That looks fantastic. I'm totally down for a new Musketeers movie.

Aw come one, I'm sure Larian has written a few memorable characters in their games. I've played most of them and I remember...uh...give me a second, it will come to me... I think there was a talking skull? Or was that Monkey Island? Or was that Morte?

Ain't nobody got time for Alpha testing at our age. I can barely make time for the finished games.

Edge of Tomorrow ain't a time travel movie. It is Groundhog's Day with guns. Totally different genre.

The Obsidian forums is the original Roguelike game.

The fridge didn't bother me at all. Ending it with this guy did. I vastly prefer the religious hoodoo juju to a UFO blasting off. Plus Shia Ladouchebag was not good.

I don't know what the Crystal Skull thing is you guys are talking about. Indy 4 is called Fate of Atlantis.

Yeah, I always enjoy the idea of the classic games much more than the actual gameplay. Some genres held up better than others, too. RPG's tended to be pretty bad. I'd argue that the infinity engine games are the only ones that aged somewhat well, and even they benefited from the EE makeover. I tried to play Might and Magic 7 awhile back and I don't understand how I navigated that thing back in the day.

@Chairchucker's hot take.

It can't be any worse... Wait, Kurt Russel was in the 2nd one and it was great, so that that doesn't work here.

The insurance company doesn't pay $400 either. They work out a deal and pay about 10% of that cost. Then they turn around and tell you they saved you $400.

All of that sounds pretty familiar in the US as well.

The Iranian team is going through some serious **** that unfortunately has little to do with the pitch.

That's doubtful. Warwick Davis could pick his nose for an hour and it would be more entertaining than Shannara. (Or Wheel of Time, take your pick.)

I enjoyed the first Grimrock, but it is more about puzzles than story or characters. I'd say they are still not even Icewind Dale level when it comes to story. You are pretty much alone. Lords of Xulima was pretty good and had a better quest/story progression. It was a bit cheesy. I own Grimrock 2 and never seem to be in the mood for it, so take that for what you will. edit: oh, I am hooked on New Vegas still. I am in the middle of the Old World Blues DLC. I had played the Sierra Madre (Dead Money?) DLC back in the day, so I skipped that one. But the rest of the DLC is new to me.

As always, I'm thankful for this forum and all the great conversations we have about weird stuff. We are cooking a 13.5 pound bird right now. We were supposed to go to my wife's brother's place, but they had to cancel last minute, so we went shopping yesterday and have thrown together a few dishes for our 5-person household.

Oh man, they just had a big event for him too.

Father of the year material.

It is a shame that Kamala Harris hasn't been able to capitalize on her postion. Pete Buttigieg, maybe? Both Trump and Biden are way too old, but I know that won't stop Trumpsters.

I'm not sure why the platform would matter. She is a behavioral scientist and she answered a question. edit: As Pidesco pointed out, it was part of a larger discussion where she cited her data. Of course, you don't have to trust that she is a credible scientist. Feel free to dig through the research yourself and pretend the internet makes you an expert in everything.

Outer Worlds definitely has the feel of New Vegas. It is a much smaller scale, but the writing and characters are all fantastic in the same way.

Greatest Beer Run Ever - This is a drama. Sure, the premise sounds silly (albeit very real), but I cried like a little baby. I haven't actually cried that much in awhile. In college, I took a lot of classes on the Vietnam War and read a lot of literature (ie The Quiet American, 4 Hours in My Lai, In Pharaoh's Army.) This movie felt like those books. It was deeply unsettling. I'm not sure why it isn't considered an important piece of filmmaking, but then again I'm not sure why Graham Greene's Quiet American isn't required reading. Anyways, go watch it with a beer in hand. It will give you something to cry into.

Pentiment is definitely proof of the AA model though. It is fantastic but the furthest thing from AAA gaming.

Geez. It makes me nervous when we post 40-something people in this thread.

At first I thought you watched a Neil Breen movie with your wife. That would show serious commitment on her part.
