After the first episode I'm intrigued. Lots of lore stuff, but I get that they are setting up various point of view characters.

We thought this would be fairly 'meh' multiplayer and yet we've been having a blast with it. Only have a few characters unlocked and haven't really done much of anything with customizing decks, but there certainly seems plenty of opportunities to do so.

https://ftw.usatoday.com/2022/08/amazon-buy-electronic-arts It's coming from multiple sources now...looks to be announced today.

Renewed for a 4th and final season, so looks like they will get to close out the overarching story.

Its almost a shame that the Kingsman movies exist as Taron Egerton would make a fantastic Bond

House Velaryon does show up in the original books as a minor house of non-dragon Velyrians that came to Westeros a few hundred years before the Targaryens did. Honestly having House Velaryon be dark skinned with the platinum blonde hair makes it easier to distinguish characters than if we had a...

Looks like the 'paintjobs' are literally pre-painted configurations that you can apply versus just creating your own with different colors / washes / etc. I suspect they will gate some colors / special textures with an in-game currency but their general theme APPEARS to be non-evil in nature...

As a person who is not only a faggot but also loves both tactics games and painting minis this is absolutely aligned with my interests.

www.moonbreaker.com Apparently Brandon Sanderson now makes games in his freetime. This man is not human.

I'm a big Volition fan from back in the day, but this looks bad. The whole 'intro mission' has a stealth sequence wherein you can just walk past the guard without doing anything else. His awareness is so slow (probably because its a tutorial mind you) that you don't have to stealth at all...

Yeah that was the first show they had developed which has a pilot episode filmed and which HBO passed on. It was allegedly full of fire mages, dragons, children of the forest etc.... Sigh.

I would have much rather seen a show set in Old Valyria with Rome-like machinations and magic etc. Its a shame that other pilot failed.

Are they gonna be time skipping significantly in this show? Things don't really go down for several years after the events of episode 1

Well Matt Smith was badass...but we already knew that.

Tried the demo for Diofield Chronicles, the new pseudo real time tactical game from Square Enix. Why is it that Japanese games always look and feel like the UX team has been in a coma since 1994?

Season 3 of this dropped this week. Decent enough storytelling and interesting reworks of the various characters. I especially liked what happened with Ork-0 The finale "The End of the Beginning" however sets up

On a different note : I'm not sure how I feel about the nat-20 changes. Codifying the nat-20 = skill success rule is natural, but making spells with hit-rolls no longer benefit from nat-20 seems like a significant nerf. I get that they are making these changes due to more sources of...

Eh. I've had white jock dudes say the same thing though. While this may be showcasing things through a 'woke-ish' lens, I think the universal appeal of the game as a creative / social outlet is at the core of it's modern success.

Good move choosing to eskew the 'edition' nomenclature and just declare 5e as the permanent edition. https://www.ign.com/articles/one-dnd-reveal-dungeons-and-dragons-5e-dndnext

Getting back to this 'Pre-purchase event' -- its prepurchase rather than preorder....which implies that they want people to pony up all the cash ala Early Access, just without the actual early access. That's some ballsy greed right there.

Bonus episode just dropped

Inquisition definitely is. It has a solid overarching plot that is accompanied by decent episodic content. I played Andromeda because I'm a Mass Effect devotee, but it's just painful. The start is clunky as fuck and while it gets to a steady state of adventure after awhile the overall mix of...

Fair point. It is good for FPSes as that is what it was designed for, so I'll amend my statement: EA needs to give up trying to shoe Frostbite into types of games it was never designed to support. You just know some MBA little twat looked at the development costs for Frostbite and the...

EA needs to just give it up with the goddamn Frostbite engine. You tried to play with the big boys and you failed. Suck it up and throw whatever tithe is necessary to Epic and get on with life.

You need to make the switch. The interface is more fluid and there are so many more things you can do in Foundry and the add-ons and system rules that people create take it to a whole new level. If you are unwilling to run a server yourself, home machine or otherwise, then The Forge is a very...

That's a very compelling idea. Since the USSR is still very much around in this alt-timeline it might make sense to have that occur. Plus it gives us extra reasons to explore Margot in a USSR-based plot thread.

Yeah it was absolutely an OKC analogy. It helps their overall alt-narrrative to keep some 'fixed points' to help explain why some pop cultural references exist.

Joel Kinnaman is gonna look like 'old man Steve Rogers' from Endgame in every episode at this rate. He fought in the Korean conflict long enough to pick up the language so he must have been at least 20 by 1953 so he'll be in his 70s in season 4.

I've also taken some extreme liberties with the setting. The people that currently have the EarthDawn license used the system as a basis for a spinoff called '1879' which is basically Shadowrun but steampunk. I regard most of what they did officially as crap but their core premise had promise...

So Netflix done fucked up.... They sponsor Trixie Mattel and Katya (a couple of drag queens) to do reaction videos to various Netflix shows and movies in a YouTube show called 'We Like to Watch' and the latest episode went up yesterday for Sandman. Towards the end of the episode, however...

I'm still, to this day, annoyed that Dragon Age didn't really pick up the ball from where Origins ended. I thought the different character options and all the potential there was just so damn fun, especially as they chose to revisit the traditional 'fantasy' races but with all sorts of twists...

I think the first few maps seem so easy because we've been down this road before and these are mostly just tutorials. Fuck Spiffinmoore. I have like 5 offices for "Pastoral Care" with a line of PTSD patients out the door at each one thanks to all the lightning / meteor storms.

I bet the Korean guy ends up being a main character in season 4. I suspect after the 'wait we lose our stock options??' moment in the last episode we also see a very different Helios.

also adorable! I can almost feel uptight church-lady nostrils flaring with each Sermon or sacrifice.

You should absolutely watch Severance if you haven't

God damnit. Just when I was ready to pull the plug on this bitch... That was absolutely true and what we see on the newspaper at the end is fitting. Unlike the previous two season the timejump this time leaves us pretty much in the dark about the state of things in space as we see Good...

Ack! I forgot this was a coming out today!

For Constantine they just wanted to emphasize that this was a different Constantine than had appeared in movies / Arrowverse / animated films etc. There has been a lot of him around the last few years and Gaiman wanted to twist things up just a bit.

Remember that this was still part of the DC universe at this point. Vertigo was not yet a dedicated imprint for the various horror/weird comics. Anti-life being the very thing that Darkseid has been seeking forever. "Hope" wins because that's the one thing that Lucifer still holds onto. Same...

We get it, yer a whiny little bitch. You don't need to keep reminding us.
