Wait wait wait... "Half fast"?
-
I also thought it was dragging a bit, agree that I'd like to see it wrapped up in 30 episodes tops. I liked the Mr Wednesday reveal, though I have no idea who it was for, as Dean says, probably (hopefully) not the viewers as that was really evident from the first episode although maybe that's because I know about Odin from everything from Final Fantasy summons to Marvel films, to (obviously) the book and I'm just being elitist.

Rolling? Like with a wired headset on? You are either brave, minted, or quite quite mad.

Yeah, in this instance I really think choosing a voice actor of colour would have been the best way to go. Laura is never short of VO work, so not like she is gonna starve off one missed opportunity, sure she'd be annoyed about it, and rightly so, but bigger picture would be better off for more minorities in games behind the scenes... Also, the comments are really shitty on that article "Darth Vader was white and voiced by a black guy, so this is totally fine." ffs...

This looks like an... Ace... game for PSVR.

Ahhh Mr. GOH! I'm delighted that the funeral pyre of our economy will brighten your day. I'm still desperately clinging to the hope that May's government won't last anything like a full year, let alone five, we can then kick the negotiations with Europe off again, reset the clock, and maybe just try and spin this one out with bureaucracy forever like the USA does with moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
-
Wow... Agreed. That is an interesting uncomfortable casting decision. Surprised I missed that controversy first time around.
-
I figured that would be how they did it... Like when in old AC games you tried to assassinate an enemy in normal combat. I don't really like it tbh, I don't see how it makes the game more fun.

I don't think Tim Farron lacks conviction. I think that he thinks gay sex is a sin, but at the same time I think that he respects that people have the right to do stuff that he doesn't agree with. I mean that's essentially the Liberal ethos right? You're free to do what you want (within legal limits), I'm free to think what I want about what you do, you're free to ignore me, etc. So long as we are all free and equal that is what is important. Tim's voting record shows that he holds to liberal views of freedom and equality, even when he is given a free vote or is the boss and can do what he wants (in theory). I think Tim stepping down is because his religion is an exposed weak point for the Lib Dems and come the next election (which will probably be sooner than later) the party want a leader who won't be so easy to attack on that front.

I can see a weakness in this argument in so far as there is nothing preventing a blocked individual from creating another account and following Trump. How inconvenient does the government have to make access before it becomes a constitutional issue?
-
Bushido Blade was good for its time. Yeah, I'm not necessarily saying that everything should be a one hit kill, just that stealth assassinations should be. I assume that rather than the assassination taking off a chunk of health you'll just get caught out by a higher level enemy and the assassination will fail. But still, it will diminish that feeling of being an assassin I think... We'll see I guess.
-
I'm with Ethan on the stealth takedown stuff. If sneaking up on someone and driving a spike into their neck is going to not kill them due to some arbitrary red number floating over their head, it's just going to diminish the Assassin-y feel I think.
-
But X Box One X spells "XBOX"... I can't wait for the X Box One X Overclocked New Edition.
-
True AG is far less egregious for it, and is way more balanced. I think that the GoT sexposition stuff has made her hypersensitive to nudity in general, which is a shame cos it means that there's a lot of great TV that we can't watch together.
-
Twin Peaks is excellent weirdness, if you enjoyed the original series you'll enjoy this. I'm enjoying AG too. Ian McShane is great as Wednesday. Only downside is the continuing obsession with these big dramas of showing nude women (and it is almost always women) when it is wholly unnecessary. I don't need to see boobs flopping everywhere to get that people are having sex. I don't need a woman to be standing around naked counting money to get that she is a sex worker who has just concluded her business. It's not prudishness, it's just boredom with the crassness of it all. The only thing it achieves is that my gf will a) Not watch these shows with me and/or b) Get very pissy with me for watching them.
-
Anyone watching Twin Peaks or American Gods?
-
Long shot, but you could try Sqeenix Customer Services to swap for the correct version?
-
Finished Psychonauts again this week. The last level (in particular the netting you have to climb) is super frustrating. I find it odd that for a game that is otherwise brilliant in its breadth, depth, story telling and gameplay that it has such an awful section in its finale.
-
May have to get this so me, my dad and my sister can play.
-
I'm reading the book for the first time and watching in tandem. In the book I'm at: Just watched the Laura episode last night. She's not a very sympathetic character is she? Ian McShane is predictably brilliant as Wednesday.
-
You won't be getting the big third party titles on the switch. a) Nintendo owners normally have another console for those games. b) The switch doesn't have the horsepower. It, like every other Nintendo console, is almost exclusively for playing Nintendo games. (Which is fine).
-
Using a single joycon for Mario Kart was hideous. I feel like I would need a Switch XL.
-
All the joycons are great for small children. They are fucking awful for a grown adult. I've not held a more fiddly and uncomfortable controller in my life and I've owned a NES, a Game Gear, a DS, a PSP and a Vita so feel I have some experience with cramp inducing controllers.
-
Woah, that is pretty esoteric. Thanks for the explainer.

I don't get dean's joke...
