There was a floating chair. I thought it was a glitch, but... More importantly, it wasn't a chair. I keep forgetting about that danged crossbow. The disruptor gun is great when you get into the crew quarters. Managed to modify the shotgun to the max, which has its useful moments. I'll admit, I've gotten into the habit of every now and again it's that run back to the Hardware labs to take out the corrupted operators and get fresh repair supplies.

I've been focusing on the Human skill tree in Prey. Apart from picking up Remote Manipulation, because I couldn't be arsed waiting half an hour for an operator to turn up and unlock the Morgue....

Heh. And now the FCC is investigating Colbert over obscenity due to those insults he ran with against Trump the other week.

You can save before you hack, but that isn't an issue. At least so far all that happens if you fail a hack is the security systems zap you for a small amount of health damage, then 3 seconds later you can re-attempt the hack.

The one thing that grates on me so far in Prey... is the Hacking system. Guiding a floaty ball around a maze where every time you hit a wall the countdown timer loses extra time.. Then having a random key to press when you make it to a glowing circle. Then depending on the level of difficulty, having another glowing circle appear on the other side of the map to get your floaty ball across to...

Hm, okay, is it me or is there a distinct lack of promotion of Wonder Woman compared to the other superhero films? I've had a few people mention it but hadn't realised that it's to be released in a months time. Compared to how constant the hammering for Suicide Squad, Batman Vs Superman, and the assorted Marvel films that occurs in the several months run up to their release, it does seem a weird thing.

So the woman arrested for laughing during Jeff Sessions swearing in ceremony has been sentenced to a year in jail?

For that slightly random film trivia thing... Tor - Jodorowsky's Dune didn't get made for a reason, and we should all be grateful
