I apologize. Honestly, before this post, I didn't have a single active post. I've been slacking in general.

I have an attachment to this site as well. Lets all ride it into oblivion.

I've been on here more than half my life. Through thick and thin. There are some great people here.

Mirrors Edge. Something about it clicked hard with me and I started speed running just because I was already just running it as fast as I can.

Gamefaqs has been a part of me since growing up here, and I love some people on CE. If any of you are having a rough time of it, I care. Drop me a message and I don't promise I'll respond right away but I WILL reply. Regardless of our snltances, our disagreements, anything. I love the lot of you and want you to get the best out of life you possibly can.

I'm on a double date, they're out smoking and I'm watching purses

I remember having the tape for it when I was a wee lad. I watched it and the commentary scenes on how they filmed the stunts. It wasn't till I was older that I realized just ****ing crazy Tom Cruise is. No sane man would do the stunts he doesn't bat an eye at and the director had to have been pissing his pants at the thought of getting a big time action star killed.

I've never seen any of the MI movies. Somehow, I just completely dodged them all.

Ghost Protocol is the DEFINITIVE action movie. Every action scene had a purpose and there were no superfluous moments.

And the stunts just escalated after 2,its insane.

It's fucking terrible my dude

Lies and slander. I have so much fun every time I watch it. Makes me sad the series is probably ending :(

OK honestly the only thing I remember about that movie is it seemed like everyone had a fucking mask, so there were like 5 scenes where someone pulled a fucking mask off and by the third time you're like "this is stupid"

Also the ridiculously over the top martial arts and stunts. Such a fuck shit ass fest of a movie.

It was extremely over the top, but intentionally so. I loved that about it. Not something meant to be taken seriously, but just enjoyed.

While I concede its the worst(or second worst behind 3 for me) in the franchise, that's only because the franchise is so impossibly good. The movie is cheesy, over the top fun, and like all the others is taking on a specific kind of action genre, and succeeds fantastically.

I keep having really powerful runs for a while but I have yet to actually win. Any tips?

Just practice and learning cards to look out for. I got pretty lucky. I got the three cost power that makes the first card played each turn play twice, then I got the gambling chip so I had it almost every first turn. It was probably the luckiest I've ever been with some picks, but I could've won regardless. I beat the awakened one despite spamming powers(I played six on the first turn and barely took any damage).

Just figure out what you're aiming for after the first few cards, then build for that specifically. Most of the time, skipping taking a card is better just to streamline your deck.

I mean just tips for Defect specifically. Ive gotten to Ascension 12 with Silent and 14 with Ironclad so far but for Defect I dont know where to begin other than always take Seek cause its broken.

Ah lol. Focusing frost has worked well for me, especially with some plasma thrown in. Especially if you can get the doubling effect I had, then get blizzard. Seems to be the most consistent. Once you get some unlocks you can do some. Nasty builds ignoring the orbs entirely

I just ran a game where the only damage they could do to me was on the first turn most games, and I healed all damage dealt after, while ending each fight with 20+ powers.

Not a bad idea but awful execution and $1000 is laughably low.

Also, one of the best open world experiences ever.

bloodydeath0 posted...

bold statement. i'm turned off by the slow paced, kinda boring looking combat, but haven't extensively watched gameplay. was that a factor at all for you?

edit: haven't played the game yet, to be clear

The combat starts a bit dull but by the end its far better, kind of like a mix of the best of God of War and DMC. Some actually challenging bosses too.

The story is slow but insanely good, and the characters are great. This game has some feels.

Best game in the series, easy.

How is under the dome? I bought it months ago but haven't read it yet

A lot of fun, and satisfying throughout until the ending, but don't let that deter you from enjoying an amazing journey.

I disagree. I enjoyed the ending. He was obviously foreshadowing it the whole book. It didn't feel like he ran out of space in his brain and came up with the first thing he thought up.

That's just me, though.

What makes you think it was foreshadowed? Been awhile since I've read it but I remember it being really out of the blue.

for the aliens, it was kinda outta the blue, although slightly alluded to.

It's more the shame aspect, and begging aspect that is more prevalent. You have Barbie always thinking back to the time he was ashamed in Iraq. You have Sanders and the other council woman, Andrea, who are ashamed of their life, and their drug problem respectively. You constantly have people begging to get out of the situation they're in (Angie at the beginning when she's killed by Junior, the girl who's raped and has the kid with Phil Bushy, etc etc etc).

Throughout the novel, it seems like a massive theme, to be ashamed and to beg that the ending made sense. Once again, it did to me atleast. I've also read the damn book like 5 times, so it was easier to pick up on during the second and third readings.

Interesting. Maybe I'll check it out again! But that's a ways off, Duma Key and the stand are my next revisits.

Dude, trump has to fuck up BADLY to not be re elected. Theres practically a 99% chance hes going to be in office for the full eight years.

Democrats are scrambling, trying to get immigrants voting and to get rid of the electoral college.

Just FYI? Yall dont even have a candidate. The outside world absolutely loves trump. Hes brought peace to Korea and will receive a Nobel Peace Prize.

Loooool

What are your thoughts on the Dark Tower? I'm into fantasy, but I never gave it much thought because for some reason I had a kneejerk reaction against Stephen King. But I've heard a fair amount of praise for it lately. Would you recommend?

Those were my first books I read by King. I enjoyed them immensely and it is not at all what you think it is.

The first book is slow, but it really kicks off in the second when he goes through the door.

This exactly. Practically required reading if you like literature.

Just realized I got autocorrect above to Dark House and cant fix it. Black house.

Also, Misery is freaking epic. Eyes of the Dragon is one of his most obscure but I really like it.

Eyes of the Dragon is another one I need to read.

I think I read that he belives Rose Madderis his worst piece of work but I really, reaaaally enjoyed it. Cell on the pther hand was intriguing but executed like shit so it ended being boring as fuck,

IIRC he considers Dreamcatcher his worst and I agree, but that's excusable. I actually thought Rose Madder was kinda good, weird but interesting.

What's your personal favorite? I know you made a list ranking all the books a while back, but I don't think I actually ever looked through the topic.

I never finished it sadly. Personal favorite is almost certainly IT, but top 5 would be hard. Christine, The Stand, Black House, Needful Things would be my off the top of my head list for the other four right now but it's constantly in Flux.

Not really. He gets a lot of shit for that but he really only has a couple books with bad endings, and he also has a few with amazing ones.

Maybe do "stories", as many are short and contained within other books together.

I might do his shirt stories but that'll be a different list. Partly because it's a different medium, partly because it's a lot more work, and partly because I haven't read nearly all of them.

I only read The Dead Zone in middle school, I need to get back into reading maybe I will look into some of his other works.

Massive update that changes everything about the game, with conversion kits for each faction. Wtf FFG

Trick r treat
Black sabbath
VHS 1 and 2

What else?

Term created by people suffering from toxic femininity

Nah. Plenty of people overuse it or misuse it, but it is a legitimate thing that hurts both sexes.

I think at this point I've read or listened to all. The good ones(two exceptions, Misery and Green Mile, which I'm saving for now), but there are a ton that either don't get the recognition they deserve, or are just looked over entirely.

As a superhero/comic movie absolutely. As a movie overall not a chance.

I was more of a DmC fan back in the day but I love the new direction GoW has taken. Virtually everything about the game is top notch. It's different from the previous games but it still feels like God of War.

It feels like a more grown up God of War. Like the original series was fantastic, but this is mastery of what it started.

I'm just surprised that the game is so good after not having a major release for what...six years? And to change so much stylistically was a gamble, but it paid off big time.

It makes me think of RE 4.and 7. Vastly different from the rest but extremely high quality.
