100% this. I’m not trying to condone cat abuse, but cat’s are hardy little buggers. I’ve had cats my entire life, and even worked at a cat boarding hotel for a while. I’m positive the cat was fine.

That said, the vodka thing is weird, but, like, considering most people would rather condemn this behavior as opposed to,…

I mean, once you know the beef between Marvel Studios and Marvel TV, specifically between Ike P. and Kevin Feige, it was hard to see the teams ever really lining up. In a way, those had less import than Spider-Man, which wasn’t owned by them at all, just because there was not the same level of creative control in the…

Just think about the Netflix-verse as a What-If.

Ugh, Monk *does* need fixes. I’ve been a Monk main since ARR, so I know the struggle, but Dancer is fun as hell, and won’t get me treated like the red headed step child in raid comps. It just sucks because I really love Monk, and will never not “main” it, but there’s really no compelling reason to. Having a big ol’…

What does Activision have to do with anything?

Well, clearly he IS taking the time to enjoy playing the game, and reveling in the journey. I beat the story a week ago not because I thought it was trash and wanted it out the way, but because normal human beings usually try to consume the media they like quickly when they enjoy it (a book can be a page turner,…

I 100% agree with this take. I love the trust system, and felt it was pretty much a requirement to use them during first playthroughs because of the added bits of lore they bring. It really went a long way in making those characters feel like actual party members (which has been true in story, but less so in practice…

Counterpoint: It takes a village to raise a kid, so if one’s an asshole, it stands to reason the whole village deserves the fire.

That’s the thing, it’s not on a couple levels. One, the players, iirc, are not sponsored, meaning they’re basically just skilled enthusiasts. Two, the fighting game community has long distanced themselves from the umbrella of “e-sports” because it desperately doesn’t want to be the milquetoast, golf clap, boringness…

Eh, excitement and pop offs like these are what keeps the FGC unique, and energetic. I get they may seem raucous, but this wasn’t even that big of a deal, and even more heated pop offs have ended peacefully. There are no golf claps in the FGC, the culture is more akin to battle rapping than it is League of Legends.

Elfen Lied also has a bangin’ OST.

Oh, dude, if you’re serious do I have *FANTASTIC* news for you! Since the release of 2.0 the game was entirely overhauled. It has been super strong, and growing better for years since, from its first expansion now leading up into the third. I don’t want to sound like I’m selling you on anything, but if you’re even…

Clearly the correct answer is, and always has been FF XIV. Except 1.0, I guess, but we don’t talk about 1.0...

Thanks for this. I was pretty sure this genre wasn’t for me, but videos weren’t really illuminating what was going on (granted I didn’t watch them for long), so this article actually helped me realize exactly what’s what. And I’m still sure this genre isn’t for me.

Also, since MOBA’s are a mod as well, wouldn’t this be…

I wound up sneaking into the castle far earlier than I should have, and got a hylian shield. Because I was scared it was going to break before I really needed it at the endgame, I didn’t use it until basically the final fight without realizing I could have used it much sooner.

I can’t take credit for this comment, but it still rings true:

I will never ceased to be amazed by the Democrats’ ability to unhinge their jaw, and eat one of their own whole.

Man, this sucks. The combat could have used some work, but the other gameplay aspects, especially dialogue was ahead of its time, and I don’t think gets enough credit. A lot of Dragon Age, and later Mass Effect’s move from exact quotes in dialogue choices, or binary (Paragon/ Renegade) systems, to a collection of…

Lara is clearly using rubber bullets, because she’d never want to destroy the priceless artifacts she came across in the ancient tombs she raids.

Clearly to each their own, but I have the literal opposite opinion. I feel like fighting games shine brightest at the intermediate level. Where both people know enough to have a gameplan, and an understanding of the meta, but not so high that literally everything is punished, and the mixups are oppressive.

You know, Battlefront actually *was* a really good game for getting over the feeling of being at war. There was always something going on, and a respawn never felt like you were the same guy, just another clone in the army, or nameless rebel. They should really bring those games back... wait... what do you mean they…
