I spent a few hours last night playing (just kinda tired of Festival of The Lost), slowly raising gear score. Haven’t picked up the Underground DLC. Ran the daily missions on World Tier 3. I’m not real sure what to make of it. Enemies still feel like bullet sponges, but perversely the weapons don’t feel like they hit…

Picked this up as a PS+ freebie. The visual style was pretty cool, but there was hardly any meat to it. You had to rely on other people showing up and hope they knew what they were doing.

I’ve seen the episodes so far, and while I’m seeing the parallels they’re trying to draw, it’s vaguely clumsy to me. Having head canon about various NPCs is cool and all, but it’s always a more detailed story (and thus, more interesting to us) because we’ve imbued those characters with our own choice of personality…

That was the episode my brother started watching the series, and pretty sure it was the point where he stopped watching.

I can think of a few that would be good.

It’s the most brutal thing ever! It’s not like regular hate! It’s so much... more black! If she were a street gang, I’d fuckin’ go to war with her with bottles and chains! But this is different! There’s nothing I can do! — “Metalocalypse”

I suppose the real question is whether they would set it during the Dollar Flu outbreak or afterward. A movie covering the First Wave agents and their ultimate failure would be pretty nifty, if it was well written, acted, shot, cut, and scored.

Odd bit of timing on this one. I just finished a “help me! help me!” quest for a settlement reporting it was under attack. I fast travel there, screen fades in from the transition, and HOLY SHIT, SETTLERS ARE SHOOTING AT ME!

True story: I ran into a similar situation writing the review for Diablo III when it first came out for PC. The Armchair Empire used a scoring system, the scores we reported did go up on Metacritic at the time, and there was a giant shitstorm in the comments section after the review went up. Far as I know, it’s still…

Now if they would get rid of this “operating system as a service” idea...

Great. Yet another reason not to trust any dating app, or site, or pretty much anybody that isn’t introduced to you face-to-face by an actual friend who can vouch for the person.

Well, that’s one damned impressive trailer. Part of me hopes they’re not going to parcel factions out like they did with the first two games, but chances are they will. Hoping the Tau get announced.

What were you expecting? Subtlety and discretion? A realistic acknowledgment that Microsoft hardware does not, in fact, have a megalithic presence in the world?

Just like the anime.

Is it bad that every time Marcy opens her mouth, I start launching into Krillin’s “Five Ancient Sages” monologue from Dragon Ball Abridged?

It’s kind of like the PC launch of Diablo III, only they actually managed to fix that problem.

Of course you need an airship, you silly man. Where else are you going to store the flying car?

One of the more recent Batman/Superman stories I enjoyed was “Public Enemies.” Towards the end of the first issue, Superman has been hit with a kryptonite bullet and Batman is trying to remove it, while the two of them are sitting in an open grave, and Metallo is running around looking for them. Probably the best…

All right, I’m just gonna throw it out here, and I’m hoping for a response more thoughtful and insightful than “because Japan.” Why this? Why would somebody think this was a good idea? Etched blades, I can understand. Carved handles, I can understand. But these knives just make no goddamned sense. These cannot…

Your boss is a terrible person who lives a trite existence and needs to be removed from the gene pool for the good of all humanity.
