Contrary to GOH's advice I went ahead and started playing Mad Max. It's quite pretty at 4k.

Patreon might be a good idea just because then you don't have to rely on people remembering to donate, they just set up a recurring one.

Just watched Zootopia. Obviously the racism aspects were not even remotely subtle, but I did like that it was deeper than just the bunny overcoming the prejudices against her, there were layers to it.

Scratch Shadowrun Returns off my list. I liked it quite a bit. I had been planning to tackle Mad Max next, but now I'm considering jumping right in to Dragonfall, especially since I've heard that's even better. My main hesitation is that I have also been planning to replay DXHR before MD comes out and I don't want to burn myself out on cyberpunk RPGs.

I thought it looked interesting. I'm tired of zombies but at least it's a different tack.

It's the same thing in the US, the poorest states that receive more in federal funding than they pay in taxes are the ones that complain the most about federal overspending and taxation.

When you summon the wolf he will hang around until he dies (he has however many hearts you finished the special TPHD dungeon with, unless you haven't done it in which case he has 3), and then you can't summon him again until the next IRL day. I don't know what happens if you summon him and then while he's still alive you save and quit. The only command they've revealed so far is a come command. They haven't said that there are others, but they also haven't said there aren't. Seems to me the best way to prevent him spoiling your sneak attacks would be to give you an attack command and for him to not run in until the enemies have aggroed on you or you issue the command.

Dany is an accepted short form of her name.

http://www.retroist.com/2010/11/08/1978-style-star-wars-spoilers/ Yeah he said it would be in the third movie, and mentioned a Star Wars 4, but he also said it's revealed in the midst of a lightsaber battle between the two. Hardly seems like just a coincidence, more like minor script changes.

Also leaking both that Darth Vader was Luke's dad and that Darth Vader died in Jedi.

Exit polls are showing 54%/46% in favor of stay. Though obviously that outcome's not guaranteed. Yeah, having more than two choices is so nice. Wait...

Just to lock in the low price, in case it goes up. But beyond that I don't actually care to preorder it earlier than like a day before release.

Hmm, didn't realize they do preorders. Do they charge immediately or do they wait till it's delivered? @Dean: Yeah I didn't feel like we were shouting either, but sometimes other people think I come across as more aggressive/hostile than I intend so I just went with it.

As much as I loved them as a kid, I don't think the sonic games were ever good. Except Generations.

In our defense we had a perfectly friendly parallel exchange about whether I should preorder Mankind Divided with GMG's current 23% off voucher.

You mean the Democratic representatives, not the senators.

Dean is our resident Spaniard.

Or for the sake of playing.

Welcome! Look around, we have several platform-specific boards with some general topics and game-specific threads, as well as a board for general game chat and a few off-topic boards. I promise we don't bite!

I just want to add that I absolutely love the term "electronic persons".

There's a proposal in the European Parliament's committee on legal affairs to establish a legal framework for "electronic persons" http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-robotics-lawmaking-idUSKCN0Z72AY?utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=576996e504d3010bc51b5ca3&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter Seems pretty ridiculous at first, but from reading the article it seems like really the point is establishing things like who is responsible when a robot goes haywire and hurts someone or causes property damage. Obviously that's going to be an issue for self-driving cars, this would just be broader so it would cover robots in all kinds of situations. There's also stuff like potentially requiring companies to pay in social security for their robots too, not to benefit the robots but because of concern that work will become progressively harder for humans to obtain and they need a social safety net.

Rock is OP. Have you tried switching to paper? No, I main scissors. Not directed at anyone in here, the thing with Bastion just made me think of it.

That's intense.
