I’ve been enjoying that too, but now that I see how the game is set up (first person Bioware RPG as a bubble inside a Diablo-style co-op loot game) I don’t see why we can’t relentlessly and shamelessly flirt with everyone.

Dialogue that is 90% phrases like “WHAT IS THAT?!” and “GET IN!” and “LOOK OUT!” Isn’t exactly ripe for dramatic subtlety. But the original RE games still found a way to make it sound wooden and terrible.

To be fair, that hasn’t been a problem since Destiny 1; these are not story-driven games, the new Destiny stories are very simple, but they are direct, and your motivation is clear.

Okay, here we go: This is an Alien videogame that was made for the Atari. This game is literally pac-man.

They took pac-man and made some new graphics that don’t even resemble the creatures from the film, slapped the “Alien” logo on it and called it a day.

I went into it expecting a game that was going to be a little smaller in scope, and a few hours in, I’m enjoying it. It’s exactly what I hoped it would be.

This kind of recruitment DOES happen, though. Don’t try to tell me that 4chan and Reddit - especially the areas devoted to gaming and geek culture - aren’t safe spaces for right wing extremists. It’s a veritable feeding ground.

Just put a wagon full of hay at the bottom of every drop. Problem solved.

The baby piggies hit like trucks so you just have to lure them away from dad piggy and deal with them first. Dad piggy is less aggressive when there are babies around so it’s not too hard to pull them away.

Nah, I’ve been playing Destiny 2 alongside Spiderman and Tomb Raider and I only play videogames for an hour or two in the evenings before bed. I feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface of Forsaken. I’m still too underleveled to do most of the endgame activities and I’ve barely explored the final area.

I never thought I’d reach a point where there’s actually *too much stuff* to do in Destiny but here we are. I’m playing every night and I’ve still got little golden icons on things that have been sitting there all week.

Bayek deserves credit just for being an Assassin’s Creed protagonist who isn’t a Han Solo clone but still manages to be interesting. More than that, he feels like a well adjusted adult and not someone permanently stuck in adolescence. He likes kids, he is comfortable in his own skin, and he likes problems with simple…

I’m not a huge fan of Liana K honestly. As I’ve aged I’ve grown tired of people who claim to see both sides while everyone else is off the deep end. You can take any two extremist views to the left and right of your own to make yourself sound more reasonable and I just find that trick to be a tiresome form of rhetoric…

And I’d also argue that if the outcome of the progressive movement were to simply make people feel guilty, it’d be utterly worthless. If you’re a “woke” white dude and all that amounts to is saying self-deprecating things about your own ethnicity and gender, it’s missing the point. Extend to others the same…

It worked better in the books, because Scott actually ends up being single for like a year during which he learns all the stuff that gets covered in the last five minutes of the movie.

Combat looks like an evolution of Andromeda’s combat, which honestly suits me just fine; I really liked the way the shooting and zipping around felt in that game. The combo system also looks to be borrowed from Andromeda. It was a really fun system that wasn’t super well explained in that game, but once you figured it…

Your party members can die permanently but upgrades to your hamlet are permanent. So basically even if you wipe your party it’s not a “game over”. Dungeons are randomly generated but there’s a few different locations that all have their own unique monsters and dangers.

I’m struggling to think of a single French actor that appeared in Beauty and the Beast...

Congratulations internet, yes the consensus is that she does indeed have rather large eyes. You really took the bull by the horns with that one. Take pride in the fact that your comment is one among tens of thousands that will be cherished by future internet archeologists for all eternity.

I actually love the freaky uncanny valley thing they are doing with her face and I’m super impressed that it made it past a blockade of risk-adverse executives into a finished film.

Charlize Theron’s action career is a little weird, she did Aeon Flux very early on and famously threw herself (literally) at doing all her own stunts and fight scenes much like Keanu Reeves did for the Matrix, and suffered a serious neck injury in the process of filming. But the stunt footage ended up getting whittled…
