if only there wasn’t already some sort of choice-based narrative game set in The Walking Dead universe with widespread acclaim...

It says named after “Indiana Jone’s least favorite animal”, not “snake”. Indiana Jone’s least favorite animal is obviously Harrison Ford.

Yes, I was expecting the scientific name to be “Snakes whydidithavetobesnakes” or something like that.

“Harrison For Reacts to New Species Being Named After Indiana Jones’ Least Favorite Animal”

You’re engaging with a different argument though.

That’s not what John is saying. He’s not asking for an “always win” situation. What he’s pointing out is in the tabletop version you can work around your failures, dice rolls in video games take away the actual role playing aspect of role playing games.

not sure if it’s just me but **Buy Steam gift card:** popping up over and over in the review is weird. 

Agreed, most people who don’t look at old Trek through rose colored glasses is having a great time right now. TNG/DS9/Voy was great and all but it also had a lot of bad/dumb episodes due to the 90s production schedules and network bs. I got to help run a major Trek forum during the age of Voyager/Enterprise and the…

YOU SHUT THE F**K UP CLEM FANDANGO AND YOUR MADE UP NAME.

In space no-one can hear you.

It’s also f’ing ridiculous because we gamers bitch all the time about games not being delivered “complete”. Here we have a game and a dev telling us, “Here it is, 100% of the game!” and some of us are like, “Okay, but maybe moar?”

Peter Jackson was known to me as the guy who made Bad Taste and Dead-Alive. Given that most of the people I knew at the time who were excited for Lord of the Rings movies were all massively apprehensive because it was Peter Jackson, purveyor of trash films.

Not related to the main topic here, apologies on that, but they are making a prequel show about the Rats? I mean why? This just seems like utterly random, especially since they haven’t even had enough of a presence on the main show to know how popular or well-received they are.

While im inclined to agree, the changes they made to the witcher definitely haven’t been for the better, overall. Also doesn’t help that as much as I enjoyed S1, it was a confusing mess for the audience

I think it’s more of, people just want it to be good, and that is the way they are latching onto the conversation. I don’t know the books, I’ve played witcher 2 & 3, and I flat out think the show is fine, mid, blah, ok, average. I could see people saying the books are really good and then me going “OH! I wish the show…

I want to know what people mean when they demand creatives “MUST respect the source material” because honestly I reject the idea that anyone adapting a creative works should have to do that. In fact, there’s lots of examples where deviating from source materials have led to better works.

To be fair, that was probably the single funniest line in the entire movie.

This really needs a tag line like: “Sloth is the DEADLIEST sin!”.

I will die defending the 2007 CGI one.  Yeah, the plot lost the thread with all the ancient demons or whatever the were on the loose.  But the performances were top notch, the animation was excellent, and the fight in the rain between Raph and Leo elevates the entire rest of the movie.
