    Ha! The streamer I'm watching declared Boon "massive liar, Ed Boon" when he came on stage, immediately followed by him pulling that shit. Wonderful timing.

    You're not wrong. But fuck it, Red Dead is awesome, so I'll allow it.

    No fucking clue what The Pathless was, but it looked pretty.

    Hello Crackdown, look forward to seeing you on the Xbox 4 (maybe).

    High fantasy/pirate ARK MMO looks pretty neat.

    Sonic Fox needs to come on stage with the fucking fursuit to receive the award EDIT: He's fucking doing it. This is amazing.

    This is so fucking Journey-with-boats, it's absurd. Still looks kinda interesting.

    So, not-New Vegas 2. Not personally my jam, but good on them.

    So they say 'best content creator', but what they mean is 'best Fortnite player'.

    Bioware's latest desperate attempt to get people to care about Anthem Aaaaannd... failed.

    RDR2 deserves a lot of awards, but I don't know if I would've given them best score.

    Ancestors is looking pretty interesting.

    I don't know why, but Rocket League doing a 'FOOKEN CAHS' trailer cracks me up.

    With Marvel getting back into videogames, Ultimate Alliance returning probably should've been expected. Looks good, though.

    Yeah, that was a great trailer.

    I vaguely recall reading that "Fuck the Oscars" guy is supposed to be reappearing, so that'll be fun.

    Fallout 76

    Ya know, I like Bethesda, and I'm rooting for Elder Scrolls 6 to be awesome, but Christ, this is a fascinating--and immensely entertaining--trainwreck to witness. It's like every time you think they've hit rock-bottom, somebody detonates the bedrock out from under them, dropping them into an...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    In the cinematic universe? Her and Bucky, I think.

    Ended up being Impact Webbing for me. Watching enemies high-speed splat into buildings is just so damn satisfying.

    The Game Awards 2018

    This thing's happening on December 6th, so it feels time to make a thread for it. To start, here's the list of nominees. I fully expect RDR2 to sweep 90% of the categories it's nominated for, and that is as it should be. And of course, the Awards has become a mini-E3 nowadays, so we can expect...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I'm still only in the beginning of Chapter 3, but I have to say, this may very well be my favorite roleplaying game ever. Not in the sense of any of the mechanics we'd usually associate with RPGs, but in how effective it is in making you slip into actually playing the role of a...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    In addition to adding online, this patch also fixed the bug that could cause Sadie and the Marstons to not spawn in the camp for the first few chapters. And it might just be my imagination, but it seems like your horse is less likely to eat your weapon loadouts, so that's nice.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    When you go back to the camp, someone should come up to you and say, "soandso wants to talk to you". A few of the main story missions pop up like that. It's also possible that you need more than just Spines of America to unlock Pouring Forth Oil. It's hard to tell exactly what unlocks a given...

    The Lion King (2019)

    And they aren't selling you a CGI antelope for $10,000 to fund development of the movie.

    I don't do a lot of their regular movie reviews, but Best of the Worst is great. Love that shit.

    I haven't checked recently, but I'm pretty sure the $25 is the season pass.

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    StoryBricks might have been vaporware, but the idea had merit. That sort of system not only allows for new things to constantly be happening, but would also allow the game to feel more like a world (which used to be something MMOs had over single-player games, but they've largely squandered...

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    Really, MMOs need to move beyond the idea of just having a chain of quests that you follow through the whole game. They were useful at the time as a way to give motive and context to what the player was doing beyond "gain exp and loot", but they have increasingly resulted in MMOs becoming...

    What did you just read?

    Finally picked up Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. I feel like just about everyone here knows Sanderson at this point, so there's probably not much that needs saying. And if you haven't read Sanderson, what's wrong with you? Hop on it. Shit's good. Prior to that, I read Africa: The Biography...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Heh. That was actually the one real controls mishap I've had in the game so far. Got into a fistfight, hit triangle to grab them, but I *held* triangle instead of just tapping it, and thus went straight into 'choke them the fuck out' mode before I'd realized what was happening. Oops.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Damn. Well, he made it nearly a full century, and got to live to see his creations take over literally all of popular culture for the last decade. Not a bad note to go out on.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    You buy the tools in the ledger, after you do the mission for Strauss. As for the looting message, it just means that you're already holding 5/5 venison, or whatever the item is.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I actually find myself really liking the game's pace. Hard to nail down the particulars of why, but there's something nice about just being able to experience the world for a bit in between things happening. I actually tend to take things slower than I strictly need to (almost exclusively...

    Forgotten Realms Novels

    Dragonlance was the shit. That was my introduction to fantasy, as well as my first non-kid-aimed book. For FR, it's been awhile, but I remember liking the books with Erevis Cale. And yeah, I would skip anything by Greenwood; it's not offensively bad, but his stuff just does absolutely nothing...
