Knowing that Conroy went to Juliard with Reeves just makes this extra special. It’s something I only learnt recently (reading the biography of Robin Williams with whom he was room mates) and it just makes it special that it ties back to the Reeves films even tangentially.

Four examples, two are pubslisher/developers (Ubisoft and Bathesda). The good will comes from the olive branches they’ve held out to smaller developers giving them platforms to publish with little to no overhead and taking a minimal cut. It comes from the outreach to under represented groups in gaming. It comes from…

Rubbish, Activision have done it, Zenimax/Bathesda have done it, Ubisoft have done it, 2K Games have done it. Everything you listed could be applied to every big publisher and every big developer.

Further, EA as a company have changed dramatically between the time of the EA Widow post and now. They’re not perfect, but…

The “Anthem is dead” and general EA rage on YouTube is why I don’t trust it any more. I mean yes, Anthem is flawed and there are complaints to be made about EA but the laser focus certain YouTubers have towards the publisher, Bioware as a developer and Anthem as a game and taking them down just makes me frustrated…

The good thing about this and Outer Words (say versus RDR2) is they are tight games clocking in at 20 and 40 hours respectively. The several hundred hour games have actually become overwhelming to the point I don’t want to play them (but that’s a subjective thing).

Yes, it is, that’s how I got mine.

And the same could be said about every AAA developer and publisher period. That EA is singled out has very specific reasons behind it (and the welfare of their developers and micro-transactions are not really the main reason).

Weapons being on par are not a requirement of a war being a war. Asymmetrical warfare is based around that disparity in weapons. Protesters have recently started arming themselves with bows and arrows. It’s not the success or failure that determines if a war is a war or not, it’s the intent within the heart of the…

I don’t know, to me it scans like she’s trying to move on and he just keeps sticking his nose in. I can see your interpretation and I may be giving it too much credit. I’ll have to see the finished product to judge.

To be fair, regarding “R” rated (though I could probably go on a big rant about how silly the American criteria for rating something R is but that’s secondary), HQ is a logical adaptation in that regard. Looking at many of the comic book interpretations as well as the film adaptation this is all in line with her…

To be fair, the original TRIED to get away with these kinds of stories just in the mode of the era. I do really wish the from the late 90s had survived. It was kind of leaning this way and Malcolm McDowell as essentially the devil was kind of cool.

Hypothetical, having just read the last Powers/House of X book. This is not our timeline. This is not the last cycle but the next to last, the one that resulted with Moira’s last return at the end of Powers of X. I just find the fact that Charles and Magneto look so young wonky (also Storm and Charles are SUPER…

Ah but legally drink in which country? For example in the UK the legal drinking age is 16 and 18 to buy liquor. Given the geographic diversity which nationality rules are they following? (Mostly being silly at this point.)

To be fair, they should be pushing their 50s. I was reading New Mutants in high school in the 90s with the “classic team”. Age in comics is “fluid” at best.

That article a while back about the mess the estate is in and the various grudges between different parties is really depressing (as is the amazing amount of myth building around Gary at the expense of other creators). This is all just a dark smudge on a hobby I love.

I love Tales from the Loop! I was part of the Kickstarter campaign for Things From The flood and have two huge posters up on my wall from that. I can’t wait to pick this up. Just wish I could make it work out where my party could play at the same time. :-/ The Summer Camp thread is great, I was running with that…

Well you’re in for a nice treat. I love that show.

They hunted all force sensitives including those of other force traditions (this is touched on in Rebels).

What is with Star Fleet and their shredding through uniforms in major ways. In TNG there was no consistency in uniforms which they’ve kind of retconned around and largely ignored when returning to that period but after Wrath of Khan they were largely consistent for the remainder of ToS shows but come TNG it’s become a…

Ergo, catch 22. Some people want a sense of reward for following along and getting tasks done others want flexibility. They can’t win. This is a low stakes solution. You don’t like it, others do (I personally can see both sides and don’t particularly care one way or another). Simply put, they are going to have to piss…
