Also worth noting, Kim came around after Kanye broke it down for her in the most self-centered way possible. I appreciate that self-realization (or whatever you want to call it) is super important, possibly the most important that, but fuck me if not getting it somehow invalidates everything else in your life.

The guy from Criminal Intent is the Kingpin? Well, shit.

The Hunter: Primal.

In the last major patch before the game went live, they added a Pterosaur and it totally drops you off a mountain. The first time it happens, it’s honestly terrifying, even in a game.

I just signed in to check, and it seems they wait until the product is available. Also, if you go with them, I suggest looking into their private warehouse feature: https://www.hlj.com/newhlj.html

The other kits are priced at 2,400 yen (I'm guessing it's the gold plating that drives up the price for this one) so it should be more like a nice High Grade.

Should be on HLJ in the near future; they even have a Star Wars banner for all the Bandai stuff. All the existing kits are 20% off on their site, so I doubt you'll see a markup.

I don't think there'll be a 12" version; looking at HLJ (a great place to get almost anything hobby-related from Japan), all the Bandai Star Wars stuff so far comes in only one size. The humans and droids are all 1:12, the planet-based craft (AT-ST and Snowspeeder) are 1:48, and the ships are 1:72.

Interestingly…

You'd have a point if most of those incidents weren't actually the ideas of producers and writers. I believe the only off the cuff racial-ish remark was that one time with the Mexicans, and that was definitely Hammond rather than Clarkson.

Fair enough.

I'm in a similar situation with a desktop that I had built in March or so of '05 that lasted until ~2011; the computer was still viable, but I wanted to upgrade it. Unfortunately, the PSU died on me the other day, but once the replacement is installed she'll last as-is for another two years before I move…

While the software side has definitely become more cumbersome over the years for consoles, I don't think we can really say the same for the hardware side. Personally, I'm consistently amazed at how many people are scared of opening up their own rigs (actual PC gamers with custom machines) and working on them; until…

I think this would be an interesting concept to pursue. Part of the reason why consoles are so appealing is that they just work, building a PC requires a bit of dedication and effort; however, if we went to a plug-and-play style interface, that's no longer an obstacle.

If we're going to talk about Batman knockoffs that don't understand the what and why of Batman, this is the one and only place to start.

I didn't find the faction quests necessarily less involved, although I agree that they were generally less satisfying. Frankly, we came so far down from Morrowind that I just don't see a lot of daylight between Oblivion and Skyrim. There are too few factions, too few tangible effects from being in a faction, and the…

They mentioned porting before, but I think that you can't use the same character in both iterations. Could be wrong though.

With their long lead times, I don't think ES is in any danger of becoming stale; each release has also been profoundly different in terms of mechanics, style and tone.

What worries me is how they'll address accessibility and dynamics in the future. Will the compass and map elements of Skyrim be dialed back further,…

Believe it or not, it used to happen with some frequency. I believe there are still people who'll mention that their introduction to PDS was with a pirated game in posts, but there used to be people who made threads out of it, despite piracy being a banned topic.

Hell, that's exactly how I started with them about four…

Your initial complaint was about paid DLC, and the fact of the matter is that you could have had it for free for little to no effort. Btw, EUIV only 40 dollars, not 50. Even the "extreme" edition was 45, and that's the one piece of content you actually had to pay extra for. It's not a full-price product, it never was.

A…

Actually, a pretty good portion of the Paradox forums are in that camp.

You mean the flavor DLC that didn't actually add any features? You mean the ones they gave away to people who like, signed up all of 10 people to a newsletter or pre-ordered? Yeah, those were really critical to the gaming experience.

There's no demo for Skylines, I wouldn't be surprised if that accounts for a pretty heavy percentage.
