The Gaming Den

I honestly don't think it is possible to balance melee combat in SR4 and SR5. You could start play with the Super Katana that does infinite damage and I could not give less of a fuck because everyone even vaguely competent with assault weapons drops anything they attack in a single round. I think th...

Golden Sun was the only game in town when it came to RPGs you could put in your pocket for a long time, and it had a few time things to recommended it (Eg. the summon effects were impressive as all hell if you were used to gameboy). Then they waited long enough for people to get nostalgic or alterna...

I listen to the Nerdist and How Did This Get Made?

We will see you drop dead from exhaustion.

Maybe it was dropped on them?

I would say "yes," because in my experience everyone on a Shadowrun team is actually using the same gun, by which I mean whatever has the best damage. I think Ares Predator was the only pistol people used last time I played, but it has been a while.

@shau are you sure you meant carrie with the subplot? O.o that's the one with the prom queen witch and pig blood bath massacre. christine is the one with the possessed car haunting people, killing them and repairing itself if needed be. That's what I was thinking of. Damn movie remakes are putting ...

Reviewer’s Tilt: I have been a fan of Terry Pratchett since high school. I discovered his books in my local library and I was hooked and hooked hard. My library let you keep books out for five days. I would usually read a book from Pratchett twice in this time period. Then sometimes I would read my ...

This conversation I think is pretty much over and making me wonder why I even bother coming here anymore. I am out too, although the thought I broke DSMatticus faith in humanity by taking what he literally said literally will keep me warm at night. The thing is though, this whole thing really has v...

There is in fact a difference between "someone did something which caused me to be scared" and "someone did something with the specific intention of scaring me in order to influence my behavior" and that thing is the mens rea of terroristic threats. Also, in the specific case of...

I don't actually give a fuck whether or not Rebecca Watson was afraid, because "someone made me scared" will never be a successful argument that someone has wronged you. So if the KKK erects a burning cross on the lawn of a mixed race family, its not actually bad. After all, it nothing bu...

Thanks Maj, you said that better than I could have.

However the demons are extraordinarily tough, so they always come though without any major damage, no matter how awfully the plan goes sideways or however many people get killed in the ensuing disaster. You know, that actually sounds like Bebop and Rocksteady, if someone writing the turtles was gri...

Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett. It's...not very good actually. Any interest in me putting up a rant review here? It's not RPG stuff, but it is fantasy.

The D&D wizard is a work of fiction that has a completely unrealistic expectation of "uses a book".

Well, I was going to write something, but I am not going to be able to top that.

Anyone remember Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura? I'm trying to take a level 10 elf mage with Fireflash, Harm, and okay social skills and make him into a credible melee fighter. Any tips? Where should I look for armor/robes? Also, is there any good way to stock up on lots of light fatigue ...

Never played Ragnarok online, but I can confirm that is the last level from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

I still like it more than the Mass Effect "I'm a good guy so I will be picking the top right option in every dialogue tree" system.

I was gifted with Reccetear.

Mortal Kombat II: So your second-to-last opponent in that game is Kintaro. Throwing in this game is freakishly overpowered, because of its large hitbox and high priority. Kintaro's are literally broken, having higher priority than any other move in the game, so he can literally grab you while you'r...

I went in with the understanding that it would be nothing like the book and that the author was pissed, so that might have helped. The only thing that bothered me on that front was the fact there was a at lest a couple times it contradicted seemingly out of spite. Like making cloudy eyes part of zom...

Seriously, that movie sucked.

I rather liked it, although the only thing it takes from the book is the title.

My parents split when I was a teenager. I don't think they whole "stay together for the kids thing is good advice" but it is difficult. One thing: If your relationship ever stops being amicable, its not acceptable to talk shit about your ex in front of your kids. I am not saying you will, ...

Has anybody tried the demo for this? Is it worth checking out?

I watched a let's play of it. I recommend it.

No, I think it would be balanced so long as it is still limited to gnomes.
