Gladiator II - 94%

Far better than I expected. Good tie in with the original. Managed to capture the Colosseum well. Not as good as the first Gladiator but that was a classic. Denzel Washington played his part well. Hopefully there will not be a third... Seems like it was a bit of a stretch to have this one.. the irony of being back in the pit and having to fight his way up again.. 

I watched this on the plane as I was flying back from Las Vegas to Detroit. 

Prison Break - S3 - 99%

Fantastic. Can't believe they killed Sara... Felt like they recaptured the essence of the theme. Quite a character shift for Brad Bellick, amazed they kept him in the show. Interesting that they kept Mahone too. Gretchen seems a bit inconsistent as a character. Overall, great season.

POE Phrecia Obshabi - 100%

Amazing fun build! Finally. Third time is a charm.. 

Amazing at mapping, not so much anything else. 

Build is based on getting Shrines and extending the duration with the idols. 

With the overlapping buffs the DPS goes well into the millions and you can get from one side of the map to the other in less than a second. It is so fast you can't control it!

I repeated the same build as the scavenger for leveling with Power Siphon so got to maps in about 4 hours again. 

The Squire and the Resolute Technique Ephemeral Edge each cost 100C so I had just enough to get rolling as soon as I got to maps with the real build. 

Super tank. Can steamroll a T17!!! 

Lots of unpredictable fun!

The Voice of the Storm was the most expensive item needed to complete the build at 2 divine. 

So a total of about 5 divines to steamroll a T17 is very cheap!

Wicked - 80%

 

Shockingly, Ariana Grande did a fantastic job with Glinda. 

Music was OK. 

Didn't like how they tried to make the animal silencing be like racism...   

Started to watch this movie with the kids but realized they hadn't seen the original Wizard of Oz so we watched that first and then went back to this. 

Will probably watch the next movie but not really looking forward to it. 

POE Phrecia Scavenger - 85%

 

This was the most popular build.. Power Siphon Mines. 

Had enough from the first build to buy the 50% movement boots and the tabula. 

The second smoothest leveling ever. From start to mapping in 4 hours. 

No problem killing the Searing Exarch. 

Pretty good DPS but really squishy.. Could clear T13s pretty smoothly but forget T16s... 

Could have put more time and effort and I am sure I could gotten to where I could be T16s but didn't feel like it was worth the push.  I was gonna quit for the league but then I saw the build I wish I had seen before starting this build! So I gave up on this one too. Managed to get about 200C worth of random loot which was enough to get a good start on the next. 

POE Phrecia Commander - 80%

Leveling was a major pain... Till I got to A8 and got very lucky landing the Tectonic Slam of Cataclysm on my Cruel Labrinth. Then I found my first divine right after that.. So then everything was very smooth until I got to the Searing Exarch.. Brick wall. I was able to kill the Eater of Worlds deathless but I couldn't but a dent in the Searing Exarch. So, I played the build to level 89 and gave up.

Good starter build except for the slow leveling. 

Pretty great clear speed. 

Cyclone has very low top end DPS. Doesn't feel like it has any hope of any end game. 

Not a fan of the map/idol system. At first it feels ok but then it feels like a lot of unrewarding content. 

This new ascendency isn't really anything special.. Just a big endurance charge build. 

Satisfactory Nuclear Setup

 

5 Nuclear Power Plants all going 100% with no waste, no alternate recipes. Copied from TotalXclipse but it is not on his page anymore.. 

From my main base.. I belt in:

• Heat Sinks (5 per minute)
• Copper Sheets (50 per minute)
• Concrete  (141 per min)
• Stator (15 per minute)
• Steel Beams (18 per min)
• Quickwire (200 per minute)
• Sulfur (105 per minute)
• Uranium (150 per minute)
• Iron Plates (10 per minute)
• Quartz (30 per minute)
• Lots of water... Each reactor takes 240 per minute, then more for the acid and 

• The Steel Beams and Concrete are combined to make Encased Industrial Beams at 1 Assembler 
• The Copper Sheets and Quickwire are combined to make AI Limiters at 2 Assemblers 

• The AI Limiters assembler outputs are each fed to an assembler to combine with the stators to make Electromatic Control Rods (2 Assemblers)
• The Sulfur is combined with Water to make Sulfuric Acid at 2 Refineries. One needs to have a 10% output increase. The water to one of them is partially piped in from the overflow of the non-fissile uranium production.

• The Sulfuric Acid connects to the 3 blenders limited to 30 per minute each which all make the Encased Uranium from the raw uranium and concrete. Each blender connects the acid back on itself after the limiter providing the 10 sulfuric needed to needed to make it 100%. 

• Encased Uranium is directly output to each of the 3 Manufactures  which combine the Encased Uranium with the Encased Industrial beams and Electromagnetic control rods. These three are evenly split out to each of the 5 Reactors. 
• 120 Nitrogen Gas is combined with water and 10 iron plates per minute to make Nitric Acid at 1 Blender
• The Nitric Acid is fed into a 100% overclocked blender and combined with 100 Silica per minute, Sulfuric Acid, and the Uranium Waste to make Non Fissile Uranium. The overflow water goes back to the sulfuric acid refinery.
• The Non-Fissile and more Uranium Waste are combined to make Plutonium Pellets in the 1 Particle Accelerator. 
• The Plutonium Pellets are sent to 3 Assemblers to be combined with concrete to make Encased Plutonium Cells
• The Encased Plutonium Cells are sent to 2 manufactures and combined with steel beams, electromagnetic control rods, and heat sinks to make Plutonium Fuel Rods
• And finally the Plutonium Fuel Rods are resource sinked

Dog Man - 90%

 

Pretty good. Very confusing... Who is with who?, who is the bad guy?, why are the buildings alive?... 

Kids liked it. Watched at the theater. Liked the animation style. I didn't read the books or know anything about it before... It inspired my daughter to get the books and read through them. 

Prison Break - S2 - 98%

 

Great second season. They really kept it going. Paul Kellerman is all over the place. T-Bag is well played. Good plot and great ending with going back to prison but it is totally different than before.  Bolshoi Booze is a cool word. The tattoos got a bit old like he wanted to get caught.. just to have a game between Michael and Mahone. 

Prison Break - S1 - 98%

 

Better than I expected. Many times the physics doesn't really work but the story is great. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the time. The bigger plot of the company and the constant threat of execution was great motivation to keep watching. I didn't know anything about this show, figured they would be in prison trying to break out for 5 seasons but they got out on the first. The doctor (Dr. Tancredi) is pretty cool. Didn't like how it made it out like she died and then she just was only mostly dead...
