I pledge to Dead Orbit just because they’re the ones whose philosophy I most agree with. New Monarchy wants an aristocratic government, which nuts to that, while FWC are escalationists who value military action over humanity’s other interests. Dead Orbit wants us to expand beyond the solar system to accomplish as much…

I spent like the first 10 hours of the game just walking around being a tourist. This period/place in history is kinda my bag, like it’s half of my library, so I was READY. It didn’t disappoint. Alexandria is actually breathtaking. It’s not a perfect representation, but the fact that they went out of their way to lay…

If anything, this makes me want to play the game more just for the virtual (historical?) tourism aspect of it all. I’ll probably never get to go to Giza and I certainly won’t be allowed inside, so this is the next best thing?

Haha I was commenting less on the cost and more on the delightful absurdity of the whole thing. A big figurine display to celebrate the expansion? Cool. Making them all player characters from the game? Pretty brilliant. Making them all the characters of the people attending the convention? Absolutely nuts.

So I stopped playing after AC 3. Did they do away with Desmonds story and those puzzles? That was some of the best parts of the game

I really hope that they do what they’ve done with skins in other games and change Widow’s voice to Nova’s. That voice from Nova just seems... wrong.
I’m also really glad that they’re incorporating more of the Blizzard-verse into Overwatch. Excited to see what’s coming!

I’ve never had much interest in the AC series and I’m not huge into Egyptian history, but that’s fucking cool as shit.

Meh. We all know it was aliens. And they better included that in the game too.

Though you forgot to mention the one time where the strip comes full circle and a real person, Calvin’s one nemesis no less, actually plays calvinball with him towards the end of the strip’s run

Yeah, earlier today I was in the middle of a mission and had to leave an island. “Borrowed” the felucca and left a lady in the middle of the Nile. Her hubby never even got up from his seat at the front of the boat.

I genuinely felt bad the first time I was escorting someone and borrowed the boat only to have the driver dive overboard...

Borrow. It’s so much kinder and gentler than in a game like Grand Theft Auto.

Turning 30 is essentially the real-life equivalent of one of those annoying video-game sequels where all your hard-earned bad-ass-powers magically evaporate in the first 5 minutes... Except it also turns out you played the first game on Super-Easy mode, and the sequel is stuck on Ultra-Nightmare.

Sounds like a fantastic idea that’ll get enormously hampered by issues with stock.

Note to on anyone playing Nier automata. ..
