing in some regard or another but the quests themselves were just boring.

Its a crazy time when we look back on Bush Jnr fondly compared to Trump. He had his slip ups and they were routinely pointed out but no where near the level of Trump. Bush was just an idiot sometimes. Trump is outright dangerous.

Most of the real criticism from Bush's time should be laid at the feet of his associates, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell and Rice.

On a side note TIL Rumsfeld and Powell both passed away. Surprised they didn't make more of a song and dance over than.

I think the best game I've ever played in terms of side quest rewards is Ni No Kuni 2. Every sidequest you do gives you extra people to assign to your kingdom. It made even the most mundane side quests (they mostly all were tbh which is a shame) feel worth it. Mainly because of the overarching meta progression of expanding your new kingdom which had a plethora of rewards depending on where you assigned them (new weapons \ more kingdom currency \ new spells) etc. It was perfect... despite the fact most of the side quests were boring as hell.

Hell paper mario was doing that over 25 years ago. Either that or do the ff13 approach where your level is effectively capped until to get to a certain part of the game.

Oh and too many insta gameovers late game that got a bit annoying to the point I wanted to put the game down. Theres a reason I took a 3 year gap between first playing it and finishing it off.

Overall it was a pleasant enough experience but it really dragged in the desert section. A few times I felt you werent given enough info on where to go or the hints were so vague you were just trialing and erroring some sections which really drags it down.

The combat was cool but pointless as theres no sort of levelling up progression. It soon got boring and because you could auto complete every battle with coins which are plentiful I just did that on the most part.

I enjoyed the bosses and the origami style. Overall Id give it a 7 out of 10. If the combat had more depth and there were actually some RPG elements to the game it could have gotten an 8.

The issue is that they removed functionality of the phone he has to force him to update

Its more likely because Microsoft have pulled their older less secure protocols which are supported in a later iOS version. Does the outlook app work per chance? If you dont care about security Im sure there are other alternatives. Working in IT we will only support Outlook in mobile for emails. The built in one is shite. Regardless of version.

lol of all the things to moan about Apple on this isnt one of them. Hey OP I cant run GTA5 on my windows 95 laptop. Is Microsoft to blame lol?

Fuck that game man. Three times and I still cant beat it.

Whats takes of Arise like?

Baron_Ox posted...

I'm not into them, but have you tried the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series?

I have my issues with the games, but they're generally well liked.

besides that, Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the GOATs, and I hear that Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader is good (I played a little, but I still need to get used to it).

BG is more tactical isnt it? Id much prefer something more for the story than stupidly in depth combat mechanics. But I still want there to be some sort of combat. I love FF16 for what its worth.

Tried it a few times but never really got into it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Oh cool. Where you get that stat from?

Got two weeks off and really fancy an RPG to get my teeth into. I dont want anything tactical like FFT. Love FFX. FF7R. Im drawing a blank.

Ive got 15k in an index fund. Taken a bit of a battering today. Still up 10% last 12 months but it was 20% a few days ago.

Is this likely to cause my Google shares to crash?
