SEGA, for all their failings, got this knocked out in Binary Domain. All without the RUSSIA STRONK stereotyping, too. Rachel's former British Secret Service, she's the demo/explosives expert, and while she's not superhero huge like Overwatch's character, she's definitely built to bring the pain.

Right, I don't think Bats would've gone into this solo. If Vader were an unknown, sure, he might've wandered in unprepared, but Bats if anything, is a man of research. If he's searching that galaxy, he won't miss news on Vader.

Looked like it was on Vader's suit, on a control panel linked to the cell, but IDK for sure.

In a stand up fight like this, no, he can't. Not even close. While Vader is a good martial artist, he's not as good as Batman. Vader might be running on cybernetics, but Batman is in almost Captain America-level condition and would rely on tech and guile. But Vader is a powerful force practitioner, and Batman can't…

This Smith mook is incredible.

I knew a woman in college who entirely ignored her car needing oil up until she went driving to Houston with my roommate and they called me, 5 hours north, about why the car stopped and why the engine sounded like it just became a grenade.

Ugh, likely. Granted, it's like any modding community - grab what you want, but it's still a little bothersome that a reflex thing to do is, "take the clothes off this person."

It's got her name on the project. I'm immediately disinterested.

ZombieOliver.

I almost laughed myself out of my desk chair when I read that post.

Somewhere in my ancient primate brain, I feel like the sort of people who don't have an issue with rape or don't care for legal protections against it are likely the sort who wouldn't like rape until there was something being jammed in and out of their rectums after being beaten for a few minutes.

Homey needs a trip to 4chan.

For fucking real. I've never, ever, ever, seen GTA marketed or told as an awareness story. Never. It makes out crime as a really fun thing to do where occasionally, people you care about get killed. None of that matters, because fuck it, death isn't permanent, consequences are short-lived, and the characters are hard…

Funny you mention that. That's actually how I think a lot of diversity issues need to be handled. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the character, Krem, is non-binary gendered. Funny thing is, it's not really a huge deal. It's not a huge deal for character design. It's not a huge deal for animation. It only really comes up…

You're right, there's likely going to be sort of an uproar about gender-neutral/transgendered characters.

In a game like say, Skyrim - tooling around with the random sliders can create a character that's gender neutral. And if it's modded, then that ability just got better.

It is. But there's sort of a difference. They're making their message known and being pretty loud about it.

Right, or have it as a menu option in the dash. The "check engine" light appears. You go to your in-dash menu, tap it and see what the deal is. I'd love to know the status of my car, especially for things like engine issues, tire pressure, fuel usage, battery charge state, and yeah - if possible - function status of…

I think every game publisher that could integrate local and couch co-op that chose not to implement that needs to issue an apology.

Right, and the larger the company, the more cooks in the kitchen. It sucks, but that's the case. Really, most animations are going to be relatively the same across genders aside from things that are particular to a character, say a male built like the Hulk or a woman built like a wafer. But by-and-large, the…

I like how Dragon's Dogma approached body types, stances and all of that. You could change your character's body type. You could also make your character more feminine or masculine in stance, in addition to I guess, "tone" of their stance. You could have a short, stocky male with a thing for looking timid. You could…

Yeah, I see that sometimes and I'm really confused by it. I live with a woman - her walk isn't that weird duck walk. It's not that knee-shattering stride used on the runway at Fashion Week. Her walk is a lot like mine, just that it accounts for wider hips and that I'm more masculine in my presentation (being a man,…
