That makes sense given the premise of the season. Willow oversteps by bringing Buffy back, which starts her down the road toward Big Bad. And Noxon wanting the show to reflect the harsher parts of maturity, which I could see including how people accept or reject responsibility for misdeeds. I was somehow unaware of…

The fact that people cannot simply credit Prinze Jr. for supporting his wife through all of the trauma she had to endure is insane to me. The fact that his father was famous has nothing to do with what is being discussed here.

And good for Gellar for trying to create a safer environment for young actors. She went…

The fact that she’s looking out for folks now cause there’s no one who could do that for her. She’s A-class. 

Im glad someone else appreciates the story in Hardspace. Good lord but the Steam comments on that game are a bunch of whiners.

I didn’t understand all of what you wrote, but I appreciate you writing it, thanks.

Chill, dawg. Kotaku isn’t afraid to call Sony on their bullshit when Sony does something problematic. (See: Sony refusing to give Kotaku review codes because they don’t like Kotaku’s reporting.) It’s just that in this case, MS published something that Kotaku can comment on.

Does Eidos-Montreal (Deus Ex series) count with the Guardians of the Galaxy game that was pretty good?

About 20 years ago I rented Alien 3, and due to some combination of the filmmaking and the wear-and-tear on the VHS tape, the dialog was unintelligible, the sound effects were overpowering, and the picture was muddy except for a few sequences with obtrusive, shiny-looking CGI.

Dishonoured 2 is great, Emily plays more like Deathloop than Corvo. But Death of the Outsider can sometimes be more fun because you don’t have to worry about who you kill in that game. Whereas the others you need to keep your kill count down for the good endings.

I liked Paper Girls. It deserved a better chance imo.

Game translations are rarely good, and I know Power Rings got a lot of people mad (I thought it was ok, but my nerdrage isn’t focused on LotR), but man, The Boys, The Tick, Undone, Invincible, Man in High Castle, AnneDroids, Truth Seekers (RIP)... I think they’ve done more good than bad so far. So I’m cautiously…

I have some opinions and thoughts on these romances. For starters, I do lament slightly that there are only a few and that they are limited by gendered voice. But those that are there are interesting and well-developed.

“There’s A LOT of writing in there, but that’s not the same thing as great.”

They’ll fly off the shelves because they’ll likely be great games with great writing, that may release flawed (like most video games these days) but will receive years of after care. Just like TW1-3 and CP77.

Scrolled down to see if anyone mentioned Ultraviolet and glad both yourself and Evil Lincoln beat me to it.

The list should include Ultraviolet, a late nineties UK tv serial from Joe Ahearne that starred Jack Davenport, Idris Elba, and Sussanah Harker. It is a smart horror/thriller, easily binged at only six episodes, and can be found on Tubi, Pluto, etc. Plus I think the unsold U.S. remake pilot can be found on Youtube.

Ultraviolet with  Susannah Harker, Idris Elba, and Jack Davenport was quite good I thought, less constrained by vampire mythology than some of these shows 

This will definitely be Chris Roberts’ retirement/investment fund. I wonder what ridiculous salary he has given himself. As far as I can tell, all that he has done is come up with impossible idea after impossible idea without planning the development logically and has just kept piling on more and more promises (lies)…

Exactly this. Announcing something is perfectly fine, especially without a release date, just to confirm what’s next.

I never wrote anything on Mike’s tribute because I felt anything would be inadequate; the best comment was that his writing and enthusiasm was so genuine it made topics that weren’t interesting interesting (IDGAF about food but would eagerly read every Snacktaku).
