The Gaming Den

Aldnoah Zero has just finished its first season. That, uh, was a hell of a thing. Honestly I'm irritated that the left things of on that kind of cliffhanger. either the characters we actually care about are dead and they've squandered the audiences goodwill for a cheep gut punch, which is super unl...

So there's a new Fate/stay night anime this season. Now at first I was like "Meh, the last one was pretty bad what with the CGI dragons" then I found out it was by Ufotable(the Fate/Zero anime guys) and they were adapting the Unlimited Blade Works route and I was like "Fuck yeah, my ...

Finished the Night Angel Series. Surprisingly good. I might legitimately suggest it to others. Weeks' second series, Lightbringer is pretty good, too. It starts off with The Black Prism and has three books out now, IIRC. Like Sanderson, Weeks seems to be defining a lot of his world through the way ...

Where does it say that? The example made it quite clear that the player was deciding their character's own motivations, however munchkin like GM: [. . . ] But really, it didn't constitute an advance in the story or your character. Yes, and the player argues their point, by declaring that they want ...

I don't completely disagree about the scale, but much of that detail, seems to be just use of accessories that GW puts in most of their Space Marine kits, or is painted on. It doesn't seem like the normal sized details are integral to the kit itself as detail, and are more like add-on detailing, rat...

That's true, particularly in recent years, but GW has the upper hand (in the Western markets) when it comes to big things: dragons, mecha, biglargemcfuckenhuge tanks and weird flying churches or cauldrons with twirling flame-and-smoke towers that have demons sitting on them. Now if you look at a gl...

I haven't actually played Company of Heroes. From what I understand, it's in the LoL/DotA camp, and thus is multiplayer only. That said, I don't mind a small squad thing, particularly if you can tell individual doods where to stand and what to shoot and so on. I haven't played LoL/DotA, so I don't ...

I enjoy the Stormlight Archives, as well as the Dresden Files if you include Urban Fantasy. Don't forget Mistborn - that series was pretty good too. And in the same vein, Brent Weeks' Night Angel Trilogy was a decent read, too. Personally, I'm also a fan of Lois Bujold, but something tells me those...

It's pretty much Company of Heroes, 40K style. Once you get used to that, and that it's not really much like DOW1, then it's a pretty decent game. Think squads, not individual units. Think vehicle facings, heavy weapon arcs, character and squad equipment, and cover tactics. I initially didn't like i...

I'm a pretty big fan of Reaper paints - they have a pretty good color selection, the triad system of paint sets (highlight/midtone/shade sold as a set), dropper bottles, and they thin out pretty well. As for Relic Knights, I'm glad they're finally out the door. I have a couple individual models to w...

My bad - it's Kakita Hideo, Celestial Edition - his Non-unique form. 1F/3C. 0FH/4G/3PH. Crane Clan/Samurai/Duelist. Apparently, he goes off the deep end at some point later in the game, given the card Kakita Hideo - the Fallen Keeper, in his Exp. 2 version. Fun times - not that the Crane usually nee...

Of a Kakita character, no less - I think I know which card that is, though I'd have to look it up. A Crane Clan Artisan, I believe.

And an L5R action card to the right as well.

My 2 yen,

I thought that's what it was, but I wasn't sure. Thanks Frank.

And AH, I didn't even notice that. Good catch.

Xenosaga 1 had one scene that was pretty vicious that was actually cut from the American release. It wasn't until I was re-playing it in Japanese that I saw the scene and it caught me off guard and gave me the shivers. Episode I dealt with the censorship of several cutscenes in the North American re...

Is it bad that one of the cool things about that picture is that she's not only playing CoC but also playing the L5R CCG, apparently? (Look at the...

For what it's worth, the Lady Antebellum concert I went to back in 2012 fits the subject of this thread. It was at the Staples Center - excellent venue - had two really cute girls from the OC dressed all cowgirl sitting next to me (yum) - had three really great acts - Thompson Square (good), Darius ...

So, second episode of Sailor Moon: 1. We're getting a lot less filler, similar to the manga. We already have mai waifu * Ami, and next episode we get Rei. They will probably cover the entire first season (~40 episodes) in just 12-24 episodes. Hopefully we still get all five seasons though. 2. The f...
