Dragon Age 2 is from the start a narrative about like whether or not you should still try to make things better through sort of RPG style heroism when the world’s institutions are all stacked against you. Hawke fails in every chapter, she tries to save her family from poverty by going on an adventure and in the end

Yeah, it’s still there. Why Ubisoft sticks to the lame Animus framing is unbelievable, it always rips you out of the game and environment that they’ve worked so hard to make immersive, subverting the game. It always pisses me off whenever it happens, because they usually force you to go through some current-day scene

Sealed is a fickle mistress — prerelease sealed especially thanks to the extra rare everyone gets — but I had fun despite having one of my poorer performances overall (4-0, 0-3, 2-1, and 1-2 drop). The Priates/Dinosaurs/Merfolk/Vampires thing really calls back the fun of the first Innistrad and it’s various monster

Step 1: disallow images. Step 2: eliminate grays. Step 3: bask in people’s admiration.

God, that whole plot line was so contrived. WHAT THE FVCK WAS THE POINT OF THE ARYA vs SANSA SCENE FROM LAST WEEK? Why did they have a fight? Was Littlefinger ALWAYS watching them? I hate it so so so so so so so much.

In particular:

This layout is so inefficient. Not even 24 hours after this post was posted, I had to scroll through five fucking pages to find it. Also, I always logged in to Disqus through facebook. I also had a still-greyed kinja account. When I follow the instructions above, it just loops me back into my kinja account. I want

Ok so I got to keep my name and avatar and lost all my posting history. I also have no idea what grays are or what the point of the Kinjamprove button is. I humbly apologise to everyone here that warned of the apocalypse and that I thought was just being a bit sooky. (You maniacs, you blew it up etc)

Fuck you AV Club. This migration was awful. To say that the Kinja comments functionality leaves a little to be desired would be like saying that the Challenger space shuttle launch went a ‘little’ bit wrong.

And oh joy, clicking through ‘Load More Comments’ for another 500 times to get where I was.

You’re welcome! I don’t want to be a dick to anyone who sees this and needs a link, so here it is for others:

Is anyone else experiencing a bug where you try to star someone’s comment, but instead it just takes you right to the top of the page without even starring the comment?

So.. what happened to that whole “Old comments will be ported over” thing, because right now there’s a whole bunch of nothing when I look up old posts?

My name is “taken”? By whom, another person who likes Anglo Saxon poetry who is on Kinja? Or am I confused by the sign in procedure? It can be two things?

It’s going to be fun seeing how pissed off everyone is about how shitty Kinja is. Disqus wasn’t perfect, but it worked. I get why the change is being made, but Kinja SUCKS. I hated it when Gawker implemented it and hate it now, much like most everyone else on here. AV Club is probably about to see a drop in traffic

Well, I think we should all congratulate Sean on pulling off this smooth and popular transition with exactly the result everyone wanted!

This is not in any way an improvement... I mean... I know y’all have to say that. You have jobs you’d like to keep.

Hey guys! I really don’t like the change. I know it’s new but I pretty much loathe the site’s design now. Does anyone have any recommendations (other than the avocado) for sites like old AV Club? Love to see some of you there.

What an…incorrect assessment. I mean, okay the nostalgia was fun at times—I admit I grinned after I was blindsided by a Cowboy Bebop reference and I liked the implementation of the Voight-Kampff test—but it was laid on far too thick and without any purpose. The main character flies a Delorean/Knight Rider/Ghostbusters
