I looooove reading these, thanks for doing them, The_Misanthrope

I've had a few come back from the dead moments like that, and they're the best part of the game, for sure.

Good point!

Good point!

Damn, sounds like I'm a bold iconoclast standing out from the pack

Five laps, eliminate to 50, 25, 10, and 2. Seems straightforward to me.

I know some people are cooler on Deltarune, or are just waiting for it to finish before playing it, but the stuff in its “No Mercy” equivalent is really interesting - in many ways, a lot uglier than what you do in Undertale, because it’s not just about dead-eyed violence.

It’s my favorite game. I remember coming across it shortly after launch and just having my jaw drop constantly at the level of writing and craft on display, over and over again. All the stuff that’s going on with its creators now is incredibly depressing.

I am a strong KOTOR 2 defender/proponent, the only reason I went with the first one is that the Mission-Zaalbar thing is my go-to thought for shit I did in a video game that made me feel genuinely awful for taking the option. 

In the first draft he was “Cats’ Elba,” but taste and decorum won out.

Look, I can’t pitch Farscape into every single one of our TV lists or my co-workers will start blocking me on Slack.

Also, I would argue that at no point is Scorpius ever redeemed, because he never actually changes - Crichton just gets better at creating situations where their interests are aligned, which is all that… Read more

In case it's not clear from the review box, the C+ is ONLY for Morrigan Manor, Exit Interview is for sure an A.

Well, Kinja decided to double-post this, so I’ll use this second comment to note that a) I don’t talk much about the third and fourth episodes because I’m trying to keep this as spoiler-light as possible, and b) if I was giving episode grades to the individual episodes in question, they’d probably go

Episode 1: A

Hi!

We had four episodes available for review, sorry for not listing in the article. Obviously, can’t speak to the quality of the second half of the season, although I’m obviously optimistic.

I’ve been playing the Arkham Horror card game with a buddy and we just did the one based on Dreams In The Witch House, don’t talk to me about fucking Brown Jenkin, Brown Jenkin can go straight to hell.

That game is bruuuuutal. I managed to beat Lu Bu after a dedicated night of playing and I was so exhausted that I just dropped it.

Weirdly, this is the second time I’ve seen someone bring up The Movies today. I remember kind of liking it back in the day, while still finding it deeply frustrating - which, admittedly, is par for the course for me for every Molyneux game except Dungeon Keeper.

I’ve been cycling through. I’m reticent to run Necro just because it’s what I did 45 levels of before release, so I want to get a wider experience. I’ve been jumping between Druid, Sorc, and Rogue. I’m also playing World Tier 2, which might explain why all these folks keep dying around Level 15.

I think the idea is the standard Shiv thing where she thought she was a genius but was only actually adequate. She gave Gil some decent advice for tussling with her father, but he only REALLY hired her for that/leverage on Logan, and it’s noted that her only actual victory was getting a liberal elected in NYC, which… Read more

It’s also a weirdly consistent touch - she doesn’t have any food when Shiv and Roman visit way back in season 1, either. It’s always very, “Oh, right, children need that to live, don’t they?”
