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...

Grrrr. Been holding off on a PS4Pro and 4K TV since, for the most part, there's not much content that takes advantage of it. But with this game and then Mass Effect in a month I may weaken...

This game just makes me scratch my head. When it was first shown off I thought it looked quite ingenious as a fast paced quasi MMO that was simple enough in design they could crank out tons-o-content and pull in cash from regular releases of new classes. Instead they went bonkers with PTW gear...

I am still thoroughly enjoying this show and have resisted temptations to check out the books. I was certainly not anticipating the ending of this week's episode

Why did I look at that Killpoints thing? Talk about depressing.

I have noticed that the actress who plays Alice has definitely been practicing her 'finger tutting' during the production break. In the first season her spell casting was the most subdued of the principal characters and they said in the 'behind-the-scenes' bit that she had the hardest time...

This was posted to Io9 yesterday from an instagram post that was since deleted. These are some damn fugly Klingons...

As to the end of the pilot / premiere

I am cautiously optimistic. I bought into the ideas behind EverQuest Next thoroughly and would like to see even a fraction of them make it into reality.

So being the super nerd that I am I played through the original trilogy again just to set the stage for all of this. I must have been too busy to read some of the Codex entries in the past because I noticed a few things I swear I never saw before... I also cannot bring myself to explore the...

Combat video sent out today. Obviously still more of a mocked-up living storyboard than "in game engine" but an interesting take on the turn-based genre

YAY!!

I knew most of that before from various sources, but it was good to have it all tied together like that. It is very easy to get so caught up in the system of what you are doing and the fear of breaking something that you end up, in fact, breaking it terribly not through action but through inaction.

Is there a reasonably easy way to play this co-op with a buddy? I know there are the Dark Souls like ways of adding people to your 'instance' but it is more than that? I am somewhat intrigued by this, but am looking for something cooperative to do with friends more often than not these days...

Ukerric must have a huge dick if his main entertainment-room TV is 44"... One of my best friends was just bemoaning his choice of a 93" screen for his home theater rather than a 105"

The rounds flying through the ship like it was a tin can riddled with buckshot was fucking amazing. That was without a doubt the most accurate view of what combat in space will truly be like. The caliber of actors they got for this show continues to amaze me. I recognized half of gunny's...

Clone Wars was so good by the end that I would have loved to have seen the result of handing the top level outline of Episode III to Dave Filoni and co and see what they came up with. Not only would the dialogue been a lot better, but the timescale of Episode III would have worked as a series...

That actually sounds like a badass way to use transcendence. (Its one of those abilities I've only ever used when trying to do jumping puzzles even though I know it should be of more utility than I take advantage of)

Curious that they asked him back for another series and he turned it down. Was he just reluctant to go forward with a new producer, or was the on-set relationship with the new chick as bad as some Daily Mirror reports have claimed? I think the Beeb will hold off on the female doctor for...

I get the feeling that Microsoft pulled the plug on ReCore because they felt that it wasn't a competitor for this... but I actually quite liked ReCore and was puzzled why they aborted development of it and shipped out the beta version as-is. Now Microsoft is not known for their good judgement...

Crafted legendaries are a head scratcher. Without any special power of any kind doesn't that just make it a high ilevel item? By the time you have enough skill to make the thing wouldn't you be expected to have already stumbled across a legendary that had stats AND a special power?

So we know we have two humans, an asari and a krogan as possible companions. Looks like the salarian is just the pilot, however the female turian is probably also a companion-type person. That leaves a few spaces for the addition of members of new races that we meet in Andromeda.

Is there anything under active development now? Is there anything that has come out recently that is worth spending time on? Recently started playing Diablo3 again with the peeps and while it is fun there is a desire to try a new MMO...

I really feel like Warner Bros should have locked Bruce Timm and Greg Berlanti in a room with a blank check and let them go to town.

I forgot how much I sorely needed Elliot in my life. I've avoided the books, so I have no idea where this all is going but I am super eager to see where we end up. Is it wrong to root for characters who are so completely and totally fucked up they can't even tell up from down?
