Penny Arcade made that Assassin’s Creed joke a year ago.

Leave it to Penny Arcade to throw in a random Twilight Zone reference for no reason.

I was going to say how much I agree with Nerfnow, but then I got interrupted

yup. It truly boggles my mind. I spent the last 15 years working non-profits and I’ve been at a tech company the past year and it’s....so stupid. It’s mind boggling how little emphasis is placed on actually making a truly good and important product. All the focus is expanding the product and adding more features and…

I’ll never understand the wildly arbitrary and ever changing metrics by which mega corporations define “success”.

I don’t care about football (or really any sport), but I am 100% on board with Jason’s earnest NFL recaps and Kirk and Maddy’s not-quite earnest participation in them.

Eh, drop Axel/Lea too. He’s only still around because he’s popular with the fans.

I made this comparison elsewhere, but it would be like going from Age of Ultron to Infinity War. Sure, you can follow the plot, but you won’t know why Captain America, Falcon, and Black Widow are fugitives now, who Black Panther and what Wakanda are, why Hulk is in space now, where Spider-Man came from and why he…

I think its really cool. Good luck, Commanders.

yes just ignore the decades of vandalism, robbery, grave tampering/robbery, antiquities looting/theft, shooting, bombing, stabbing, smashing, slicing and chopping.

We know BBS and DDD at the very least play a big part considering the villain was introduced in the former and what we know about his plan was revealed in the latter. The BBS main characters are even on the cover of the new game, so I think it’s safe to speculate that they’ll at least play some part in the game. Feel…

3 isn’t out yet, so no one knows for certain...but precedent suggests that the answer to that question is, “probably not”.

I’ve been watching someone play the kingdom hearts games and the plot isn’t nearly as complicated as everyone says it is, it’s just a little pointless...

Then you probably made the game much harder than it needed to be, how did you keep your life up?

Since there are no Hearts in the grass, cooking is the main way people restored health. Plus, depending on the recipe, it gave you extra health and/or resistances for various areas you don’t have the optimal gear for.

Can it actually be considered murder if they just come back to life during a blood moon. Isn’t it more of a case of extreme aggravated assault at that point?

penny arcade is the end of a 3 parter, and my enjoyment of their stuff comes from their mixture of ultra low brow poop jokes and really smart  wordplay...the fact that they set up the whole weird “corrupted plants” premise just to use the glorious pun, “hobcoblin” had me laughing way more than any sane person would.

I think they learned their lesson with the Thargoid hyperdiction of The Gnosis; Having Thargoids attack a group of non-combat vessels is just unsporting. (Even if it is accurate.*)

How much you want to bet the devs are all like, “and at this point, drop a Thargoid here. You know, just to spice this thing up?”

This is a great way to bring the community together. I tried to get into Elite but I’m not elite enough. I just couldn’t get a feel for it to keep my interest. It’s a vast universe with so many deep systems; too much for me to pick up at this stage of life.
