Yep. Been saying this for a week.

To paraphrase The Dude: "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole."

The Candy Citizen guns really make the picture.

"DeOrbiter has a sensor to locate a satellite," Halsband explains. "Then it achieves a rendezvous with the satellite and has a unique grappling and docking mechanism to hold it in place. We put a lot of energy into our microsatellite that allows each one to do these tasks more than 20 times."

Nothing major, sure. But let me give one example of an even smaller tweak that serves as a good metaphor for the entire update. At the end of a given race, the game now defaults to the "next race" selection on the menu screen instead of the highlight reel, which it did originally.

If you thought this was a story about a gay youth, you missed at least 2/3 of the story in that game.

Fine. Then going by your rules, Batman would win because I wrote the scenario, and that's what I, the writer, want him to do.

It was an incredibly, deceptively deep narrative told in a novel way that took full advantage of the interactive medium to tell a more traditional short story complete with character development, symbolism, subtext, and genuinely human emotion. And it did all of this without ever actually introducing us to the…

If you want to do the whole straight up fight to the death scenario, implausible as it is, then I still see Batman winning without much trouble. Using his stealth capabilities, he sneaks into Wonder Woman's royal chambers on her home island and steals her magic ceremonial sword (the one that goes along with her…

Again, that depends entirely on what they're fighting for/about.

First of all, Batman doesn't kill. Secondly, Batman will never fight Superman head to head without some trick up his sleeve. His planning, strategy, and sneakiness are his superpowers. As I said, Superman would be defeated before he knew there was supposed to be a fight happening.

What can it possibly mean to "defeat" Superman?

Fuck that movie. That version of Superman was garbage.

Superman doesn't kill people, and Batman is one of the world's greatest planners/strategists. He would have defeated Superman before Superman knew they were supposed to be fighting. Batman has a contingency plan in place for all the the world's most powerful metahumans. He understands that superheroes pose as great…

See: any of the many, many comics where Batman has outwitted and beaten Superman.

No. At 30 you're as adult as you're going to be. Probably more than you will be at 60, honestly.

The second most Jeff Goldblum-y person in the world is James Spader.

I'd say there were about even on the disappointment scale, with Watchdogs maybe taking just a little bit of a lead based on the huge hype that surrounded it.
