If you have a good amount of stamina (sounds like you do) and enough poise to be able to attack without getting stunlocked or your attacks interrupted, you'll probably do fine in it. It'll be a nice challenge, but nothing insurmountable. Just focus on DPS with them, watch for the grab attack (it'll one-shot you at…

Sounds like you're running low vit/def while MacDougall above is speaking from high vit/def experience. With an absurdly high vit and wearing, I don't know, full giant's armor for one, the player can take a real beating before going down, especially in the 4 Kings fight where IIRC they deal mostly physical damage.

The only good multiplayer action was generally a pretty bloody affair though. No respawns, either, unless you're you.

I watched this when it was new on DVD and enjoyed it. Had it in my Netflix instant queue for ages now but as those things tend to go, it's been queued alongside a billion other things that caught my eye but were never watched. If it's still there, this article may very well be my impetus to finally watch it again.

As long as we exercise discretion and due diligence as we explore genetic modifications, no big deal. It's not the idea of genetic modifications that bother me more than it is that things we do and think are great and hunky-dory now have a nasty habit of revealing serious, unintended consequences well down the line.

Ah, okay, I gotcha now. I agree on that. I do think it could be said that revealing the nature of the media used may seem novel to some and perhaps makes the processes behind the animation more relatable to a lot of people who are familiar with those items, but not used to seeing them used out of context as such.

Whiteout does have the benefit of being quick-drying and leaving a textured pattern that looks quite nice, and will happily accept inks while layering fully opaquely over the same inks as well. White ink would be too transparent to layer in the same way this is, and would not preserve the chroma of any pigmented ink…

Sony's going full asshole, and Microsoft is going full Media Center with a pay-wall over the pay-walls. This fucking tears it.

Only tip I have is, if you can't fit everything you are buying onto the u-scan scale in one go, don't use the f'ing u-scan, you jerk.

I agree with this. I as well want a new Real Final Fantasy Tactics myself. FFT:A2 was...alright, but nothing in that series has met the standard set by the first game.

Physics is only part of the problem. That you had to cease everything to manipulate that horrific, drunken robot-arm appendage at all was the other problem. Spending 4 minutes maneuvering a crate into position just for it to go squirting across the room because you dared to breathe made for an atrocious time.

Or I can just say "About 6 miles" and screw the math. Which was in some way kind of the point. Let a new generation sort that out. I'm well-trained and doggedly set in my ways. If someone wants to get pissy because I refuse to convert for them, that's what the internet is for.

Depends on your audience, I guess. Still making mountains from molehills though.

Came to take the piss out of exactly this. Glad to have beaten to the punch by the Messiah himself.

There's more than plastics, too. Older game carts contain trace amounts of highly toxic heavy metals as well.

What a pointless and possibly environmentally toxic gesture.

Interesting. Source engine continues to look mighty fine as the years wear on, even despite its quirks. Such a great bed for creativity these days. Part of why it continues to live on like it has, I imagine.

Getting more of a Borderlands vibe from them myself, but totally.

That was funny. Immediately think of "Battlesong" from 3030 while watching this, and think one could easily give it a similar treatment.

I think I prefer the direct simplicity of the original model.
