  1. He should stick with the superkick too. Zig has no moves that set up either of his sig finishes and both the Zig Zag and the Blonde Ambition are a flash finishers that are pretty situational, so letting him keep his baby face spot offense and use a flash finish that hits out of nowhere is really smart.
  2. Luke Harper is your Wrestling Jesus and God bless Roman for blocking kicks with his face. He is not afraid to die for the sake of good camera angles and replay value.
  3. I love the PPV previews where workers are interviewed and talk about pending matches as if this were an actual sporting event where the outcome is unknown. The predictions at the end about who they think will win always makes me smile.
  4. I did a lot of the 28 but just now started doing 32 and 34. Gaming less on the weekend and sketchy connection during the week at my 'rents kept me from doing more 30+ PoE. I need to pound out more 28 PoE so I can get enough VoJ rep to get a blockade runner. I tinkered with the folks's router settings so I can hold a connection longer when someone else is hosting the Live Party. I've noticed that the connection craps out if I am lollygagging on Patrol but I stay on for a while if we're doing something specific like a raid or a strike.
  5. I still have 3 more 30+ PoE bosses to kill for cards: Skolas, the Hive Fire Prince, and Cabal Turkey. I was kinda hoping that the Hive guy and the Cabal guy would've cycled into this week's queue. I have cleared all of the 28 PoE bosses. (Pilot Servitor, Wretched Knight, Overmind Minotaur, Val Aru'un.)
  6. Thanks for the tips, Basara. Going in with a gameplan always takes the edge off. I have noticed that a couple of the PoE strategies are counter intuitive in that add killing takes priority over boss killing. It took a couple of wipes to figure out that the fight is easier if Kalik's helpers die before he does.
  7. If I knew I'd get a Vex Mythoclast for completing the jumping puzzle on my own, I'd have tried more often. The exotic was a blessing to cheer me up after repeated crap PvP play. The funny thing is that even though I am thrilled to get the VM, I would've been more happy if the Templar had dropped Found Verdict for me. I am ungrateful. I am still missing the Elder Cipher weapon cards and the Four Horsemen card for my Special Weapons Grimoire deck but we don't do enough PoE to unlock those cards and 4H is still PS exclusive. Weekly is Summoning Pits and the Nightfall is (once again) The Shadow Thief but Taniks has the misfortune to have Solar Burn working against him just in time for him to get GHorned by every player imaginable. 32 PoE is Kaliks and 34 Poe is Gulrot. I have smashed both of those guys before. Skolas has Small Arms and Juggler this week. Variks has chest armor this week and the weapon is the hand cannon, Six Dreg Pride. I already have HoW chest armor but it is Cabal based and this one is Fallen Bane so I am up for taking Kaliks out again to get Fallen bane armor in prep doing Skolas. I am going to make a Glimmer run while finishing off my Vanguarding this afternoon. Banshee has been less than helpful retooling my Shotgun to the specs I want for 35 PoE.
  8. I will just follow directions over chat, shoot at adds, and revive whomever gets kacked. If we don't have a Sunsinger then mine duty is on me. We will just thin the herd so I have room to run and then bait and switch when it is time for me to make mine diffuse runs and hopefully my timing will be really fucking good.
  9. If we are using the barest bones definition of meta horror to be simply a serious film within a horror film then the earliest meta-horror film is probably King Kong (1933) since the premise of the film is a documentary filming gone horribly awry.. If we're refining the definition to include complete self awareness and / or parody, then yeah I would go with How To Make A Monster (1958) with The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) probably being the next film in line.
  10. I am reading up on Skolas strats on Reddit. You guys will have to give me the lowdown on this Tainted Light deal. Looks like the basic plan is the same one for Skolas as it was for Kaliks. Thinning the add herd takes priority over damaging Skolas. The prospect of having to deal with defusing mines does not make me feel great either. Why can't it just be the mines you blow up with a weapon?
  11. Oh, I don't care either if people hate them. I am all about boosting my Grimoire score and my OCD trumps their ADD.
  12. I hear ya. I'd like to unlock the weapon and Crucible map cards in my Grimoire deck, but those PS exclusive strikes are pretty reviled. Even the PS folks complain about them.
  13. Hawkmoon and Monte Carlo are pretty coveted weapons and there was a buff to Four Horseman's range that turned it from gag gift to total beast overnight. Hawkmoon is more ridiculous than Thorn is if you can believe that.
  14. Looks like Wolfborne Oath is a Solar Damage shotty, the specs are static, and reviews say it is a pretty crap weapon, so I am going to reroll my Dry Rot and get a Shotgun Telemetry to bring it up to snuff. I've been leveling Fatebringer all weekend and am up to the Ascendant Energy nodes, so between my usual PvE and PvP routine it should be ready very shortly maybe even by end of gameplay tonight. I think I would be better off going in as a Bladesinger. I would be total crap for making orbs but being able to go invis and making clutch revives saved our asses more than a few times last week in 34 PoE. The trade off being that I would get my ass beat by retaliation melee while Arc Blading while running Stalker instead of Hungering Blade. I'd have to stick to clearing out Vandals and Dregs with my Super and killing Captains from range. I could still contribute to orb production by targeting Dreg and Vandal majors unless Lightswitch was on. My Voidwalker is 31, but he has 91 CMs so that should get me a piece of PvP armor that should put me at 32 to run 32 PoE, but that fucking Qodron run was a nightmare at 34. Going to be even worse at 32 even though I pretty much know what to do to beat him. I am up for running VoG as my Warlock if there is a fireteam online do it. Any shot at FV or a Mythoclast is worth it, even though I won't run the VM against Skolas.
  15. Just transferred the Weapon Parts from my Titan to my Hunter and got my Motes out of the Vault via Bungie,net. I am just going to reroll my Dry Rot 32 tonight when I get online and start slamming bounties to level it up. I've got an extra EL in my vault I can use to make it 365 Attack. I have a feeling that Variks's weapon of the week is going to disappoint me so I may as well prep for it. Hopefully I get the specs I want without spending a billion in Glimmer.
  16. Sage Advice received and taken to heart. I will get my hands on an Arc Shotty. I want to do 32 and 34 PoE this week so I will used the cores to get the Judgment armor if it has Fallen bane and the Judgement weapon if it turns out to be the Judgment shotty. If Variks doesn't have the Judgment shotty on Reset Day, then I will just reroll my Dry Rot 32 until it does Arc and at least has Full Auto and get it leveled up and ELed to 365 dmg as fast as I can. Either that or we can try another VoG run after Reset and I can pray that Found Verdict falls for me so that I can get it leveled up in a hurry. I work 7 days this week but I am on day shift, so I should be around in the afternoons and evenings barring any Dad and Boyfriend stuff I need to do.
  17. You are an idiot, dude. I am almost an idiot for being all "Hmm. ME3 co-op....." but then remembering that I really kinda do want that Year One emblem. And yeah, Mis. I am all about giving up looks for the win but I used the Armored & Weapon Cores from this week's P0E runs on Judgment's Chance and got Shadow of Veils. I shoulda got the gauntlets but what's done is done. I plan on trying to do the 32 and 34 PoE after reset and using the cores on armor and the weapon of the week if it turns out to be a good secondary. I've also heard that Found Verdict is a good secondary to use, but there has to be other secondary weapons that are just as or nearly as effective. I know that Budy still needs to kill Skolas so we may want to hit him up to see if he is up for it or if he even wants to make the attempt. If Brawler / Juggler comes up this week, I am down by law for rolling with whatever we've got and kacking Skolas.
  18. Yes it was a typically glossed over Hollywood biopic, but Straight Outta Compton is the best movie I have seen all year bar none.

    MR. ROBOT

    Loved the meet between White Rose and Eliot. BD Wong as White Rose = Mind Blown.
  20. VoG speed run was epic. I finally got Fatebringer which I hope to shove into Skolas's earhole before the Triumph deadline. Cannot thank you guys enough. Also got a Timebreaker so the Hold On To Boost Until The Sparrow Explodes box is checked on my Destiny career. I can also check off the Do The Jumping Puzzle To Get Down To The Vault block. Took three attempts but finally cracked the code. Atheon died almost as fast as I could aim a rocket at him. Jeez. If you're offering to help me with Skolas I'm definitely accepting as soon as I get Fatebringer up to 365 and hopefully when Skolas has stips that aren't team crippling like Angry or Lightswitch. I'm hoping he has stuff like Solar Burn, Brawler, or Small Arms on him after Reset tomorrow. My newly ascended Shroud of Veils is a 365 sniper rifle, does Arc Damage, and is a Captain bane weapon so that is the Secondary I plan to use.
  21. Venom Mob gets most of the Shaw Brothers notoriety . There is not enough love for Chen Kuan-tai especially since he was a martial artist that became an actor and not the other way around. He brought legitimacy to the fight scenes in his movies..
  22. This with added love for the Submission Sorority as well as BAD.. I love the Figure 8 leglock spot.
  23. My guess is that the story will only cover up until the time when NWA Greatest Hits comes out. There is no one in the cast playing Suge so the movie probably won't tackle the post-Ice Cube years or the Dre / Death Row stuff. And I am not going in expecting much. It is a Hollywood biopic so it will be more about NWA vs. The Man than it will be about the triumphs and tragedies of gifted but flawed men and I am strangely good with that since those dudes have been vilified enough over the years.
  24. The only way that movie could be bleaker is if all of the characters had Cancer.
  25. It makes me more curious about the exotics that will drop in TTK. If they want to hand out gifts, let Skolas be set for Solar Burn for the next three weeks.
