It was Star Fox 64 for me as well. My mom's friend has two sons that are a few years older than me and they had an N64. Whenever we visited I plopped down in front of it and threw myself at the first two levels over and over. My theory is that Star Fox being a flight game is the reason why I...

Ahh, I just realized I regurgitated the same story you told me. Sorry about the brain fart. I misread and thought you were talking about Divinity 1. There is a small aid station in the first town in that game and I thought that's what you were mentioning.

Even though I didn't like it I will give the first game props for that kind of attention to detail. The Divinity games (in my limited experience obviously) both seem to do a great job of making you feel like part of the world rather than someone that's been dropped in just to experience the...

Despite never clicking with the first game I finally bought and started Divinity Original Sin 2 based on the glowing recommendation of a friend. I have to say, I get it now. I'm still on the initial island (Fort Joy/Swamps) but it is miles better than the first game. Systems mostly make sense...

Dune! The trailers looked good and I figured I should finally get around to giving the book a shot. Loved it. I'm almost done with Children of Dune and plan to finish out the Frank Herbert books.

Firefox for me. Seems this forum is a bastion of Firefox loyalists.

Here's a recommendation - The Black Company. I've seen many refer to it as one of the progenitors of "grim dark" fantasy. It's extremely grounded and reads more like war fiction than traditional fantasy. Bad dudes doing questionable things just to survive while somehow always coming out on top...

Hmm interesting. I have trouble imaging that scene would take place so early. My thought was that it's either a bookend sequence teasing part 2 or one of Paul's visions. Perhaps he is seeing him and the the Fedaykin taking on the Sardaukar. Or it's him getting a glimpse of the coming jihad.

I came around to it. I was inspired to read the first book thanks to the trailer from last year which I think was much stronger. It felt more like Dune to me than the more action oriented and blockbuster approach of trailer 2. I understand they have to market this movie to people who don't know...

It's quite possible there was something before this, but the first game that I really remember and that made an impression on me was Star Fox 64. My mom's friend had two sons who were older than me that plopped me in front of their N64 primarily to get me to leave them alone. I was terrible and...

Swappable faceplates... Anyone remember these? Highschool me thought my Gears of War faceplates was f*cking sick

Yup, I'm pretty sensitive to these things. I notice differences in resolution very easily. Oftentimes I am questioning why something isn't playing at a particular resolution and trying to fix it while my girlfriend hasn't even noticed yet. In my own experience and based on no evidence...

Just tons of comics. In addition to Wednesday new releases I've been taking this time to finally read through Sandman. I'm on volume 5 now and I've enjoyed every second of it so far. It really is an amazing series and deserving of its reputation. I can also check Watchmen off of my list which...

Personally I enjoy heading to my local shop every Wednesday for new books. It's a nice hallmark of my week. I strongly prefer physical to digital comics. The reading experience is just different. And, with comics costing as much as they do, I feel better spending that money on a physical item...

Nah, nothing wrong with revisiting an old friend. Am I a little embarrassed about how many times I've played the Arkham games? Yeah, but that won't stop me from continuing to do so.
