  1. It hasn't been delisted on the PSN yet so don't be an idiot just because it happens to be a game you love.
  2. RotK 9, 11, 13, 14 are all Ruler only but fair. I'm kind of the opposite in ROTK now honestly and is why I don't really play any of the Nobunaga's; Starting where everybody is small makes the game incredibly easy and incredibly boring. The AI is never good enough to provide even a meager challenge in those scenarios.
  3. Did you play XIV? Granted they are DLC but there is a lot of "what if" scenarios that go into the later period where Wei isnt quite the powerhouse. One especially is my favourite where the what if is Cao Cao dies in like 209 so Wei is split into factions for 4 of his sons. Liu Bei only has northern Jing, Sun Quan Wu plus Jiang Ling and Shou Chun, Liu Zhang Shu, and Ma Teng holds Xi. There's multiple other early year scenarios that are good too like 191, 196, the Emperor Lu Bu one in 197, 198 etc.
  4. Its heavily weighted towards video games. There are no good ASOIAF video games and likely never will be as there isn't any more books coming and with how the show ended the interest isn't there. Also I mean this list has Elden Ring on it. Great game but its a standalone, not even part of a franchise lol. EDIT: Also why Star Wars is ahead of Marvel. Star Wars has had two really good video games come out the last 5 years. Marvel has not.
  5. Did I like Warlord Chronicles by Cornwall. Yes. Did I think they were great? No. Derfel is too bland and magic being a thing in third book all of a sudden I really didn't like. Also no point to Derfel writing "the story" down, no payoff to that thread. On to Children of Ash and Elm!
  6. I didn't say he was unable to teach, he just didn't, things on his mind and why? The shadow hadn't been using those tactics as their troops primarily cannot use gateways. The only time it is used is with the Sharans and then they use that to devastating result because of the surprise factor. I'd say that was pretty smart of the shadow actually. The forsaken have their defenses set up so Rand can't just pop in. Rand doesn't set up the citywide wards no but he knows exactly what Sammael is doing with his; implying knowledge. Likely standard tactics in the War of Power to stop what Maia was complaining about. Kind of hard to use gateways for widescale invasions when your enemy knows exactly where you are coming out and when and could probably kill you and all the troops when the gateway opens much like what Rahvin does. Rand et al likely only survive the assault on Illian because Sammael isn't really trying to kill Rand as per orders.
  7. Rand uses those quite often, Graendal does as well. Is there a scene of Rand teaching that to Logain? If not its entirely reasonable that the reason we didn't see those weaves were because only 14 people could do it and only one on the good side and he was kind of busy at the LB.
  8. So I really liked the episode. Some little bits: - I don't think they'll use it or anything but I'm pretty sure there's the portal stone in the foreground when Moiraine and Rand come out of hiding when Lanfear rides past. Nice little nod. - Was Laman Moiraine's Dad in the show? - Kind of weird that Lanfear didn't directly kill the sacrificed woman who was with the horses (and left her dude to just die). I mean it would fucking hurt but she could save herself. - I loved Ishy's little coles notes on the five,
  9. I dont recall moridin giving Shaidar orders but sure lol. Regardless Rand doesn't take shaidars body so your point is baffling. I also don't think that will be in because I doubt the series will last that long. However if it does they will definitely include Shaidar Haran.
  10. My top 10: Medieval Total War II: 452 Total War Warhammer II: 389 King Arthur: Knight's Tale: 388 Super Auto Pets: 348 Dark Souls 2 : 330 Slay the Spire: 289 Dark Souls: 288 Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV: 273 Civ V : 232 Total War: 3 Kingdoms: 231 For those of you who have done a lot of the XCOMs try King Arthur, it's great.
  11. Why? They aren't them. They didn't do the things that other person did. (Also IIRC Shaidar Haran was doing the punishment to women. Moridin was just a warden over the mindtraps.) That however makes me think, are they going to keep Rand's inability to kill women?
  12. Cannons firing through gateways would be incredibly effective against anything. Particularly (which they don't do in the books IIRC) using the z axis so firing down, or up.
  13. To extrapolate on Corvanus... basically Aes Sedai cannot fight in regular wars between countries because they are not allowed to use the power as a weapon except against the shadow. Once later on in the series when there are channelers on both sides of a conflict generally it tends to have the channelers stay out of the regular fighting and just take on their enemy counterparts, because while they can do super feats and such and kill regular armies; if they get tired, they are easy to kill by other channelers. (Which happens, disastrously so multiple times)
  14. It isn't though and just makes you look like an idiot for thinking it so. Are you an idiot?
  15. It's not like Messi skipping the world cup because the FIFA world cup is the most watched and played sport in the world by far with prize money to match. FIBA is not at that point yet because to most of the world basketball was dogshit until 1992. EDIT: Also... suck it America! No bronze for you
  16. I don't think anything is going to change for them (or Amazon Prime) for a long while. These streaming things are just ways to get in with more customers as opposed to actually trying to make money from them. This isn't Disney or Discovery, they can keep doing this and it wont affect their value.
  17. Their problem (as with Team Canada) is that they have no size and so got killed on the boards. Interesting because of how the NBA is played there's not really any besides Embid that are currently good/not hurt 24/7 to come in for the olympics. And Embid should he play (given his injury history I wouldnt) may not even play for the States.
  18. No he got it after being healed of the dagger in Tar Valon in TDR. He needed to get out of the city and had no money so being ta'averen got him money. After that it just kind of stuck, but just not as good as that one night. He hadn't been through either door yet. EDIT: I really, really hope we get the scene where his luck breaks the fixed dice.
  19. Goaltending. Its much better in FIBA than in the NBA.
  20. Anakin did really shitty stuff but outside of that seems like a decent hang. Yoda is a dick 100% of the time. I'm sure Luke and Obi definitely prefer to hang out with anakin.
  21. If this is the first time you've watched Auralnauts Star Wars stuff you are in for a treat. Specifically watch the 6 episode Larry season 1, It legitimately takes Obi Wan and makes a good show out of it somehow.
  22. Moiraine does if she lied to Lan to get him to go away. If.
  23. So I'm trying to understand why bad lady apprentice and Not Ezra didnt shoot the ship that they knew had no power and shields rather than the jedi on top of it. Did they not realize that would also kill the jedi? Also why didn't retconned nightsister keep shooting the ship? And..... did Hera and Freddie Prinze Jr have like a surrogate? Why does the kid not have any twi'lek features?
  24. Did she actually lie to mat or just omit info? Mat wasn't mentioned in that part she read out after all
