I played the hell out of that game.

Ah. I remember waiting (and waiting) as a thief to get an invite so that I could kill grabs for 7 hours and hopefully get a single level.

I played Magic a lot in junior high and high school (in fact I was actually playing magic in marching band when the twin towers fell).

I'd say that Planescape is better written as I prefer the combat, environmental story telling, exploration elements , and sense of character progression in Fallout 2 by a landslide. But different strokes.

How far did you get in Fallout? I could understand that from the beginning of the game, but Fallout's system really picks up steam as you progress. I'd say Fallout's combat is a strength. The first tutorial level of Fallout 2 is by far the worst part of the game, and it may be on the shortlist for worst introductions…

Totally.

The Witcher 3 is my favorite RPG since Baldur's Gate 2. But that last bit of main story in Novigrad drags on for a bit. Luckily, Skellige has some of my favorite quests ever.

I just wish Bethesda could have allowed for some lite co-op over an Elder Scrolls MMO. I like MMOs, but I like single-player Elder Scroll games better.

I will continue to raid more in FFXIV (just saying those words causes a lukewarm Mountain Dew can to materialize in one apelike, cheeto, dusted paw).

Like most CRPGs of the era, the difficulty curve is best reflected as more of a difficulty cliff than a curve. Fallout 2, in particular, is fairly difficult before you get good equipment and decent companions. Getting the companion in the first town can go a long way into making the game more tolerable.

Raiding in an MMORPG (FFXIV) is weird and a lot like Dark Souls. You meet a boss, and you fight them over and over again. You get incrementally better at the fight and more familiar with it. Eventually, you figure it out, and you are good enough to beat it. Then, you get frustrated if you are one of the first to…

You should have chosen to play on Goblin. Any Gameological people on Goblin get free stuff from me.

No reason not to play FTL. It's a perfect pick up and play experience. Perfect for bus rides or really any traveling.

I voted for Kodos.

There is this strange trope that there is no good conservative art being made these days. That is clearly bullshit.

Oddly for a season that has a shipping container full of dead prostitutes as its central mystery, season 2 is by far the funniest season: Omar on the stand. McNulty's drunk driving and waitress banging. Prop Joe's meeting with annoying Sbotka and off-brand Ben Affleck (Sergei really was a cadaverous motherfucker). And…

I mean the primary way Catholicism spread was through the barrel of a gun.
