For those who do not mind having -yet another launcher- Pillars of Eternity Definitive Edition is free to Twitch Prime users today (July 3rd) only. Its DRM free but requires downloading the Twitch App.

So the second trailer for Battle Angel Alita has dropped and I'm definitely looking forward to the movie. The first trailer left me with a bit of dubiousness but now I'm set.

That was my take away from the whole thing. I do not see Arenanet in the wrong on this one - although I think Peter should have probably been suspended, that was the only heavy handed result I think came out of it.

This. I think that S3 Daredevil was the best of all three seasons so far. And I loved the Punisher arc in S2. I am going to admit I think that D'Onofrio stole every scene he was in. He owned the Kingpin identity and has ruined any other actor attempting the role anywhere else for me, for the foreseeable future.

Very short time window of free

I would have loved to see someone like Byung-Hun Lee playing Danny Rand as Iron Fist.

I had to hit up google to learn how much of a thing that pronoun issue was. I did not even think anything of it when making my characters in the game.

Just goes to show how much a vocal minority can put a ruinous spin on something.

It really depends on the state and how they deal with harassment charges. Sometimes they overlap into other charges such as stalking, for example. Some states just have general misdemeanor charges for harassment and others take them up to felony charges where they have these overlaps. So you will want to be sure of what exactly you are filing with the PD.

When you go to make your filing with the PD, be as specific as possible to detail what is being done and how you are being harassed by this - be as factual as possible. If you have any records of the harassment, such as if they were done via text or email, providing copies of this information can only be more helpful. Showing a pattern is more useful than if it has just happened once or twice. If you want charges you file to not just be a report to the police and you want to push for action against the person, you may want to consult an attorney first.

By the time I got my gamepad I had my jump and targeting remapped to my gaming mouse. So I could not really tell you how to best deal with that. Which means my best suggestion is to move those essentials to your mouse if you have a multi-button mouse.

As for my off-spec, in WoW, I ran tank/dps split spec and I just remapped my primary functions to the top two rows with necessary secondaries to the bottom two rows - and since the buttons changed when you swapped specs all that needed to be keyed on a switch was top two rows.

In addition, as I mapped each skill row I moved those rows into the same formation as my gamepad on screen too and then shrunk them down. That helped me get used to my setups.

I have sympathies for anyone stuck doing inventory in any kind of retail environment. I had to do that shit working at Radioshack and it was never a pleasant experience and corporate often did all they could to make it a horrifying painful night.

I would have rather swallowed razorblades.

The first few weeks when the game was out, HBS did a poll and Dekker was the most killed character in the game. It was pretty amusing the memorials people were writing to him.

@auspice
Well good news, Atomic Blonde 2 is in development.

Damn you beat me to it. I was just here to drop the news. I got to talk to someone today about some details for it.

Well...?

I typoed. I get to talk to someone today. Not got to. If it is things I can share I will.

@Arkandel said in Good TV:

But yeah, Number 4 was damn good, too. I wasn't too impressed with Elen Page though, I expected her to steal every scene but she was outperformed.

I felt this way too. Some of her scenes were just painful to watch through and her acting was just subpar compared to everyone else.

Also it took me 4 episodes to realize that Sir Reginald was Colm Feore and I had to look it up on IMDB to be sure.

I'm very late, sorry guys. I have a scoop but many of you may have noticed it. Bloodlines 2 is up for Pre-Order as of today, which is about all I can say. I was encouraged to tell people interested to check out and sign up for the Paradox forums for Bloodlines, there should be a lot of stuff coming out about it in the weeks ahead. I can say what I learned gives me some good high hopes for the game.

But as always, it is a pre-order. Do so at your own risk.

@SG
I've been watching him for a while now and there are things that he will open and I go, "don't eat that." and he eats it and doesn't die. I think he has an iron stomach or something. Of course he does manage to get some really well preserved MREs but still...I would not eat food out of a 70 year old MRE.

@Ghost
See it is shit like that, which makes me glad that I have not bought anything from EA or off Origin since ME3 came out.

It is very rarely that I would advocate going to see a movie in the theater, given prices in my area, but I would recommend experiencing Us (if you like horror movies) in the theater.

The movie is tightly put together and was really well done.

@Ghost
It almost sounds like you're talking about the Indoctrination Theory, which was a fan-made theory that put a lot of things that didn't make sense across ME1-3 into perspective.

The only thing for certain that I do remember before Bioware changed how the whole ending fired off - was that if you took the Renegade option, it was the only option where at the end of the credits there was an end-game scene where you saw Shep's body and the character wakes up. And in the ~10 seconds of scene footage, it looks like you are still in the wreckage just prior to entering the gate that would have taken you up to the Citadel.

The other two options did not have such a thing. To a lot of people, that indicated that this was the best choice and the true ending of the game.

Anyways, here is a link for the Indoctrination Theory if you're interested in looking at it.

Did anyone else notice the narrator for When The Yogurt Took Over, was the voice actor for Brain from The Animaniacs?
