    Astral Dreadnought has kind of a fatal flaw?

    How did I miss that? I read that statblock 3 times and I still missed that! Reading comprehension is apparently not my strong point.

    Astral Dreadnought has kind of a fatal flaw?

    Is it just me or does the astral dreadnought have a terribly fatal flaw? Anyone who gets swallowed by it gets to go to a demiplane, where they can hack away at the creature at their leisure? It's seems like the best way to fight an astral dreadnought is to climb into it's mouth so you can...

    Heroes # 9: It's Coming/Nov2008

    I still don't understand why Linderman wanted to blow up a city. That plan didn't make any sense to me either and Pa Patrelli seemed to be going along with that one. He was even willing to kill off his own son for it. Why? I don't know. His new plan at least seems like an improvement...

    007 - Quantum of Solace (SPOILERS)

    I really liked Quantum of Solace. Partly because it didn't feel like a sitcom anymore. James Bond's actions in the previous movie had an effect in this one! Crazy talk! Yes, folks... If you're going to go see a sequel, see the first movie first! Is that so much to ask? Plus this movie had...

    Forked Thread: What is wrong with Return of the Jedi

    What's wrong with RotJ? What's wrong with RotJ? :mad: And no one even mentions it?!?! The thing! The thing that's wrong! You've got a list of 50 things wrong with Jedi, and there ONE major thing that's truely, deeply wrong with it is not even on it? I am of course talking about: "The Rescue...

    Agricola

    I've won with just a large stone house and pretty much nothing else. Although I had occupations that helped. Sometimes I try to get a clay/stone oven so that the food is taken care of and THEN go for the stone house...

    Whee, I'm 40! Any advice?

    Try to get old enough that your age rolls over. Just because it hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean it couldn't happen... Maybe at 128.

    Sins of a Solar Empire

    My feelings on Sins of a Solar Empire are also mixed. The game is good. When I first started playing it, my impression was: "Wow. This is really awesome." As time went on, I started to realize that the races are very similar, and the research is not as interesting as it should be for a...

    Rant: CHILD Ghost Hunting shows.

    You're watching a show about ghost hunting kids. What did you expect? On a related note, the following shows would also suck: - BattleCats - Canadian Gladiators - Ennui Factor

    I got prison tats while in Azkaban

    Have you ever seen a thread involving Latin on ENWorld that *didn't* devolve into 3 pages of discussion on how the heck to say something? I'm amazed Romans were able to speak without constantly correcting one another. YouTube - Life of Brian - ROMANES EUNT DOMUS

    Agricola

    Oh, my. I once thought as you did... My wife and I were playing and she acquired the "Hedge Keeper" occupation. Basically, it gave her three extra fences whenever she built one. So, she took almost all of the wood in the game and had a HUGE number of animals at her disposal. I, on the other...

    I got prison tats while in Azkaban

    "Hand shining light"? My latin is very rusty, but I'm not sure "Manus Lux lucis" is quite what you want. To get the "of", you need to change "lux lucis" from the nominative to the genetive case. I think genetive of umbra should be umbrae. But again, it's been a very long time.

    Anyone got an opinion on Fable 2 yet?

    Yeah, I was worried about that too. When I started my second game I was like: "They couldn't possibly be that stupid. Could they?" So I gave it a shot. And now when I start a game, I pick from amongst some tarot cards to decide which hero to start with (and no, I don't mean the male/female...

    Anyone got an opinion on Fable 2 yet?

    Don't get me wrong, I loved Mass Effect. The depth of story there seems much deeper than it is in Fable 2. But the ability to play in the sandbox and do your own thing seems higher in Fable 2. Somehow, the game manages to give more sandbox options than Oblivion and yet still remain more...

    Anyone got an opinion on Fable 2 yet?

    I'm really, really liking it so far. My axe-swinging wizard owns a vegetable stand and does some blacksmithing on the side when he's not busy being awesome. My evil character, on the other hand, starts off his day by killing everyone in the local gypsy camp. I wonder if it'll be as easy to...

    Heroes#6: Dying of the Light/Oct2008

    I actually liked this episode (other than the whole puppet master bit... that was just stupid, drawn out, and obvious). One of the reasons I like it is that it potentially explains why Peter needed to get Sylar's power. Future Peter knew that his dad would steal his powers at some point. By...

    WotC changes how D&D mini's are going to be sold.

    I like the 1 visible figure. Makes it more likely that you'll get at least SOMETHING you're interested in. However, I can imagine a horrible future where FLGS's are overflowing with Wrackspawn visible monster packs... The one thing that kind of made me choke though... $10.99 for THREE PC...

    Is the economic crisis affecting your gaming purchasing?

    Haven't purchased any minatures in a very long time now just because that was getting expensive... But the potentials of the economic crisis have made me rethink the way I purchase D&D books. I used to grab them on release day. Now, I order everything through Amazon (saving about $10 per...
