Tale

Whatever you say, Volo.

I caved and bought Fallout 4 and played it last night. I blame you jerks if I don't like it. It's interesting, but I'm not really hooked. Some high old woman who claims she sees things isn't my idea of compelling storytelling.

Anyone far enough along to get a sense of the level scaling? How bad does it seem to be? I thought Fallout 3's scaling made the game a virtually unplayable chore at high levels. A problem shared with Oblivion and only reduced with Skyrim.

I had some of that a few weeks ago. It tasted like a flat root beer with some alcohol mixed in. Wasn't impressed. Like something I could make myself with Barqs and cheap vodka.

Yeah, there's been rumors about Fallout 4 dropping to low FPS on PS4 for a few days now. Sucks. I wasn't in a hurry to get it as it was, but I wanted to be optimistic overall.

With every new piece of footage revealed, an earlier leak looks more and more accurate. So, if you care about spoilers, be careful. To note though: the earlier leak did not reveal everything. But what it specifically hid might still be considered a spoiler by some.

Also happened in Cataclysm. Everyone's running off to fight the new baddies when Garrosh sees some Alliance. He just drops everything to attack the Alliance for no reason, all hell ensues. Then there was the nuking of Theramore that occured right before Pandaria.

What, a World of Warcraft scene where the Horde aren't stupidly backstabbing the Alliance for no reason? That must be fanmade.

The rage is strong with Mariokart, excellent.

What kind of games? Board games? Competitive multiplayer? Cards Against Humanity? Whatever strikes the fancy at the time.

Ahh, the modern horoscope that is personality tests. PERSONALITY: ISFJ ("THE DEFENDER") VARIANT: ASSERTIVE ROLE: SENTINEL STRATEGY: CONFIDENT INDIVIDUALISM

I haven't watched any Star Wars movie since that last time I tried to get through special edition RotJ and got to the awful musical number. Shut it off and never looked back. Clone Wars cartoon had good stuff in it, though. And hopefully so will this new one.

Holy crap! I got one of those "this is windows tech support, if you check your computer you will find errors" calls today! I didn't know that scam was still running. I didn't have the patience to deal with them too long though.

I'm looking forward to the Bloodborne expansion. And the next Star Wars. That's probably it for the year.

I didn't get that conflict in the leaked clip. I didn't get any conflict, to be honest. Which is the boring part.

So six years? You'll have to forgive me, I'm not good at metric-imperial conversion. Edit: Okay, I just watched the teaser. Felt like Hobbit outtakes.

The preview footage from a convention, maybe Blizzcon, that leaked a while back was somewhere at the intersection of creepy and boring. Because nothing says sympathetic characters like casual ritual sacrifice.

Meat bags and blood everywhere. Whelp, passing.

Divinity: Original Sin on PS4. I'm really liking it, but it's NANOWRIMO so not sure if I'll have more time.

I can't hear you over the sound of all my foes going crazy and shooting each other.

That used to be my dominant theory, but now I think Kylo Ren and Rey might be cousins, not siblings.

Yeah, Luke Skywalker is clearly Captain Phasma.

I think so. It doesn't change the fact that they gave us the runaround for a year and a half (and counting) and that they prioritized console versions (a smart decision from a purely business standpoint) over fulfilling their belated Kickstarter duties. Off topic: I bought Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition for the PS4 yesterday. I may have also done this. I'm hooked more than I was with Wasteland's start. I think I just prefer Fantasy to Post-Apocalypse.

This may be the most important question you are asked today. Is Divinity Original Sin worth $60? Is it that much better than Wasteland 2?

You and me are enemies for life. To this day I can only think of the story as being Survivor: Star Wars edition with a bad guy who is the beach bully from those old mail order workout routine ads. I don't know what that dude's problem was, but killing people I met 5 minutes ago is just being petty.
