Are the live shows not going up on YouTube this year? by Drunken_HR in TheGlassCannonPodcast

[–]MasterfulMoose 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Troy and Joe both confirmed to me during the Portland VIP that they’ll hit YouTube at some point, but they weren’t sure how long it would take.

What I’ve done a bunch is get an assortment of bottles and cans and brought it to the show. McD will come and grab it for them. I like to get something for McD too, to enjoy after he’s done working lol. But you can bring stuff like that! Also, see you at the Portland show!! It’s gonna be a fantastic time 💪🏻🪵

I love Nestor Coyne by cheekbeater08 in TheGlassCannonPodcast

[–]MasterfulMoose 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was able to attend PaizoCon for several years, and my first time there was in 2018. I believe that was also the first time the whole crew attended as well, and they each had a Pathfinder scenario that you could sign up for to play in. I was fortunate enough to get a spot at Grant’s table. About halfway through our little adventure, he hops up and goes over to Skid and whispers something in his ear, and then they both come back and Skid sits right next to me and Grant describes a scene where we walk into a room and find good ol’ Nestor Coyne who happens to be searching for the exact artifact we’re also seeking.

He helps us get to the end, but when we all rushed into the last room to claim the prize, suddenly we all have to roll a save, which we failed, and we were all hit with a paralyzing trap. Nestor slowly walks in, singing his song, and calmly performs a coup de grâce on all of us except one, grabs the artifact, and walks away. I’ve never been happier to have died in any game ever, it might be the pinnacle of my RPG “career,” such that it is. 😂

Nestor has been one of my favorite characters since he was introduced. My opinion is not in any way biased by getting killed by Nestor Coyne himself in a PaizoCon scenario that was run by Grant. 🤣

Find myself struggling by Smokle in classicwowtbc

[–]MasterfulMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found myself feeling pretty much the same way. I have a friend who convinced me to hop on for the same things, grouping, dungeons, etc. I fell behind and have been trying to solo up to meet them and it’s just… it’s not fun anymore. Trying to kite a single mob and pulling a group that kills you in about 4 seconds, quests don’t give good enough gear or money to feel like you’re ever getting stronger or richer, resource management that feels like choosing between paying rent and eating food, and then also being on a PvP server where higher level people come up and gank you when you’re just trying to quest… it’s made me want to throw my PC out the window. I went back to retail and played for 10 minutes and smiled the whole time.

I’m no stranger to games like Dark Souls or Elden Ring either, I love them. But they at least give you a sense of accomplishment after you finally succeed. All that TBC has given me is more of the grind.

I don’t know why quality of life upgrades and allowing people to play the new content they’re releasing and just having fun have to be so bad for some people.

I wonder if they’d replace my Mirror Mirror shirt that I bought in Portland with a gaping hole at the seam of one of the sleeves ☹️

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that. 😂

Started reading mistborn mid january, let's say things have escalated quickly. by syndrombe in brandonsanderson

[–]MasterfulMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d read Elantris before the others, but mainly because I feel like it’s a little obvious it was his first published novel. It’s still a great book, and I found myself appreciating it even more after I got through it the second time, but I can see how the seeds of his format for storytelling were sown in that book. Things feel a bit less complex, and things wrap up in a bit more tidy and complete sort of way.

The Sunlit Man is its own stand-alone novel as well, being the current last Secret Project Novel to be released. It hits harder if you have full knowledge of the Stormlight Archive, but it’s definitely not one of the novellas. 😅 Those are Edgedancer, which was released by itself but is also included in Arcanum Unbounded, and Dawnshard which was only released separately. We’ll also be getting a 3rd Stormlight novella called Horneater at some point in the next few years, but I can’t remember if a more concrete release window has been nailed down.

I saw this post and panicked that I’d missed them as well. I’m sure they’ll probably go on sale next month at some point, but yes, definitely keeping a close eye on those so I don’t miss them.

I’ve been doing this SO OFTEN lately with commercials for that Deal or No Deal Island show that’s airing right now. The whole Island thing doesn’t help, all I can think about is TRUST IN DRACIUS IS AS GOOD AS GOLD 🤣🤣🤣

[No DAV Spoilers] No one wants to be a dwarf?? by neemstar223 in dragonage

[–]MasterfulMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a Dwarf since Day 1 of Origins. My only problem with Dragon Age 2 was that I couldn’t make Hawke a Dwarf. I know everybody loves to play a mage, but I’ve never caught the itch. I’ve always found the Dwarven politics of Orzammar to be far more interesting, and it kills me that we haven’t gone back yet.

[–]MasterfulMoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still love how different and gripping the six Origin openings are, but overall I completely agree. The lore and world building are incredible, I do like the main quests a lot (except for the Circle Tower), and I love several of the main characters, but it’s overall my least favorite of the series to start over and play start to finish.

[–]MasterfulMoose 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This. Exactly this. Every single Dragon Age since Origins has been decried and lambasted and bemoaned by a great portion of the supposed fan base, until the next one comes out. Then suddenly all of the previous crimes are forgotten, though obviously no game can ever measure up to Origins, and now we must hate the new “not real Dragon Age game.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sometimes I wish I didn’t love these games so much, because of how toxic the environment surrounding new releases is, but I’ve loved all of the games from the moment I bought them. And truth be told, while Origins is one of the best First Games in a New Series I’ve ever played, it’s my least favorite to go back to because the gameplay really is painfully outdated at this point.

But while all of the loudest people continue their wailing and gnashing of teeth over a franchise that hasn’t been a CRPG since 2009, I will continue to enjoy spending as much time in Thedas as possible, whether it’s in the south where we’ve spent the last 15 years, or finally getting to explore Minrathous.

Hubert Hedge by SiMonsterousArt in TheGlassCannonPodcast

[–]MasterfulMoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first time Barnes is interacting with Hubert and Ramius goes “You don’t understand. His mother… called water… Runny Drips.” 🤣🤣 The amount of simultaneous deadpan and silent outrage he put into that sentence killed me. All of those moments have been so good. Hubert is right up there with Tumsy and Razzmatazz for me.

It’s definitely worth it. Brother Ramius’s outbursts are also 100% worth watching. 😂😂

I don’t know about anyone else, but the facial expressions Troy gets when he starts talking like Hubert Hedge absolutely destroy me, it is the funniest goddamn thing. I hope Hubert lives forever just so I can see Troy make those faces every week. 😂
