“The whole point of digital for devs/publishers, was to-”

Well, actually, the whole point for devs was... to cut out the publishers. The price-gouging only started happening when the publishers showed up on the developer-created digital distribution platform (and, incidentally, this led to the likes of EA throwing a…

Well, I guess it’s pedantic, because ultimately job titles are rather arbitrary, but... are level designers considered “artists”? One could argue that they *should* be...

Of course, it’s possible that the correct application of collision data falls under the purview of the model artists themselves... assuming the wall…

“immature children”

So... toddlers?

“pay an artist to add some collision on a wall”

An interesting concept.

Maybe should have the subtitle:

“No, not that one. The other one.”

Seriously, Americans could do with cutting out all this “We invented everything” attitude (and it does extend to the black people in America) - America is a colony. Everything it has, came from somewhere else.

And while we like to go on about things that were stolen from somebody else, I swear, it’s like nobody in…

I get the impression that this particular Black Panther would need to do the old Star Trek: TNG uniform-tug on a regular basis.

Pretty much.

I mean, a guy with a big shield, wearing chainmail and rushing at you with... a hammer or something? He’s really not going to care how long your sword is, or wait for you to carefully position your sword so that he can’t see how long it is.

Eeeh... except lighting conditions (and sources) would be a big factor, and you would have to have already drawn and positioned your weapon before your opponent ever saw you (otherwise they’ve already seen the length of the weapon), and even *then* you’d have to be sure that you didn’t move and that you’d found the…

You should get some mods for the game.

Personally, I found a mod that adds an interface allowing you to apply oils without going to the inventory screen an absolute sanity-saver.

As was a mod that let me finally jump when in shallow water (there’s an island in Skellige that has a docks area where, if you foolishly park…

“But for all the mountaintop battles and magic powers, the best fights in the game are the ones where he gets into a ring and uses his fists.”

No, they’re bloody awful. They’re horribly balanced (as this article even demonstrates), their story elements are half-arsed (like the fact that when you’ve deliberately thrown…

“Have people lost the ability to identify narcissistic, self entitled psychopaths on sight?”

Er, yes. Because that’s part of what happens when you *become* narcissistic, self entitled psychopaths; your whole view of the world becomes warped. And we have multiple generations now who really, genuinely have become a bunch…

“The Force Awakens was about the joy of discovering that the legendary stories you grew up on were getting a new chapter.”

Same as the old chapter, but with EXPLOSIONS BY MICHAEL BAY and glib, chattering dialogue full of laboured teenage comedy by... everything post-Buffy.

“The heroes you worshipped as a kid were still…

The biggest missed opportunity with the movie was the setting itself, and its lack of thought.

2000 years ago, a big magical mystical thing happened, and for 2000 years (at least) Orcs and Elves and stuff have been real.

And somehow... history played out pretty much the same, and everything looks pretty much the same.…

Oh yeah, for sure... it’s insane to put yourself through a painful experience, and *then* demand a refund. It’s like complaining there’s a hair in your soup, but consuming all the soup before complaining.

I dunno... those who dislike Warhol might be tempted to say that his work is eminently replaceable. I mean, a number of his pieces were literally copy’n’paste to begin with...

To be fair, I dunno how loud it was at that particular cinema... but when I saw Force Awakens, it was *loud*.

I don’t mean the movie had lots of explosions and a big stirring soundtrack. I mean it was literally just dialed up really loud, so every time someone fired a blaster, it was ear-splitting, and every time…

Not against the rebellion though. If you rebel against the rebellion, it’s like a double negative and you’re actually conforming.

...possibly.

Rather reminds me of this:

Yeah, I don’t get why they’ve been bumping up the volume. When I saw the Force Awakens, I spent half the movie with my jacket packed around my own head to muffle the sound, it was so painful.

The crazy thing was, I’d seen Fury Road before that... and Fury Road, in which a whole crap load of cars explode, was not as…
