I would very much like to see post ROTJ or even post TROS...something that carries the story forward in a meaningful way.

I always thought it was interesting to explore the rational viability of the 'bad guy' races through different rationales for behavior that didn't question their role as being 'evil'. The mantid in World of Warcraft were a good example of this -- still very much evil but for reasons that had...

It has a certain Viva Pinata flair...

https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/diversity-and-dnd Looks like Orcs and Drow are getting some edits to make them a bit more morally ambiguous versus generic chaotic evil scenery chewers. Sort of like what we saw with the Klingons in Star Trek over the years. Interesting that they are...

I never finished it, dunno why... I suspect it will be a $20 title. I think Infamous : First Light was at that price point. (Still annoyed that they haven't made a new Infamous game... Ghosts of Tsushima holds no interest for me)

I'm almost willing to forgive their lack of B-Wings. Almost

People seem to regard the release date for both PS5 and XBX as major state secrets...yet the supply chain to get that shit into retail or even warehouse-based channels is non trivial. How long does it take to get shipments across the Pacific by boat? Isnt it a few months when you include...

I very much doubt this will be the last delay, but now they will be colliding with the launch window of the new consoles and so could end up in a situation where they would be reasonably expected to have the PS5 / XBX version available on release day.

This is nothing like Doom Patrol. Watchmen and Sesame Street have more in common than Doom Patrol and Stargirl

The jock chick:

I'm guessing since Pat found the lantern that he will re-hide it and that will keep the membership at the four we have now for the time being. [/Spoiler]

I had a great time with the demo and the Early Access is $12.74... I can't pass that up.

This is very very good. I'm rapidly becoming a fan of whatever Klei does.

This really has demonstrated that demos are an amazing marketing tool. Im checking out and wishlisting a bunch of stuff that I would never have touched until/unless I saw a post on here about it.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is a VERY Baldur's Gate type game implementing D&D 5e rules. The character art is a bit weak, but the overall look and feel of the thing is quite impressive.

Wingspan has a computer-version that has a demo out on Steam right now as part of their Summer Festival. The computer version seems super faithful to the game.

The demos on the Summer Festival are pretty amazing. They worked with a LOT of indy developers to take the shit they would have shown off at conventions and made them into demos to showcase at this thing. Already tried the Wingspan demo (very cool) and was in the process of downloading Iron...

https://online.paxsite.com/ PAX has punted on PAX West this year and has created a free-to-all online variant instead. Firesofheaven.org should host an 'old persons guide to gaming' panel discussion.

Was dicking around and died to trash. No big deal right? NOPE! All my 'Lifebound' gear got nuked and I was left naked. Had to go back to town and 'gamble' on gear just to have something to wear and be able to kills things again. I guess I need to make sure to keep a backup piece of non...

The last time I had to get blood drawn for a physical (8 ish months ago) I signed in on a filthy looking clipboard using a pen that was, somehow, sticky and waited on a bench for an hour before getting escorted in and then waited another 15 mins while the phlebotomist finished her story about...

Apparently the PS5 case is going to be much more modular in nature more akin to a PC case. This will allow for special editions to have pretty wild form factors and might actually be a better option for those whose decor doesn't skew toward Tower of Orthanc.

God damn this season is dark... Did they watch Bojack Horseman and think 'man this show is too uplifting??'

Looks like an updated Venator-class Star Destroyer. Smaller but primarily used as a fighter carrier.

Since it supports VR for both PC and PS4 I'm gonna have to guess that this is just a standalone expansion/fork of Battlefront II with heavy modification.

Sounds like the main campaign has you make two characters -- one New Republic and one Empire and you alternate missions for the two of them.

I think the biggest issue I have with the kickstarter games (well other than COVID getting in the way of playing the damn things except via TTS) is the serious FOMO associated with the exclusive stretch goals. I often find myself stumbling on a review of a game I missed and which I think is...

No B-Wings in the poster art... grrrr

Thinking about the launch titles for the last couple of generations I am hard pressed to remember any launch titles that were genuinely good.

I tried this because I'm aching for something to play and have a few observations in parallel with those above: 1) Melee combat has some serious glitches. There are many cases where I will use a melee weapon against an archer type mob and be completely unable to hit them until I reposition...

This is an interesting visualization I thought. The current uptick is entirely driven by retail robin-hood investors. The big ticket industrial investment firms are holding steady.

I tried playing the Last of Us a couple times and just could not get into it. Not quite sure why, but it never really gelled for me like other games have.

Well fuck.

Reviews are dropping for this and it seems to be getting some praise... Thoughts?

That was indeed the season finale. Loved that they were less concerned about the mortal danger they were in and more worried about how they were depicted in the re-enactment.

Horizon is definitely not a launch title or they would have said so. Which is a shame as I don't know when I will buy a PS5, but I will absolutely have one for Horizon.

Been playing this with a buddy the last few days and we are having a blast, but have no idea what we are really meant to be doing. Mostly we just run into weird shit and crash the ship into rocks while we amass doodads to sell to the different faction people. I'd say at least half of the fun...

Did everyone else catch the name of the step-brother's friend who was coming for dinner? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakeem_Thunder

Timothy Zahn put his car up for collateral to secure a loan for the first (and only...) Dr Who convention in Champaign IL. It was the first convention appearance of then brand-new Doctor Colin Baker and was a disaster with a blizzard and everything. In retrospect scheduling a convention in the...

If you get cast on a series immediately delete your fucking social media. All of it. Clear that shit out!! Even though this doesnt seem to be the case here even innocuous in-jokes will get your ass fired.
