THIS MOVIE IS SO. FUCKING. GOOOD.

This man speaks truths. Saw a prescreening today before the midnight crowd, hot damn. I loved the typical Whedon flair of random comical moments, even in the chaotic final battle.

blueparatroopa asked: You are granted three wishes. One has to be selfish, one has to be malicious, and the last on has to be for the good of humanity. GO

Killing my former roommate can apply to all three, does that let me use the two freebies how I please?

Shower me with gifts! (of pointless knowledge)

So yeah, whoopdey fuck it’s my birthday. I’m officially goddam old. (30)

What do I ask of you, on this, the day of my daughter’s wedding birthday? Useless, worthless knowledge. I ask those of you following me that care to answer these idiotic questions:

1. Do you have a Pavlovian response to anything? For instance, any time I hear On Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz I’m compelled to play Minecraft.
2. Which term is better, chips (American English) or crisps (proper English)?
3. Don’t you hate it when a sentence doesn’t end the way it octopus?

Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer part2

So a few people asked me what build I currently use of the 5 I posted, and the answer is: none of them. I used to do human sentinel and infiltrator, but now I play what I can only dub The Cheater. It didn’t make the list of surprisingly strong builds because there is nothing surprising about it, I knew it would be that strong, just by looking at skill synergy. So, what is The Cheater?

Geth Engineer: (6/6/6/5/3)

• Max Geth Turret, taking all damage bonuses over support bonuses, and flamethrower talent
• Max Hunter Vision, taking the bonus power damage during vision and increased movespeed + sight range.
• Max Overload, spec’d for max chain overload and neural shock.
• All power bonuses in Networked AI
• Default 3 points in Fitness
• Weapon: N7 Valiant sniper rifle, using Piercing Mod V and High Caliber Barrel V

Basic gist is throw your turret where groups are gonna spawn, reemptively guess between waves which area they’ll come from, it’s a short CD if you guess wrong. Once turret lands, pop a chain overload into the pack so turret can have it’s way with the via flamethrower. Always keep Hunter Vision up, use it for sniping targets through walls as piercing mod gives ONE METER of penetration. That’s most walls, and even the floor in the crow’s nest section of Firebase Dagger.

Okay, so why exactly is this build so stupidly good? A few reasons. For starters, Hunter Vision lets you snipe guys through the weirdest of ways, and gives you massive map awareness with lv6 vision. Next is your turret, which makes Sentry Turret from Quarians and Combat Drones look like total shit. It knows to switch modes of fire between flamethrower and normal shots, and it’s normal shots track targets and pierce light cover. And lastly, Chain Overload can hit 3+ targets (only supposed to hit 3, likes to multi branch for more) while stunning them. Great way to line up headshots on targets in the open, let alone be your shield buster for Atlas/Banshee/Prime. With a piercing mod, armored targets pose little threat, as a quick three round unload chews them up.

Only points of notice are two: Yes, the Black Widow is fine if you lack the Valiant, but the Valiant IS a better rifle. Less kick, faster rate of fire and reload speeds. And you are FUCKING SQUISHY. You have Hunter Vision for a reason, do not get shot at. You have the worst health in the game, literally, and with Vision up the shields of a Drell Vanguard. Use your turret as a distraction and overload to stun approaching targets. You have increased move speed, use it to stay away from enemies.

Top 5: ME3 MP builds that shouldn’t be as good as they are

Hadn’t done a top ten countdown thing in a while, and seeing as I’ve played a buttload of ME3’s multiplayer, this seemed like a good idea to me at the time, and something I’m arguably qualified to judge. So here we go, the 5 class builds that shouldn’t be as good as they are. I highly recommend anyone struggling with Gold or Silver try bringing at least one of these along, as most can carry entire games.

5. The Mage: (Quarian Engineer) There was a time where I’d be putting Quarian Infiltrator up here as the Sabotuer, but since the massive and unneeded Sabotage buff, Engineer is now the only good Quarian. And the irony being, you don’t want their core skill at all. The concept here is go 3/6/6/6/5 in skills, in particular having the 100% Incinerate bonus to frozen targets, and running around using Cryo Blast on everything, then smacking it with a massive Incinerate. For added fun, carry a Phalanx or Geth SMG using Cryo Rounds. You will almost never use Combat Drone, it’s all about fire and ice here.

4. Stunguard: (Krogan Vanguard) Shotguns are so last week, let’s use an Assault Rifle on our MANguard. In particular, let’s use the hilariously broken Striker. You take the usual points in Charge for bonus shields and force per charge, and take Incapacitate with Carnage. Now not only are you beefy, but after you make a Charge you pop Carnage for a stagger or knockdown, and continue to stagger spam with your point blank Striker rounds. So long as most of the enemies are in front of you, you can supress small groups into the ground at a time.

3. The Pointman: (Human/Geth Infiltrator) Who needs a sniper rifle when you have shotguns? This used to be the domain of Human’s, but with the addition of Geth, they are just as viable, though slightly less bursty, in exchange for knowing where everything is nearby. For humans the basic idea is going for the ability to fire a power from Tac Cloak while having the 40% damage bonus, having full Expose (35%) on Cryo Blast and max damage grenades (then going 5/3 on last two powers). Using either the Claymore or Talon pistol, you get up close, tag them with Cryo for expose, grenade them if they’re beefier, and then lay into them with a shotgun blast. This combo can instant kill Brutes in Gold. Geth runs similar in concept, using the bonus damage talent in Proxy Mine instead of Cryo Blast, and taking all damage modifiers in Hunter Mode. It’s the safer of the two, as you’ll known where things are at all times, including Geth Hunters.

2. Bullet Hose: (Turian Soldier) Here’s one pioneered by my friend Teh-Dave, and we originally thought was completely stupid until it worked far too well. As a Turian you take all the accuracy bonuses in Marksman and carry the N7 Hurricane with Heatsink + Clip. All other points are at your discretion, as literally all your power is during Marksman, when you can hold the Hurricane steady and at mid range annihilate anything with unbelievable speed. At short range an Atlas will do down on any difficulty in under 5 seconds, yes even Gold.

1. Biotic God: (Human Sentinel) It’s kinda sad that the best biotic in the game is not only human, but a sentinel. But that’s how it happened. This build is centered around every power damage boost you can get, including the 20% while Tech Armor is on, both detention bonuses in Throw and Warp for double dipping, and taking Throw’s impact damage ability. You throw bomb any weak target, and Warp > Throw anything signifigant. It’s the most straightforward of all these builds, but also the most stupidly powerful, as Tech Armor makes you hard to kill, and your biotic explosions will drop any enemy to their knees in record time.

The nice thing about all these builds is they have no reliance on Equipment usage, but like always each can benefit from it. Cryo rounds for Mage, Shield Bonus for Stunguard, Shotgun/Pistol Rail for Pointman, Armor Piercing Rounds for Bullet Hose, and Power Amp for Biotic God.

Oh, and a side note and general strategy rule, as I wasn’t even initially aware of this. The piercing mods are hands down the best gun mods in the game for nearly everything. The text on them is misleading and badly worded, you only lose damage for firing through cover, which you’ll generally only be doing with rifles, and the damage gain against armor is borderline absurd. In particular it’s why the Talon is listed for Pointman, as a lv5 Piercing mod for Pistols makes it superior to the Claymore, but only under that condition, as you get more penetration on pistols than any other piercing mod.

The greatest Hecarim killspree ever?

Okay, I’m not usually one to toot my own horn, (okay, get the masturbation jokes out of the way), but I think I just pulled off the greatest killspree not only in my entire LoL career, but possibly the single greatest killspree by Hecarim ever. I had gone to middle to help our mid and gank her lane. After killing Galio, I went to go fetch our Blue buff, and found Corki, Singed, Tristana waiting for me in the bushes. I pop Ghost before Singed can toss me and bail into the river.

I remembered that I had seen a video of someone using Baron as a juking point with Flash, and while I don’t have Flash, I do have my ult, which can be used as an even better Flash. I head into Baron, who has spawned, and a thought occurs to me. Maybe I can use this to my advantage. The three enemy team members trail in after me, but with me at the very back behind Baron, they can’t attack outright so they head in to get me.

To which I respond by firing my ult off, instead aimed directly at them, landing in the group of them. The charge through Baron sets him off, starting to attack, and my impact fear scares them away from me, into Baron’s den. As he’s utterly raping them. Tristana quickly dies to Baron before she can rocket jump out, and Corki is now taking the brunt of the abuse, and Flashes toward me, where I’m outside Baron’s doorway a bit, and get a great idea. I pop Devastating Charge and punt Corki back inside, thinking to myself “HAHA, GET BACK IN THERE.” Baron does his ground blast, knocking us both into the air, and subsequently killing Corki. Singed flings me further into the pit, and starts running with poison going, as Baron is targeting him now. I run at him, use Shourd of Death and get some healing off and Rampage him, finishing the job with some auto attacks.

So yeah, 1 v 3, a tank and two AD carries versus a bruiser, and I win. Because I fed them to Baron as sacrificial lambs. I’m so proud of myself.

Why Final Fantasy 12 is my absolute favorite in the series

You know, as much as I bash on Square-Enix, it should be known that I absolutely loved the company pre-merger. Nearly everything they put out was amazing, despite the few gems of shit like Mystic Quest or Tobal. They put out classics like Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and underappreciated greats like Threads of Fate or Secret of Evermore. So how is it that Final Fantasy 12, released after the merger, and generally disliked by most Square fanatics, my favorite?

Dear Esther: Uhm, wat?

For those to lazy to read the post, here’s the short synopsis: Dear Esther is to games as Tree of Life is to films. Both are beautiful to look at, pretenious, and in the end ultimately confusing. And both will take you about two and a half hours to sit through.

Dear Esther is clearly intended for people that enjoy things like Tree of Life, or are in the ‘games ARE art’ (as opposed to games having the capacity to be art) crowd. I do not belong to either group, and I’m highly likely to get remarks in this direction, claiming I don’t get it or some such nonsense. Here’s the thing, the real artistic merit of the game, it’s amazing environmental design, I adore. Exploration is always my favorite part of games like Skyrim, seeing what interesting areas were crafted. Dear Esther has that in spades, in particular the caves section is astounding to look at. The difference between exploring in Skyrim and Dear Esther though is that there is a reward for your exploration in Skyrim. Maybe it’s items, sometimes it’s just information to give you more insight on the area, like Fallout 3’s Dunwich Building, which simply ended with finding an audio tape to explain the place a bit. Dear Esther does none of this, which is interesting and bizarre, since the whole point of the game is to go exploring and parts of the ramshackle story would be revealed to you.

The problem with how Esther does it is that almost all the interesting tidbits you find off in the distance set off no narration at all, so they are just unusual pieces of mystery with no clues as to their importance, if any. After the first hour I basically wanted to stop exploring and just follow the path, but continued to explore for compulsions sake, and to be thorough when I wrote this post, incase it suddenly started narrating points. But alas, it never did.

Honestly, I really can’t say much more about the game, as there really isn’t much to it. I feel like the guys at thechineseroom would be very well suited to be picked up as world artists at Bethesda, I’d wager they could do some amazing stuff with Creation. But as story tellers I believe they dropped the ball, with the story being told in the game not terribly interesting, and the ‘twist’ in the last lines of narration being contradictory to nearly everything you’ve heard up till that point. It’s no Sixth Sense moment where you go “oh wow, I didn’t catch that,” but more of a “wait, how is that even possible? That doesn’t make sense.”

Whiney, personal post incoming

Seriously, you’ve been warned. Hiding it under the Read More for those that don’t want to have to see it.
