People really think the guy with a chain of hotels with his name on, a fucking tower to himself is anti-establishment? But yeah, adds the final jigsaw piece on remarks I've seen, of which mainly in relation to his postings. Which did make it seem like how Thursday has presented it

What swamp needs draining? I've understood enough that I don't think there's a physical swamp that is being talked about, like in some large scale "lets creating farm land" kinda project, but metaphorical. just what I'm unclear of.

codename what?

It's about as long as a regular Civ game, but without the advantage of a computer doing most of the math for you. It's also quite massive.

Wait did you introduce them to Civ V, or did you introduce them to the Civ Board Game cos if so....you're pretty dang cruel.

I'll point out I suggested Marvel Heroes. Which runs fine.

Slight flaw in their plan of "proving monsters exist": The big ass fight between Godzilla and Mutos. Though I guess this might be set beforehand, I'd guess maybe Vietnam war era (based on the music, the olde-timey slides at the start n helicopters)

Mainly my sis above you guys, I'm sure you'd be fine with that. tbh given she likes PvZ n those crappy sherlock games I'm sure there'll be a bunch free.

hohohoho. So I've built up a bit of a collection of keys on HIB either through not been games I've an interest in, stuff that I've gotten from earlier bundles or I've got on other platforms or what not so: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_x8sOaGkPTNFEzj1BquFbEKp7NpOe9Q4ZIuPupCw_6E/edit?usp=sharing You guys are a couple rungs down on dibs mind, but I'll take requests. There's a bunch of Desura keys I have too, but I think that's kinda closed. I know it's sorta reopened but I doubt they'll be honouring keys from HIBs of years past.

http://i.imgur.com/3X1UEag.gifv So in the whole "it plays mostly like an ARPG though the warping is the big difference" this is a good example of that. Also has Air Step ability here too I'd guess (it's like one of the first ascensions you can get so pretty likely). Also I love the animation for lances (which he uses at the end).

Oh it's flashy as hell, really pretty combat. I'd say the only thing it has in common with XIII is only controlling the one main party member, though that's where it ends and thankfully unlike XIII you don't game over if Noctis dies as long as you've enough phoenix downs to keep going. Which looks cool btw. It's much closer to XII out of the two, the whole battles within the overworld stuff, and each sort of lump of enemies treat as a battle (you get XP and graded on performance at the end...which I guess the grading is a thing XIII did too). My understanding is there's a sort of gambit system in there, though not as comprehensive as XII had. Otherwise it plays much closer to an ARPG. Dragons Dogma I guess is a close comparison in having a party where you control one dude n you're hacking n slashing. I've not played Kingdom Hearts but a lot of people compare it closer with those, which makes sense given the team is mostly from KH games.

It's pretty usual ARPG fare with attacks of various strength (augmented with having different weapons, with different speed, stagger, strength abilities), and your dodge, roll n counter attack stuff. The additions to these are the warping, which lets you warp sort of out of battle to recover, and warp in causing extra damage, you can (on bigger creatures) target specific points, allowing you to, for example, lop off horns or limbs or what not. You can also command your party to do certain actions and also link with them for certain attacks too. The magic acts more like grenades, with a bit of Rikkus "mix" stuff in that you craft your magic spells before hand fusing several elements and able to use items to so potions would help create a spell that heals your guys while setting enemies on fire. There's other magic available too through the Ring of Lucii but that's sort of end-game stuff (they've shown off "Death" for example). There's also the summons, but not much is known on how those will work in combat. While Ramuh shows up in the Duscae demo if you hit 0HP it's guessed that won't always be the case n they'll be much more special n limited than in prior games.

they gonna patch out the dicks too? Just a guy in an alley in the nude, pissing and looking like alan rickman in dogma. Anywho I'd say the issue is less with having the in-game nudists and more the whole in-game camera to take photo of in-game vaginas to post using the built-in tweeting n using that as a basis for a suspension.

I believe it's closer to 72 in-game hours, which'd be closer to around 90 minutes in real world time. It's meant to be a more extreme creature to tackle similar to Yiazmat in FFXII, and I believe something similar in FFXI or FFXIV.

Seems Mark Hamill is doing a youtube series with DC, could be quite interesting. First episode is good sign so far. also TIL that it was 28 votes that cinched it for Robin dying. (they show the alternative ending of Death in the Family)

American comedy in general doesn't really grab me. Loud noises n funny noises kinda stuff (like especially the stuff at the start).

I'm not a fan of the segment but I guess some are or they wouldn't continue doing it. This I can't embed but it's pretty damn sweet example of combat against bigger creatures: https://twitter.com/owariKUDO/status/798229980404654080 Gotta say the range you can have with the warping is much larger than I'd have first thought. And damn is the blizzard spell shown here pretty dang sweet (even if the AoE cripples the party )

I probably know a few folks worked on it too (since Reflections seem to be the go to Ubisoft studio for farming out bits of work for like all the ubi games). It's certainly on my to-play list but not for a while yet. This month is killer, already having to watch Dishonored 2 go by as well so I can pick up FFXV.

https://www.engadget.com/2016/11/15/designed-by-apple-in-california-photo-book/ If the latest Macbooks were a bit richly priced for you then there's a more affordable Apple Book coming out for $300. Features realistic page turning, innovative iPaper design, and apart from a foreword seemingly no words which err...yeah it's a picture book. A $300 coffee table book, rather than an actual design book for students as Ive seems to want it to be.

So Watch_Dogs 2 features nudists n women with crotchless panties. And if you screenshot n share them through PS4 then you get a short PSN suspension http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-11-15-watch-dogs-2-full-frontal-nudity-can-get-you-banned-from-psn

I was gonna make a complaint on last post about them just seemingly having an exoskeleton, and not wearing armour but hey that's changed so good. But otherwise no more "alien" than Krogans or err ...Garrus people.

They even have two eyes. And butt cheeks. I mentioned on Twitter something like the mimics would be a cool enemy, but animation would always be an issue. I'm always confused by how so many have difficulty creating "alien" species when we have such a wealth of inspiration to draw from here at home. Last of Us for example managed to create a unique looking enemy over the usual zombie look by drawing from the real life cordyceps.
