The Teen Titans Go movie was the best superhero flick so far. They kept referring to Slade as Deathpool, and the songs were amazing. They recreated the Lion King with Batman holding Robin up to the world. Also watched Game Night, which was a fun comedy. Jason Bateman at his best.

A monopoly would come with its own problems though. Why bother with a big sale if you are the only game in town?
-
Whoa whoa, this is no place for making controversial statements like that. GoT is super relevant and the new season starts in like a month.

I did play the first Witcher, but I never finished it. Stalled out during Act III twice.

I finished Witcher 2 for the first time recently. It took me awhile to get used to Geralt. Like a couple years of false starts before I embraced my inner edgelord. But once I embraced the setting, I had a good time with it. I had it on regular difficulty until the kraken, then I went easy to finish up the story. I'll probably get into the 3rd game in the next few years. Now I'm back at Guild Wars 2 after 5 years off, thanks to the pictures thread. My level 35 fighter shoots a rifle at stuff and enjoys finding vista points. I have a bunch of level boosts, but I'm afraid to use them at this point. It was fun opening 6 years of birthday presents.

That is literally the most important thing for me as a consumer. I didn't buy the game because it was going to be on GoG or Steam, I bought it to play it. Now if they suddenly decided to put it on a separate platform that I don't have access to, that would be a dealbreaker. I'd get my money back. Totally understandable to get a refund in those situations, and it would be wrong not to offer it on their part. Again, it was also a small investment, so the idea that they took advantage of zero interest isn't a big deal to me. Savings account give what, 1.5%? I will not lose sleep over the extra cents they owe me.

It is in my own interest that Julian Gallop continue to be able to make games. I've also got a very small investment as a consumer. Simply put, this isn't like the car analogy because a car is a major investment. It is an asset. The $30 I dropped on this game is nothing. I can spend that parking my car in the city for a day. I just want the game to be good. That is why I paid for it. Their delivery method is not the priority for me. I don't stress whether fedex or the USPS deliver my packages. Heck, UPS apparently doesn't put air conditioning in their trucks. Maybe I'll stop sending packages through them, but I'm definitely not going to care if people send me stuff that way.

My guess is the vast vast majority of gamers could care less about any Epic controversy. More likely just annoyed that they have to install something other than Steam to get it to run. Of course, looking at fig, there were only 10k backers in the first place, so that is not even a huge percentage of what they are probably hoping to sell.
-
Huh, posted in the wrong thread. I bought the expansions for Guild Wars 2 recently though.
-
I was pretty put off by this at first, but after hearing about the deal they got by going with Epic, I don't know how anyone can blame them. My dozens of dollars are less important than creating long term stability for their business.

When the Royals won the WS a couple years back with an excellent base running team, I thought steals might come back into fashion, but it looks more like an outlier than a trend.
-
Wait, is that one a bad thing?

I think Bernie is basically Ron Paul for the democrats. He'll make noise but never get the nomination.
-
Seems like a strange move for Phoenix Point, considering they said it would be on Steam during the fig campaign (and the faq still says that.) I wonder if there is a miscommunication? I'd have no problem if it was on Epic a week or two early, but a year sounds crazy.
-
Doom looks like a SciFi channel feature of the week.

Also I had a blast watching Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad. I never understood the hate that movie got, but I figure it just hit the right notes for me.
-
Thanks Shady, that is better said than I was managing.
-
You are really weird sometimes. You asked a question and I answered it. I guess we are done.
-
What rigorous vetting process are you talking about? Green Lantern was fine. Seemed like pretty standard popcorn flick fare. It wasn't groundbreaking and I guess they spent too much money on it, but I don't have any problem with it. What was the worst part of the movie? Also good to keep in mind the target audience. Is Captain Marvel really targeting your morning radio hosts?
-
Odds are pretty slim that the movie actually sucks though. It might be tired and unoriginal or whatever, but these things follow a pretty standard formula. They've got great effects, good acting and directing, solid writing. There aren't going to be a lot of obvious problems with the film. They get focus groups and a bunch of oversight making sure that it is a quality product. So yeah, anyone that says the movie is terrible is exaggerating or trying to make themselves seems edgy. I mean, I have no interest in seeing the movie myself, but I realize that is a reflection on my lack of interest in the character and general apathy towards super heroes at this point. That doesn't make it a bad movie.

Crazy people hate other crazy people, news at 11.

I love Dragon's Milk, but it's a king's ransom to buy it. Also my guess is Gfted has been drinking crappy watered down stouts. There is a lot of variety in the Stout game, so I'm sure there is something for him. You basically have a bunch of different flavor bases: Malt, bourbon, coffee, chocolate, oatmeal...I'm sure there are a few others but those are the most common. I mean, unless you dislike all of those things, you probably can find the right fit.

In an ideological war, is it more important to hold people accountable, or to change their minds?

I played through Guild Wars and unlocked a bunch of stuff for Guild Wars 2, and then I never really got into the sequel. I should probably go back sometime. I even read one of the books and enjoyed the lore. -
Any of the distance changes is the biggest concern I see. I can't really decide wear I stand on the auto-called strikes and balls, but it sounds like the system still needs work regardless. For now it's a good way to weed out bad umps, I suppose.
