KOTOR 2 is a magnificent game which suffers from a mightily curtailed ending (they ran out of time). If you can get past that or play with the restored content mod then it’s a classic.

How did I manage to go so long without realizing that Christopher Lee played the Comte de Rochefort in those movies!?

And played by basically the only actor who managed to look like he had a distinct fencing style in a series of movies that are in large part about sword fighting.

Dove always comes off like their slogan is “Beauty comes from within, but if you ever want to work on the important kind of beauty we’ve got an exfoliating scrub that might help with that fucking complexion.”

For sure! I think it’s conceptually interesting and I really appreciate that people are trying it. I just also think that it’s still in a place where the shine wears off after a few hours.

I’m not terribly convinced by this? Renowned Explorerers used a similar system with emotional state management and offense through charm, violence, and emotional attacks, but at the end of the day it never managed to prevent a compelling argument that the emotional options were meaningfully different from simple…

Like what, the Protheans were just too stupid to think of putting a big ass FTL drive on a ship and sailing for the next galaxy over? And the cycle before that, and the cycle before that, and on and on?

A big part of my problem with this is how hard it undercuts the premises of the original trilogy. The reapers are wiping out life in the galaxy to prevent people developing so far that they annihilate the possibility of life, but it turns out they were only doing it to one galaxy, and the tech level they allow to…

It really feels like they handed someone a binder labeled “Mass Effect Design Notes” with all of the petty details and none of the larger ethos and then that person read it and tried to make a Mass Effect game.

Does anyone else feel like 2006 has awoken and is coming for us all like some kind of vengeful elder god?

They’re all up for re-election in 2018, it’s the House.

So I’be never actually watched Cash Cab but pandora started throwing some of his standup into one of my comedy stations and some of his bits involve about the most bizarrely sweet standup I’ve ever heard. I’m a weirdly huge fan.

What a weird misspelling of Genital Jousting.

I just want everyone at kotaku who’s been covering nifty games available on mobile to know that you’re collectively RUINING my productivity at work.

It’s much easier to trigger the detonation of a device you’re holding in your hands than one sitting in an unknown part of a completely different room. It would require either a radio receiver or some kind of timer mechanism. Both take up valuable payload space, are less reliable, and likely increase the chances of…

The fuck did I just watch?

I’m just at the point where I feel like Bioware and I aren’t looking for the same things in storytelling anymore. I bought andromeda because I have friends OBSESSED with the ME3 multiplayer but I doubt I’m going to launch the campaign.

No?

Oh! I think I know a guy!
