Ubi's event starting now, opening with the standard Tom Clancy...well, apparently with alien shit.

As ways to open up the E3 season go, Elden Ring is pretty fucking strong.

E3's official channels put out an updated schedule, so I've filled in those TBDs and added some of the other listed shows to the OP. I expect exactly nothing compelling from things like Verizon or Razer, and I have no clue who the hell some of these other developers/publishers/whatever are, but...

There's also been a couple rumors floating around about some new Marvel games happening. Apparently the XCom devs are working on a Marvel turn-based strategy/tactics game, of all things. There have also been rumors for years that Eidos Montreal was working on a Guardians of the Galaxy game...

Yeah that's normal. Malazan's one of those series where you want to read the books in relatively quick succession if you want to have any serious chance of holding it all straight in your head. A lot of intertwining storylines, and a shit-ton of characters to keep straight. Anyways, going to...

Nah; if I remember right, Loki was the father of Hel, Fenrir, and Jormangandr (the world serpent), but the mother of only Sleipnir (Odin's eight-legged horse).

It's that time of year again, boys and girls; E3's nearly upon us. And this year, fucking everybody is doing something (well, except Sony). Here's the schedule (all times Pacific): June 10 11 am: Summer Games Fest June 11 1 pm: IGN Expo June 12 8 am: Guerrilla Collective 12 pm: Ubisoft 1:30...

The odds of getting a WH2 DLC that didn't actually include a WH2 race were approximately zero, so that was a bit of wishful thinking. And of the two, Norsca is in a more playable state than Beastmen. But yeah, I expect we'll see both Norsca and Chaos Warriors get some stuff once the...

Khorne trailer, with Skarbrand as the LL And the last WH2 DLC: Lizardmen (Oxyotl) vs Beastmen (Taurox)

Who's ready for the weirdest fucking thing you're likely to read this week?

Yep, the first game's set in Colorado and Utah, with the DLC swinging up into Wyoming.

Not recordings, per se, but all of Journey's backstory is conveyed through murals scattered across the levels.

I remember the spear combat in the first one being somewhat janky--honestly, one of my few gameplay complaints for H:ZD; even setting aside the super move, it looked better here.

The Journals of Lewis and Clark by Bernard DeVoto. An abridged version of the journals kept by Lewis and Clark on their expedition to the Pacific. Not much to say about it that the book's title doesn't say for itself; if you have any interest in the history of the American frontier, this is very...

Confirmation that the Rasputin-looking guy from the last trailer is in fact the second Kislev LL. Likely going to play something like a warrior priest.

So, no clue if this is at all implemented in the current alpha, but I've been curious about this and haven't seen any statement on the matter. What's the game doing with regards to shit like encounter locking and kill-stealing mechanics? After having GW2 be the only MMO that I've touched for...

If I were doing it, then it would essentially be split up by Legendary Lord (or whatever the equivalent would be). So you'd get an Ultramarines LL, a Dark Angels LL, etc, under the umbrella of Space Marines. Might get a bit complicated if they used those chapters that have more unique troop...

Cinematic trailer got put up early. The gameplay trailer is still coming tomorrow.

The premise of the story, in short, is that the Green Knight barges in to a feast that Arthur is throwing and tosses down a challenge (and an axe) to the king and his knights: 'come on, one of you take your best swing at me, but then I get to take my best swing in turn, in one year's time.'...

Been way too long since I've touched it to give specific mod recommendations, but at minimum I'd suggest finding a mod that causes Destruction spells to scale their damage to your skill level. If you're inclined to use ward spells for defense, I'd also recommend to find a mod that cuts the mana...

Aggressively Young Adult in places, and sometimes guilty of lazy writing, but on the whole not bad. And surprisingly good visual effects for a TV show; it's interesting to see the gap in visual quality between a TV show and a proper movie become increasingly negligible.

I never played Expeditions: Conquistador, but Expeditions: Viking was a lot of fun, even if it could sometimes have a little of that indie games jank. Really looking forward to this one.

Also a confirmation that expansion info is coming on July 27.

Kano was great, as were the Scorpion fights. OC Donutsteel was terribly unnecessary, and everything else was just kinda there. If they can get whoever choreographed the Scorpion fights to do the rest of the fight scenes (I'm just assuming that it was a different guy, based on the results) for...

Correct, as long as WH1 shows up in your Steam library, you're in the clear. No need to actually install it.

Walden by Henry David Thoreau. The book got mentioned in passing in another book I was reading, and I decided to finally give it a full read. Like, I imagine, just about everyone in the States, I'd had to read bits of it at some point in middle school or high school, but it was interesting to...

Yeah, Luke Cage was generally good, except that final fight of season one against Spandex Man; man that was bad. Oh yeah, and that unnecessary villain swap halfway through season one. Still generally enjoyable.

Well, I think this was less 'building it up' and more 'we don't know how to make this work in a movie'. First they call the terrorist group in Iron Man the Ten Rings, then they have Fake Mandarin in Iron Man 3, with no relation to the terrorist group, and now we're getting Real Mandarin that has...

Running a second playthrough of Pathfinder: Kingmaker. This time around, I'm just saying fuck it and playing on easy the whole way through--see if I can get a full playthrough in under 100 hours.

Victory of Eagles by Naomi Novik, book five of the Temeraire series. A historical fantasy series that takes place during the Napoleonic Wars in a world where sapient dragons exist, and each country has their own draconic air force as part of their military. It's tricky to talk about book 5 in a...

God, I'd love to see the next movie include Jet Jaguar, and play the whole thing straight. Bonus points if they include the theme song.

Boone: A Biography by Robert Morgan. A history book on the life of the early American frontiersman Daniel Boone, who played an important role in kickstarting American settlement west of the Appalachians, and who had colorful enough life to essentially become the archetype for the 'frontier hero'...

They did change it so that it's now a bundle that contains both expansions, although that obviously doesn't help if you already have Heart of Thorns.

So it's a Godzilla movie. Cool, I'm in.

Jokes that at times felt like they were straddling the line between 'joking about pedo' and 'wistfully musing about pedo', but yeah, no actual pedoing going on. And I'll be damned, I'm actually kinda excited now to see a Suicide Squad movie, after having seen the last Suicide Squad movie. So...

It's not ideal. But, for me at least, the degree to which it's a problem depends on what sort of armor/weapon skins are in the game, without the cash shop. Like BDO is exceptionally bad in this regard, because if you don't want to go into the cash shop, then your choices for looks are a...

Yeah, when I think of Drizzt--the pure-at-heart hero that frequently goes on long internal soliloquies about how much he loves his friends--I think of hard rock of the 'fuck you mom, it's not a phase' variety. Gameplay might be good, but so far this thing is tonally baffling.

Absolute. (Well, might be 3 months, but still.) The current Early Access version of the game is very much a late alpha build of Act 1. Big content updates can and will render saves incompatible. Hell, I believe the most recent update that added druids did exactly that. You jump on BG3 now...

Could be, I didn't care enough to see how long it was actually up. Still, if someone spotted that early, that would be enough time to at least see a decent chunk of the movie.

There was also that stretch where WB accidentally put it up on HBO Max instead of that Tom and Jerry movie.
