There’s a major flaw in that argument. Lord of the Rings was not released as one large story originally. It was spaced out over decades in it’s original release. Final Fantasy VII on the other hand was released whole. THAT had a narrative arc with a beginning middle and end. This just had one forced into it and it…

Well here it is. I’d suspected it but it seems a lot of the truly STRANGE additions to the narrative were done because the game felt like it wasn’t a full game without them.  Because it’s not a full game.

You just typed the phrase “iconic cereal box prize”.  On purpose.

Wait this game fused Gandalf and Rafiki?  I must get this game.

It’s for the best. Now if only they showed as much concern for their employees when it came to “crunch time” (that is, that crunch should be entirely eliminated at the expect of delaying games a few more months across the board).

Fable is amazing everyone. You can plant a tree and eventually it’ll break every promise the creator made.

Don Bluth was trying to actually get a full movie made but animated by frickin’ Don Bluth!  And they do THIS?  Dragon’s Lair is as basic as it gets.  There’s no point in making it live action.

Ah I see. That’s the key there, as narrative games they moved the bar along. I suppose I wasn’t really paying attention to the story, so it depends on just how well you receive that. Personally I thought Perfect Dark had the better story, but there’s no denying that it’s less immersive to read a dossier between…

Who cares? Let them dupe, it doesn’t affect me.
We don’t need a duplication investigation.

I just have to ask, what WAS revolutionary about Half-Life 1 and 2?

It wasn’t the shooting part- because Doom and Quake had already done that.  It wasn’t the objectives, because frankly Goldeneye revolutionized what goals and mission structure a FPS could have in ways that Half-Life didn’t touch.  Was it the somewhat…

What in god’s name is she blathering on about?

Gamestop converted their stores into a “popular hangout venue” just in time for a pandemic to make people stay home.

They’re dead.  Sorry Reggie.

This isn’t a tip, this is an ad.

I just sort of always did it right. Maybe not with all those movements, but I covered what needs covering. The trick is lather the heck up without putting your hands in the water until it’s time to rinse.

No one should ever “dry with a single towel”.  The towels they put in public restrooms seem to be specially…

Oh, well then good news.  That runs just fine on Windows.  That super expensive line is.... definitely not for the home market, which is where they’re bowing out from as far as desktop computers go.

Got it, I’ll only recommend best selling summer blockbuster movies to you if you ever ask. No cult classics, they’re not your thing.

Good luck there, because Apple is killing off their desktop line soon enough from the looks of things.

It’s okay though, because there’s plenty of professional video editing software that isn’t Final Cut Pro, and PC hardware is more than up to that task.  The myth that Macs “do graphics better” hasn’t been true since…

Congratulations Sonic the Prower, Sanders is sure to win the Kid’s Choice Awards now.

They DO restore one of a kind items. Your comical example is what happens when that’s done poorly, but one of a kind paintings have been restored by professionals before. Your example is just the reason why amateurs shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near rare works of art.

That’s why you hire a professional, and no they are not the same thing but the article I linked specified they do BOTH of these things.  And yes, you DO know what kind of reaction you’re going to get.  The retrobrite page very specifically describes exactly what the chemical process is.  It’s reversible simply by…
