Doesn’t knowing how it works make it more fun?

Five years ago I would’ve agreed with you, but Marvel’s indulged in its weird, super comic booky- sci-fi with Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok, and casual audiences ate it up. I fully believe that Marvel is capable of turning its more arcane characters and plot lines into watchable films.

Oh god, the modern movie “bwwwwaarrrrrrrrnnngg” noise...?

Microsoft offers auto-generated Gamertags and they’ve got a “sound” that’s easy to pick out. You get names like OnstageOsprey15 and RockiestBroom35.

Watch Dogs 2's San Francisco is more or less accurate, at least by video game map standards. But things get really weird once you venture to other parts of the map.

Aren’t the exact details of all these licensing deals private, so a lot of that is someone’s best guess?

I think it’s more that they didn’t bother to QA the cheats too thoroughly, which is understandable enough.

The main problem is that it’s permanent. The vast majority of the effect cheats (like flying cars) can be disabled by entering the cheat again. That doesn’t work for pedestrian riot, for whatever reason.

I didn’t realize there were any xkcd strips I hadn’t seen. Thanks for dredging that one up.

Taquerias steam nachos. The fuck are you on?

I’ll wait for the console version that’s been mentioned but not given a release date yet.

I actually took that as implying that the Joker is going to just be mistaken for being the gunman, and that will hasten his mental descent and/or rise to notoriety.

I think it’s generally a good thing, but I have one caveat: in many burger restaurants, eggs are only ever fried for this purpose, and as a result, the kitchen isn’t very good at frying eggs. This sometimes gives you an overcooked yolk, which gives you that gross, chalky hard-boiled egg texture.

Y’all midwesterners need to gtfo with this cheese-sauce-on-nachos bullshit. Real nachos involve shredded cheese sprinkled on top of chips and steamed, or alternatively, covered in foil and broiled if you’re doing it at home.

Why is it not called A Board Game of Thrones?

No one hates Super Smash Bros more than Super Smash Bros fans.

the controls hold up better than say Vice City’s awful movement and combat controls.

OK, so four years then?

Considering Forza games are usually delisted and some features shut down after 2-3 years, that’s an apt comparison.
