What post-release patches didn’t it carry? DS:R is the definitive way to play DS1. Even on PC.

DS1 was never optimized to begin with. It’s hard to port a game that barely ran on any native system (DSFix notwithstanding) and make it look spectacular.

A single A-Wing destroys a Super Star Destroyer. The Millennium Falcon almost single handedly destroys the second Death star fifteen times larger than the first one. Both of these happen in Return of Jedi. Lucas never gave a shit about internal consistency if he could sell a fucking toy. The hyperspace explosion isn't…

Hey, anyone want to hear a pitch for an animated series about Kyoshi’s upbringing that will never happen and is probably full of ambitious lame-ass fanfic ideas that would appeal to a tiny minorty of niche fans the way these things tend to do because it would be a passion project borne out of unique ideas for this…

IIRC Avatar Yangchen did some spectacular spirit stuff that made the world super peaceful until the Fire Nation attacked almost a thousand years later, and the world was so chill that Avatar Kuruk was literally so much of a hippie that all the biggest problems of his era were completely his doing. He’s generally…

Yeah, when people say “Foundation” they really mean “the second half of ‘Foundation & Empire’” because let’s not kid ourselves, that’s the only part that’s really any good (or at least, better than “slightly clever” which is basically how you can describe Asimov’s entire library) but that quality is entirely because…

Your childhood is an old geezer writing 50% of the population out of most of his stories? Dude. You need a better fucking childhood.

Meh. That’s not the end of the world. I’ve always imagined the Imperial judge that exiled Seldon was Asian for some bizarre reason.

Well, apparently there _are_ hamsters that are 3 feet tall - see Hammond, who is 3 foot tall. According to the _groundbreaking_ revelations unveiled in these conversations, we have discovered something truly enlightening about the nature of ‘size;’ Hammond the hamster is, I suppose, hamster sized - as he is, in fact,…

It will work *great.* 3 foot is *not* average human height. We have words for the conditions that affect those people.

Fantastic covers. Troubling that the photographer never bothered to read the books.

Calling it now. They’re going to destroy the timeline and start with the second half of Foundation & Empire, make Bayta the main character, and make Hardin, Mallow, and... the other interchangeable characters that I’m sure had very impressive names, all secondary characters with their own arcs parallel to her broader…

If Halo CE’s PvP ever got a legitimate sequel I guarantee you it would occupy that same bizarre niche that Dark Souls PvP does. They’re both thoughtful, deliberately paced, full of arcane mechanics and crazy high skill caps. I’d liken CE to a game of high speed first person chess. If it ever *actually* got a remaster…

No ex-Bungie staff stuck around. Frank O’Connor is the only Bungie staff that worked for 343, but these are teams of hundreds and O’Connor wasn’t even a dev - he was a community manager.

Lol you’re right. CoD players aren’t playing Halo 5. You sure showed him.

Halo CE’s multiplayer has aged beautifully when it’s in the hands of modders who know wtf they’re doing - therefore expressively *NOT* 343.

Bullshit. That is one A-wing destroying an unshielded Super Star Destroyer. Or maybe I should ask why the Galactic Empire wasn’t totally staffed by Ewoks seeing as they are the true supreme life forms of this galaxy? Or maybe we should analyze the “poetry; it rhymes” moment when a ditzy child conveniently murders an…

As awful as it is, there is some *accidental* mechanic/thematic parallel between the shittiness of The Chaos Flame and the shittiness of the Bed of Chaos.

No you don’t. It’s self evident damn it. Johnson is hardly more of a hack than Lucas has been for 41 years. If you hate logical inconsistencies, then RotJ is the worst in the series. If you hate unlikable, nonsensible characters, then the Prequels are the worst things ever. If character assassination makes you angry,…
