I'm enjoying it. Played through the first few storyline missions then gave fleet vs AI a shot a couple times while on telecoms. Right now every human is fighting as a solo player and the AI is fighting as a team and so it's pretty rough even on Easy mode. We were losing bad until I jumped...

I and others have been pestering them about the B-Wing / Tie-Defender and their consistent response was 'no microtransactions, no DLC, no expansion'. In other news I scored a list-price order for a Tflight One HOTAS, but it won't be here for another week :(

I miss Taco Bell. The only one nearby is really really bad :( Yum Foods needs to have a much tighter rein on the franchises.

People are up in arms because CD Projekt Red is going to 6-day workweeks until this ships. At this point that would be at best a gain of 1week of additional labor. I doubt its about actual hours of work needed and more about a sense of urgency to get everyone to focus.

The QA types I met looked like Jack Skellington, so I can believe the lacking meals bit.

I wonder if EverQuest would be okay today or not. Vaguely western european humans were Qeynos, vaguely middle-eastern humans were Freeport. Halas had the ultrawhite nordic types as Barbarians and the Odus was basically Wakanda with the Erudites.

Releases in just over 4 days but due to the completely predicted demand for HOTAS controls for Microsoft Flight Simulator there is not a single controller to be had anywhere. I feel this is going to make the cross-platform nature of the game into a bloodbath.

It's 2020. Even if we ignore the blatant racism displayed by some of these dipshits there are still lots of worse things to concern ourselves with than elves with vaguely African or Asian features.

Or just expansions where the hub zone was Dalaran? It is still the champion in terms of effective and efficient design while retaining distinct flavor.

I had to do a quick search of old news to get a measure of how many units were available on launch day for other consoles. All numbers are North America unless specified otherwise. Nintendo 64 = 350k sold over first four days, 500k sold over the initial 4 month launch (production backlog)...

You apply it fairly generously to the popcorn and oil before popping. There is a ratio listed on the carton but I always eyeball it. Sometimes people will sprinkle more on afterwards if they have the physiology of a salt vampire, but typically the stuff you put on before is plenty.

I feel that BFA was an entire expansion where the hero gets shunted off to a secondary plotline in a much bigger movie. Like there was some other main plotline taking place that we were just not part of...but alas no. At the end of Legion it seemed as if we opened up a whole universe of other...

I always make mass quantities of popcorn for movie night (fewer now that we have social distancing) and people comment that it tastes exactly like / better than movie popcorn. I'm like 'no shit...I didn't spend my entire time during undergrad working at a GCC for nothing' Anywho it's not a...

Went to watch Ebola Holmes and ended up watching the Social Dilemma instead. That's pretty much a horror film. 😞

Yeah ain't no Trek fans watching that shit on broadcast CBS. Only people watching that are boomers who still regularly watch CBS in the first place.

I wonder how many people are in the 'eh whichever one I can get first' when it comes to PS vs Xbox? Is there a genuine market advantage to be had here or is it just that people already have in mind what they want? If they only plan to get a specific one, or plan to get both, there is no...

That's for the best, your soul will thank you.

AMC seems to think that $5 for a small popcorn is something that will compel us to come visit their cesspool.

I can't imagine why people would even want to have communication on with people on a console who wasn't already a good friend, much less manage to get banned.

Hearing rumors that a bunch of current people are jumping ship after some stock bonuses finish vesting on Oct 1st. I guess after the Bungie splinter Activision suits came down hard on the Bliz creatives and the COVID attitude has made things untenable.

They will have a Hearthstone-equivalent within a year I bet.

The original Activision team were goddamn rockstars. They (and to a lesser degree iMagic) forced the issue of 3rd party software development for gaming systems and set the stage for true competition in the marketplace.

The shipping thing is... woof. I'm not accustomed to paying money for shipping at this point.

HeroQuest Game System linked in the boardgame thread too

Its what Hasbro does for products that they want to make but which aren't guaranteed enough sales via market research to be absolutely viable. So weird fan stuff or outrageous things like the Star Wars Jabba Sailbarge etc. In this case they can use the format to potentially enable all sorts...

Note that the bios of the 'guest designers' betrays their bigger aspirations beyond the listed goals. One of the designers is for the Druid character which doesn't even show up currently as a stretch goal.

https://hasbropulse.com/products/heroquest-game-system Its amusing that Hasbro is running their 'lab' as a crowd funding enterprise, but I suppose it allows for more crazy moonshot ideas with expanded offerings so why not.

Xbox Just as much as a clusterfuck as PlayStation. Special award goes to the Microsoft store itself which buried the link to actually order the thing behind 3 interim pages of links and 'configure' options which led to a static link for the only actual 'configuration' available.

What the... after all the work they did in Legion and BfA to create scalable content that let people scatter to the winds and pursue the content in whatever order they wished (and thus reduce congestion) they reverted to a set order? Whose bright idea was that??

The series was crazy expensive to produce so I'm sure when it wasn't an immediate smash hit the Netflix eyes wandered elsewhere looking for their next great franchise.

Yeah you can get a hint of that with the "operations" toggle on the map whereby you can switch between (right now) the Avengers Initiative and the Campaign. Its clear they put that in to allow for very extensible campaign-like additions.

Yeah she has definitely levelled up... Surely they must be linking her and the whole Dr Strange multiverse into finally doing the mutants.

They clarified that Exotic gear can only drop the first time you complete heroic activities each week. They did say that the drop percentage would increase soon once the Last Avenger Standing was working properly.

My bad, it's a normal heroic hive but the mission is to do 8 of them in a series of parts. After I did the one last night I'm on part 2 of the 'quest'

Did the new Heroic Gauntlet1 after the patch, the hero rotation thing is working in that if you get downed you have to switch to another character so long as that other character meets the power requirement. It says it's 8 floors, but it was actually 6 and not too bad so long as I played super...

That may not be a fair assumption. I remember when PS4 and the Xbone launched that there were a couple of media apps that were not updated for a few months. It was very annoying.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dc-universe-rebranding-as-comics-only-platform-in-january This came with the natural sunsetting of DCUniverse as a streaming service.

I wonder if all this will cause retailers to rethink their bot-defense mechanisms? Obviously its been effecting shoe collectors for awhile, but I don't think they are numerous enough for it to be a news item. People are starting to talk about how hard it is for a human to place a preorder.

Yeah it is odd that its a game that is actually available at launch, wont be on PS4 / Xbone and they said nothing...

Digital Editions seem to sell out super fast, much more so than the full version
