Please Don't Tell My Parent's I'm a Supervillain An entertaining YA read, about the young daughter of a pair of retired heroes, who stumbles into her own Mad Scientist powers and along with her two friends end up being mistaken for breakthrough Supervillains. Every time they try to correct that view, things go slightly askew and they get seen as even better Supervillains. Some interesting world building and characters, and a setup where the heroes and villains have a nice set up of "rules and conduct of behaviour". Those who break it, (especially by making it personal) tend to end up facing a couple of the villains or heroes who ensure there's an "accidental" death when they next get into a fight...

I'd have to argue the point with GTA3 on upwards. While people could go on mass civilian killing sprees, they were never the point of the game or actively encouraged as part of the story or gameplay. Rival/Random gangs, criminal groups, and the like yes. But the civilians that were walking around were more bystanders to the rampages then targets.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Hm, well for the minor one http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/en/pc/games/strategy/civilization-beyond-earth/ But when I picked up Shadows of Mordor that was £5 cheaper for the physical copy from amazon then to buy the digital download version. Watch Dogs was about the same price difference as a physical copy then digital. http://www.game.co.uk/en/sid-meiers-civilization-beyond-earth-307495?pageSize=20&searchTerm=Civilisation http://www.game.co.uk/en/sid-meiers-civilization-beyond-earth-293671?pageSize=20&searchTerm=Civilisation (okay, that's only £1 difference, but I've seen more) http://www.game.co.uk/en/dragon-age-inquisition-293375?catGroupId There's a classic, £10 less to pre-order the physical copy then to get the digital copy.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
So, any idea why these days it seems as if the digital download copies of games when they're released are now more expensive then the physical copies? For pretty much all the major releases in the last 6 months or so I've noticed that trend.- What's on the idiot box... Part 3

I thought we craved horror movies because it was a great way to get an arm around your date at the cinema or when watching them on the couch with her?- Kaine Parker's Pretty Woman

.. oh grarg. Last week or so I kept getting the "couldn't synch to cloud properly" so I was assuming my saves were as normal going to my hd. Then I boot up Wastelands after the patch and get a "oh, there's a difference between your cloud saves and your hd saves, which should be updated?" , thinking of all those error messages about synching, I selected for the hd saves to be the ones that were correct. Now I seem to have lost all my saves since the infected village in Arizona- Constantine
They have pretty much said that the girl is gone about 4 or 5 episodes in. So while she's in that first episode more for the "I have no idea what's going on, please explain things to me" role for the audience, and then seemed to be the main reason for "monster of the week", it looks like there's going to be a switch off to something else.- What's on the idiot box...

Hm, they've done a second season of The Transporter. They've got Chris Vance playing Frank Martin and it's one of those Candian / French co-productions. They definitely have the European feel to most of it, with some entertaining car sequences, some slightly rough fight sequences, a few smugly amusing lines, and pretty much one casual boob shot an episode I've noticed.- The Funny Things Thread
Heh, I still remember getting slammed for the "inherent sexism and gang nature" of AD&D books and gaming. That and the DM who could still regale the younger players with how things had hammered the "satanic worship" aspect when he just got into RPG's. I guess that's part of why I find some amusement in those sorts of things.- The Funny Things Thread
