Not at all, I know he can, I’ve seen it...I just don’t trust anyone involved in this production to show that side of the character.

I love how everyone is fawning over Mazin because he wrote Chernobyl...but no one either knows or remembers that everything he wrote previous to that was hot garbage. Not that I entirely blame him for those, when you’re a screenwriter you take the work you can get, but he’s been a working screenwriter for nearly 25…

Nope, sorry, this is BAD casting.

I love Jack, no question about that, but this just smacks of the production not even remotely understanding the character they’re casting for.

Every ounce of Claptraps bravado is a front for a character that devastatingly sad and emotionally broken. People don’t love Claptrap because…

You may be right about how it went down, I’ve more or less erased it from memory so I may be misremembering the details, but the point still stands that all of it sucked.

Like I said originally, though, that would be bad enough...but Ava then spends the rest of the game being a total asshole to a powerless Lilith and…

Here’s the problem with that scene...not only is it entirely contrived, manufactured drama for the same of drama that adds absolutely nothing to the overall narrative, but it’s completely unnecessary and makes zero sense within the internal logic of the story.

Maya lets herself get dusted to save Ava...which would be…

Close, but wrong universe. Metahumans are the name for anyone with powers in the DC Universe. Hmm, that makes me think the name could change, because WB almost certainly owns the trademark for “Metahuman”.

I wish I gave a shit about any of this, I really do, but BL3 is the worst good game I’ve ever played. The moment to moment gameplay and various systems are fucking phenomenal, but I absolutely loathe everything related to the narrative and treatment of its characters.

I dropped $100 on the ultimate edition because of…

Fuck that.

Ava got Maya killed in the single most forced and entirely unnecessary narrative beat in a game full of lazy, character-breaking narrative concessions. Worst of all, she learns no lessons about her selfish behavior, suffers no consequences whatsoever, and spends the entire rest of the game talking shit to…

Saw these making the rounds earlier and, while it is absolutely impressive as hell and a substantial leap forward in creating believably realistic humans in video games, something still struck me as being off...

It’s the mouths, how the mouth movements affect the rest of the facial muscles. I don’t know if the examples…

This...10000000000000000x this.

We cannot remotely judge, even on a surface level, an entire 12 week season based on a scant few hours of the first day.

Of course it seems good now, it’s fresh...come back in a few weeks when everyone is bored or angry, then tell me how it seems.

This woman is, reportedly, a teacher...let that sink in...

Jesus...she raises $10k in a week to try and correct stupidity, and I can’t raise even half that in 5 months to fix my busted ass teeth that genetics have cursed me with for 40 years...ugh...

Oh, for sure, but I also think it became apparent to them rather quickly that the version of Anthem they launched wasn’t worth “fixing” in the sense of patching and new content drops, and in order for the game to have any kind of continued life or redemption it would all have the be radically overhauled nearly from…

There was an update back in October.

Regardless, I don’t necessarily think the lack updates is a signal to either Bioware or EAs commitment to Anthem, I think it’s more a matter of there being SO MUCH to fix and/or overhaul that it’s just taken this long to figure out if fixing/overhauling Anthem would even be worth…

I don’t have any tattoos (yet), but I did very seriously think about getting the Borderlands Vault symbol before Borderlands 3 dropped...and I’m incredibly happy that I didn’t because I fucking loathe BL3 and it essentially killed every bit of enthusiasm I had for the series.

I do want to get a Metroid tattoo,…

One of my little joys in life is seeing more recent interviews with Trent where he’s smiling, making little jokes, and seems genuinely happy. Getting sober, married, and having kids seems to have done a world of difference for his general demeanor.

They worked together a substantial amount, but I’ve never taken Trent for someone who really “hangs out”. I’ve always assumed that when Trent was in the studio, regardless of who else was there, he was working. When he was on the road, if he wasn’t on-stage, he was in his dressing room alone or on the bus alone. Even…

As soon as I saw the news I was hoping Randy would take the money and fuck right off to his wizard den or whatever...alas, it seems we’re stuck with him, which I’m sure everyone is just thrilled about...

Important to keep in mind that these are remasters, not remakes. Improved textures, lighting, somewhat updated controls, etc., but they’re more or less the same games, not total from-the-ground-up overhauls. I’d expect a better experience than the originals, but nothing transformative.

It’s horseshit and, as someone on twitter pointed, out Stadia runs on Linux, which they’ve NEVER done for anything before...SEGA may not even have bothered to port it to Windows yet.

I’m sure Google paid them well enough, but unless it was an unreasonable amount, there’s no way it was more than they have made on Steam.…
