Luckily had a storm pass through here that caused the humidity to break and cleared the air a bit. They say we're in for a mild summer, I sure hope so, 40 C with humidity and smog isn't my idea of a good time - yet some people strangely love it.

What bait and switch ? Pretty much have only been talking about Doom.

"Deus Ex's freeze-and-strategize tactics" What ?

So you guys don't care about who portrays who in a movie. Regardless of gender, race and its source material? Where did you pull that from ? Doom is really suited for a lazy switch like that as there's no character to be tied to. Mars, demons and the BFG are things more "sacred" than the PC who is just a silent mobile gun mount.

Well they did flesh out BJ in the newer games. I don't think the Doom guy got much in the new one other than killing lots of stuff to ****ty music, but I did not play it.

DoomGuy was an actual element? Hm, ok.

ICE won't be a fan of that.

A bit STARSHIP TROOPER, innit? Marine Corps will need their own though.

Well in the case of Doom, nothing is being destroyed.

Seems like classic England

How would you feel about dwarf Nazis in Wolfenstein ?

Hopefully the Doom movie uses proper metal, not whatever that crap they used in 2016 game was.

Works for games, why not movies

Could be, usually have heard people talk about it from a social science POV, granted is the usual Internet nattering. Given the source material, who cares is probably fitting, Doom doesn't exactly have much to disrespect w.r.t it's plot and setting (Carmack's famous quote applies).

Should be the losing screen in XCOM.

No idea, never took social sciences. But when it comes to Doom, just that the change is really meaningless, all you need is hands for the guns and a voice to grunt with Wonder who'd think a movie about a guy solo'ing the legions of hell would be interesting for a movie, though

Well, if it is Lara or Max it is different than silent faceless Doom or Quake guy. They need to make a Diablo film, though

Doesn't seem like much of a problem. No character to begin with, no? Realism certainly won't be an issue considering the source material

Usual greenhorn vs grognard type crap, as always.

Was good to see Reus at last

Germany playing awful. Lucky to get out of the group

Well they didn't lose, a point against Argentina is great

Iceland getting it done
