What about Aviary Attorney?

The Alvin story is maybe my favorite story they told, albeit being a little beat for beat the Ciri story from the books (subbing in Triss for Yen)

Some people (waves) thought the game's positives outweighed the very obvious negatives. 

Re: Andromeda’s gameplay: I had serious reservations about ME2's changes from 1 because I thought they dumbed the stuff down. So pointing out that Andromeda was the same combat is not really helping its cause.

Eh, EA owned it when they released Mass Effect and origins. I think the quote in the article is indicative of the larger problem (dumbing the gameplay down)

What’s funny is I read the quote and immediately thought it clearly lead to the bad design choices in DA2, which I always viewed as the beginning of the end for BioWare (at the time I thought it was merely a misstep obviously. It wasn’t until Mass Effect 3 and DA3 I realized the issue was terminal). The fact that it’s…

It’s pretty good handle, to be fair

If no one has ever given you a have, maybe consider that a sign that you need to improve as a person since apparently people don't like you enough to give gifts

My saving grace is my partner spends more on her pets (although I’m not sure a horse is a “pet”) every month than I could possibly spend on gaming absent a new console/computer purchase.

Bloodbourne and Witcher 3 are wildly different games though. There’s probably more writing in the prologue of Witcher 3 than in the entirety of Bloodbourne. I sure don’t begrudge people liking Bloodbourne better; it’s a great game. But writing a branching storyline v a more traditional one requires some sacrifices.…

I love RDR2 and it’s one of my favorite games ever, but I 100% agree that replaying the prologue sucks.

I paused the show about 45 minutes in and asked my girlfriend (who knows nothing about Witcher) if she understood what was going on. She thought Renfri was Ciri’s mom because she was a princess and why else would she be in that episode? That was a fair reading frankly of what the show had shown so far. It’s stuff like…

I always think “Don’t they have anything better to do?” but then I think about how much time I waste without having anything this tangible to show for it.

The reveal that Cavill is super into the Witcher and Total War: Warhammer II really has caught me off guard

Oh, I know! Your reviews got me to buy the game (technically, the re-review). I just enjoyed reading them and love the game. Hence my “Oooh, has it come to this again?!” excitement.

Not ashamed to admit that I thought this was going to be a *definitive* Crusader Kings II review and that I was a little disappointed to see it was about a board game.

The Jedi aren’t supposed to marry or have children. So most of the people in the Jedi Academy wouldn’t have Jedi parents. That’s part of what makes Luke/Leia special/unusual: they have a parent who was a Jedi.

Standing above the bed of your nephew with a deadly and fantasizing about killing him is not a “moment of weakness” most people would ever have and is an unforgivable character assassination of Luke.

And that person was Vader, who was born when there's lots of Jedi. And yes Vader is the fulfilment. 

Except that Obi-Wan tells Luke in the very first movie about how there were more Jedi before Vader hunted them (and then the prequels showing all the Jedi).
