Cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I feel like I've tried just about everything and keep getting crushed at or around the 2nd boss.

LOL.

LMFAO.

Yeah that was not bad. Pretty good, even! Plenty of opportunities left on the table and too many cliches but on the whole very respectable.

I’m enjoying this movie as one of the better stories in this universe but I dunno, maybe the Predator should be taking trophies from the things he kills. Maybe that would be an easy way to connect this to the original.

Huh I wonder if this thing that attacks him immediately will come into play later.

Hm. Something to ponder.

Finally getting around to watching Predator Badlands.

Just before the opening lightsaber fight it occurred to me that the Yaujta should be radical environmentalists who came together and did a moon shot to prevent hunting everything on their planet to extinction… by hunting things on other planets.

This, of course, is what early access is for: to figure out which classes are well balanced, which need some tweaks, and which should be taken out behind the woodshed.

I'm extremely interested to see the win/loss stats for Slay the Spire 2's classes.

Based on my experience it's:
Ironclad
Defect
Necrobinder
Silent






Regent

Those both came out within a few months of Monster Train 2.

How am I meant to play all of these?

This is not a serious character.

Is he threatening to bomb 20 more schools full of girls now?

This is the unconventional approach I'd been missing!

The dude's so insane that, even though I thought it probably was fake, I remained open to the possibility that I was wrong.

May I humbly suggest that you check out IGN's reviews instead of taking the word of dudes who didn't like a review 20 years ago?

And, just like that, I became the Joker.

Hope you don't mind my chiming in here, but the whole reason there are a bunch of critics out there is that no one review can represent everybody's POV. Looking at Rotten Tomatoes, for example, it's almost never 100% or 0%. And no single critic is with the majority 100% of the time.

I haven't spent a ton of time with the Silent just yet but it's one of my best in the original so hopefully it'll be nice to me.

The Regent is probably gonna take me a while. Getting my butt handed to me more than usual with this guy!

Finally won a StS2 run with Necrobinder, which also happened to be my first co-op win!

And there was a big fat goatse reference in there, too.

Let me tell you a little something about judge shopping.

It's how our legal system works now.

"There's no rule against putting a dead golden retriever in my trash can" is what the other team should've said in Air Bud.

Short movie.

I've done special trash pickups in the past and they took *weeks*

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

If they can defeat the bungee cord holding the lid down then they earned it as far as I'm concerned.
