    Advice for Shadowrun 5e

    Shadowrun 5e has a TERRIBLE formatting problem, yes. Most of the expansion books don't have indexes, even though they're crucial for RPG books for obvious reasons. Basically they seem to be built around the idea of you having electronic copies and being able to ctrl-f everything. It's also...

    Original Arkham games actually look better than the remaster

    I really get the impression that they've done something along the lines of "Look, we can actually have his hair be dozens of individually rendered and physically interacting objects in game! Isn't technology incredible?" And it's like, yeah that's impressive, but it still doesn't look half as...

    Original Arkham games actually look better than the remaster

    Most of these changes just seem to be to make things look more... Comic book-y. More vibrant colours, bigger contrast, slightly less practical design... For instance, look at how Catwoman's costume seems to have gotten a lot more glossy and shiny. Which looks neat, but probably not very...

    Soooo.... James "AVGN" Rolfe is in the news this week..

    Umm. That website literally lets anyone write a new story on there. If you go to the homepage, there's a button at the top that says "Write a Story" and a tag lower down that literally says "Anyone can write on Medium". That particular story was written by someone who has only posted one story...

    James Bond cannot be genderbent

    One of those people isn't fictional, so that's a bit of a false equivalence. Would they still get to wear the booty shorts/zero suit respectively? Asking for a friend! :D

    (2016 Discussion) Gone Home

    Yeah, basically this. My recommendation at the time was "If you want to wait for a sale, wait for a sale. That's what Steam is for." Because aside from the price point, the length is perfect; it keeps your attention for that full time, doesn't feel padded out, and is perfect to be played in one...

    NASA Founds The Official Planetary Defense Office

    The PDCO tried to organise their first committee meeting earlier this week. They were killed to a man.

    Zero Punctuation: Top 5 Games of 2015

    Thank you for this response! I'm so fed up with this disingenuous and cynical idea that if something is very popular but you don't like it, then the fans must be being dishonest about liking it. I would have thought that Yahtzee liking Undertale would prove that it's not just people being...

    Steam acting weird for anyone?

    Well I fucked up by clicking around for ages, and then logging out when I actually realised just how bad it is; but now I presume that I'd just make things even worse logging back in. But still, I guess I'd have to eventually turn off my laptop, and that would mean logging off anyway. So I'm...

    J.J. Abrams Talks About Why [Redacted] Had to [Redacted] in The Force Awakens

    Or as I thought at the time, "Wait, that's not a voice modifier? He's... He's actually just that nasal. Oh." Yeah, I'm gonna be pissed if Captain Phasma is gone for good. "The new Boba Fett" summarises it perfectly. I imagine something like... "Is there a garbage chute... Maybe a trash...

    Any Resident Evil 6 fans on The Escapist?

    Yeah, I think you're right. Well, I think the big problem was that I'd come into Resident Evil 6 right off the back of RE5, so I was in this mindset of being slow and methodical from a distance, and that if any enemies did get close, then it was alright to panic a bit and shoot them up. Whereas...

    Marvels Jessica Jones is just extreme feminism and blaxploitation (Spoilers)

    Oh man, this is almost as funny as all those "Undertale is an SJW game" posts going around. "How am I supposed to enjoy this tv show if there's not a rape scene?! I mean, people are so sensitive these days, producers feel like they have to hide all the graphic rape..."

    Any Resident Evil 6 fans on The Escapist?

    To be honest, I started playing it, and at first I was enthralled. The presentation was really nice (like REALLY nice, in my opinion, I love the setting and the phone system and the way you pop pills into your hand for healing and everything) and the gameplay design was nicely tweaked from the...

    Mordheim - City of the Damned Review - Never Fight Alone

    I actually bought this ages ago when it was in early access, and at the time I was quite disappointed by how little content there was. However, since then I've seen massive update after massive update come in for the game, but I've never actually played it since that first time. I probably...

    XCOM 2 is What Happens When You Lose Enemy Unknown

    I am currently replaying Red Alert 2 since it was available for free on Origin a while back, along with the Yuri's Revenge expansion. And I for one was shocked, nay, appalled at the fact that in the expansion both the Allied and Soviet campaigns are based off of a timeline where the Allies win...
