I found the combat mildly clunky, but really at the end of the day I just found Geralt himself completely insufferable. It’s not a criticism of the larger franchise by any means, but there was just something about the character as presented in 2 that I personally found deeply unappealing. Friends have told me he’s…

This is exactly what I was hoping to hear! I was worried that 1. I wouldn’t be able to engage with the plot after skipping two entries and 2. I just fundamentally wasn’t interested in the series.

Since people seem to have really liked it without being particularly engaged by the first two entries I’ll definitely give…

Does anyone recommend Witcher 3 to someone who frankly disliked both 1 and 2? I’ve been itching for a good open world RPG for a while (DA:I didn’t really scratch the itch) and as far as I can tell Witcher 3 is the only other serious option going. I’m just really hesitant after trying the last two entries and giving up…

So I really liked and agreed with your post on the whole (as a Californian in my mid-twenties I don’t not flush the toilet, but I agree with most of the rest of it), but then halfway through you got weeeeeeirdly noble savage-y.

What uh, what’s up with that?

When he was in college my dad worked in the photo department at a Longs Drugs, and he LOVES to tell the story of the time a lady came in with just rolls and rolls of film she had taken of a presentation someone had given. Every single slide they had projected. And she had taken them...with the flash on. They turned…

Right? How do you pass up a title like Total WAAAAGH

For real. They might as well put “Please attach a letter testifying to your social class” on half the job listings that call for bachelors degrees.

Only for the purposes of forming a citizen’s militia, to provide for the common defense.

I truly believe that there was one brief moment in time when the eras of History Channel overlapped. Like a two hour period where they aired documentaries about jesus alien nazis, and it would have been the most transcendent experience in human history.

because the “sex tape” itself looks like a college film midterm

In the new game...units can be combined into a single tile

I don’t even LIKE the Witcher series and I know they earned the credit. Quietly excited about this, but keeping it background level until we hear something more specific and concrete.

So do people recommend this game even to people who really didn’t like the first or second? It always looks so pretty, so engaging, and the world so well composed, but I never got more than an hour into either of the other games. It’s a game I really want to like, but I’m worried I’ll have the same experience I did…

She totally does look fabulous, but I am just not digging the hair jewelry. I think it’d look better if she chose to keep it the same color but rock the full Morticia Adams

Fair enough really. I meant more that I can see how they got here, not that it was something they had to do. I can see writing season 3 and feeling like you had nowhere to go but here.

Frankly this seems like a natural consequence of their format. They want to tell a story about prison, the impact of prison life, and the consequences of the american approach to incarceration, but a long time ago they decided to wrap it up in a story about a rich white lady going to jail for a year. In order to…

there’s certainly a precedent for things drastically improving with future expansions and updates

Plus as a man I always vote for the candidate that makes me feel most masculine anyway. That’s why in 2012 I wrote in truckasaurus.

Yeah, for sure. It’s not like everything is happy and rosy or like this is a sensible situation. And it’s DEFINITELY not like US IP law makes a great deal of common sense.
