Yeah, I haven't used the cover system that way since the tutorial. I'm sure it has its uses, but there are so many other ways to get around situations.

I read an interesting post about how difficult it must be for his wife of 25 years to have him pass away, but then to also have to deal with the Gene and Gilda stuff again. Definitely time to watch Willy Wonka, and maybe See No Evil, Hear No Evil.

I wonder what how much Origin manages to sell of the games they don't publish? Like, why would you ever go there if it isn't for an EA title? They run some sales, but they usually aren't that crazy.

In DX:MD I got to Golem City, and I loved the haphazard shipping container design. Then I got lost for a couple hours looking for a guy, and I started to hate it.

The variety is impressive. Whoever they assigned to come up with all the different booze really embraced it. There must be 30 different types of alcohol in this game!

I feel like handhelds are a dying breed, really. 10 years ago, half my students had handhelds. Now they all have phones or tablets, and maybe one has a handheld. That being said, I liked the Wii U controller and I don't mind that they are building on how that was used.

Hmm, I can't speak to the ending yet, but this is still one of the better storytelling games out there. I don't know who to trust, I feel bad about certain choices I have to make, etc. Basically the tone is excellent and addicting, and whatever the ending is, I'm still going to look back on this game as a solid hit.

The bible one sounds like an embellishment, only because it really caters to the audience that the secret service agent is writing for. But yeah, both these folks are pieces of work. Hillary treating people bad doesn't make Trump a better person, that's for sure.

This stood out to me, and I was curious as to where it came from. Is it from Slate? Look, first off let me say that there is a lot I agree with you on here. I agree that rape of men is serious and has tragically been under reported and ignored for too long. I'm all for male rape getting the same attention that female rape gets, they are both reprehensible. I just don't see how heaping scorn on the concept of female rape does anything to help the victims of male rape.

What study are you getting that from? The CDC says 1 in every 71 men has been in such a situation, while they put the female number around 20%. That's not even close.

Voice acting that bad? It's hit and miss, but the real problem is the dialogue just drags, and the pacing is unnatural. Kind of like this, but with worse special effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7xI73JcV7I

I recommend everyone enable subtitles and space bar through dialogue in Deus Ex as soon as possible.

But that doesn't fit the narrative where all refugees are also rapists!

If Lethal Weapon is good, it's pretty much guaranteed Fox will cancel it halfway through the season. It's nice to see Damon Wayans again though. The guy is 55! Never heard of the guy playing Riggs, but he seems decent.

I haven't even noticed it, to be honest. Gorgon is right about the framerate though. This game is awesome 80% of the time and weirdly laggy the rest. Also my loading times are messed up.

I was looking for something fun to watch, and settled on Tropic Thunder. Someone had complained about it here recently, so I thought maybe it just didn't age well. I hadn't seen it in a decade. It was as great as I remembered. Basically the Vietnam version of The Three Amigos. Just a bunch of hilarious performances. It was a perfect way to end a long week.

I would agree that gameplay and level design are awesome. Story is pretty good, but they drag out the dialogue painfully. I think if you liked HR you will like this. I do not regret the purchase. Of course, I'm only about 10 hours in and still in the first main hub. But I don't think anything dramatic will happen to change my mind.

oby has to be the weirdest person ever. I mean, we've got some peaches around here, but he really takes the cake. The longevity is what is so impressive.

These weird triangles I keep collecting in Deus Ex are frustrating. I love collecting tchotchkes, but they want you to scan it with your phone using their app. That's pretty absurd, but then it turns out that the app doesn't even work for most people. Lame.

It's all part of our mental health outreach program here on the Obsidian Forums™. It isn't about what the OP is saying, but rather that he feels he is being heard and cared for. Good work folks.

So far I've only snuck around a construction zone reading emails. But I will let you know if I end up in any offices.

I enjoyed Human Revolution quite a bit, and I'm enjoying Mankind Divided just as much. Yeah, I'm in the same boat. MD has added a lot of stuff, but it is still very much the same type of game.

You guys don't have different options available when you buy your car? Usually every car model has three different packages available. Then of course you have all the negotiations that need to be made. Basically car dealerships suck and so do video game publishers.

With all the advances in technology, why is dubbing still so bad in movies? Ah well, subtitles are still the way to go.

My wife was commenting on how unhealthy Clinton looks. She seems to be struggling with walking. Given the way her health declined during her Secretary of State run, I'm really surprised that isn't a bigger concern at this point.
