Journalism and sexism in the games industry
No worries, I'm sure that screenshot is just Avellone shortly before choke slamming her through and office table for her terrible tone in her articles. You can stand in line with someone and not be best pals with them. Also, you can be friends with someone and not share all views with them. Also also, let's not wish physical harm on anyone, even if it's in jest, especially given current circumstances. I have no desire to see any physical harm come to Ms. Alexander. Her being exposed for the hack, click-bait "journalist" she is, that's another story.

I'm up to chapter 15 in Bayonetta. I have a feeling this is going to be the second to last chapter (I imagine the last chapter will be a boss fight chapter and this seems like a "regular" chapter). More importantly, I discovered there's a Space Harrier level in this game, because of course there is.

In fairness, that describes a sadly not insignificant percentage of Americans too.

Next Obsidian Kickstarter
It's got some definite Planescape overtones to it from what I've read. His Numenera license is being used by inXile at the moment for Tides (which Avellone is writing for), and it's possible that he's receptive to the idea of The Strange being used similarly. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to this. I absolutely love the Numenera system, it's one of the most elegant P&P RPG systems ever, IMHO. While I kinda like the Numenera setting too, I have to admit that the setting of The Strange sounds better. By all accounts, The Strange uses essentially the Numenera system with a few modifications. Of course, we've yet to see how well Numenera will translate to a video game and TToN is still a ways away.

Dead Island 2
I didn't like Dead Island, it was a game I enjoyed for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half, but I quickly grew tired of it because the game was so relentlessly tedious and repetitive. I didn't bother with Riptide when I found out if was essentially a copy & paste of the first game. The one hope I had for DI2 was that it was being handled by a different dev, so maybe they would bring some much needed changes to the formula. Making the game more MMO-ish isn't exactly what I had in mind.

I'm up to chapter 12 in Bayonetta. I figure I should be nearing the end of the game. The boss fights in the game are really badass. Generally, once I figure out all the tricks the boss has up its sleeve, it's a fairly easy fight, so long as my dodge timing remains good. The first time or two facing the boss, though, I take a pretty good thrashing, on account of not knowing what I'm up against yet. I should finish the game in the next day or two. There will still be plenty left to do in the game, such as running through on a higher difficulty, getting better scores on each chapter, finding all the hidden challenge areas and mastering them, unlocking all the weapons and items, and so on, but I'm mainly interested in getting through the story entirely and jumping into the sequel. I can do the extra stuff at a later time.

Polka dot is in reference to the Polka dance and music which was (and still is) performed in many European countries, Poland included. To be clear, those aren't dots on the woman's dress (it;s a small picture) they're flowers. The women's garb in that region is heavy on flower patterns. Sorry for derailing the thread.

Traditional garb for the region of Poland my family is from (I was born in Warsaw, but my family originates from around Zakopane in the far south of Poland, which by ancestry makes me a Góral): You have my permission to be jealous.

Fun fact: The Bayonetta character was designed by Mari Shimazaki She must be a "sock puppet".

All the "fun" in that game looks like code for empowering the player to kill things.

Torment: Tides of Numero Uno
I personally enjoyed Wasteland 2's combat. It's doesn't quite reach X-COM's level of depth, but I found enough tactical options at my disposal to satisfy me, and putting together a good plan of attack and executing it well was always enjoyable. /shrugs

My God, what a HEINOUS attack! Brianna Wu is a developer, right? What has she made? I'm not asking to be derisive, I honestly don't know and am curious.

NFL 2014 Season
When it's crunch time and the game is on the line, you put the number of carries concerns aside, as far as I'm concerned. You can find better times during the season to get him a breather. Have Randle or Dunbar play an entire quarter during some 3rd or 4th quarter when you're up by 17. When the game is on the line, **** how many carries he's on pace for. In other news, Ron Mexico will be getting the start for the Jets on Sunday.

NFL 2014 Season
That was a nearly worst case scenario game for the Boys and they still should have won had they not nearly abandoned the run at the end. They had a bunch of fumbles during the game and general miscues, lost a couple guys on defense (hopefully not for many games), Romo got hurt (thankfully that looks like just a bruise), and, with the exception of one bad pick, Colt McFreakinCoy was playing out of his mind on the other side of the ball. They still should have won. Brandon Weeden comes in fresh off riding the bench for most of the season, Murray breaks a 50 yarder to the 5, then the Cowboys inexplicably go run-pass-pass. Dez should have caught that second ball for a TD, but that doesn't change the fact that they should have just run Murray 3 times from the 5. Sure, that's what the other team is expecting, but the Cowboys have shown all year that even when team are expecting the run they still can't stop Murray. If you're a good running football team, which you are, you freakin' punch it in from there. Then in OT, 1st and 10 Murray runs for 8. Should be an easy 1st down pickup there, right, just run Murray again, he can surely get 2 yards in 3 tries (likely 1 try). Nope, they go pass-pass-pass with a hobbled Romo. You have the best rushing attack in the league, run the freakin' football, especially when the opponent is sending the house against your QB time and time again. Oh well, they're 6-2 and hopefully Romo isn't seriously hurt, that's the positive to take away from this.
