I have had people tell me that this show is worth picking up Youtube Red to watch. Nothing but positive reviews that I hear.

More Freeeeeeee....and this one is really good too

@theonceler
I think they were too since the last episode of the first season felt like a series finale.

@roz
Damn. The whole show was really good too. That sucks.

Freeeeeee

A month we yellow tagged a fire alarm panel in a hotel. This means that the hotel by law is supposed to be shut down until they fix their fire related problem. In this case - the sprinklers do not work.

We notified the fire marshal again today. Fuck I hope no one sets that place on fire.

@ganymede said in Good or New Movies Review:

I understood T'Challa's struggle immediately. I didn't understand Killmonger's. I think that many black Americans understood Killmonger immediately, and had a stronger emotional attachment to him. I think this was by design. For a viewer like me, however, I wish I had a stronger connection because it would have made the movie so much better.

I think this would have been helped if we had had more screen time with Killmonger. In the total run time of the film he didn't have much. And I will say Jordan did a great job with what he did have.

Speaking of the cast...I think the entire supporting cast around T'challa did a fantastic job. I've loved seeing Angela Basset since her Strange Days role, but damn General Okoye, played by Danai Gurira was just phenomenal. I was also impressed with Shiri's actress Letitia Wright. I hope to see more of both of them in other films in the future.

@calindra
Because the movie has been out long enough to be released on digital and Bluray.

Did anyone else enjoy the Supernatural/Scooby Doo mashup? That was...I really enjoyed it.

OKay so Perfect Strangers meets Boon Dock Saints. Balki Bartokomous moves in with his cousin Larry, tragedy happens, and then all hell breaks loose Mypos style.

@packrat
A patch coming this summer will actually allow you to have rare spawn SLDF mechs that will give you double heat sink , gauss rifles, ammo, partial mech salvage, and the other components that were available to the SLDF at the time of the Amaris Civil War. These spawn chances will also have a chance to only appear on worlds where you take contracts that have the SLDF, Ruins, or Battlegrounds tags. Other tags may be used as well but those are the ones being discussed so far.

@admiral
Well if its successful that is the end result...

Interestingly enough, I think A Walk Among The Tombstones was actually a mashup of Taken and The Odd Couple. Except you know...the Odd Couple kidnaps and murders women.

@lithium
Yeah if you're going to run a light mech, right now the Spider or Panther is the best bet over the Jenner. The Spider for its speed and the Panther because it can jumpjet around and plink things with its PPC.

@lithium
You are yes. I found it near impossible to actually get the first ammo truck that makes a run for it without getting any mech out into the field of fire and letting it get hammered by all of the things that could shoot at it, which were many.

I would recommend going to another planet and doing a few of the 2.5 skull missions and see about getting a heavy mech at least to throw into your lance. At that level if you can find missions that have you hunting to assassinate a target or pick off a single mech, those tend to be heavies and you can work them to get them as salvage.

@lithium
Which one are you having problems with. We, the collective playing the game that is, might have some recommendations for you.

@thenomain said in General Video Game Thread:

Battletech.

I managed to fail the first mission.

Also, the three years later schtick? Really? At least it's done well; here's the situation, now here's where it leads.

That part is kind of jarring...

I managed to almost fail the second mission.

Why can't I put two medium lasers on the Locust dammit, I don't care about machine guns! How pointless!

I succeeded the third mission because there were machine guns on the Locust. Stupid little tanks.

Vehicles take double melee damage from mechs. You can pretty much run up with a medium and stomp them to your hearts content. Most, not all, but most mechs can pop a vehicle in an alpha strike. Vehicles are still dangerous to light mechs.

Fffffffiiiinnnnneeee, this is a fun game.

(I still have no idea if ammo auto refills after missions. The repair tutorial remembers to mention the armor, but forgets to mention the ammo.)

Yes armor and ammo auto refill so long as you have ammo in storage. But as you shift more to taking salvage over cash in missions you will always have enough.

(also: Does walking through power lines and small buildings and completely disrupting the infrastructure come out of your paycheck as you're destroying the roads and things? Because man.)

No hit for that on your pay received.

(edit edit: I wonder if you took all the tonnage from a 'Mech and put them in vehicles if you could absolutely swarm the field. It seems a dangerous proposal, but if done right, hmm.)

In the world of battletech there is a 5 ton hovercraft called the Savannah Master. It only mounts a medium laser. Trading the tonnage of a 100 ton mech for vehicles would get you 20 Savannah Masters. But if you traded on a cost for cost basis, the cost of 1 100-ton Atlas would get you 101 Savannah Masters. So....yes in a way.

@packrat
I had a chance to get a grasshopper but I dumbly took more money over salvage, knowing better. So I only ended up with 1 out of 3 parts and did not get lucky enough to roll for the other 2.

A general question for the game, has anyone seen any compelling reason to prioritize reputation gains?

@ganymede
I probably should have been more clear. Homecoming and the first Amazing Spiderman had the two best villains put on screen for Spider Man, in my opinion. That is why I said four other movies, so Maguire movies 1-3 and then Amazing 2.

I would have excluded Doc Ock from Maguire 2 but something about the way the character was handled bugs me.

And Alton Brown on Hot Ones. This is a great episode.
