I just wrapped up my MD run through. It was. an underwhelming ending for me. And then the unskippable/fastfowardable 30 minutes of end credits with a "hidden" cutscene of illuminati meeting in the middle. The whole "1 week later" and variant news stories depending on things you'd done was a nice touch, including that sneak about how Silhouette forms in Paris. But on a whole.. it didn't have a real feel of an ending to me. And after all the various ways to get things done, the conversations you could have rather than fights, they stuck you in a big room for a boss fight.

That and if you don't aim for headshots, the darts are meant to take a few seconds to kick in. So if they are close to other people it gets noticed. Which just means you're always taking time to headshot people with the darts...

Also, just a very funky chair.

Okay, maybe this deserves more to be in the funny thread but...

I'm sure that could fit on the funny things thread....

Tor - Hamlet makes more sense as an out of control D&D campaign...

Ah. The shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSYZekLljpg

Edit:

Re-watched Odd Thomas. A very good adaption of a book, and a whole heap of well done performances for that quirky story. The ending of it always pulls the heart strings. Now with the added reminder that 2016 has been a really sucky year since we'll no longer see how far Anton Yelchin would have gone.

Eh, no doubt folks are getting tired of internet lists and all, but to escape from the sad of Gene Wilder's death, here's one list on tv shows that reminded me of some good thoughts. io9 - 10 Best out of genre episodes of genre tv

Its kind of funny and sad at the same time...

To be fair, the microtransactions for the game aren't in your face or something you casually stumble across in-game. It's pretty much a specific part of the main menu outside the game. Which I think is about the only saving grace of putting them in a single player game like that.

Hm, I find myself in a weird balancing act of both liking and disliking the way they've set this story and the hubs. There really is only the Prague hub, and everything that's non-Prague is more single mission rather than hub-tastic. On the one hand, it's nice to revisit Prague and see how it changes as the story progresses and you get a slight grasp on fallout depending on certain choices you make early in the game, on the other hand I kind of miss that feel of world travel and having fresh hubs to explore and find side-quests and get in touch with the locals.

I think the worst is with Miller. The combination of the voice acting and the bad face animation seems to leave most combinations with your "boss" as very odd.
