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...

Normally when I see a trailer I click the link. See that it is watermarked to shit with "FilmTrailers" or whatever, pause the video, search for the studios own channel, then search through their recent uploads so I can watch a version without obnoxious logos in the corners, adverts in the middle of the trailer, and watermarks.

The G-Tech air ram has headlights. (Not that it isn't a weird feature mind).

I've had PSVR from launch. Games worth getting that I found to have zero motion sickness are Batman Arkham VR (great game), I Expect You To Die (also great), Psychonauts (the new VR one) and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (great for parties). Eve Valkyrie has low/medium motion sickness. Rigs is medium. The absolute worst game I've played for motion sickness is Here They Lie, can't do more than 10-15 mins before having to bail out. My personal hypothesis is that cognitive dissonance causes sickness. No motion = no dissonance = no sickness in stationary games. Since I have no frame of reference for flying around in space I have low dissonance so low sickness in space shooty sims. For walking/running/driving around I'm not getting the physical / gforce effect that my eyes tell me I should and which my body is used to so I start to feel queasy. Could be bollocks though... who knows?

I hate when I'm trying to find a new trailer and the first 3 million pages of youtube are MovieClip, MovieTrailers TrailerClips and so on re-ups with a shitty watermark. I know it doesn't make a difference, but I want to view the original trailer from its original source.

Gods he's such an unmitigated prick it is unbelievable.

Also enjoying that after Trump surprise fired Comey, they surprise appointed the Special Councel[sic].

Special Counsel appointment... "announcement apparently took the White House by surprise, with Mr Trump only being informed of it after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had signed the order." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39957358 What goes around comes around motherfucker.

Atlus could have patented certain aspects of the menu system if they were unique. Bioware did that with the conversation menu. But otherwise, yeah, those aren't normally protectable things.

Really confident in their early work? Or mired in dev-hell?
