That tallies EXACTLY with what happened with us switching to U-verse. I live in the boonies, DSL speeds were 700 KB/s. Then suddenly they dropped to 200 KB/s and AT&T started selling us U-verse. They brought us up to 400 KB/s. But now they tell us they can't deliver on the promised speeds when t...

I didn't say I refuse to ever read Mistborn, just that it can go suck a barrel of cocks. Anyway: you guys seem to like Mistborn. I have also heard Sanderson fucked up the ending of the Wheel of Time series pretty bad. I haven't tried the Wheel of Time past book 8, but let's be clear: Robert Jordan ...

Apparently he likes Margaret Weis books and dislikes Sanderson books. I find it difficult to imagine a sentence that more conclusively demonstrates shitty taste in books that doesn't include the words "Mein Kampf." That is literally 80% of my exact reaction. I didn't think of the Mein Kam...

So then the kids tried wishful thinking at an It that was a terrifying thing to them, and failed. Then the adults tried wishful thinking at an It that was a terrifying thing to them, and... maybe succeeded? If anything that seems worse than what the movie tried and failed to do. The second fight ne...

Why the fuck would anyone remake Stephen King's It? It was a terrible movie (or whatever you call It). I don't know about the books (but considering the track record and Stephen King's reputation, as neatly mocked in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, I doubt it's any better) but It in the original movies...

That's completely missing the point. Not just kinda, completely. That is Watchman movie levels missing the point. Shots fired! And yeah, I totally agree about that...I mean, it's a Snyder movie after all, that's all you gotta say... Well, okay. My problem with the Watchmen movie is how it took a gr...

And now stephen kings it . . http://www.ew.com/article/2016/08/16/pennywise-costume-stephen-king-it-movie The new design for Pennywise seems to miss the point of IT being a clown. I read It not too long ago. I was struck by how damn canny It is. It can read and write and drive, knows how to crack j...

Remind me again why the evil wizards don't wear a red robe just to fuck with people? Because the god of Neutral Magic will shove a firecracker up someone's ass and light it if they dared. Or something. Or possibly the god of Black magic wouldn't give you powers. Because, you know, even arcane magic...

So when are you guys going to review some Dragonlance? Do some big mega-review about How Much Krynn and Dragonlance Sucked.

pink tyranids Gotta call it hive fleet Kirby, devourer of stars. One of the Ciaphas Cain novels has pink tyranids, along with a footnote saying the bodyplans are consistent, but tyranids show up in all kinds of colors and patterns of colors, and the Ordo Xenos reckons it some sort of identification...

Are you working on the other one already?

No, this isn't done. I've just been out of the give-a-fuck necessary to do it. I'll be back to it soon, though. Just probably not this week.

You guys missed the justification of African slavery (by the old "civilizing them" terribad argument), the Doom Chicken, Bill and Hillary Clinton dying of aids, nipple magic, the Evil Sports Team, and so much more! Note: I'm not making any of this up. Well, let's make a "Ways Sword o...

I actually thought Wizard's First Rule wasn't too bad as grimderp fantasies go. Definitely not good, but with enough interesting ideas to carry you through to the end - I've recommended it to a number of people (with caveats) for various reasons. I only tried to read any more of the series after I ...

This made me smile

think if that movie hadn't taken a nosedive into snoredom about halfway through, people would have left the theater as entertained as they were baffled. Jurassic World sagged heavily in the second act, but the climax with the Velociraptor and T-Rex fighting the 31 flavor crossbreed dinosaur togethe...

Been reading Wizard's First Rule . Just got to the explanation of how the Confessors' magical power works. Said explanation is so bad that I think I'm giving up on the book. I read enough cheesey fantasy that I can stomach the "how horrible it is to be cursed with this awesomeness". I can...

Stahlseele wrote:Ah, i misread that as them being one class then, so i thought you needed to be a rotter to become a monster.

Went on and added the Necroborg character picture to help clear that up.

Thank you all. This has been very helpful. At least now I can shut him up about some stuff.

Thank you for the clarifications. But i meant to ask, wether or not you can go full Beastmode if you are not a necroborg as well? I mean . . Parts is parts right? o.O Why should it matter how these parts are powered? Or are Necroborg and Steam Monster different classes from each other and i am just...

Okay, guys, I need a refresher. Tell me about Benghazi, and/or point me to something reliable where I can find info. It happened at a time when I was fairly down and wasn't paying too much attention to news. By the time I got interested enough to dig for details, there's just too much conspiracy shi...

a) do you have to be undead to become Ravage or can you do that as a "living" Steamborg as well? The Necroborg class makes you become undead, I think that's what your asking. You undergo a Mother-May-I ritual that starts you body on the way and make the full conversion later on in the cla...

Classes, part 3 THE BORG https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/31/a3/e5/31a3e595be4dd923020614cb872657ee.jpg To get the joke out of our system So here we are at last. I put this one off because it's just so many and they experiment so much. Take the Cogmorph from above--the class grants the pow...

so a druid Mech Templar could give their mech Trackless Stride. several hundred feet tall, walking on 2 feet city, probably in the hundreds of tons of weight or more as well . . "he can't be in the mountains, there's no tracks in the snow!" does it say anything about how that is supposed ...

Classes part 2 Mech classes The first mech class is the Irontooth Flea. They're mech pilots who can squeeze more speed out of any mech--10 feet per class level--and get some bonuses to maneuvering mechs. Not that mechanically exciting, but the flavor is, at least, thoughtful--they get used as scout...

There's a PrC called the Gear Eater, they specialize in fucking up mechs and gears. I actually kinda like them. Their hatred of machinery is such that they manifest the ability to use Rusting Grasp, and they get the ability to sabotage mechs to hinder operations, with no skill check needed--just ti...
