@Thursday Next Maybe it's like Rock, Paper, Scissors?

That's what always happens to me if I try to play a Bethesda RPG after launch; I end up spending a few hours getting the mods just how I want them (especially the visual mods) and lose interest in actually playing the game.

I don't know that they'd sanitize him for his own movies, but I think it would create issues in any crossover movies.

... I don't get it.

I just knew that basically any time there's a CGI character in a movie it's played by him.

I did not know that.

Yes, yes you should.

Hmmm, what games do I want sequels to...

I agree it looks kind of Ropey, but isn't Andy Sirkis mainly an actor? It's not like he's the one making the CG.

Yes, never fear resurrecting threads.

Welcome Brian! Take a look around, kick off your shoes!

Yeah, I knew there was a fear mechanic from the item description, but apparently my character was brave as fuck because it never impacted me.

I was playing Rage, and moderately enjoying it, but then I got to the first town. See, the guy who'd rescued me at the beginning needed supplies, and sent me to go pick them up. Fine. I get to the town and am told to go talk to the Mayor. Fine. Go talk to him, he says I have to go to the clothing store to get some regular clothes so I don't stand out. Fine. Go get the clothes, go back, Mayor now says I have to go get a garage for my vehicle. Fine. Go talk to the garage guy, he sets me up. Go back to the Mayor, who says I'm good to go, go talk to the sheriff to pick up the supplies. Fine. Go talk to the sheriff, he says he won't give me the supplies until I get some weapons on my vehicle, otherwise he might as well just donate them to the bandits, so he sends me to the mechanic to get some weapons. Fine. Go talk to the mechanic, he says he doesn't take cash, just "racing certificates" from the local racing syndicate, so I have to win some races to get him to work on my vehicle... That's where I said "screw it" and quit playing. I have no idea what asinine errand the racing guy was going to send me on before letting me race, and I don't care. That whole chain is just godawful quest design. Now I'm replaying Tomb Raider 2013, and enjoying it just as much as the first time. I don't remember the screen getting dark when there were enemies nearby...

That looks like fun.

I want those slippers.

Rage is $2.72 on Green Man Gaming after all the discounts, cheap enough for me to buy it based purely on curiosity.

So like Halo 2?

Top-down is like the one aspect of the leaks that I don't mind.

Apparently the Switch Pokemon is a kind-of remake of Pokemon Yellow, set back in Kanto, and has Pokemon Go integration. The two versions are called Pokemon Let's Go! Pikachu and Pokemon Let's Go! Eevee. It's like they designed it to make me less interested. Source: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-05-16-pokemon-switch-set-in-kanto-starring-pikachu-and-eevee-leaks-suggest

Fandoms in general are pretty terrible, especially for anything long-running.

Looks like fun. I never played the first Rage, maybe I should give it a shot.

I loved Diddy Kong Racing, but have no memory of it having a story...

Apparently there are other sources of >340 gear, like the Nightfall, Flashpoint challenge, etc. So you can get it without having to do the raid. It is bizarre though that the Heroic Strike playlist doesn't drop higher level stuff, hopefully they'll change that.

Destiny 2 Just finished the campaign, obviously there's a lot more game left. I actually really liked the campaign though, it was way better than the Destiny 1 campaign. I'm really glad I waited until after the Go Fast update though. Cooldowns feel okay to me now, but if they were much slower oh my God it would be frustrating. I ended up playing with a controller even though I'm on PC because sitting in front of the TV is just so much better than playing at my desk. Sacrilege, I know, and I was worried I'd be the weak link in any team, but actually in the strikes I've done I've been up with the best players in terms of kills/precision kills/assists/etc, so I guess I didn't have anything to worry about.
