It's not off-topic, we are talking about movies. As Malc already pointed out, the Doom guy doesn't really have an identity. So are you just arguing that they are calling it Doom instead of Dame? That seems pretty petty. Also there is already a female He-Man called She-Ra.

Why would the biology matter? He isn't shooting people with his ****. Also the homosexual black midget suggestion for Lara Croft is weird on a lot of levels. First off, the gay or straight seems completely irrelevant. Lara Croft could very well be gay, it isn't a romance series and I have no idea why that would matter. The race is another one that seems unimportant. I'd argue that it was worse to put Angelie Jolie in with a terrible British accent than anything to do with skin color. Hollywood has been changing the races of actors forever, so this isn't something new. Lara Croft as a male would probably be named something else, like Lance Croft, or Nathan Drake. Oh wait... Then you get the midget comment, which is probably the only movie I would pay to see. I think they are called dwarves though, and I am sure Volo would be right next to me in line to see it.

The first Doom movie was pretty terrible despite having the manliest of actors in The Rock, so I fail to see how mixing it up is some great travesty. Odds are high the movie will be bad whether the lead is male or female, so what is the concern? Also Lara Croft is just a female Indiana Jones. *mind blown*

Would it be interesting for me as a European, or is it US centric? It is pretty US-centric, but I think you still might find some interest in it.

I don't really understand how this lie is even perpetuated. In education we basically snicker at the teachers that have ivy league degrees. Good job, you went to Stanford but still make the same as every other public school teacher. Plus I've noticed that junior colleges have really taken off in the last decade, so much that they can actually be difficult to get into.

This took me a day to figure out. It was a day well spent, but that's besides the point. can you explain it, i suppose you must have played skyrim to understand it and i was never a fan of TES I was also scratching my head and I played Skyrim

I have been playing Dying Light with a controller, it is pretty fantastic.

Weezer did a pretty good cover of Africa. I can't even tell the difference, but you don't need to change perfection.

If you haven't made any lifestyle changes that would account for the weight loss, I would really encourage you to see a doctor asap.

I, for one, assume Fenix was quite simply never into adventure games at large. I'm actually pretty sure I did play Monkey Island at some point, but only like first few screens. But, at the time my family actually did have money to buy a computer, Myst was out - and that was an audiovisual revelation ... That I didn't actually enjoy at all. If Myst was out when you started your pc voyage, then you were a generation after the release of Monkey Island. The release of Myst was towards the end of the whole adventure game dominance, whereas Monkey Island was the height. Even though it really was only a few years, the tech was moving so quickly back then that made a huge difference. In short, adventure games were pretty much all you had on the PC in the 80's. I started with King's Quest and The Black Cauldron, so when Monkey Island hit the scene, it was a dramatic jump in everything. If Myst was out when you jumped on board, you missed it. I never dug Myst either, we had way more quality action and RPG options by then (Might and Magic III!). Not that it's a big deal, but as the video you posted showed, it continues to influence more modern games with the way it handled production and many of the gameplay systems.

But Steam really isn't giving you full ownership when you buy something from them. They give you a license. You have to play it through their software, even in offline mode. It is in their best interest to make sure you always have access to those games, but honestly you have fairly limited rights. They are a heck of a lot better than the iTune store, at least. Apple makes it a huge hassle to access the content you have paid for if something goes wrong. I'm actually curious what happens to your Steam library when you die. I know Apple does not let you transfer it. But yeah, don't think of it as ownership. I see benefits though. It is a huge benefit to me that all my games are in one place and when I get a new computer, all I need to do is log in to get them. They are easy to get patched up, and I get spiffy badges. I have a few CD cases buried in my garage and I remember what a hassle it used to be to manage them and try to get them to work on new computers. I'm happy not to go back to those days. edit: I also think we need to remember that these games aren't that valuable. They drop precipitously after the first month or so in most cases. Do I really need to own 300 games, 95 percent of which I will never play again?

Little extreme, I think. Steam does offer a decent service and value to people. Heck, they even implemented a decent return policy. Offline mode has made strides as well. A lot of it comes down to ownership. There is this well established idea that you buy something and take ownership of it, and should have full rights to it. The new model is more of a lease or subscription. This isn't just about digital content, you are seeing it with phones, cars, etc. Both models have value. I like the idea that my car will be paid off and I can just consider it an asset, but I also like the idea that when I tire of it in 3 years I can get the latest and greatest.

All of my doctors are Indian. Did you guys watch Take Your Pills on Netflix?

I just assume Fenix is too young to know what a huge jump the Monkey Island games were in quality. When I got my first soundcard, the first game I went to replay was Monkey Island, and it was nearly a spiritual awakening.

My apologies if I misunderstood you.

Hah, I'm pretty sure you had a conniption when Obama bowed to people, but you call this fake news. Beautiful.

Well we all know that the bible says politics are more important than religion.

Have you played You Have to Burn the Rope?

Really digging Dying Light, although the nightmares when I go to bed in real life are a bit rough.

Get the Switch. I steal my sons all the time, it is great. (I paid for it!) The Xbone just doesnt seem to have any edge over a decent pc. I would rather upgrade my rig than spend money on it.

FFXV was pretty great, though. I'm not sure about the live service stuff, but it was gigantic as shipped and had a ton of content. I think a lot of the live service stuff was free, too, but I didn't follow it closely after finishing it.

I don't really get the anger over multiplayer. If it takes away from the single player experience, sure. But Baldur's Gate had an mp experience and it didn't detract from the game.

I am actually shocked how into it people are. I just come here for trailers and have no interest in the presentations.

Grabbed the full Dying Light game for cheap and enjoying the start of it. I need new batteries for my controller though, mouse+keyboard is no bueno for parkour.

I thought Thor: Ragnarok was radical. I did think the first two were pretty unremarkable.
