Lemon curd is the best! You’re spending your time wisely.

Can we talk about how Baby Yoda just stood there sipping his tea while like 100 different dudes have tried to kill Mando, but 30 seconds into a friendly arm wrestling match he’s like “This bitch needs to die”.

Echo sounds awesome, and it’s one I completely missed. I’ll definitely have to track it down. 

Sleeping Dogs was so great! And the martial arts melee combat was really well done. The gunplay was only “ok” as I recall, pretty standard, but it wasn’t bad by any means. It was really solid and I’m bummed Ubisoft (I think it was Ubi?) never went anywhere else with the franchise. 

Batista, I always enjoy your comments and agree with about 99% of what you say, but I can’t get with you on this. I think they did a great job with the full immersion. I went to GE in Orlando in early November and the experience was fantastic. I think there’s a dedicated enough Star Wars fanbase to make something like…

All those words and you still couldn’t offer any justification for Kotick (or any CEO) being paid that much. 

Yeah, I enjoyed Pitch 2, but nobody thinks it’s as good as the first one, or the 3rd. And it kills me to say it, because I’m a really big fan of Elizabeth Banks. I was hoping this Charlie’s Angels reboot would have something to it, just for her sake, but it doesn’t look like it. 

I’m not a super big fan of it, but I just deal with it and move on. Listen politely to the song, which takes like 30 seconds, and then eat the cake or whatever. There’s a lot of people in this thread who seem to have really visceral reactions to it. And I get it, I know social anxiety is a bitch even though I don’t…

It’s definitely a well-known older movie, but I think most of the hype is around all the Pixar/Marvel/Star Wars stuff, so anything outside the current mainstream probably counts as a deep cut. 

Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been sick for a few days. You make some very good points, and I think this largely boils down to what we consider an RPG to actually BE. You’re absolutely right that Wild Hunt is less a sandbox where you ran really define what you want the character to be, and more a focused narrative…

I’m not sure how you get to Undertale as the only competitor for best RPG of this generation. Undertale was fine for what it was, but you’re not doing it any favors by comparing it to something like Wild Hunt or any of the other fantastics RPGs of this generation (Persona 5, Divinity: Original Sin (both of them), I’ll…

The combat is far superior to Skyrim. It’s much tighter. I love the Elder Scrolls series and have put hundreds of hours into them from Morrowind on up. But the appeal of those games are the ability to wander and explore and kind of screw around in a sandbox. Witcher 3 is very much an open world game, once you get past…

You’re absolutely entitled to your opinion, and not every game is going to scratch the itch for very gamer, but Heather isn’t wrong when she says Wild Hunt is considered one of the best video games ever made. While ultimately subjective, it’s a pretty universally-held truth. It’s not perfect, no. But it’s really,…

Netflix/Hulu obviously have a ton of content, but this looks like content I would consistently be interested in, unlike 95% of the other services. Original content aside, which both Hulu and Netflix *can* do a good job with, I don’t have much use for a lot of their other stuff. But classic Disney movies, most of the…

You’re getting fucking killed, and I admire your balls for putting all this out here when you knew you would be. I agree with you. I work with a lot of people and have a lot of extended family with opinions that run the gamut from “I slightly disagree” to “that’s fucking abhorrent”. You have to find a way to make it…

Yeah, I have zero issues with Bernie OR Liz winning the primary, and of course I’d vote for either in the general. I’d fucking vote for just about anyone in the general over Trump. But if the apathy of Bernie supporters in the general happens again (if he doesn’t win the primary), I’m going to rage stroke. Like, we…

Right? How does anyone operate under the delusion that she’s supportive of the corporate overlords?

Yeah. Fuck the Patriots and all, there are plenty of reasons to hate them. But nobody can claim with a straight face that they haven’t been a really fucking good football team for damn near 20 years, and have pretty much legit won their SIX GODDAMN SUPERBOWLS.

Really enjoying Apple Arcade so far. Oceanhorn 2 is great, Cat Adventure 2 is surprisingly fun and addictive, Overland and Spaceland have been real treats. I haven’t even had time to touch some of the other games. For an older gamer like me, with kids/job/full life who can’t console game as much as he used to, these…

Right? Fire up Crusader Kings 2 with zero instruction or reference and try to figure out what the fuck is going on. That shit is dense!
