There were definitely a few shrine puzzles where I screwed up aiming a Stasis launch, and waiting around for it to come off cooldown was a bummer.

Wonderful news! Now if only someone would pick up The Exorcist....

You may note that the 7 million figure was for Rise of the Tomb Raider, not Tomb Raider.

Someone over on IO9 was claiming that Hulu, at least, was bidding on the show against Netflix and Smazon. I don’t know if it’s true - a quick search of Twitter, where they claimed to have seen the news didn’t turn anything up - but I choose to hope.

You know what, genuinely good on him. Here’s a guy who seems to legitimately be trying to be a better person and, maybe a better role model for the kids watching him. Hopefully he’s able to do it, because I speak from experience when I say it can be hard to unlearn the habits of a lifetime, especially with something…

Oh man, thanks for nailing the annoyance that is Bungie communications. I legitimately have no idea why they think all the cute obfuscation and evasiveness is in any way good. Teases are fun when you also give real information. When all you ever do is tease, it gets old real quick.

I played more hours on Destiny 1 than I really want to think about - I did every raid on Hard Mode, had every (non-PS exclusive) exotic, had max Grimoire score, etc. I was psyched for Destiny 2, and bought the digital deluxe edition.

Gain Ground on Switch?

There is no way that Burger King thing is legit. The sheer amount of work and effort required to swap oil from one fryer to another (not to mention the risk of an employee burning themselves) makes this a non-starter.

I think a Majora’s Mask-esque sequel is a strong possibility - same systems and foundation, but doing new things with them in a shorted development schedule thanks to reusing technology.

Yeah, but I don’t think the second one is out on consoles yet, and I’m not buying any (more) games until I beat a few of the ones I already own.

I grabbed Vermintide 1 when it was free through Games with Gold a while back and finally tried playing it.

Thirteen Ghosts is one of my top guilty pleasures. I may go rewatch it again tonight.

Let me introduce you to the New 3DS, which has DKC2 in its eshop.

Also, not going to lie, I would buy every one of the HD rereleases Tim suggests there at the end (maybe not Link Between Worlds, which I enjoyed, but not quite enough to buy again).

My copy should be waiting for me when I get home from work today. Should be fun!

Rosebud was Luke’s father.

It’s just a more violent version of something that happens literally every day in real life - people have kids, grow old, die, and those children inherit the world for their own and continue the cycle. It’s that, but on a species rather than generational level.

I think that your bit about the Turing Test is important - a lot of these discussions kind of assume absolute knowledge of the subject. But realistically, how certain would we ever be about whether an artificial intelligence was sentient or just really good at simulating sentience? Absent the kind of god-like…

I can watch that second gif all day. The jaws going crazy is great, but it’s the tail deflating that gets me each time.
