What if the whole thing is a fishing expedition?

The folks who make Lancer just released the playtest rules for their fantasy equivalent: Icon. It plays very similarly, but in a fantasy-punk world, and contains a lot of fun allusions to Final Fantasy, including giving characters limit breaks. All the different classes seem like allusions to different fantasy…

New and interesting games are all well and good, but you can barely give someone a primer on a campaign world and expect them pay attention to it. These worlds maintain such a high population of players because you only need a basic passing knowledge of what generic fantasy is, and you can roll up a character.

My favorite part of this super weird comment is the implication that Americans never threaten to sue for frivolous/selfish reasons. The American legal system - famous for its lack of self-serving absurdity!

It’s a true testament to the Team 4Star guys that most people only will ever reference their version over the original.

“And a Kame and a Hame and a send him home to mommy!” :D

We bash the prequels because the prequels were bad.

I think the Speed Racer movie was honestly better than the show.

They weren’t pushed to release it early, they set the original release date themselves, and then pushed it back almost a year. This was solely on CDPR’s management.

“One thing we had to cut from the film that sometimes I’m like ‘oh, I wish we didn’t!’ is that we find out why Rick Flag is in that group,” Gunn explained. “We see a flashback where Rick Flag makes fun of Amanda Waller’s shirt. It’s this really ugly shirt with all these different colors on it, and he says, ‘It looks…

AvClub tends to be joyless and forget that movies are supposed to be enjoyable. It’s movie reviews by people that have watched so many movies that they can only see the technical pieces and not the whole.

Sorry, Ryan. COVID got a do-over. I’ll catch it when I can watch it at home. But I definitely will, though. Seems like a hoot.

You could certainly be confused in fall of 2013. Bill Cosby’s fall from grace happened at the end of 2014 (prompted by a Hannibal Buress clip going viral, of all things). Bill Cosby was still putting out comedy specials at the end of 2013 and generally thought of as an adorable elderly figure, going on the talk show…

Sadly, they’ll just cash out and keep their heads down for a while until one of their fellow bros at another company offers them a new gig.

Unfortunately, that’s how company culture works. When a new person joins a company and they see something is wrong, and they push against that, mid/upper management will usually string them along, creating this futile effort. Eventually, people realize that nothing will be done and become part of the same machine they…

One of them was called “gay chicken” where “the first man to grab the others’ junk won,”

little known fact that galactus eats wallets as well as planets

I’m a heavy magic the gathering player and yeah signatures tend to LOWER the value of cards rather than raise them. this is because there are only a certain number of pristine examples printed and every time you get a card signed or the card gets damaged that number of pristine cards goes down. If you buy and sell tcg…

Do you really think there will be “Switch Oled” exclusives?   Unless there’s something they haven’t told us yet, i can’t see any game really be exclusive to the new model.

Jeff Kaplan, I gotta say, that’s some good timing on leaving as game director. I hope it was over some shit like this. If you knew about it and didn’t say anything, or took part it in, Jeff, I’m so disappointed in you :(

Who knows, but I love you jeff, I love you dad
