Can't tell if serious, but this whole post still made me Everything up to the boat fire was good. Some exploring, some killing orcs and such. Movement speed was a little low, but combat was well paced and had some Fallout-esque dialogue pop-ups in combat to add some flavour.

I enjoyed the first Witcher book, but it was essentially a world building book. No driving narrative, just a bunch of short stories. Supposedly the ones after that are more of an ongoing plot.

I played for a bit. I couldn't figure out the boat fire and tried to put it out with my ice magic. All it did was accidentally hit a villager, so they all attacked and I was able to kill them all with a single fireball. So movig on I got stuck in a dialogue box then it crashed. If this is the game with half of it not implemented, final version should be sweet. Also, I must not have been paying attention because I wasn't expecting turn based combat.

Whoah whoah whoah. Since when is security a bad word? Since governments started pairing it with "homeland" or "economic" and used it to justify stripping people of their rights.

The general reaction across most of the internet is that its a bad movie, but largely enjoyable and much better than the first.

Security

Appreciated. Didn't finish the survey just in case so all good.

Wouldn't that make them LESS evil sounding? And in any case I don't think racist sounds any more innocuous. Hearing them makes me more angry than they used to, and people take them just as serious, so you have people wrongly thinking people are racists just because they don't think a black guy should play Johnny Storm. that's pretty evil.

Racist and Misogynist. They're just overused and flung about willy nilly for harmless stuff. They used to be used to describe stuff like the KKK and abusive men, and now they're just blanket terms used to describe people who don't like change. There are also huge double standards with their use.

Reading Princess of Mars. I really liked the John Carter movie and the first 6 or so books are free on the kindle store so I snagged them. So far enjoying it, John Carter is much less everyman and much more well spoken and intelligent in the book than in the movie, but so far the movie kept pretty close to the spirit.

I've backed a bunch, but the only one I've actually got was the movie Shadow Cabal, which considering it was a big epic fantasy indie flick, actually turned out not too bad. I was expecting it to be a lot worse than it was. Banner Saga comes out in like 3 weeks, I hope it doesn't disappoint, especially because I backed at a level based on the promise of future installments.

Which is to say the classification is unneccesary and superfluous. They also do not serve their purpose very well because, as you agreed, most people won't even know what it means except for those in the know. Besides that, they are treated as settings or genres when they are only look & feel classifications. Whereas "science fiction" tells you the type of thing it is, going "no it's not, it's cybergoth" just clouds the issue by pointing out outlying design elements instead of the core of what something is. So to me these classifications are incredibly problematic and limiting - because selling something as a steampunk setting limits you to things with the steampunk aesthetic, whereas telling a fantasy story with steampunk elements, for example, will be much more interesting. I'd like to see a low-magic fantasy setting with a steampunk/clockpunk combo techlevel/style, keep the aesthetic bright and optimistic, but the story and themes darker to contrast.

Before they revealed what Regina's price was I was like "WTF?! Are they seriously going to kill the only two characters I watch this show for!?" Edit: Wait, forgot Hook, I watch it for 3 characters.

Hot Fuzz is still my favorite, but while after watching Worlds End I put it last, as it sinks in its slowly moving passed Shaun of the Dead.

Something like Andromeda I would think. You have a benevolent system spanning cooperative taken down by inside or outside forces, and the remnants strugglig to survive in the aftermath.

A WildCards RPG would be boss.

Hrmm, article from May, wonder why I don't remember any discussion. Style is reminiscent of Final Fantasy.

So has anyone noticed most of the job postings on Obsidian's page are for making a "Highly stylized MMORPG"? I wish them well, but this is likely the first Obsidian game I don't buy.

I have no money, but I will borrow to pledge to another Obsidian KS.

A 3XL would be appreciated too, usually 2XL is either too short or not wide enough. Because if you're tall you must be skinny, or if you're fat you must be short, because clothes are only made for short fat people or tall skinny people. I'd like a tall fat option please.

Peter Jackson confirmed once he's done with the Hobbit, he's moving on to the Tintin sequel. This makes me happy.

So the Arrow midseason finale had the origins of Solomon Grundy and Flash, introduced Ollie's mask, and introduced Slade Wilson as the big bad of the season. Not too shabby.

Also, US residents who were registered rejoice, because your chances of getting a prototype increased by having all registered international applicants deemed inelligible. I wonder how many people that cut from the pool. I want to say it's likely a fairly large chunk of people. I saw a large volume of people complaining about the last minute switch in comment sections and other forums. I feel like my "Steam Hardware Beta Candidate" badge is nothing but a filthy lie now. I can't imagine what kind of regulatory hurdles there are to allow them to ship them outside the US that would delay the beta by a significant time. I figured they juat had to pay more for shipping.

Castle would say otherwise

But without Scarlet it was G.I. Joe IN NAME ONLY. Not to mention Roadblock ordering Flint around.
