September 16th. And yeah that wrongful termination lawsuit vanished real quick.

Agreed, the slow crawling sections really sucked the air out of that part. The vacuum minigames were pretty bad too. This game has so much stuff to get through that they do NOT need any padding.

I don't think they've actually cut Rocket Town. I guess we'll see. Demo was a lot of cool nostalgia, but it ended too soon (I wanted to see Sephiroth unmask Jenova). Looks like we're getting a second demo some time in the next couple weeks with open world gameplay so that should be pretty cool too.

I knew a kid in Jr High who grinded his way to Fire 3 / Bolt 3 / probably others, some during Midgar and most right outside of Midgar. Apparently it took days. No idea why he did this. Maybe he thought he had to defeat the Midgar Zolom to continue. Or maybe he was just totally making it up. I...

He also cheated though. IIRC Connor had him on the ropes before he launched a hidden projectile from his sword hilt (which is a real thing they developed in either India or China, can't remember, a few hundred years ago)...

It is all a mystery yes and that's part of the appeal of Highlander, nothing is really explained because it's all just "a kind of magic" and whatnot. There are some inconsistencies though and we really don't know what "power" means in the context of immortal-slaying gains. I've wondered about...

I guess I'll give Raven another shot at some point. I've watched The Series probably 3 times through over the decades and only saw the Raven spinoff once. I just remember it being dull as hell, Amanda not seeming like herself (also she was really OP suddenly, while in The Series she was shown to...

If you say so. I just remember it being "cop show cop show cop show" and Amanda being completely unappealing compared to her The Series persona. I think The Raven was on super late night USA Network (like 1 AM or something) during its initial airing and even most Highlander fans didn't know it...

I don't think I even knew about this, or if I did I didn't pay it any thought. I'll give it a watch if I can find it. Yeah, The Series really is damn good. Too many people write it off because it isn't the first movie. I liken it to Buffy and how the series took on a life of its own and ended...

I still suggest doing the DLC now since it coincides with the part of the game you're on story-wise and there's a lot left in the main story. Also keep in mind that Shinra Tower is roughly the last 40% of the game. Even though there are only 3 chapters that take place there, it takes a while.

Demo is probably dropping tomorrow night (Tuesday) so clear your schedules. I'm definitely gonna be playing it. Not that I know of nope.

I'm guessing the anime is different from Highlander: The Animated Series back in the 90's with Quinton Macleod? I think that show might have been post-apocalypse. Man, the dudes who created Highlander really wanted to do post-apocalypse shite for some reason. Never saw the Animated Series...

Here's the theatrical version of HL2 if anyone wants to watch it again. I had to go through a few videos on Youtube to find it, since most are the Renegade Cut and mislabeled. Looks like the best way to tell what version you're watching is whether or not Ramirez's voice mentions Zeist while...

Also a huge Highlander guy. Not many things I have "fandom" for: Pretty much just Highlander, Terminator, and the show 24, in that order. Never seen the Renegade Cut of HL2. I have it (thanks to getting a series DVD set). It's much easier to find than the theatrical version, which I've only...

Probably a little of column A and a little of column B. For me it was hilariously bad in some places, but also great to see Duncan, Connor, Methos, and Joe again.

Library doesn't have any copies of Dredd, Casablanca, or Doctor Zhivago, but they have like 6 copies each of The Hate U Give and Hidden Figures. Edit: This library is in Massachusetts. Stay out of Massachusetts

That's hilarious, except the bill. Now I'm wondering why in the blue hell anybody would run an AC and a space heater at the same time.

Switching between Body, Stamina, Strength now and kinda ignoring Skill. Hopefully those points weren't wasted. How important is it to stay under 60% weight in this one? Should I focus on lightweight/speed or equip high defense armor? Got a bunch of Nioh Armor on that had great defense while...

Resuming Nioh 1 (again) for the third (fourth?) time. This time I mean it, since I'm coming off of Sekiro. And yeah it's difficult to just pick it back up and have any idea what I'm doing. A few things: -On the second area, I think. It's a green wooded area with a lot of torch guys wandering...

Any ideas on this sky-light shining beams back at people? ...or the freakish lizard-eyed reporter right after that?

Yarp. I'll maintain to this day that Highlander: The Source is somehow even worse than this one, but it could go either way. The Source hurts more for series fans, HL2 hurts more for HL1 fans. I thought HL3 was passable and Endgame was actually decent. I think they had the right idea with...

Chapter 14 is a good time to stop and do the DLC. It takes place at about the same time as Chapter 13 or so IIRC, and it's two chapters. The side quests are alright. But yeah there isn't much point unless you want to do everything and it sounds like that isn't your objective here. Know what...

Yeah, they definitely called the demise of the ozone layer.

Sekiro platinum done. This was the one From game where the plat wasn't entirely worth it, due to the "all skills" trophy. I didn't have an issue with having to grind for it at the end (even though I only did two runs of the game and save scummed all the endings). The problem was not being able...

I sat next to an incredibly gorgeous woman on a flight to Charlotte NC a couple years ago. For like 3 hours neither of us said anything, then in the last few minutes of the flight I struck up a conversation and she was super nice. Pretty sure she was an Instagram star or something because...

I just completely avoided them after the first time I ran into one and got instakilled by Terror just from...breathing the air I guess? Like I don't even know what the hell hit me. So I popped back up when it was safe and ran off and never bothered with them until... right before Sword Saint at...

I have fond memories of the Tifa portion of that EGM picture, given that I was like 13 at the time. And yep. I was coming off of Chrono Trigger where the bad guy joins you midway through to take on the bigger bad guy, so I expected that kind of thing. I was under the impression that the Shinra...

I assume the Peters Projection Map is vastly more accurate, but it kinda feels like (from this clip and everywhere else it's brought up) that a lot of people like it not because it's accurate, but because it has a GIANT AFRICA. Their smugness about it really gives it away.

It just looks that way on maps because it gets stretched out due to occupying the southernmost part of the Earth (and thus pointing towards everything else, if that makes any sense). Our maps are pretty awful at showing true proportions and perspectives. Most maps still have Siberia, Canada...

This is a good one. I liked the ongoing Tartarus side-dungeon that you've got kinda going on in the background for the whole game. Definitely spent the most time in that part back in 2008.

Beat the game late last night. Man, that was a good time. Going for the platinum next of course. Here's what everything took in terms of tries. Yes, Owl Father fell quicker than Owl Shinobi. Nowhere near as tough as I expected it to be in my mind, but definitely tough. The top 5 fights were the...

@Regime is that you?

Well, it predicted one part right...

There's also that. Not sure why this game doesn't include the female protag from the PSP port, or the game-sized "The Answer" expansion from the FES version. Not sure why I even like Persona games. The whole Persona system is interesting, the battle system is very solid, and the general...

Reached Sword Saint Isshin, last thing to beat the game. All other bosses and minibosses down. Would I be better off bringing 2x Rice or 1x Fine Snow to this? Fine Snow seems to do like 2x the heal per tick, but Rice does okay if I back off a bit and let it work, and two of those means twice...

Oh I didn't buy this, I grabbed it at the library just to check it out for a little while. Game plays great, but the initial onslaught of woke dogshit as soon as you start the game ensured that I'm not gonna do anything else with it. I am curious as to why most of the trans stuff is on the...

Kind of rustled that this remake still has the characters all shooting themselves in the head to cast spells and do special attacks. So you watch them shoot themselves in the head 5-10 times per battle. It gets real old and it kinda sucks to look at for people who have lost friends to suicide...
