Oh, I never loaded the game again after finishing the story.

You can see your percentage?

The Last Guardian, and I am seriously fucking torn on how I feel about this. On the one hand it is a terrible, terrible game. Just atrocious. It is miserable to play. I cannot oversell how not good this is as a game. The performance is awful, fps in the teens and twenties the entire time. The controls are horrendous, without nearly the precision necessary to accomplish what the game asks of you. The puzzles are obtuse and stupid. Everything about playing this game is bad and unfun. On the other hand, it's fucking compelling as shit, and Trico is the best/most convincing character I have ever seen in any game ever. I seriously love that griffin like I love my own cats. It's amazing, he just has such personality. Of course that's also a downside when you need him to advance and he's just not doing what you need. (Seriously, when a walkthrough just says "wait for Trico to do this thing, be patient, it could take a while" that's just bad game design.) I want to say this would have been better as a movie, but I don't think I would have nearly the attachment to Trico that I do if it were, so in that sense the game format definitely served it. I think where I'm coming down is that I'm glad I experienced it, but I will never put myself through that bullshit ever again.

I disagree with that, but hey, preferences! I do agree that it would have been better with maybe 8 dungeons instead of 4 (maybe separated into two classes, not all being Divine Beasts), and actually having a final dungeon, but I like the approach overall.

ftfy It's not that it does things that have never been done before, it's that it does them so amazingly well.

Yeah, Trump's now saying it failed because the Democrats didn't support it. You made no effort to write a bill that they might support, nor did you make any effort to convince them to support it. Your party has enough votes in both houses to pass it without a single Democratic vote in support. It is not their fault you can't even deal with your own party.

They've pulled the bill because there aren't enough votes to pass it, despite the fact that they have the presidency and majorities in both houses. Republicans have just proved they are incapable of governing. Hooray!

I think the digital picture frame with the box art sounds like a pretty good solution. It would be a little bit of work to set up in the first place, but it shouldn't be hard to maintain as long as you just add new games to it as you get them.

I'm hoping that the "expansion" this fall will be more story focused.

Yes, they respawn. I recommend keeping the reliable way handy, but only using it when you actually need to kill one because you can't get away from it for whatever reason. You'll also find another reliable way that doesn't do quite so effective a job but is much much less resource intensive.

Death Mountain spoiler: Follow-up spoiler for once you're actually on Death Mountain proper:

I didn't mean to say that I thought "everything in science" is reinforced in Dr. Strange so much as it's been established in the rest of the universe (see Thor), and I didn't see anything in Dr. Strange to contradict it. Maybe that will change in the future, but as of right now my assumption in the MCU is just like my assumption in real life: everything is science.

Spoiler for Master Sword location: Spoiler for unique weapons:

I should have said "particularly sexist for Japanese media".

I watched the anime and don't remember it striking me as particularly sexist...

Yeah, we always get shitty sales compared to EU.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China Not the greatest game ever made but I enjoyed it. Midway between "it was okay" and "I liked it". Solid 3.5 stars.

They had 98% positive with 356 ratings, I thought I was safe.

Fucking seller cancelled my goddamn fucking orders. *Edit - I reordered The Last Guardian for $8 more but fuck it, I want it, and it's fulfilled by Amazon so I'll have it Thursday and not get jerked around. The cheapest copies of Horizon are $58 now though so fuck that, I'll wait. The thing that pisses me off the most is that if the seller cancels your order you can't leave feedback, so I can't even give the fuckers a 1-star rating.

Can't remember where I read it, but I heard the animation described as "like some animator's pet project that the team didn't have the heart to cut".

I thought they said they made it better, because they knew people hated it in ME2? The fucking liars!
