I always thought that it would end up that That having been said I like yours better.

Its always weird that the world depicted in the cinematic is functionally different than the game we play, especially when it comes to healing or really most magical abilities beyond the most basic effect. It would be more interesting, in my opinion, to address head-on the very thin veil that...

So its looking more like that leak about Shadowlands is actually legit?

Was rebuilding home theater the last couple weeks (it's purdy!) so just got caught up with eps 2&3. It's clear that they decided to double down on DC Universe-y stuff with this second season and it's paying off already. Very excited to see where they go with this, especially as the cast...

Just got a new work lappy and I gotta say the USB-C display port seems like witchcraft. Power + HD display + mouse + keyboard all over a single cable? Was fun ditching the damn dock that's for sure.

That scene is rather amusing, in hindsight, since Rom becomes Nagus. Really sucks that he died that young, clearly kidney disease.

I just got to the part depicted in the screenshot above and am still quite pleased with the game. It definitely scratches that Bioware itch in a way that Anthem could never possibly hope to do. There are some logic holes in the plotline progression where information is available to you...

This is really shaping up to be the definitive live action Crisis. I really do wonder if they will merge all the TV versions into one so we have Flash, Supergirl, Doom Patrol/Titans, Krypton all in one universe.

I do like how this is doubling down on the characterization of the different corporations that make the various weapons.

Y'all need glasses...

The game is naturally easier with at least 1 other player owing to how it was designed as a co-op title. The ability to pick your buddy up, split the targeting of a big boss and even run in after dying all make the content smoother. Plus you have another set of ears to catch all the subtle...

I figure the Dark Asher reveal is itself a fake-out. We are meant to see that the Dark One is just a scary story when in fact it's just some rudimentary corpse-splicing that is going on. Then later down the road it can be revealed that corpse splicing and related Fae necromancy is a direct...

Okay so last night we did a family friendly movie night and showed Avenger's Endgame to a packed house of nerds and their kids. Having now seen, first hand, the reaction that the A-Force scene created in several girls age 8-13 I get it. Its still contrived and could have been done much more...

I could definitely see her in the role. Lord knows the eyebrows drove me crazy in GoT

Ahh crap! I knew I recognized her from somewhere and did not realize that it was the same actress who had played her in the mysterious-yet-rumored-to-be-just-awful GoT pilot.

I just think its awesome that they commissioned The Heavy to make this song for the game. After the first two there was no way you could have a different band do the opening theme.

Having fun so far. I always forgot about grenades in BL so playing as Zane and using the second Action Skill in place of the grenade is ideal. Best friend is playing as FL4K and we're doing fine so far, though in the first couple hours ammo has been a serious issue. Too many fucking...

Vaping is a problem and requires serious govt intervention because 6 people died... Guns though, all good.

Its fun that PC Master Race wins out on the global launch. I had not carefully looked at the graphic before and am happily surprised I can play this tonight.

I figured the whole reason for Unseelie Jack in the first place was so they could communicate to the audience -- "yeah you think we're doing Jack the Ripper given the setting, but we arent and here's proof -- we just did it!"

I picked it up because I'm a sucker for a Bioware title. (Also my best friend will kick me in the balls if I play Borderlands without him so I need something to play when he's not around) It does lack the polish of controls one would expect from a title like this and the textures etc do get...

This is a complete riff on the original. Its essentially Watchment the Next Generation .

As for 'where was the scientist character?' I feel pretty confident that we will get some sort of scientist in the second season. Either some mechanical genius refugee from the Pact that the Burgh is wanting to butter up for technology secrets or some bio/zooilogical type ALA the opening...

JACK is pretty badass

Yeah that's kind of fucked up. The game itself offers up the moral choice to do what you say you want and yet you don't take it up?

To be fair I too often find myself trying the most diplomatic options in these sorts of games. I ended up with both the Quarian AND Geth participating in the Battle of Earth in Mass Effect 3 etc. Many times in these games I have a visceral reaction when I try to go 'off-brand' in terms of...

The purported plotline is extremely hackneyed.... and thus quite likely real.

Leaving a review embargo up until the launch is admittedly not a good sign.

I can empathize with this because you know everytime you are encouraged to rush that there is some collectible or JACK upgrade hidden nearby. The quasi-open world nature in ACT 2 where you can find side-quests is a bit of a departure from what I always thought of as a very linear series. I...

The most damning review so far comes from PC Gamer -- "An endless font of bad jokes and cool guns in the series' most vapid story yet, Borderlands 3 skates by on watching numbers fly and goons explode. " Which is exactly what I want from a Borderlands game so I'm good.

I'm playing it because it comes with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate which I, and like a million other people, got for $1 for two years with the E3 special. I've never managed to play a Gears game before because I found the overall controls so awkward, but I've done alright so far. Im less wild...

This is back today with an episode that is really just the original season finale from last year with a few bits added on at the end. I can see why they decided to hold this back as it wasn't a terribly good finale, but it will serve as an okay season opener. Much of the last 20 mins goes...

I kinda wonder what the meetings are like in Blizz HQ given the reaction to Classic and the apparent evacuation of BFA. Is a charting process to see when the nostalgia runs its course and they need to have real content ready or?

Did the end boss again last night and managed to kill him with one trip into the flip side owing to Breath spam when coming out. It's very pew-pew but in a good way.

That's leomorphic you insensitive clod!

I have faith in this development team that the plot will indeed fix itself. The sheer detail put into some of these scenes is just bonkers given that its nearly all practical effect puppets.

I did like how much the stories dovetailed together towards the end. The overall effect, other than the two who are going on exposition-walkabout, was to act as a sort of prequel. I kept wondering why we were coming back to the theater dude when, in fact, it was just setting him up as the...

I should point out that he plays the scrapper at hunter-class distances. He did finally admit that my use of Swarm was a good thing and even slotted it himself when we fought Nightmare. There does need to be some balance done both on items as well as bosses. Anything you can do which...

Yer lucky. I play with a guy who rolled as a scrapper and is of the opinion that the shotgun is an amazing weapon at all ranges and thinks I'm stupid for using the 'pussy beam rifle'.

I thought it great that neither of the political incest dibs really has any malice towards the Fae and are just using them as a convenient target. Gotta wonder if some of the more privileged types wouldn't be protected from this new law.
