I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched a visual representation of the Simpsons joke ‘Super Nintendo Chalmers.. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Yeah, I’m loving Shadow of War despite some flaws I feel it come by honestly. And I know every moment brings me closer to the insane, grindey nonsense of the Shadow Wars, which seem only designed to reward players with $$$. Crushing to think that I can never have a legendary orc roster without money or time-cosuming…

I hear broken vagina and I refuse to clarify or further research the story. That’s what heroes do!

kids, man, kids...

Not to mention just making a lot of shit up to protect Trump.

They assume it doesn’t affect them, and since this is just the way America is now, they might as well suck up to the new master race.

‘Pissed off but also terrified’ might describe people’s response better. Can’t wait to see the treacly write-up next year when this guy’s a colonel and rounding up people for death camps.

I feel sad sometimes that (IMHO) the great age of JRPGs has ended. Western games really have the edge, and, while I love what they bring, I sometimes miss the good ‘ol days. Finally playing Dark Souls has been a great experience to bring back some of that feeling.

Loving your write-ups, btw. Beyond just going down the nostalgia hole, you’re really highlighting what made the greats from this era so special.

Just like Soul Blazer and Illusions of Gaia before it, this was a beautiful, unique game brimming with wisdom, spirit, and respect for all life. I love these games, and there’s never been anything quite like them afterwards.

Shadow of War. DGAF, it’s fun!

Jen’s the shooter right? It seems pretty obvious.

Ditto. I can’t even say how many time my gf and I have rewatched it. Pairs well with Dewey Cox!

You had me at ‘internal ramp’.

Love this guy. Seriously. Iron Bull can suck it, I took ‘ol Dready with me everywhere and spent more time sucking up to him than anyone else in any Bioware game. And y’know what? The moment I fired the game up and saw that egghead coming out of nowhere I thought “Oh shit, this guy is definitely the Dread Wolf…

Fair statement, tho I think we can all say the expectations of the fanbase are also creating issues. R&M is great but it’s no American Dad. (Come at me, internet)

Heck yeah! Waiting to see if Frostfall gets fixed on consoles somehow, but concerned it won’t. Also, Tarshana is working on a big quest mod and Immersive Creatures might come out some day soonish. So, the waiting is killing me, but I’ve gone six years without going any further than the horn of Juergen Windcaller, so…

I don’t know! The Dark Souls 3 DLC is annoyingly hard, and the Skyrim CC update borked Frostfall (an interesting story, btw, surprised it hasn’t been covered here). Waiting for Black Friday for either Shadow of War or Fallout. So I got nothing! Maybe replay me some Witcher.

Any protips on putting together a Steven Seagal costume, cuz I’m kinda obsessed now...

Tolkien would absolutely hate and condemn it, if for nothing else than it’s a video game. He’d condemn the movies too, and complain constantly about this ‘rap’ all the kids seem to be listening to.
