Referencing “The Boys” and maybe referencing Lex Luthor? Clever. Take your star.

Lucky that you were able to restart your attempt!  I got super close to the end of Deus Ex: Human Revolution playing a no-kill/non-lethal playthrough and I think an unconscious villain I’d knocked out got killed by exploding debris right before I started the end game and I couldn’t go back to earn that achievement.

Agreed! I’m appreciating the diversity of accents in the new shows. Prior to The Mandalorian season 2 (Episode 15 “The Believer”), all Imperial agents spoke with an English accent. Hearing a good old boy Southern drawl coming out of the mouth of an Imperial was a shock but a pleasant one.

There were mass layoffs back in January. G/O Media wanted the staffers to move to LA or lose their jobs. Half stayed in Chicago and got severance packages so, yeah, AV Club is not what it used to be.

Never heard of Black Sails or Counterpart?  The network puts on good shows.

SAME. I freaking love that movie because it’s the one that, to me, shut up the Henry Cavill haters that came out of the woodwork when MoS came out stating that he can’t or is a poor performer. The man can act and I’m pissed that Hammer is such a piece of shit that we’ll never get a proper sequel to that movie. Unless…

That’s one I’ll need to do over the next time I play through ME2. Seeing Kelly liquified was horrible to experience all because of the fact that I recruited Legion, did other missions, including his Loyalty one, before going through the Omega 4 Relay.

Too bad this new content isn’t available to anyone who pre-ordered the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition last year.  Per Gearbox/2K, some of the new content overlaps with the current content so it’s listed as “unavailable” in the Epic Games Store.

And I thought it just Bioware that was guilty of this.  Rebooting ME Andromeda 3 years into a 5 year development cycle gave us, well, you may have witnessed it.  Not sure what’s going on at Microsoft and 343 games but I wonder if they’ve rebooted or scrapped what they had and then that’s why the demo we saw was…

South African slang.  I expect to hear Sharlto Copley say this but not Cillian Murphy.

Thank you for that podcast, link!  Found the episodes you’re talking about.

Rogue was better than Unity, and tied in beautifully with AC III and Black Flag, and I thoroughly enjoyed Syndicate. That said, I miss the sci-fi framing elements from the Ezio/Desmond era of the games.

^^^^^^THIS 100%. I saw Eneloop batteries mentioned a few years ago on Reddit and they’re awesome! I saved so money by buying rechargeable AA batteries once and never buying disposable ones for my XBox One ever again!

It’s not always Pascal in the armor.  Episode 4 “Sanctuary” didn’t have Pascal in the episode at all.  It was Brendan Wayne (John’s grandson) the entire time and Pascal dubbed in his voice afterwards.  Other times it’s Lateef Crowder (Ong-Bak, Tekken). Both are stunt doubles and actors.

Someone else, on io9 I think, posted a link showing a pivotal scene with the Second Sister, without warning, and this like 2 days after the game had been revealed. I was a bit angry about that.  More so after beating the game last weekend.

I do know Norse mythology and didn’t have *that* spoiled for me until a girl I was dating blurted it out carelessly and revealed the alternate name when I was only about a third of the way through the game. Needless to say, that lessened the emotional impact when that character learns their true origins.

So my question is this then about Brick:  Is he supposed to be cosplaying as Tim Cappello from Lost Boys?  Either way, I’m here for this.

Came here for the Titanfall 2 comment and left here satisfied. Take your star. 

It has to be.  Definitely a start to those predictions.  Can’t wait to see how Kirk and Maddy’s predictions pan out.

Fun fact: Smallville was originally developed as a young Bruce Wayne series but the WB got scared and changed the focus. As a result, the writer took home royalties for every episode of Smallville aired since his idea and work were abandoned after development.
