I'm just hoping we see a lot more of the original kaiju get to duke it out before we see them introduce mecha-godzilla. But I have this little wiggle in the back of my head that whispers to me the studio will be eager to get started on that particular battle, due to the popularity of mecha-godzilla in pop culture and whatnot.
@Ganymede
Which funny enough I thought both Shape of Water and Wall-E were just bad movies. Which could just be me.
On the other hand, I enjoy monster movies where great swathes of the human population get wiped out. Go go Godzilla.
@Ghost
The consistent reasoning I'm finding is because the lack of storyline and better developed human characters.
Which leaves me thinking, "It's a kaiju movie. Fuck the humans."
The movie was great as it was.
Div Sin was an amazing game. Div Sin 2 is even better and I love playing the various builds that you can do with the game or playing with the skills and making new ones.
@Ghost said in General Video Game Thread:
"highly repetitive Fortnite-styled overgrown microtransaction cell phone game version of Monster Hunter: World".
That is pretty much exactly what it is. But I would say the microtransactions are not as predatory as they could be since it is mostly for cosmetics. The Ace Chips are the one item that is not purely cosmetic and can seriously tilt the game in your favor in terms of assisting loot crafting. Whales paying into the game through this particular microtransaction will be a step above those who do not.
The game developers deserve a lot of credit, as a free to play it is cross-platform across Playstation, Xbox, and through the Epic Games platform for PC.
I got the feeling going past season 2 that the writers started actually making the procedural aspects as its own kind of character, in the way that it helped develop other characters.
I was apprehensive about the show getting picked up by Netflix but after watching all of it, I thought the entire season was pretty great - you can tell the writers had a lot more creative flexibility than they did working at Fox.

If you like that kind of casual interaction in an interview show you might check out the Hot Ones, done by First We Feast on Youtube.

Yeah go play some games man. Remember you can't have slaughter without laughter. Go shoot faces or something.
@Ghost
If you're going to have them do Journey how can you skip the irony of using Don't Stop Believing?
@Ghost
Well definitely is the weirdest story I've heard so far this weekend. The first thing that popped into my head was "Hail Zoltan."
Now for my bit of RL Anger. I hate ADT sales agents and AT&T seems incompetent.
Just two things:
Gris is on sale, 33% off. Now it may drop further during the summer sale but $11.50 is a good price for an excellent game.
Bloodstained is now up for pre-order. If you love Castlevania style games and you specifically enjoyed Symphony of the Night, I highly recommend checking this out.
@Tempest
I understand your impatience. I'm waiting for the pre-order to hit Steam and I'm watching for the collector's edition.
Humble has Guacamelee for free. Lasts just a few days though.
I just found out today that my entire raiding guild is going to be playing classic. That will be interesting.

I have not read other's replies in this forum but I will offer my thoughts on this:
I had a character on The Reach that I did not make a wiki for, because mostly I hated the wiki they used but also because by that point I had gotten pretty lazy about keeping wikis up to date and I stopped caring.
When I got into RP with the character I had noticed a huge difference in the RP that I received. People were more interested in meeting the character and there were fewer slip outs during scenes because there was actually genuine curiosity. I had one scene where another character kept trying to figure out precisely what my character was in terms of splat, by discreet questioning and the subtle use of powers.
I had more fun on that character than on my other Reach characters precisely because people could not be 100% certain whom or what they were dealing with. I think in this case the whole keeping up with wikis and adding PBs was more harmful to creating RP than facilitating it.
Now to contrast, RFK used wikis and PBs quite openly but also made it policy that what was on the wiki was in-character information that could be reasonably discovered about your character without in-depth investigations. This meant people were more circumspect about went into their wiki and how they treated it. Since it was a single sphere game there was no need for some kind of OOC Masq - and it is here that I think wikis worked best. At a glance, you could get an idea of things known about a character, their status, and other details without having to spend time investigating it and in these cases I saw these things generate quite a bit of RP.
