I feel like the tedium comes less from the animations themselves and more from the transitions between animations, and people are just hasty to blame the latter when the real problem is the former. Whenever I loot something, it takes Arthur a second or so just to get into position before the actual animation can play…

At my mom’s workplace there’s an Everquest group still going strong nearly 18 years after it was founded. I heard there was a big feud when Guild Wars 2 came out, but I don't really follow old folk drama.

I’m just glad Apple doesn’t manage our street infrastructure, making the roads steeper and bumpier over time so that only the latest models can handle them :D

Yeah, that was my general reaction as well, that this game was designed primarily to provide escapism, in part my creating a fictionalized version of our world.  And therefore, it shouldn’t be expected to reflect the real problems we are dealing with, even if it uses an actual place for its setting.

I think their point was that it would have added nothing to the story Insomniac chose to tell.  Which I think is correct.

Thank you for this.

Some people took issue with the game’s portrayal of cops and Spider-Man’s relationship to them. Kotaku’s Heather Alexandra critiqued the game’s black and white approach to law enforcement as predominantly unimpeachable good guys and criminals as violent anarchists, but she wasn’t alone. The Ringer, Deadspin, and Dot…

and the worst ones elicit at least a chuckle.

The other reason for moving the car, LaSha told me, was that her husband wanted to show that it could be done after his friend voiced some doubts.

I’ve been enjoying it mostly.  Sort of a light-hearted take on the Arkham City model.  

There are many things I just take for given. Living in a country where people don’t just randomly shoot at your house is one of them. Hope everything works out for the guy, I would freak out if it happened to me.

Holy hell is that impressive.

Come on, give her a break.

Actually… I think I have seen her work before. Once in my life, for a grand total of 30 seconds, while I was editing together a sizzle reel of Ubisoft’s 2016 Just Dance social media marketing campaign so they could submit it to a game marketing awards show. I remember being pretty impressed that anyone could try to…

I’ve never been as stressed in my life as I was when I was first starting out as a completely self-managed independent contractor.

Yes, the way she seemed to be rushing from house to house, not giving anyone time to answer before moving on made me think this was someone being pursued by a serial killer. She’s fine, he’s dead, sounds so much better that what I thought we’d hear next.

I’m too lazy right now to look up and paste a gif of a treadmill, but imagine one here.

This game is so brutal but I can’t stop playing it. I liked FTL but this scratches my advanced wars itch so much I’m having a better time with this.

Having a lot of fun with ITB! Also fuck this fucking game.
