Alan Tudyk is an international treasure and is carrying this whole series on his back. He's perpetually working and never seems to get the respect he deserves.

Since it was on Game Pass I fired this up... and finished it this weekend. Given the nature of the game I have already started a second play through to explore all the stuff I didn't get a chance to do in the first time round. Game is very tied into emotions and the idea of self and men's...

I am genuinely surprised that Best Buy lives on. Who the heck is shopping there now that they got rid of DVDs and such? How many TVs do you need and why wouldn't you just go to Costco?

It's just Billie Piper as a placeholder or Bad Wolf / The Moment shenanigans. It's actually quite smart since if there IS a hiatus at this point you know Billie Piper will always be game to come back and do a special to regenerate into whoever the proper 16th/17th Doctor is.

Its especially nice that I also like that the little 'cut scenes' do not take themselves too seriously.

I quite like the new layering of synergies. Also the cameo appearances of characters from other Indy titles is very cute plus a great way to drive some more people towards other good rouge likes. Thus far I've had my best runs with a combo of Shrooms/Mad Scientists.

It has a lot of genuinely nifty game concepts. One of the more intriguing is the idea of "spotlight" rather than a strict initiative system. Basically that people take actions as part of an encounter narrative rather than because it's their turn in the turn order. I could see this being very...

I mean you are fighting against the evil overlord Ohm Agad. How could you not be fully invested?!? (I love a game that doesn't take itself too seriously, especially when it's actually put together very well)

The actress who played Kleya is going places. She owned that character.

Watching Rogue One right afterwards and my god... the continuity elements that I didn't recognize in the series that are there is nearly without flaw. The members of the Rebellion Council, all of it ties in amazingly well. If Jimmy Smits had been able to reprise Bail Organa it would be a...

I fully realize this may be the LAST good Star Wars we get for some time. Tony Gilroy had to fight tooth and nail to get the $$ to finish the story in season 2. I would hope the quality of the end product would get Disney to commit more to serious storytelling... but that doesn't seem to be...

Fuck the Gestral Beach climbing game.

It's basically what would happen if Tetris and Carcassonne had a bastard child who was a roguelike. The basic concept is slick enough and itches the 'planning' part of my brain, but the way in which the game opens up with added buildings and such is very clever.

Plot / setting spoiler

Square Enix should be embarrassed by this game. It does what they used to be able to do before they went off the deep end. Its gorgeous and it has a story that I was not prepared for in terms of how I felt personally attacked (in a good way...) by the overarching theme.

The key to Verso for me is using the dual-attack blade that lets you take another action right after a base attack. So you base attack (with all the +base lumina active including the defenseless after base attack and the +AP for hitting defenseless) and you end up with 7-9 AP for your second...

She floats so her feet never touch the ground (though this doesn't seem to be true at all). I have her in the ridiculous Mime outfit and it makes it even more amusing.

Where the fuck did this come from?!? Absolutely no 'Basil Exposition' and you have to figure out everything via context in a good way. It has lots of 'systems' without being confusing and a top notch story. I didn't even have this on my RADAR and now it's a GOTY contender for sure.

I stumbled onto this game last year and after doing the tutorial realized that I needed to play this with real life buddies. This game has seriously good 'bones' and is amazingly fun as a co-op game. There's a lot to do to keep the ship going and good communication is essential. This is a...

It's all billed as backwards compatible with 5e, but there is more changed from 5e to 5.24e than was changed from 3 to 3.5. Most classes have huge changes to their core mechanic in ways that make them simply incompatible with the previous version. They are doing videos for each class, one a day:

I really enjoyed the first part of the season, even the Doctor-lite episodes. The finale though...what a train wreck. I get what RTD was trying to do and he even quotes The Last Jedi and Rey being 'nobody' as an influence for the whole arc, but looking back at the earlier parts of the...

It's very unpolished. I was intrigued by the notion of mystery and interconnectedness, but in reality it's just a bunch of people grinding trade skills or gang/rushing monsters using one of the worst combat systems I've seen. When a wolf chased me while I was wearing some threadbare clothes it...

How the hell is this not a new edition? Been reading various 'previews' of the changes and they are fairly comprehensive.

I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just enjoying the process of discovery. It has a very Ultima Online feel to it.

You would think after X generations of apprentices slaughtering masters that they would just stop training apprentices... Or only do so via holocron or something.

If you are the smartest person in the world and can regenerate it makes sense you'd use a lobotomy to just kick your feet up and relax at the end of a long day. Kudos to whoever thought of this idea.

Diablo IV dev: we heard how you all want a paladin or a monk type class...so have a jungle druid instead.

It's a custom character appearance you racist fuck. The game looks solid as hell

"Mothers" likely refer to the force using witches that they were born into and which the four Jedi did a My Lai massacre/coverup of. The one master killing himself rather than admitting to what he did points to it being pretty terrible. So Mai sees the Jedi as murderers who need to be...

You have one population who has spent the past 5 years screaming bloody murder that they will never watch Sci-fi again and a different population which is very appreciative of the storytelling. Is there any shock that the shows continue to drift one direction? Good news is that there is an...

It's funny because the old version you could pretty much faceroll through first pile of levels, but this newer version really makes me want to group up with people... I think they must also have hired someone who knows how to use excel as the various stats and modifiers are now VERY relevant...

I mean by the action-oriented cast of characters for companions they are clearly trying to tap some of the BG3 energy, but with a more populist Call-of-Duty vibe. We will see what the actual gameplay looks like on Tuesday.

They are relaunching in 2 days as a single player game. Online no longer required and micro transactions are gone. You can, however, play with friends co-op if you desire. It's an enjoyable enough action RPG, it just wasn't gonna cut it with currency bullshit.

This is going to be soooo bad. I have no idea what the fuck they were thinking.

Personally the idea that Jason from the Good Place is a Sith Lord is just crazy enough to make me smile

Magneto's gear this season was straight out of the comics. The late 80s and early 90s were very colorful.

The show seems to be respecting the mystery genre in that the obvious 'twists' the audience picks up on are resolved quickly. We've already heard like three different versions of what went down on that planet 16 years ago so it's clear that this is key to the whole shebang. Favorite...

https://variety.com/2024/gaming/news/atari-acquires-intellivision-brand-console-war-1236014502/ For gamers of a certain age this is epic. People not of the 80s will not appreciate the drama that was Atari vs Intellivision!
