I’m so hyped to get my Toreador on.

Weird. It only takes me about 30 seconds to a minute to get into most games, maybe a bit longer for unpopular game modes. Maybe it’s down to platform? I don’t play on PS4

No mention of the excellent Shadowbringers launch trailer. Boo!

As somebody intensely fascinated by how the brain works, this was a really interesting read for me. Thanks for sharing.

Total War: Warhammer 2. Its new DLC, the Prophet and the Warlock, just came out this week and I’m enjoying it quite a lot. Been a fan of the tabletop game and the Lizardmen faction for years, seeing my boi Tehenhuain, a gigantic buff Skink (normally a small race of tiny Lizardmen) running around in a Doomguy level…

Oh there’s no way he’s read Tolkien if this was his takeaway from the books. I’m never going to say that we must all love Tolkien’s works, but if you’re going to level criticism against something beyond saying “it’s just not my thing” then you need to be EDUCATED on the matter, which he very clearly is not.

I’ll second this. Well said.

Except Lord of the Rings isn’t about racism and that ridiculous misinterpretation that was drummed up solely to stir up some nonsense controversy is the bane of my literary existence. Even if we set aside the fact that Tolkien utterly and famously hated allegory, heavily shutting down the idea that he wrote in an…

Except Tolkien didn’t do that! Seriously, it’s less the inane lumping together of the entire globe west of Asia as “America” that gets under my skin and more the legitimately stupid illiterate misinformation that he’s trying to spread here. 

Lord above, I utterly despise that nonsense “orcs are mongols” rubbish. Speaking as somebody who researched high literature, including Tolkien, at university, that poorly thought out, idiotic interpretation of orcs really grates on me. The only reason it was written in the first place was to stir up controversy for…

I’ll definitely say that Miyazaki is a fantastic film maker, but speaking as an educated and proud lover of high literature, he’s definitely being extremely ignorant here in regards to his rather quite foolish condemnation of Tolkien’s work. Setting aside the fact that even the films of Lord of the Rings are very…

Tell you how they should have done flying mounts, should have done them like it was done in FFXIV where you need to seek out a bunch of hidden stuff (aether currents in FF’s case) in order to unlock flying in each zone, meaning the player has to go it on foot for their first time in any given zone, thus seeing the…

I find that Cross Tag is really good for giving more niche titles like UNIB a bit of mainstream exposure. And now with Arcana Heart being added, I’d very much like to see that get some love like UNIB did.

UNIB>Melee, change my mind.

I wouldn’t consider Nier: Automata a masterpiece. It was a good game with good ideas, but it never felt like it hit its climax and stopped too soon. It felt a touch half-baked to me, but I’m glad it sold well because I kinda want to see what Yoko Taro can do on a higher budget with a bigger game that can accommodate…

So long as they stay the hell away from Nep Nep, I’ll look the other way.

I’m playing with a DM who decided to make goblins the primary antagonists of a whole story arc. Turns out the little buggers are actually threatening when there are hundreds of them and they’re riding giant venomous spiders as mounts while in a frenzy!

OBJECTION! The defence would like to remind the prosecution that the internet has officially recognised the swole of Kylo Ren, leading to the so-called “Ben Swolo” meme. This indicates that Kylo Ren definitely has something to be proud of.

I’m rather enjoying Joon Yorigami from the most recent Touhou game. Sure she might be a con artis and scoundrel as well as her status as a God of Pestilence, but god damn if her sheer level of confidence and swagger isn’t oddly charming to me. More importantly, I love the way she fights. Everyone fights in Touhou,…

...Oh that director can shut up. I don’t mind it being with a Japanese cast any more than I cared about Ghost in the Shell using white actors, end of the day the ethnicity of the cast won’t make or break the film. Seeing such utter rubbish justifications for something like this which ultimately doesn’t matter, though?…
