Because one random person in the thread said it was over and everyone except for me is a dummy.
this is like when one random person in the E3 thread said alex wasn't going to e3 and everyone freaked out.
if VR's big moment is another shooting gallery game except this time its in a boat, then i'll continue waiting
Lol, watch the end of the most recent mass Alex.
she is totally coming back. I'm glad
Anyone else been having issues with the GB video player on Chrome? Both this week and last week watching the Bombcast the video player has crashed three times on me. Getting the "Aw Snap Something Broke" Chrome error out of nowhere. Might just need to watch on Firefox or something if this keeps up.
Haven't even checked the noms because they're garbage, but every now and again they get something right. This is one of them.
Oh wow, the whole main cast got a nomination. That's very well deserved!
Abby's Clone from Ozark got nominated too
thought the bald dude was part of his muscles for a secIs he as jacked as Big Dave Meltzer?
Original Sin 2 is definitely the most approachable cRPG out there (and it's funny because the game will absolutely destroy you if you go to the wrong areas too early).
Everything is pretty simple, everything is clearly labeled.
You have a sword and a shield? Level up "one handed" and "strength".
You use magic? Level up "intelligence" and whatever branch of magic you want to use.
You want to use this sword? Well, do you meet these clearly labeled requirements? Okay, you can use it, it works just as well as any other sword in that category.
You wanna go multiclass? Sure go for it. Go tripple class, and drop some points into this other class as well just to use the teleport spell, do what you want.
You fucked up? There's free respect you can use at any point, as often as you want.
You want to totally cheese the game by dropping a billion barrels on an enemy before the fight? Sure, go for it.
And the presentation is top notch too. All the spell effects look distinct. There are so many cool little details, like lizards actually leaving lizard footprints when you walk through blood. Every piece of armor shows up on your character and it looks different depending on your race. All the Polymorph spells could have just been recycled from other spells, but it's all unique. It's those little things that make it so good.
Every now and then poisonous fog will form to look like a skull during a battle. That's not necessary to the game but it's really neat when you notice it.
God, I love it so much
I was watching Crime Crew and then forgot to put the Bombcast on (again) despite working from home but if it's topical
in the past week I've looked at cans of Bang energy and 2 things stood out to me:
in the past week I've looked at cans of Bang energy and 2 things stood out to me:
- The "super creatine" is prominent advertised right there on the top ring of the can. Like I obviously expected it to be an advertised thing cause it has "super" in it, but I didn't expect it to be the thing they get you with.
- There's a flavor named "Rainbow Unicorn", but also a cotton candy flavor, which is what I would have expected a flavor named that to taste like. So I have no idea what that could possibly be now.
I love Mass Effect 2 but Arrival is such a weak closer to it. For what it tries to set up, it just feels too small and inconsequential. It needed to be a full midquel or something between ME2 and 3.
So glad Alex is considering

bringing Tali back.
Yeah for sure!
As someone who has never touched anything DnD on his life, all the weird stats, effects and dice rolls in the old Infinity Engine games are super overwhelming for me even if I'm sure most of it is still present behind the scene in DoS2.

Really, what OS2 did is sand down the stats which is probably the most confusing part about old RPGs. You have combat stats and you have out-of-combat stats and they don't really intermingle at all. You can put all your points into strength and still be a master thief.
One of the most infuriating aspects about older RPGs for new players is the "why are all of my attacks missing" issue and Divinity solves that by basically tying weapons (and armor) to one stat instead of the interwoven net a lot of older RPGs have. It's basically the same route XCOM took.
At the last Beastcast, when they couldn't name the EVE Online FPS from last gen, I said out loud, "Dust 514!" and was simultaneously shocked that I remembered that.
I forget basic shit every goddamn day and this I remember? What the fuck is wrong with me!?
