Katie covered it in yesterday's piece: http://www.avclub.com/artic…

I bounced incredibly hard off Tyranny's combat the first time I tried it. I never played Baldur's Gate (and avoided fighting whenever possible in Planescape), so I don't have an inherent grasp of the real-time-with-pause thing. (I'm always going to prefer full turn-based, as with Tides Of Numenera.) My second try, I…

I'll endeavor to do better next season.

Ya caught me! I find the sight and sound of a dog's head being slowly pulled apart unpleasant. Please inform Ms. Gore.

I have now considered it, and can firmly report that dogs trigger a much stronger violence response in me than dinosaurs. I've never hugged a dinosaur.

It wasn't a full interview, just a roundtable that I used for review background. If I have time this week, I'll type up some notes from it and add it to the end of the review, but I can't promise anything.

I think that's a solid one. Reed joked about "racecar drivers," so probably not that. My dream is Future Archer.

Dang, thanks.

Bleh, you're right. I looked them all up, but for some reason my brain insisted April was after September. (I think it went "April comes after September when you think of it in terms of TV seasons!") I might be tired. Thanks for pointing this out, fixing.

Amen.

Heynong Man?

You never know!

Interesting tidbit: Reed said he initially intended to check back in on the "real world" throughout the season, but eventually decided against it because he thought it would lower the stakes inside the dream.

I just got done doing an interview with Adam Reed (more on that in next week's review), but it definitely sounds like "different coma dream"—or at least "different weird genre exercise"—is the plan right now.

Stun gun is your buddy.

The hilarious thing about the "full human" route is that you still develop a ten-foot vertical leap, a crazy health pool, silent, super-fast sprinting, and the ability to rip locked doors open with your bare hands. (Not to mention the ability to functionally freeze time, and guns that can take down a Nightmare in six…

Most of them don't nail the horror elements as well as this one, though. (No demon spiders, though, thank God.)

The quick, dirty, but ultimately pretty accurate line people keep throwing around is that it's functionally System Shock 3.

That Krieger quick cut was good. I think, though, that Poovey is at a 1 and 100 birthday party, the 1 for the baby they're holding, the 100 for them.

It was a group effort from a number of staffers. Please update your insults accordingly.
