No problem, myself doesn't trust me to be objective, either. Is a failing we recognize that prevents honest review. Maybe overt female physical strength reads as threatening or off-putting. Terminator and MDB and those mentioned may not have hinged success on a character known to many yet seen by none on the big screen. Pretty, exotic, and ... relatable, perhaps.

What's on the idiot box?
I'm watching the first two seasons trying to figure out Savitar, but, nothing doing--although it's obvious the writers love to flip the table after setting up certain scenarios, so I wouldn't be surprised if you're right about a double reveal ... Favorite shot from the entire series ... season two, on Earth 2, in Barry and Iris' house, the rotary phone push-button speed dial contact list: "Bruce ... Hal ... Diana"

What's on the idiot box?
Revisiting Pluto planetary pooh-pooher Neil deGrasse Tyson's Cosmos series. It's quite amazing, I wish NASA was still a thing and a dream.

Deadfire isn't going to be a "dumbed down" pillars like tyranny is it?
ManifestedISO replied to firkraag888's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Go ahead, tell me Tyranny sucked one more time, bub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDRMt6tggsI

The drinking thread
Watched Logan with my BFF then to his house for a toast to Wolverine. On the rocks, pretty amazing aroma and flavor.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Watching the GI Andromeda stream ... the voice actor for this Captain Dunn character sounds like Calisca from PoE. Have also heard Natalie Dormer and Clancy Brown. Still freaked out by face animations.

What you did today
Was forced today to initiate a first-ever Level One Disaster Emergency Response Protocol (L1 DERP). Parked, got out, opened the rear hatch, point zero seconds later a full, fresh gallon of premium exterior paint committed an unprecedented gravitational error, free-falling from vehicle deck-height, face-planting and popping open without remorse onto a private, sloped, black-asphalt driveway. The only other eyes-on in the area were five dogs and two cats. Ignoring panic and a bemused Doberman, the on-site operator laid down perfunctory canvas, right-sided the deformed container, brush-scooped the impressively aggressive puddle back into the can, activated pressurized water from a local source, and manually affected a hand-held wire brush to remove on-contact residue. After sixty minutes, no trace remained. An impressive recovery. So much so, no incident report was filed with local authorities who arrived hours later, unaware.

Who do you suppose Savitar is ... everyone seems to think Wally, or HR. I'm gonna go girl and suggest Savitar is actually the lady speedster who died last season from injecting Velocity 9, in a storm of blue lightning ... Caitlin's friend from Mercury Labs, Trajectory. Obviously I'm wrong, but, maybe.

The drinking thread
Tried a new whiskey, Old Camp, developed by two dudes from Florida and Georgia and some line. Was okay neat, slightly better with a cube. In the end, tonight's episode of Supergirl was the best television I'd ever seen--Kevin Sorbo and Teri Hatcher upcoming teaser roles notwithstanding.

is there going to be a Steam/GoG achievement for backing the game?
ManifestedISO replied to eisberg's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)What's that cat in a box both dead and alive at the same time--that's my PoE backer achievement. The physical box pledge wasn't available when the game released, so I had to get a non-backer digital copy in order to play at launch. Now the achievement just sits there in the queue, unclaimed, taunting me.
- Music. Must. Go on!

After Bobby Null outed himself as a virulent and genuine though misinformed Star Wars nerd during the Deadfire stream, I was morally obligated to watch Episode VII and confirm his assertion Rogue One is better. Broadly now I agree, but specifically all I could see were Carrie's scenes and I just lost it.

The loss of Vancian casting?!
ManifestedISO replied to Arulan's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)To this day the only half-orc to earn an MFA from Berkeley, if I remember, which now admits only six humans per year to that program, from 200 applicants. Orc and half-orc admission data is strangely difficult to research.

Stretch goal discussion!
ManifestedISO replied to TheisEjsing's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I thought he was dead. Just played through Ansalog's Compass again to confirm, but the body is a "Dead Vailian" holding a letter written by Fulvano, detailing how dangerous is the Compass, trailing off at the end after mentioning a xaurip attack ... I guess technically Fulvano could be alive.

You're kidding me, I just watched Contact not ten minutes ago. Jodie Foster, so good, pensive and passionate in the same instant, eyes more blue than what's his name Frodo. Speaking of the Shire, Peter Jackson and Weta Digital are also credited. I thought The Frighteners and Fellowship were their first forays.

What are you playing right now?
Ground Zeroes on PSN super sale. Gave me that old-fashioned frustrated feeling, where you take one hand off the controller and look down, or up at the ceiling, or anywhere but the Mission Failed screen. But only a few times--it's actually mostly fun, if incredibly short, as the stand-alone prologue to the brilliant Phantom Pain. Tactical infiltration with barely a handful of weapons. Have to work hard to suspend disbelief, though, the setting is a Marines-occupied installation in 1974 Cuba, occasionally forcing the player to use lethal force during side-ops.
