My wife, after seeing next week’s preview:

“...why are they wearing new clothes?”

As someone who loved S1 and skipped S2 because of the poor reception and a scarcity of leisure time, do you think it’d be worth it to watch S2 before S3?

Does that tool of a reporter know that Kawhi’s coach’s mom died just the day before? I don’t know that any of those guys are talking “Christmas cheer” right now.

For me, I preorder if I can get a significant discount on a title I’m almost certain to buy anyway. In Canada, most games drop on release date for $80+tx. I currently have a preorder for BFV through a BestBuy E3 promo for $50. Hell, I’ve still got a Kingdom Hearts 3 preorder from years back at only $40. It’s not like

Welcome back, mate! Sounds like you’ve been through quite the ordeal. I sincerely hope that you’re continued recovery goes well!

Sadly, this game will have more action taken against it than any actual school shooting in America.

Mate, the “side grade” comment may be true for some weapons, but there are some absolutely bonkers LBGs and HBGs up for grabs. Most notably, there is at least one elementless LBG for Normal 2 rapid fire and one elementless HBG for Spread 1/2/3 that absolutely outclass the existing weapons for their respective types.

That was created by Ion Storm: Austin, which was headed by Warren Spector. John Romero never touched that, hence its success.

Ion Storm... now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. I still remember the Daikatana ads. I guess something good did come out of Ion Storm: Dallas after all.

As much as I hate to say it, save scumming on Elder Melds almost seems like it’s mandatory for meaningful progress. And even then, it’s still a considerable grind.

There is a temporary workaround to the end of mission griefing:

Cites “violat[ing] the canon” in a game where Darth Maul fights alongside Darth Vader against Rey, among numerous other canonical impossibilities... ok then.

It’s really, really not. One of the trophies is for hitting maximum online rank. This requires 625 wins worth of XP, and losing a game will deduct XP. Even if you boost the trophy by getting someone to forfeit matches against you, that’ll take approximately 16 hours of non-stop joining/quitting matches. That’s nuts.

That would make my decision to go for the Switch version rather easy. Still, here’s hoping for some decent PS4 (Pro) love!

Oh boy... :3

Now to decide whether I want it for the Switch (portability!) or the PS4 (higher frame rate? HDR?). Not a bad conundrum either way!

Hello world.

Either my DNS servers haven’t been updated properly, or a large portion of AV Club is borked. film.avclub.com does not resolve, for instance.

I didn’t realize you were moving over to Kinja, but this is quite convenient for me—I regularly frequent Gawker/Univision/Gizmodo sites.

I would think partial thawing could leave the coin sitting on top, despite your food having spoiled.

A simpler and more reliable idea that doesn’t involve freezing a cup of water: leave an ice cube in a cup in your freezer. If it has deformed by the time you’ve returned* you’ll know that your fridge has failed.
