    First Ariel, now 007 is casted with a Black Female Actress. (Craig is still James Bond)

    I won't disagree there. Terminator Genysis was so awful I couldn't believe it made it past test screening. I think for Bond in particular I'm disappointed because I am a fan. I don't care about the others, they can ruin them all day long. Identity politics is pure evil masquerading as virtue and...

    No One Lives Forever! The Revival

    No One Lives Forever and its sequel were brilliant. They were fun, memorable and a real shame there wasn't more like it. I'd love to see a new take on them, along with Soldier of Fortune and a few other forgotten titles.

    Shady key reseller G2A wants to fix shady image by being shady.

    I am tempted to give it a try. I've had Humble Monthly for a year or so now, and while there have been some occasional wins from the games included with the subscription, the trouble is any game I'm interested in owning, chances are I already do. So the majority of keys I get are for games I...

    Just another glorious day here in Off-Topic

    When the site relaunched, the newly-returned and since-departed EiC Russ Pitts pledged "We?re leaving politics at the door." Despite that pledge, this site has become a political discussion forum with occasional game news. Used to be a site to come to discuss and share a love of games and...

    [Politics] "Pregnant Woman Indicted For Baby's Death After Being Shot"

    I don't understand why you're focusing on an irrelevant part of the case. It wouldn't be noteworthy if an attacker were shot in self-defence. The remarkable part of this is the attacker being charged with manslaughter for the death of the baby she was carrying. That's the crazy part that isn't...

    Summer Steam sale mid point damage report.

    RE7, Everspace, Sunless Skies. I'm tempted to pick up Pathfinder Kingmaker. I want it, but even discounted and factoring the Season Pass, the "full game" is still normal priced. Other games aren't discounted at all or it's barely noticeable.

    Say something nice about a game you hate

    Ubisoft games have...ummm....graphics in them.

    [Politics] "Pregnant Woman Indicted For Baby's Death After Being Shot"

    I'm not sure that's relevant to the discussion at hand. It might be a different subject entirely (when is using a gun justified), but that isn't what the story is about. The story here is that she's charged with killing her unborn baby, not whether a gun should or should not have been used...

    [Politics] "Pregnant Woman Indicted For Baby's Death After Being Shot"

    Evidently I don't get it. Is the point that you don't believe the conclusion from the police investigation? Because that's an entirely different discussion and I don't know what that is being based on. Are you saying the police are wrong? The the pregnant woman didn't start the fight? That it...

    [Politics] "Pregnant Woman Indicted For Baby's Death After Being Shot"

    That part isn't disputed. The article specifically says: "The police investigation determined that it wasn't Jemison who was to blame for the shooting."

    [Politics] "Pregnant Woman Indicted For Baby's Death After Being Shot"

    It seems the entire issue is predicated on the fact that, based on the article, she specifically is *not* the victim. She was the aggressor, hence she's the one being charged.

    [Politics] "Pregnant Woman Indicted For Baby's Death After Being Shot"

    Not saying I agree, I am saying I understand the argument. It makes sense from a point of view. If you take the baby out of the picture completely for a moment and conclude that the lady started the fight and was shot in self-defence, then she is liable for her own injury and any sustained by...

    CDPR on Cyberpunk 2077 backlash

    They clearly didn't watch the opening of the DE:HR trailer (9 years ago this month!): There was a great thread on these forums some years ago. Someone wrote a lengthy post on why/how the "punk" had been missing from so many so called steam/diesel/cyber punk games. I've tried to find it...

    [Politics] "Pregnant Woman Indicted For Baby's Death After Being Shot"

    I just read that. It's an absurd story, and while the whole thing is ridiculous, I can see the argument from the prosecutions point of view. Strictly on the basis of who was to blame for the fight breaking out in the first place, this lady was the instigator. But for her actions, the person she...

    Mortal Kombat Devs traumatised by creating the gore in the game

    I know, I know. I just wanted to show off that I saw them live last week 😁
