This, 1000 times this. Why couldn't he point any of that out, especially when someone was about to murder him over it? Either the writing is so incompetent that they need to have him clam up for anything to make sense, OR they don't want Joel actually getting credit for doing anything good /...

I don't generally make fun of people for actual disabilities. Main thing that bothers me about Bella's face is how goddamn fucking smug she is. Smugness is one of the most obnoxious disorders in our society today. Luckily, it tends to be a self-fixing problem over time.

My geezer experience: My first computer, as a wee boy, was a 1993 IBM with Windows 3.1 on it. Friends kept sending me Midi files and I couldn't get the sound to work. Eventually it turned out the computer didn't even have a sound card, was too primitive. Got a new one in 1998 that had Win 95 and...

That really is one of the best channels out there, I wish I had more time to go through their stuff. The cool thing is that the game actually supports all of this lore. They don't even have to reach to make connections, all of this stuff is really in there if you look around and study the game...

Wow, that map is a cool find. Freefield might actually be Freeport, would be odd for them to leave Freeport off a map like this entirely. I think the entire Lifire river disappeared from the actual game, and Rujarkian Hills got moved from the SE to the SW on later maps. For original concepts...

Things like general chat will be way more useful, yeah, with people wanting to stay on top of where the bonuses are as they move around. Unfortunately chat channels will also be inundated with relentless powerleveling spam that makes them completely unusable. Ignore lists have a limit, right? I...

Got ahold of Warhammer: Space Marine 2 and played some of that this weekend after playing the first few levels of this new Doom, and it's amazing how similar the two games are aesthetically. Main difference is that WH is third-person and Doom is first-person. Both focus a lot on lore and plot...

Playing it in bursts. A couple weeks, soon as I start to get too busy for it or something else comes out that I want to check out, I put it aside. Once I 100% the DLC I won't have anything left that's new, so I'm in no rush for it to end, no. It took me years just to get to Dark Souls 3 because...

Thousand Year Door remaster being $60 was a good example of how they fuck people over. What are the odds that these will work on a Switch 2? They work on Switch 1, and Bluetooth is Bluetooth, right?

Having played the first level (of 22), yeah this is very Warhammer-ish. Not seeing much Elden Ring similarity yet, not sure what people meant by that. Way too much melee combat, way too much lore, cutscenes, people talking in your ear, teammates to begin with... I like the dash strikes, which...

This is a sweet map, reminds me of the maps in fantasy books I read as a kid like LOTR and Prydain Chronicles. This one is actually worth hanging on a wall if I could print it out in poster format (only $20 per sheet at Staples) In other news, Jesus:

PS5 Skyrim looks decent, but it's nowhere near as gorgeous visually as Oblivion Remastered. It's the difference between a higher-res port and a full remaster. Like Dark Souls 1 Remastered vs Demon Souls Remake. Skyrim's art design is kinda ugly too, but I like the snow. Skyrim probably captured...

Picked this up to blow off some steam this weekend. Not super excited for this, but it's got the saving grace of probably not being a big time commitment. Hopefully it's in the 10-12 hour range like the other two. Doesn't this have a medieval setting (Dark Ages)? Not surprised the weapons are...

Started up the PS5 version of Skyrim that I got for like $8 on a holiday sale and was saving for this very situation. For anybody keeping score, this means I'm now concurrently playing Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. Lawl. Playing them back to back, you can really see how much more mainstream...

Agreed, if the DLCs were in the deluxe edition that'd be one thing. The way they laid out the website kinda made it look like the DLCs were part of the deluxe edition too. I hate microtransactions, but I've always had a fondness for Bethesda's DLCs (when they're actually worth getting). I'm a...

Is the Deluxe version worth paying an extra $10 for? Looks like it includes some armor sets. Not sure if I want to gimp the game if these give any major advantage. If the armors look good and don't break the game statwise, might be worth getting?

Twilight Princess on Gamecube was probably the last normal Zelda game, except it had that "play as a wolf for hours" gimmick. That was especially annoying at the beginning. You finally have the ability to swing Link's sword by swinging your arm, which is half of what we were excited about when...

Got this on PS5. Miss the KB+M controls of Morrowind and the Road Runner movement speed, but it plays really well with a controller regardless. Looks good, sounds good, runs smooth. The only issue is my complete inability to settle on a character (which is my fault), and the horrendous face...

Yeah, all I remember from Eternal is all the bright colors denoting Loot Piles or whatever. Not trying to play DOOM to collect a bunch of neon rainbow skittles here.

That's cool, so EQ2 fleshed out some of EQ1's missing world-space? That's pretty much exactly how EQ2 should have been used, TBH.

As a big Doom guy, this is going to have some stiff competition for my time, with Oblivion, Clair Obscur, ER Nightreign, and EQ OOW all on my list for the last week of May through June. The only real time I could even fit this in would probably be the next week and a half where it's only...

That sounds like it was probably intended to be Rujarkian Hills or Deathfist, yeah. Wonder why it was scrapped? As a kid, the entire desert area was mysterious to me and I felt like there were a lot of hidden secrets there, especially in Oasis. I also liked the gold orcs and assumed they'd have...

There's got to be a sensible middle ground between unisex Mao's Cultural Revolution Uniforms that completely eliminate sexuality, and stupid-looking out of place bikini armor straight out of your favorite anime RPG. Rather than swinging from one extreme to the other, game designers should seek a...

Been wondering what the deal is with Clan Deathfist as a zone, and whether it was a classic zone that was scrapped during development. That zoneline in the NW corner of Oasis sure looks like it was intended to go to Rujarkian Hills (a hypothetical classic version) or Clan Deathfist, with the Orc...

Omens is a great time with the Epic 2.0s. Brings back the "work on epics with your guild" excitement of Kunark, only now with significantly more interesting and involved quests. Good time to mention that with Omens about to drop and more raid splits to fill out, Faceless is particularly looking...

I mean, companies do this all the time. FF7 Rebirth is like 120 GB and comes with a Data Disc and Play Disc. The disc has however much of the game to run it, and you patch/download the rest of it during the installation. And yeah, even if something was too big to physically distribute, you...

That's really sad to hear. I know ES4 does the "body types" thing but I didn't know they censored a bunch of stuff in the game itself. Companies need to start learning to tread lightly when they're remaking a beloved IP, hopefully they will at some point. After ten years of waiting (I got into...

Went looking for an Oblivion Remastered to buy, hoping there was a nice box set available. .........There's no physical edition at all? I should have expected that, at this point. Remember when Elder Scrolls games had box sets with lorebooks and maps and whatnot, even in console editions? We...

Pretty much beat Morrowind, or at least broke the game in half. Game is so insanely easy to get overpowered in that it's kind of ridiculous. Turns out if you taunt NPCs a few times and then bribe them to reset the chance of taunt working, over and over, eventually they'll snap and attack you...

It's a game called Arena with no arenas in it. Yeah, Elder Scrolls: Tamriel would have made a lot more sense. I played through all of that game in the past, and while it does have the entire continent, it's much much smaller in scope than Daggerfall. Each province has like 10 areas of note and...

Yeah, the weapon durability is what warded me off of BOTW fairly quickly. With Skyward Sword it was the motion controlled flight sequences (horrible) which were mandatory and would clearly be a big recurring part of the game. Echoes of Hyrule, it was Zelda's inability to just swing a sword...

Yeah, just watched Ep 4 and it was pretty goddamn stupid. Also noticed the subtle positive references to CHAZ (Seattle Capitol Hill), and the stuff about taking people's voting rights away was annoying. No serious country on Earth lets non-citizens vote in their elections, full stop, but our...

Wonder why they kept the name "Arena" for the first Elder Scrolls, because as far as I can see, there are no actual arenas in the entirety of that game. Originally it was supposed to be a multiplayer deathmatch type PC game with medieval weapons, mostly set in an arena(s). I think there was...

Modding a game so that your heterosexual character doesn't get hit on by random men throughout the entire game seems like a no-brainer mod for a large majority of the playerbase. I'm sure Nexus is on the case furiously banning it. It's too late for Assassin's Creed Shadows, where the...

What will be dust, the pyramids? And survive what? It's crossed my mind a lot that the only way our civilization gets remembered 12,000 years into the future is if someone bothers to preserve it. And quite frankly, if the northern hemisphere got wiped out (in a massive war or something) I have...

We're back around to my original assertion that necromancers are going to be where it's at on this server. Sounds like rogues will be having a moment too, though.

I don't think anybody is complaining about Isabela Merced's looks. One of the most gorgeous Latina actresses around today, along with Melissa Barrera (who might be more or less gone, she seems to be persona non grata in Hollywood now because she said we support Israel too much or something)...

That's pretty much what I was saying, that Morrowind isn't intended to be plowed through and that it's great/different for that reason. If Skyrim and Oblivion are like that too, then awesome. It really does feel like one could play Morrowind for a hundred hours without beating the game, and that...

Tribunal might be useful then if the assassins get too obnoxious. As it is I'm just murdering them and selling their loot and that's most of my income. Also a big upgrade to my armor rating, at the cost of looking like Psycho Mantis.

Level 7 in Morrowind, not sure if I've even really progressed the main story quest at all and I'm probably leveling wrong and everything. It's a great time regardless. I should probably join some guilds and do their quests, maybe see if I can get into the two expansions early (they both seem...
