Shout out to the voice actors too for making the characters seem so real. One of my favourite things about Bayek is how well he gets along with children. You see it in the temple of Sekhmet on Lake Mareotis, his interactions with Reda, and when Hotephres and Khenut’s arc comes along in Faiyum it really gives scope to…

It’s smaller than the gaping Bacterian-sized hole.

I’d love to finish the extra content on this now that I’ve finished the story, but I’m a bit burned out on infiltrating forts.

I finished Origins’ main story this week, having missed out on Unity and Syndicate. While I loved the world and liked the story and characters, I felt the switch to a leveled system was unnecessary and by the third act had tired of the fact that EVERY quest involves you infiltrating some fort for murder or rescue. I…

I feel like there’s a whole system of etiquette that servers have but is unknown to customers in general. Have you thought about publishing a book?

My partner and I played Strip-Soulcalibur once. That was excessively fun, and made the fights a bit more competitive I think.

This is one of the things Andromeda does brilliantly. I’ve never thought the game deserved all the crap it got, evidenced I suppose by the 300 hours Origin says I’ve put into it. Sure there’s only one new species to interact with outside the disappointingly-generic kett baddies, but Andromeda successfully captured one…

I was leaning towards the one on the right being real at first based on the creases in the bodysuit, but examination of the bone structure of the shoulder, skin detail and the background (which shows off the artificial lighting and shadows) changed my mind. Damn good stuff by both parties.

Ran out of reasons to stick with Chrome a couple of years ago; it’s been Firefox ever since. Aside from the functional benefits, it’s kinda nice to have a browser that isn’t provided by a data-gobbling megacorporation.

Amazing visual design is just one facet of a memorable character. Luke citing the example of Final Fantasy XV is a good one, because while those characters are not visually striking they do have pretty distinct personalities. I might have enjoyed Armoured-Gorilla-Arms Gladiolus, or Purple-Hot-Pants-And-Thigh-Highs…

I like to think Rey’s mundane origin was the writers thumbing their noses at the incessant fan theorycrafting that goes on in films and TV these days. I feel like in TFA they wanted to convey that it was something heavy on Rey’s mind, but didn’t anticipate the public reaction and particularly relished slamming the…

This is a good weekend, as my lovely wife saw fit to buy me a PS4 for Christmas (and a Pro at that). That means I’m alternately coursing my way through a few things I haven’t been able to try without one; namely Horizon Zero Dawn, Assassin’s Creed Origins and the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.

Amateurish. The DX version of Link’s Awakening had a dark grey cartridge.

From what I understand (and I am in no way an expert) STD screening is a bit more lax in male/male gay porn than it is in male/female porn, perhaps owing to the tendency to use condoms in gay porn (again, I have no citations for this, happy to be corrected). If such an actor does straight porn (in which condom use is…

Are you kidding? I’m obviously not talking about his grammar or his accent.

Dallying with my third Wild Hunt playthrough, a bit of Pokemon Ultra Sun, and Battlefield 1. Would be playing Destiny 2, but after a month and a bit I seem to have been locked out of what endgame content there was. Might be time to hit ME3 multiplayer again. I need a new thing!

Wow this guy sounds like a moron. Shame, I liked Brothers.

Given the success of competitive fighters in recent years, though, I wouldn’t be surprised to see SCVI aim down that route.

You have MGS3 on five different systems and you think porting it to a sixth will make you play it? Face reality, Mr. Hamilton.

Thankfully this isn’t a Battlefront-level cockup. I see nothing untoward in this instance, other than failure to disclose the exact nature of the xp system. Very glad to see they’ve fixed it to face value though.
