Oh yeah, Decker's got probably the most consistently awesome one-liners, hard-boiled spy that he is. I'm also fond of Shalem's Bondisms ("Best not dirty my suit.") and Sharp's transhumanist psychopathy (after going through the transporter: "Invigorating!"). And, of course, Nika's "…"

I did finish it, and I'd love to hear your theory! It's certainly not the traditional ending of a FPS. (Well, at least the very last bit.)

I think so, yeah! Though if you go Knight Enchanter, you'll be in the middle of the fray. However, Knight Enchanter is also incredibly and hilariously overpowered.

PRECISELY

Mechanics and plot-wise, and without spoilers, the game works best for an Elven Mage. (And, if you're playing a female elf, romancing Solas, heh heh heh heh.)

Fluka mental response to this comment:
"I think Invisible Inc. is the BEST game I've played this year"
Woohoo!
"(not my favorite-"
WUT
"that would be the complicated evocative mess of Dragon Age Inquisition)"

Fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck yeah Invisible Inc fuck

I need to get to the second and third episodes of Borderlands. I really really enjoyed the first one. It felt like it used the Telltale format in some interesting ways, both for unreliable narration and for ridiculous bits of self-parody. They've got the Borderlands "fine line between stupid and clever" sense of

Like Invisible Inc before it, it's at the top of my "Will play it the moment it gets out of Early Access" list.

Y U no on Android, Neko Atsume?!?!
*Googles*
Oh shit, it's on Android. I'm in real fucking trouble here.

Damn it, I don't have time for another brilliant indie game, gnnnneeeh! (Aw, what the hell, it sounds great.)

YES. I really really wanted to love it, and the actual bits of writing were great, but I feel like I spent most of my time going back and forth between the same islands trying to get food and fuel, and then dying, and then repeating again. It just felt like a tedious job after a while.

I was supposed to wait until my time off from work next month to play The Witcher 3, but I started replaying Dragon Age Inquisition instead last weekend. I've made a huge fucking mistake (sleep-loss wise), but I just can't stop myself.

Brock Sampson is a *fantastic* point of reference for Geralt of Rivia.

A mix of both is really ideal. I started laughing in Pillars of Eternity earlier this year when it became apparent that every. single. decision. would be some kind of complicated moral bind where you were damned if you do and damned if you don't. It feels just as artificial as "help an old lady vs. kill a puppy."

Haven't played TW3 yet, but based on my own experience with TW2 and people's comments about the third game, I will say that Geralt gradually becomes a more palatable protagonist, with his stoic grumpiness a bit more subtle and even mined for humor. I tried TW1 this year and found it a lot crappier than TW2, and a

Best new game I've played this year is Invisible Inc.. It's one of the tightest games I've ever played, with all of the mechanics working together perfectly and efficiently to create some of the most exciting moments I've ever had in gaming, all of them unscripted. You feel like a goddamn smooth spy when you play

That Tomb Raider shot luge looks almost-but-not-quite erotic, and it's making me slightly uncomfortable.

“And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you
I will show you fear in a fucking giant Panzerhund."

The host tried, he really did, but there's only so much you can do talking with a bunch of underdressed white guys about their games with no gameplay footage for that amount of time.
