Part of me wonders if the Andromeda Initiative is just a full implementation of the "Golgafrincham" solution from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy : Of course that would make the Reapers a "virulent diseases contracted from a dirty telephone"

We actually started watching the old Channel 4 comedy "The Green Wing" purely to see Michelle Gomez acting completely bonkers. Damn she's awesome.

At one point I started to actively hunt critters that have a high wire component drop rate. Lately I've managed to achieve a steady state with my materials gathering / usage through normal activity such that I haven't needed farm common things lately.

Without spoiling anything I will say there were several plot elements in the game that I thought were going to go the way of cliche-ridden hackneyed story elements that went a completely different and fairly logical way. These were all fairly minor elements of the overall plot but served to...

I did get a chance to play Multiplayer at PAX this past weekend and it was pretty smooth. As mentioned several times in the earlier segments of this thread Bioware Montreal did the multiplayer part of ME3 and they have kept it pretty much intact for this game. The only changes from that format...

After being off side questing for quite a while (including some of my own making...i.e. "get a goddamn trampler heart for a shadow war bow") I went back to the main plot and I am thoroughly engaged with this to a degree I haven't been in years. I actually don't think Sony is even aware of...

I don't think they really had a clear vision of what to do with Iron Fist. They knew they needed to have him for the Defenders but there's likely a reason he was the last series they worked on. It seems almost like a rehash of the less entertaining aspects of Daredevil Season 2, hopefully...

What really sucks is being in a major fight and suddenly realizing that your supply of wood, the stuff that you had collected far too much of early on in the game and therefore ignored for the past several days, is now gone and you can no longer make any arrows. Thankfully my supply of wire...

The review embargo has dropped and they are, so far, not kind. Iron Fist review: The first six episodes Iron Fist fails to land on critics: 'Good luck, bingers: Getting through two episodes was a challenge'

I hardly ever need to tumble...then again I try never to actually get close to the robodinos. Never underestimate the power of precision targeting of various subsystems. Night and day difference in combat if you are accurate enough with the nicer precision bows.

The one groaning moment I had was thinking at the start "this mountain better not be what I think it is..." and then seeing the remains of that ode to concrete majesty: the Air Force Academy chapel. Once ONCE I would like a 'post apocalyptic mountain' to NOT be NORAD.

I think it is clear that the talent they had was completely wasted on Killzone...

The new "golden worlds" training briefing is up. They do at least mention one world as the best shot for dextroprotein lifeforms / biology to support the Turian and Quarian colonists. This addresses one of the head-scratcher things that was bugging me about the whole Andromeda Initiative and...

I acquired a Shadow Bow and loaded it up with three (1 purple two blue) + Fire damage mods. Then I proceeded to cackle with glee as I set dinos ablazing until I promptly burned through my whole Blaze stockpile and had to start rationing my pyromania. I was wondering why there was a large carry...

Shadow King is a major Xmen comic villain, hence the talk about him (especially with the dog that never existed being named 'King'), I also enjoyed the moment when they realize the Benny/Lenny dichotomy and start to put together that David's mind is not the usual sort of place. Well that and...

I've already been called a heretic to my face because of this, but I am actively enjoying this more than Zelda. Granted I admit that I haven't gotten very far in Zelda since after only a couple hours I found myself jonesin to shoot fire arrows into robodinos and switched back to Horizon. What...

More than a little surprised that 1-2 Switch doesn't even have a demo. I would have thought the quirky nature of the game would have meant it would be a default pack-in ala WiiSports, but if not then at least a demo so people can try a couple of the minigames.

I'm not sure if I want to go hunting for a physical cartridge for Zelda or just go with the downloaded version. People seeing plenty of copies of Zelda at places like Target?

Speaking of those military-grade drugs... what are they supposed to be? From the very first episode I have been trying to wrap my brain around what they are meant to do, I mean besides looking like Ketracel White from the Jem Hadar.

I did the first "Cauldron" last night and, as Utnanyan mentioned above, discovered that traps should not be ignored and barely managed to beat the 'boss'. Even though I had taken one of those down previously the confines of the space were a massive handicap. I also, only after the fact...

I'm going to guess Solomon Epstein zipping out of the Solar System at a nice clip is going to be relevant at some point. While part of me thinks it would be cool to just have this mini vignette on the narrative science/engineering, I can't imagine they would have filmed it if it wasn't...

They address the sizing issue in the context of the film.

I do loves me some Mon Mothma. I'm very glad that the animated series and Rogue One have allowed the character to be fleshed out a bit more.-

Saw the film yesterday at an advance screening and John C Reiley gets nearly all the best lines.

I do envy PS4Pro+4K users right now.

I played way more last night than I should have and was thoroughly captivated. The world is open, but not unstructured and I keep finding myself making and revising guesses as to what the fuck is going on in this post-post-post-apocalyptic world. I think the whole medicine pouch thing is...

Am I crazy for thinking Snipperclips is the more interesting title? Especially in the context of a 'be social with friends' machine? Zelda is cool and all, but the whole initial marketing push for the Switch was based around gaming-on-the-go and interacting with humans persons.

Thought I'd check it out a bit after it unlocked at midnight...And now it's 2:30. Im loving the thing so far. Exactly what was advertised in the original promos

:(

Its like a ShadowRun prequel...

I understand part of the logic for having two sets of envelopes, that people can enter from either side of the stage, but it still seems like a rather obvious failure vector. I bet next year they just have one central location where the presenters and/or the minions have to get the envelope...

Watched "Hail Ceasar!" and "Beautiful Creatures" tonight and I'm feeling much better about this film now. Alden Ehrenreich seems to have some pretty solid acting chops.

Again I am not a book reader, but given the dialogue and discussion of "the work" I can only imagine that some interesting shit will now go down on Venus. I suspect the Martian Marine whose character introduction focused on her dream of terraforming Mars is going to be pretty triggered when...

All about the unfolding. While the overall reliability of nearly everything that goes into space is as close to infallible as you can be, there are no guarantees in life especially since the mechanisms in question cannot be tested in a null-gravity environment. Consider this video ...

Non book reader here, but it was pretty clear from the context that this was the end of "book one". I'm annoyed that I haven't been able to get more people watching this damn show.

But... but you can have a handjob minigame! I really had my hopes up for this as a nice hybrid between the genius of the 3DS and the social-fun of playing on the big screen, but it seems as if Nintendo got too cocky after Splatoon.

So 6 possible squadmates this time... Biotic chick, Turian personal shopper, Asari urchin , Zygon from Dr Who, Krogan old dude, and Lucio. I know they have to have a human male and human female for 'romance' reasons, but why couldn't they have had a Salarian? You could be forgiven for not...

If Webb deploys properly I will be completely stunned. I used to work on that project and the thing is pretty much a goddamn Transformer. As far as propulsion systems : yeah anything remotely conventional is not gonna cut it. Best bet is something like an EMDrive that 'violates' physics and...

God damnit. In an ideal world we'd not only be capable of sending long rang probes to something ~ 40 light years away we'd have already chucked a few that direction and have some ready to send along immediately. Oh well. Maybe in another century we'll have developed small scale autonomous AI...

I've been doing the LFR thang and so just yesterday got to encounter the Ellisande fight. I actually laughed out loud at the whole dramatic dialogue absurdity of the setup: Ellisande : "I have seen all possible futures and this is the only path for my people!!" *dies* Ellisande ghost: "Oh I...
