Yes, they were genocidal xenophobes not unlike many if not most of the other major factions in the games. The NCR is willing to crush anyone and anything to expand their nation, the Master wanted to turn everyone into rock-stupid monsters, the Institute wants to kill you and replace you with a robot duplicate, the…

Eh, I dunno. Maybe there's some legal reason for the delay but I do think it's kinda weird to sue over commercials that haven't even been on the air for the last 2 years.

Having known him as a kid from Fallout 3 weirded me out too much to want to try to fuck him, tbh.

Strong meh- they didn't even want to enslave and eat anybody. If your bar of "repugnance" in the Fallout universe is just "wants to kill everybody and steal all their shit", then all the player characters are even more repugnant simply due to their efficiency and success rate.

I would argue that New Vegas is the pinnacle Fallout experience overall, honestly, including 1 and 2 (which are both great games and, on their own, also superior to Fallouts 3 and 4).

Any long game with a pop soundtrack is going to wear thin after a while, regardless of when the songs actually came out. I was sick of every radio station in GTA5 like 15 hours in.

Functionally, he just pawns the kills off on NPCs by using the "pacify" mechanic to get enemies to fight on his behalf and just reloads any time it doesn't work out in his favor.

Incidentally, my wife made MacReady wear Cait's outfit everywhere and it's surprisingly flattering on him.

Man, Fallout 4 doesn't even have any really repugnant factions like the Legion, either. It's just a bunch of boring dudes who all want to shoot at each other.

I'm really dating myself here but did you ever play Privateer? When I was a kid, my friends and I used to pour hours into just cruising around the galaxy scraping up money to afford better engines.

Oh it's certainly something I've been guilty of as well, but lately the tendency for disagreements on the internet to result in people just shouting past one another has only made me tired. Basically the only reason I haven't entirely deleted facebook at this point is that I need it for show promotion purposes.

As I indicated below, I picked Far Cry 4 back up and am once again enjoying it well enough. I may start a playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas this weekend, since my wife started playing it after logging some 200 hours into Fallout 4 and it's been fun watching her go through it again. It's also been fun to see how she…

I don't know that I've been surprised by much so far beyond just enjoying some games I hadn't originally been looking forward to, Horizon: Zero Dawn foremost among them.

That's really more of a He-Hulk thing.

It's really more an internet problem than it is a problem with what he actually said, I think. The nature of the internet has come to mean that your take has to be scorching hot to even get any notice, so coming down like the hammer of God on any statement with which one might have a mild issue is now de rigueur.

Hah, that's fair, but I'm honestly willing to buy it more for Clark/Superman than I am for Green Arrow. I always liked the justification that people did notice the resemblance between Clark and Superman but just thought it was a coincidence, assuming that someone as powerful as Superman wouldn't even bother to have a…

Yeah, it's true that the villains have mostly stood on the quality of the actors portraying them. I guess I'd say Red Skull, Ultron, and…uh, well, shit, maybe that's all as far as the actual movies go. Pierce is pretty good, but he's not exactly a comic book villain, you know?. I've never been as hot on Tom Hiddleston…

He's a menace!

Honestly, James Spader's performance as Ultron was far and away my favorite part of the movie. It was just so weird that I really dug it. The movie overall I found to be just OK, but Ultron is pretty easily a top 3 MCU villain for me just for Spader's performance. I'd love for him to come back for a tighter movie.

I love the bit in, uh, I think Kevin Smith's Green Arrow run where Mia immediately figures out Oliver Queen is Green Arrow because nobody else in the world has facial hair like that.
