Same. This reminded me of some great work-with-what-you-have tricks in the Fallout games, too, like the train that’s actually a giant hat on an NPC’s head, or the Ron the Narrator NPC in New Vegas that you never see under normal conditions, but who’s lurking just over your shoulder to deliver dialogue to you. Games:…

Me for a second: “But you put 1 on every single li... oh. Yeah, I see what you did there.”

All of whom were producing stuff for Sony to begin with, so it’s not like it was much of a change.

*stage whisper* just keep your PS4

Yeah, you can buy a standalone Blu-ray player (obviously not for games, but still) from Sony for about $70.

It’s not only that. It’s the fact that, no matter how subtle or severe the situation, NO MATTER WHAT I DO, I will get punished.

My inability to read THPS without turning it into RHPS in my head is making me imagine a very different sort of game.

You’re asking this of a comic book story, where this is what they do to characters (including Cap, famously; there was literally a series CALLED “The Death of Captain America”) ALL. THE. TIME.

I’m suddenly flashing back to dealing with DA:O and DA2 on my Mac, which was...an adventure. (2 was supposed to work on Macs, but it ran better on the Windows install I had on the same machine, as I recall. I did a lot of flipping back and forth to compare.)

Nice!

And since you put that mental image in my head, here’s a pumpkin wielding a shawzin instead. You’re welcome.

It absolutely floored me when I first hit that mission. I’m pretty sure I shrieked aloud when the character creator popped up. Sure, I had my suspicions about what was really behind the warframes, but I was not expecting that to happen that far into the game.

The sofa’s still cheap. It’s the gold-plated, diamond-encrusted Allen wrench that’s the problem.

There’s a point where protestations like that make him sound like the sort of tiresome, self-labeled literary writer who doesn’t want to be seen as doing genre, because oh god no, I don’t write trash, I take these concepts and elevate them, so come look at how profound and innovative I am (while I rip off more…

Mr. Rogers just won’t stop jumping on the couch.

Oh, and one more fave: the Area X theme from Rez.

Oh, that’s a nice one.

That he was. Grew up to be the father of the character he played first time around. :)

Oh, the servers are still flaky as hell. My first time out tonight (on PS4, fwiw), I got through four rounds, I think, and then...disconnected. I started another game, and after the first round...disconnected. So be forewarned. I’m hoping after the first few days, this will start settling out.

Yep. Start with Tangled: Before Ever After, the hour-long special that starts it off, and then jump into the series. It’s worth it.
