Finished Star Trek Resurgence. I really enjoyed it. It is an about 10 hours long episode of proper Star Trek in which you get to do all the important stuff that make Star Trek Star Trek. I told engineering to "Reverse the hull polarity!" I stabilized the pattern buffer and beamed people safely to where they needed to go. I said "Energize!" I said "Make way!" (though I had other choices as well, naturally) I ejected the warp core with a manual override. And I argued with the rest of the crew about the prime directive. Definitely worth it.

I feel uncomfortable being part of an away team as the only person with red in their uniform This looks like a Doctor Who crossover I try to be as spoiler free as possible, but for the hardcore trekies, be spoilered with this screenshot:

a bit expensive. Same price as chaos dwarves. -
Deep Sky Derelicts is quite fun. I played it a long while ago. Everyone ignored the screenshots... I found that after a while it felt more like a lite RPG than a rogue like, being long enough to not feel like a game where you were supposed to have died countless times already to create replayability.

Apparently I have played 5 hours of Star Trek. Having replayed a few scenes because of 1 bug (I could have ignored), not being a good shot, and wanting to check if I really had succeeded clicking W in time, my play time may be closer to 4,5 hours. I am not a big fan of Carter, as he has a goofy smile. It feels as if someone's cat jumped onto the desk while they were adjusting the mouth slider. The story is good Star Trek fun though. The mini games are often more there to have you interact and not just watch an animated movie. There seem to be some key choices that matter though. Looking forward to playing more tomorrow.

I'm a what? Oh, so this is a 40K crossover.

Shoot yourself using Epic download speed, by the time the bullet reaches your leg, you'll be long gone!

That's why you get games on Epic. Download speed always sucks, so you can't tell the difference.

Star Trek Resurgence. I think that is the name. You know, that telltale style game in the franchise where they set light sabres to stun and beam people anywhere but where they are supposed to be. -
Some missions may be timed. (When you search for some hermit/sage/whatever in the magic forest for example) Check mission descriptions for hints of urgency. You unlock more knights as you progress and can get some very unique choices based on your alignment. So if you aren't certain you want to keep a knight, don't invest too much in them if you are just going to fire them later. For example if you plan an old faith playthrough, that rightful Christian you can get early on may not be someone you want. On the other way, you have ways of affecting a knight's alignment (for example marrying them off to the right woman). There is no divorce, but there are a lot of ladies in waiting, so don't marry off your knights without getting a good benefit from it. And obviously, choose at least one axis on the alignment chart and stick to it.

Are you playing the first game? It is arguably the best in the series, but at some point you may want to drop the difficulty significantly. Just as your weapons pass through ethereal opponents, so does the fun factor That said, I really enjoyed the first game, even though for one reason or another I never finished it. The second game takes a lot of what makes the first game fun and removes that. It had a fun stand alone prologue where you play the last Romans left behind, but it doesn't affect the main campaign, which is a shame. The third game is turn based tactical RPG battles with a party of four, so may be most to your liking. It isn't bad. I forgot to play the dlc. It is on my to do list.

"Stop playing! I'll talk! Just stop playing assassin's creed!" "The haptic shirt works!" "Haptic shirt? It's painful watching you play this badly. You suck." -

You know there is a police officer somewhere thinking "I can get suspects beaten up without physically touching them, by leaving them in the interrogation room and playing assassin's creed in the break room... badly?" So many applications in the torture business. -

Did we talk about the Ubisoft haptic shirt that lets you feel it when you get gut punched in game? -

Why does the government not want you to see this video? Rated 8/10 hypes on the internationally trusted Bruce rating scale. Or this or this https://youtu.be/2mX2iDI00FM -
Cinema and Movie Thread: flickering images
melkathi replied to Chairchucker's topic in Way Off-Topic
Barbie is actually a good movie. It has the odd preachy moment, but is overall fun. The main issue I have is that the Ken song is close to 4 minutes in length and probably the peak of the movie, making it hard to then find a significant Barbie ending to a movie titled "Barbie" and not "Ken" or "Just Ken" or "The Patriarchy is not about men riding horses".
