	Yes, this does look to be one to keep an eye on.

	Mine was US III aka Japan VI. Then picked up II aka IV which I didn't like as much. Didn't like VII, VIII, IX or X as much as VI (III) but did like them (even VIII which was much maligned at the time). I think I've played all of the first ten in some fashion, plus X2.

	I enjoyed watching the contestants trying to navigate the new courses. I think its a good thing for the series to not just continue churning out winners each year because they don't try to make things more difficult as contestants adapt to the courses due to familiarity.

	But in the US this wouldn't be derived from the second amendment and would have to do more with local law and regulations, I'd think.

	My understanding is that Topware/SouthPeak was sued by Interplay for trying to use the Battle Chess name for a new game and infringing on I'play's IP. Supposedly Topware/SouthPeak was trying an end run to usurp the trademark believing Caen couldn't afford a legal fight. I'play won $200,000 out of it; which they put towards Battle Chess 2011 (which may or may not have been planned before the lawsuit, don't remember). This went to Kickstarter because the original 3rd party developer Subdued Software had some financial mismanagement and they didn't have the money to complete it. The end result was Battle Chess: Game of Kings completed by Rebecca Heineman's Olde Skuul (which I think is made up of former I'play employees/creatives) Dunno what happened with Black Isle and BIMAR aka Black Isle Mayan Apocalypse Replacement Program (which IIRC was a replacement for the Fallout MMO/Project V13 when they lost the Fallout license entirely).

	Planescape is a D&D (Wizards -> Hasbro) IP. Did InXile buy Torment off of Interplay for the Tides Title. I think the press release said - Earthworm Jim, Freespace, Giants, Kingpin, Messiah, MDK, Run Like Hell, Sacrifice, Battlechess, Clayfighter, Dark Alliance (but not Forgotten Realms), and Descent

	Seems like they've decided to abandon the previous film's storyline entirely.

	September 23 is the premier date for Macgyver. Since James Wan directed the new pilot episode, I'll probably give the first ep if I remember.

	I think you mean "Rogue One: A Drow Starring Story"...

	I wish. Sadly I had to get rid of my pc game boxes (and a lot of my console game boxes and dvd/bluray boxes) for space reasons.

	You probably shouldn't have called her a weight when you tried to pick her up.

	The metric system is awesome; everything divisible by ten. Soccer, on the other hand, still sucks. Inductive reasoning tells me that Soccer must not be divisible by ten.

	Who is this list aimed at? Are there really that many people who'll watch Twitches and then Evil Dead and think "Yeah, that was a completely satisfying double bill"? Why is it "32. Chucky" instead of "32. Child's Play"? None of the films in the series were called "Chucky". Halloween, House on Haunted Hill, Amityville Horror, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead - original or remake? The list doesn't indicate. So here's some I've seen and enjoyed, in no particular order: The Mummy (1932) The Innocents (1962) The Haunting (1963) Nightbreed Psycho (1960) The Others (2001) The Thing (1981) Prince of Darkness Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Messiah of Evil Dawn of the Dead (1978) The Mummy's Hand Evil Dead (1981) Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987) Army of Darkness (1992) Bubba-Ho-Tep The Blob (1958) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) The Witch (2016) Insidious The Ring Ringu (The RIng) The Grudge Hausu (1977) (House) The Abominable Dr. Phibes Dr. Phibes Rises Again Videodrome The Fly (1986) The Whisperer in the Darkness Pirhana (1978) Die Farbe (2010) (The Colour) Scream and Scream Again The Haunted Palace (1963) Re-Animator From Beyond The Wolfman (1940) Masque of the Red Death (1963) Spider Baby Phenomena Schock (1977) (Shock) The Beast Must Die!

	I'd go for it; my original run through NWN2 was cut short by a broken ankle and a broken computer and a broken laptop. It was a bad year. Now I have a laptop to play it with (assuming I can find all the discs again) but modern laptops don't come with disc drives, and external disc drives are a pain for long-term laptop playing, IMO.

	Welcome aboard!

	I enjoyed it. Wasn't the greatest game ever made, but it was fun. I liked it and it was liking it that got me to pledge to Wasteland 2.

	He'll make his wall into a series of walls in a lattice pattern across the country... ...he's going to make America grate.

	My pledges to W2 and TTON were fueled by liking the pitch and thinking "yeah, I'd like to see this made". Realistically I only played two InXile games - hated one, liked the other, so its not like they had a track record with me like Obsidian. Nostalgia wasn't a factor - I firmly believe you can't go home again. Much like with PoE, my expectations for W2 were not very detailed "party based, isometric post-apocalyptic game". Overall I ended up liking it - in as much as I've played it (still haven't played it to completion yet). But since W2 wasn't out when pledges for TTON came up, my pledge was really based on "does this sound good" not "OMG! A sequel to Planescape: Torment (without Planescape)!" or "Man another InXile game! Boss!".

	Well some of us posted at Bioware...does that count?

	I probably would rate #2 better, albeit I never actually finished either Mask of the Betrayer OR Storms of Zehir yet.

	Wasn't the "New 3DS" the "3DS 2" essentially?

	Superman has been pretty good. Haven't read much of Batman other than Detective, which has been an interesting idea (Batman recruits Batwoman to create a Bat-Team of Red Robin, Spoiler, Black Bat, and Clayface as they face an unknown threat (at least unknown at the start, known now) trying to take out costumed heroes in Gotham). Titans was a good lead in to relaunch but the relaunch issues I've read so far are a bit of a slow burn. Haven't read the Supergirl book yet. Wonder Woman has been pretty good and I was intrigued by the first issue of Superwoman. Batgirl was a good relaunch, Batgirl and the BOP I'm not yet sold on. And I'm getting Deathstroke simply because of Christopher Priest writing it.

	"Well, if I was gonna kill you, I wouldn't do a dumb thing like hitting you on the head. First of all, I don't like the fingerprint angle. Of course, I could always wear gloves. Press your hands against the pipe after you were dead and make you look like a suicide. Except it don't seem hardly likely that you'd beat yourself to death with a club. I'd murder you so it didn't look like murder." - Herbie Hawkins, Shadow of a Doubt

	He's arguing to my understanding that intelligent thought is independent of any form and that form limits thought. In a way it is not that dissimilar to Socrates/Plato's "Allegory of the Cave". Mind you that's what I'm receiving. What he's actually sending may be completely different. Due to the inadequacies of words to convey the truest thought, natch.
