That's kind of my point, they seem like the only team out there taking on these types of gigs. Or at least, taking them on and finishing them.

Beamdog is working in a very niche marketplace, so I wouldn't worry too much about them swimming through piles of gold coins anytime soon. I've never understood the resentment they get.

Daggerfall was randomized.

I am sure they will return. Jordan Weisman is a genius, and that is one of his babies. I too was surprised at how well they captured the tone of the PnP game, but when you realize it is the original creator behind it, it makes a lot of sense. Next I just need to get Ian Currie to make another Jagged Alliance.

Yeah I don't mean to say they are all a snooze, I just remember when it was all must-watch entertainment for me. Some have been great, but they seem to be the ones that break from convention. Just being a comic book movie is no longer enough. I loved Logan, and Deadpool is great because it satirizes all of it. But I can wait on most of this stuff that is showing up.

I wonder when we reached the point of oversaturation when it comes to super hero content? I mean, I just yawned at that, and I haven't even finished the Punisher season 1, which is my favorite comic from my childhood. I'm going to say it was either the second Ironman or the 3rd Christian Bale Batman.

Are you sure?

I don't get it.

Sounds good. Hopefully people can just enjoy it as a fun movie and not turn it into a battle of the sexes.

That Spider-Man teaser trailer seems to misunderstand the word teaser. It looks fun though. Also cool to see Prince of Persia in it.

Pointing out absurdity isn't whining. If it were, your response would be whining as well.

Someday if you accomplish something special, you might get an invite to The White House, where you will dine on delicious Big Macs. The President will even pay for that food out of his own pocket, setting him back dozens of dollars. What a time to be alive.

I'm not fully sure about the gun damage meters. I just put an extra bullet into everything to be sure.

I once forgot one of my friends was a protestant when I picked Dogma for movie night. What, they didn't get the Catholic humor?

Isn't there an option in the EE editions to play the game in the original form, though? At least I thought that was the case with the BG's.

Maybe try and find some sort of project to work on? That's typically how I plan the summers out. You know, train for a triathlon or something.

I also found it was a lot easier to play Elex with a controller.

I had some fun TB battles in Tactics, but at the end of the day it wasn't nearly as good as JA2 at what it was trying to do.

I picked up Elex recently and have been enjoying it. It isn't broken.

Yep. I'm always surprised how hard it is to find something that isn't MA on Netflix and Amazon. I like a good serious show now and then, but when I'm putting my feet up in the family room after a long day, I'm usually just looking for something fun to watch that I don't have to exit out of when a kid wanders by. Hulu saves the day with that, since I can watch Brooklyn 99 and The Orville.

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, particularly making quality TV instead of event TV and keeping it simple. But I will say that Breaking Bad is a once in a generation type show, so that is probably too high a bar to set. I also think Rome and Deadwood were perfect as limited run shows. In fact I wish we had a lot more 2-3 season shows instead of all these long running ones. I also just want most of my TV to be fun. We need more Psych, Monk, and Veronica Mars.

Also a fan of Jeremy Irons, but I can't for the life of me think of anything that HBO has done recently that wasn't excellent. Westworld, GoT, True Detectives, Silicon Valley, Ballers...

I bought this big Daedalic Entertainment package that had Skyhill in it, so I'll give that a whirl, and see if anything else is worth playing.

Yep. Not really ideal to be under the microscope as a freshmen congresswoman.

Keep in mind that I have to convince my wife and mother-in-law to follow this option. Number 1 is the hardest sell.
