Vox Populi

Not to mention that "loves girl who rebuffs him" is the most common plotline in movies.

This is sad news, I was a big fan of the show as a kid. It kept me updated on what planets to look for and other interesting things in the night sky, and to this day I still look for constellations and planets whenever I get the chance.

Four passive powers is nice, since I'm not a fan of micro-managing my defenses. Three toggles isn't bad, especially since Invincibility isn't really needed when soloing (unless you've upped the difficulty), so it's not a big drain on Endurance. And when things go bad, you have Dull Pain. When things go really bad, you have Unstoppable.

Even without IOs, you're very tough to defeat.

Pre-KO Blow, Inv/SS is definitely a slow-but-steady pace. One thing that is sometimes forgotten is Accuracy- nothing wastes Endurance and slows down a fight like missing! I slot heavily for Accuracy in the early levels, more than Damage. It only takes one fight against a Tsoo Sorcerer to find out why.

Who cares if the movie did badly? It doesn't need a sequel and, if it had a huge box office, would probably inspire a lot of similar-but-worse knock-offs. It got made and it was great.

Internet geeks were going to bash Michael Cera anyway, despite the fact that he played practically the opposite of George Michael, because they're just predictable that way. Let them miss out on a fun movie, who cares?

Seeing the different crowds last night was pretty funny, especially all the women pouring out of Eat, Pray, Love. I must have counted about three guys.

My friend didn't know much about Scott Pilgrim, and when we sat down she looked around and said (jokingly), "Is this a nerd movie? Why didn't you warn me??"

Online game servers everywhere must be quiet tonight- that was definitely the geekiest audience I've seen! Everyone loved the film though and cheered at the end.

The movie was a lot of fun, full of funny bits and great little details (one of my favourites was a sound effect from the 1980 Flash Gordon movie). I'm curious to see how it holds up to a second viewing.

Question I've been meaning to throw out there about a CoH2: Would you prefer a sequel or a reboot?

Fans of the ingame lore would probably prefer a sequel that builds on the existing story, but I think I'd prefer a reboot. This game has a lot of great enemy groups and ideas, and I'd like new players to start right on the ground floor with them. Plus, re-using some story and mission ideas would help create a lot of content in a short time.

Star Wars geek nitpick:

I find the consensus score on Rotten Tomatoes is usually about right. Sometimes a little too high or a little too low, but it's rare that I completely disagree with it.

Bruising helps low level Tanks solo- beating down Lts. and Bosses can get boring. For it to be stackable, the percent would probably have to be lower, which defeats the purpose.

Another little bonus is that Tankers get the best debuff numbers in Kinetic Melee. It's a move towards my idea of helping Tanks stand apart from the other melee ATs by giving them better secondary effects. (I'm not saying that's going to happen, just that I liked that little detail.)

Anyways- Issue 18: Tanks get even more powerful.

It's like they're daring all the internet geeks who complain about Weezer to look at that face and gripe.

Without a doubt, Scott Pilgrim.

My inner child cried when the Jedi turned out to be a bunch of amateurs. The supposedly wise old Yoda has known about this prophecy for centuries, then at the last minute realizes, "Say, 'balance' is kind of open to interpretation, isn't it?"

Yogi sounds closer to Jackie Mason than Art Carney.

I like the Impervium Armor set not just for the Psi defenses, but the Recovery and Endurance bonuses as well.

In total my main build has 17% Psi Defense and 30% Resistance from bonuses, which is nice. Psi Bosses used to be an issue, but aren't anymore.
