It's funny how so many kinda important story events/retcons happen in Mirror of Fate, and NOBODY played that.

How is LICD these days? Advance warning: I'm going to talk about how it wasn't for me.

I've literally only heard of it due to its infamy.

Yeah, I hear ya, meeting those kinds of KPIs is always bullshit where everyone just games the system as hard they can so that it looks like they're doing awesome, at least on paper. It always seems like a much poorer way of doing things than just having your boss/DM check in to see that you're doing your job properly.

I wouldn't so much say that it's "illegal", more that it's a legal grey area. I have a friend who is just traveling around Canada for a bit (we're both from here), trying to not be wasteful (it's kind of a philosophical/ethical point for him more than anything), and looking for places as he travels where he can…

Daisy Owl is phenomenal, if you want a story about an owl who can speak English raising 2 human children. Also, the owl's best friend is a bear.

I'm pretty sure it's super duper not as long as the store doesn't expressly forbid it (some stores are fine with it, some aren't). Any business that doesn't like you can always just arbitrarily define you as a "trespasser" whenever they want and ban you from the premises, so there's that (doesn't apply just to…

Haha, yeah, they may as well have gone that far, because it was already super hokey that he told his son to not spend it on cars and clothes when he doesn't even know what kind of person his son is going to be.

Well, people update their will on occasion, so it's possible this was a will written around the time of Bruce's birth, and maybe Thomas Wayne planned to go back to his lawyer and update it like 10 or 12 years later.

I'm guessing that was very briefly the idea and it leaked out during the brief, really early stage when they were considering it, but then they couldn't figure out what to do with a Silver Age-styled Batman game or something so they canned that idea, but none of that part leaked so everyone in the press was still…

I also like how his will is oddly specific about not spending the inheritance on fast cars and fancy clothes, even though it already heavily stresses that he'd like the money to be used in a philanthropic capacity. Yes, yes, very clever, they contrasted it with shots of the Batmobile and Batsuit, but who specifically…

That's what I mean. As an ongoing event where you can keep checking in to see if they've made progress, then go look up the narrative of what has happened, it's great.

Even if they did, I don't think it's really worth watching. You don't have the live Twitch chat, you don't have all the memes.

I'm assuming that, on average, game Kickstarters are asking for far more money in general than other products, since a game can easily cost hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

Is that XCOM "complete edition update" anything meaningful, or just some GotY edition with all the DLC and Enemy Within included?

I don't think that the premise of "Samus has PTSD issues around Ridley, also daddy issues with a former CO" is inherently a completely terrible concept, but c'mon, the monologue and dialogue in Other M was melodramatic garbage. Samus' internal monologue is terrible, and while you can get away with that much monologue…

Ahh, Ryan Sohmer (and some artist) continuing to rip off Bill Watterson? And Least I Could Do is still Mary Sue, wish fulfillment fantasy on Sohmer's part?

Endings are hard in general. Having a satisfying payoff for all that buildup can be tough for anybody.

Yeah, the game doesn't seem particularly balanced for Team Vanquish, but in this video game climate they obviously needed a team deathmatch mode. The Chomper seems especially underpowered in Team Vanquish.

That Captain America fight was fine. It wasn't super flashy or amazing or anything, but I didn't find it nearly as underwhelming as some of the other final battles in this article.
