    Robocop - Remake

    Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but one of the reasons the first Robocop was good, like a lot of proper scifi, is was due to its social commentary at least as much as its good action and such.

    War with Syria

    I would love to see that happen. Hilarity would ensue to the highest level.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Yeah, I had no problem with it either. It did a good job to set them apart. Was just kind of weird to change the look of the races like that.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Ah yeah, my elf-loving friend bitched a lot about the weird elf appearance in DA2 as well I recall.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Was there ever a stated reason for the change in the Qunari between 1 and 2? I remember thinking Sten was just a different culture or nationality, never realizing he was a different race until reading something that said so much later. In DA2 of course they were clearly different. Was this...

    DA2 was worth the $7 I paid for it. I'm sure DA3 will be worth at least that.

    Ripper Street - Saturday BBC America

    If it is present day I'm not terribly interested. Usually takes a lot for me to watch something modern, same reason I don't watch the Sherlock remake thing.

    Saints row 4

    Fuck this game is good. All the old little activities are that much more fun that they updated and the new stuff with the superpowers is terrific. One top of that the story is a blast and simply hilarious at times and even at some points, for someone who played through a all of 2 and 3, there...

    Ripper Street - Saturday BBC America

    Second series of this is in production. I'm a fan of Victorian (well Victorian -> Edwardian -> Interwar eras, especially Britain) stuff so I decided to watch this since the cunts at Netflix took off the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes shows and movies. I must say, it is a bit of an odd bird...

    Smartphones

    I have Verizon service and a trust old Droid X, several years old at this point obviously, both serve me well but I should probably upgrade my phone to something newer. Honestly, it does everything I want it to and I don't even use it much, mostly I just like to have internets for when I'm...

    Visit Butcherblock Mountains

    I seem to recall a few levels you could only Evac there, and so you had the choice of dying in the bowels of whatever horrible Kunark dungeon you were in at the time or Evac the group to Skyfire to die in the middle of an outdoor zone to level 50-something drakes and wurms. Christ life as a...

    Have to say that was well done on the part of the SEA.

    Good lord. That was real? I thought that was a joke all those years ago? So much rage.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    Bunch of weak willed cowards. I put Alistair on the throne, made him and the queen get married, told Morrigan to piss off (I kicked her out of my group long ago when she whined about her mom wanting to kill her) and then with everything set right, I went and killed that dragon-thing and ate the...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    I was a mage and still sided with the Templars in the end due to every time you give a mage half a chance it's all "BLOOD AND ABOMINATIONS FOREVER!!!!" as soon as you turn around, so really, Meredeth's draconian abuse of the mages was totally justified by the mid way through the game. Shame...

    Rocket Raccoon in the Marvel Heroes game sounds like he has an Australian accent. Whatever that is worth.

    As much as I'd like to see it, linking to it would probably be strongly frowned upon by management.

    hyperloop

    Really, if this works well, it will revolutionize travel up and down the East and West coasts. A Boston-NY-DC line would be huge, NYC-to-DC in what, 20 minutes or something? Amazing.

    The Current State of Vodka (or if you prefer all vodka comes from three distilleries)

    Think it was just a west coast thing, as the Asians came in through California and were willing to work for cheap and the blacks didn't come out west as much. Which could have maybe released some post-Civil War tensions down South if there was more of an effort to get more ex-slaves to head out...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Which is all well and good if you tell people up front not to play Riggers because you don't think they're "sensible". I just recall them rarely being very good at a much else other than "rigger-ing" due to the required skill and cyber costs of the role. Screwing someone who is willing to take a...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Just started playing this a bit. Fun enough game. I do really have to give them a lot credit for all of the love for the source material and IP though. In that, the game really excels I think.

    Shadowrun Returns

    Which is kind of rough, as they probably don't want to say "Sorry, your rifle-rigger is basically useless this mission as all he can do is bring a handgun." It kind of cuts both ways. This is one of the reasons riggers were traditionally a tricky choice in the table top, as there were some...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Well, shotguns being too powerful needed to be addressed. They just overdid it is all. SMGs seem a little better as they don't empty their clips quite as fast, they're just sub-optimal now instead of "do not use". Part of the issue is in proper Shadowrun, you can't walk around with an...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    Guess it depends on how much you drive? A daily 50+ mile commute can wear away pretty quick.

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    I was thinking the same thing. "Shady car deal with a stranger in Vegas? Lets bring the wife and kids!" Not something that crosses my mind. Also, yes, not being able to find a legit car for $10k seems odd to me too. Seems like you should have come here and posted/read up before you started...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Yeah, but at least you have to run up to do it, which is moderately more dangerous than the shotguns.

    Shadowrun Returns

    Probably didn't need 3 turns, accuracy penalty and more damage penalty. Yeah, a 1 turn cooldown so you can only use it once a round would be fine in addition to increased range penalties.
