Oerwinde

Like 10 years ago I bought a membership for Something Awful. Made 3 posts. One of which was in a "google image search your name and post the result!" thread. Turns out remote linking was a banable offense. Worst 5 bucks I ever spent.

I would like a game based on the Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards album by Gloryhammer. Dwarves, knights, and evil wizards, riding robot dragons through space, all to a power metal soundtrack.

I'll be honest I love superhero comics, I grew up on reading Legion of Super Heroes and Justice League but the only series I have ever watched is Daredevil and I enjoyed it So I have never watched Flash, Arrow or Supergirl or any other series. What would people say are there favorites and what would you recommend...compared to Daredevil Flash is really good, its much more fun, less serious than Daredevil. It was a spinoff of Arrow. Arrow was DC trying to do a Dark Knight version of Green Arrow. First half of season one was kinda bland, but it picked up, and the quality went up a lot when they started adding more outlandish comic-booky stuff. Thats when they decided to do the Flash show, which has all the outlandish villains and fun stuff. Legends of Tomorrow isn't quite living up to its potential, but is still good. It struggles because it can't decide if it wants to be a serialized show or an episodic one, the premise is ideal for a serialised show, as they have a clear goal, a singular villain, etc. but the stories about them going about trying to stop the villain are more or less unrelated from week to week. Supergirl is another Greg Berlanti show (he does all the CW DC stuff), so it has a similar tone to Flash, but black underwear model Jimmy Olsen just pisses me off. Going the Marvel Cinematic Universe route, Jessica Jones is really good. Its the other Netflix series. Just as serious, if not more, but more brightly lit. Its less of an action show and more of a psychological thriller/noir tale. Agents of SHIELD took off and has pretty much maintained its quality after the second half of season 1. All 3 of these take place in the same universe as the movies, Agents of SHIELD being the one tied most closely to the movies (Sif, Nick Fury, and Maria Hill have all made cameos). Agent Carter is fun, takes place in the post-war period with the SSR becoming some sort of FBI for mad science. Peggy Carter (Cap's love interest from the first movie) teams up with Howard Stark's butler Edwin Jarvis and does spy stuff. Its much more of a comedy than Agents of SHIELD. Overall I would say Flash is the best of the network TV series, followed by Agents of SHIELD. Jessica Jones is a must if you liked Daredevil.

My understanding of the movie is its not about the superhero registration act, as there are very few heroes, all of which identities are known to the government.

Sue was on Cap's side, Reed was on Tony's, Johnny was on Cap's after he woke from his coma, and Thing was reluctantly part of Tony's, but buggered off to France after he decided both sides were stupid for fighting and putting civilians in harms way. All are owned by Fox right now so won't be part of the movies. I hope Fox lets go of those rights soon though. Marvel is going to need some of the villains bundled into those rights to keep their movies going. Fox owns the Skrulls, Galactus, Kang, Doom, etc.

The chinese character irks me a bit this season though. Why would slavers capture her off the coast of china, then go all the way to france to sell her? At that point thats like a 2 year journey.

I've never had an issue. Only thing I've had to deal with medically is prescriptions. Emergency room visits are a pain due to how busy they are, as are the walk-in clinics, but I got myself a family doctor and she's fantastic. Yeah the "free" part is a bit of a misnomer, most provinces include it in taxes, BC and Alberta have the medical premiums, I pay 30 bucks a month, but that comes off my paycheck, so I never see a bill.

I think Dangerous is mostly the subtle evil options, which is how most of us would play evil

New announcement is not World of Darkness related, according to a facebook post.

Could be like Redemption where you start in the past before it moves to modern day. I'm ok with that.

I hated that level. But that's more because I'm a wussy. I have a love/hate with that level. I hate scary, but it was so well done...

People are thinking it might be a vampire game set in Rome. Evil personality test, url is Human Resources(ie food) and announcement is on the ides of march.

I missed last season of Vikings because we rearranged our cable to save money and lost History. They changed the channel pack setup and I was able to get it again just in time for a marathon of last season before the new season started. Damn its a good show. I hope if its popularity keeps up it continues beyond Ragnar's death into the Great Pagan Army and his sons going on to found the major norse kingdoms, as they are doing a good job of making Bjorn an interesting character and have started giving Ubbe and Ivar some more screen time.

Pretty much. Stats drive combat, player drives narrative.

It was in closed beta after being pushed back to q2 2016. Was supposed to come out last year. A lot of beta players on the Lionhead forums were all talking about how they regretted giving bad feedback. As for Lionhead shutting down, supposedly they have someone trying to find another IP to work on and if they can't they will close. Should have just done Fable 4 instead of jumping on the co-op multiplayer bandwagon.

I don't know if its the better viewing angle, but it seems like it looks better than last season

I couldn't get into the 4th Star Ocean, and thats after absolutely loving 2 and 3 (need to boot up my emulator and finally play 1 sometime). I think I played it for a 2 or 3 hours and couldn't make it out of the initial crash site, and the CG character art was terrible. Saw they released an "international" version later that kept the original anime artwork. No idea why they thought the original western release needed to change it.

Daredevil s2 looks amazing. Only beef with the costumes is the lack of Elektra's bandana.

Wasn't there talk about a new OBS kickstarter firing up last year? What happened to that?

At this point, I don't think much of value was truly lost here, as the studio was just a shell of its former self. A shame that the company's plans (perhaps dreams, more accurately) for their games were never fully realized, and that they're gone entirely now, though. The first time I played through Fable: The Lost Chapters many years ago, and my experimentation in Black & White, are good memories - although I knew next to nothing about the two games going in, which probably explains why I wasn't so horribly disappointed as so many others were. Still. I didn't really follow the hype as much so I enjoyed pretty much everything they did, even The Movies and Fable 3, though Fable 3 was disappointing. When trying to decide between Xbone and PS4 the Fable franchise was one of the points in Xbone's favour... maybe not anymore.

I imagine the xbone will be the last true game console they make, and xbox will just be a brand of prebuilt living room PCs in the future. Sad about Lionhead. I enjoyed most of their games, though Fable Legends wasn't something I was looking forward to. The CoOp focus really turned me off. I imagine cancelling it this far into development meant it had some serious issues.

Guess I'll update my list One game each, though I'll make exceptions for some.

The actual Witcher novels I don't find as engaging as the short story compilations. I'm on Baptism of Fire and it doesn't seem like a lot has really happened.
