No-one ever asked the question "What would Voyager be like with more BDSM, leather costumes, and Muppets" but Farscape answered it.

The first episode of National Geographic's Mars mini-series. Interesting. On the one hand, it's that sci-fi dramatization of the first human crew arriving on Mars in 2033 and the attempts at setting up a colony. At the same time, it's trying to be as scientifically accurate about all the technical details it can, and interspersing it with moments of looking back at the history - that is to say, documentary style interviews from various folks in 2016. Said moments being real Elon Musk, SpaceX, International Space Agency experts, the cutting edge university groups working on space propulsion and colonisation theories, et all. So that flip between 2033 fiction, and 2016 non-fiction all bound together.

What I'm trying to decide about Dishonored2 is just whether to class it as tricky, or twisted to technically offer up a way to bypass a couple of hours of gameplay by letting you as the player solve a riddle. Said riddle randomises each playthrough, so you can't just look up the answer. But solving the riddle is basically an extended logic grid that'll take most people an hour of hard brain work as it is.... I shall chuckle to myself over the studio putting that one in.

In light of the new Beauty and the Beast film...

Edit: Hm, it's always fun when the picture gets squeezed out of proportion...

I started with the Disfavoured but then betrayed them midway through Act 2. Something about burning the library, and the Archon of War was annoying me with how much he was taking me for granted since I kept pulling off stuff his elite troops couldn't.

I suppose, if you were to reach for a bit... This fabulously wealthy entrepreneur (possibly encouraged by Anderson and/or the Illusive Man) takes Shepherds warnings seriously after Sovereigns attack on the Citadel. Following Shepherds death, they form this up as an idea to not have all the eggs in one basket and establish colonies outside of the galaxy and thus potentially safe from any Reapers or what have you. They use the two years following Shepherds death to start this all, and around the time that someone is assaulting the Collector's base (or shortly thereafter) they head out and go extra-galactic... It might be reaching for the fluff, but its a possible reasoning for it all.

Yup, replayed act 3 from the start, got Tunon's allegiance at the end.. and then nada. Still can't get an end game to come into motion.

Thought I'd give a quick spin on Tyranny to redo Act 3 from the beginning (since its such a short one) and see if it glitches again on letting me end the game.. Only to have it crash when I talk to a companion on the spire before starting out. I'm wondering if Tyranny actually wants to let me finish it properly.

When a friend complains about the spam that they're getting... And your first response is to find, then send them a link of Monty Python's Spam scene....

Thanks for the suggestions, but natch. There's nothing clickable for me north of the Stone Sea area. And the only thing on my quest log still showing is the "Final Hunt" under the primary, and that's all greyed out as I've done all the parts to it. Hm, so I'm guessing that either this clickable declare war is really, really minute and hidden well.. or something glitched in Act 3.

Absolutely. Really liked that one even as I originally dismissed it as just a romantic fairy tale starring Claire Danes. To be fair, it's also a story by Neil Gaiman....
