When I see a critic site, like Rotten Tomatoes come up with a 56% you know what that means to me? I will either like it, or I won't.

Funny enough, that's every movie I've ever seen. I liked it, or I didn't.

Critics didn't help me come to that decision. Another person's review didn't help me come to that decision.

People need to make up their own minds.

It is absolutely ok to like or not like a movie, it is ok to express those opinions, it is not ok to expect anyone else to value your opinion over their ability to make up their own mind.

@thatguythere said in Changeling the Lost 2e: The Huntsman Chronicles:

It hearkens back to the one thing that absolutely ruins Werewolf 2.0 for me, your tribe is defined by your preferred play, that is great on the surface but ruins the game for me because the spirit side of things has always been my favorite part of werewolf, yet i have no interest in playing a Bone Shadow, they just don't appeal to me, so Yay I am effectively cut off from playing in the part of the world I like most.

This is just a misunderstanding I believe. Though this isn't for this thread per se (I don't know about 2.0 CtL for example) but if you were an Ithaeur, you were /about the spirits/ regardless of your tribe.

Bone Shadow was just the tribe that focused on them, even their Rahu and everything else had a very spirit bend to it.

Ithaeur Bone Talons, for example, know a hell of a lot about Spirits, they just focused more on taking out enemy Totems than random big bad spirit over there. So I would assume that it's not impossible to have some variety in what you can and cannot do. If there's one thing about nWoD/CoD is that there are lots of ways to play counter to type.

Hell they have pretty Nosferatu, so while you may be an Ogre which may be strength focused, I don't see that really stopping you from being /anything else/ either. It's not /all/ you are.

As for the Fairest/Sidhe being about leadership etc, there's a lot of ways to lead. Some of the most effective leaders in history, were not nice people.

That's exactly it, you have to go into a movie looking at it by itself, not trying to compare it to the books. A book is an entirely different media, much of it filled with your imagination, there are huge gaps and differences in style and flavor. I can enjoy a book for what it is, and a movie for what it is. They are two different things entirely.

@surreality I recognize him from the 2nd and third prequel Death Race movies (of the Jason Statham reboot) which were surprisingly entertaining.

@ashen-shugar

@ghost The funny part, is he didn't see it. Still doesn't see it. And won't see it.

That is so adorbs!

I think part of the problem is considering them mini games.

If they are part of the system as a whole, and a part of the focus of the game, then they are not mini-games, they are /part of the game/.

A mini-game to me is something inside the game that has absolutely nothing to do with it, for example:

Being able to play checkers while nothing is happening.

The checkers aren't a part of the game, they're just there as something to /do/ when there is nothing else to do.

@auspice Cut them open, put entirely to much butter to be healthy in the middle, let it melt just a touch...

So.

Good.

@prototart said in Game Restarts:

I can't actually think of any games that decided to restart that actually, like, started again after it was decided to restart

I am /still/ waiting for Treyvan 2.0...

@deadculture I don't mind covers, but there are some I think that give respect to the source material, and some that annoy the piss out of me because they try to take ownership of the song that /is not fucking theirs'/.

I'm looking at you Five Finger Buttmunch.

I always wanted a third age game from a mirror world with no dragon, no big names, there may be people in those same positions but they aren't FC's. Like for example: The Dragon is being Reborn, but nobody knows who it is yet. The Forsaken are known to be active (NPC's for plots), the big heroes are being reborn etc but nobody knows who they are, PC Male Channelers could try to become the Dragon, let the cards fall where they may with zero big FC's to push stuff.

So you wouldn't even need to mention anything about the book chars at all. They just never existed in this turn of the wheel.

I live in Florida.

We are expecting /SNOW/ tonight.

I moved to Florida because I /HATE/ snow.

FML.

@calindra Considering that Greece traded with Egypt a fair bit, and people roamed a lot (Like whole armies of a lot, hello Persians! Hello Alexander! Etc) there's no reason why you couldn't make an Egyptian unless staff were like:

No.

Mac and cheese, with sliced up smoked sausage, or even plain hot dogs. Horribly not good for you, but so frikken good...

@calindra That's fair, I would prefer an Egypt setting myself, so long as it wasn't as white washed as Gods of Egypt was.

@derp Hate to break it to you, but there hasn't been an evolutionary leap in the past 20 years.

@Arkandel Kinda reminds me of the way Fate does magic in Dresden Files. You can do stuff on the fly, but if you have something specialized you are better at it.

I know I say Fate a lot but sometimes, it just works, and WoT is very cinematic.

I can third Jumanji, was surprisingly entertaining and fun. Jack Black imho, stole the show though everyone had their moments.

***=Not exactly a spoiler really but, people bitch about everything these days. You'll understand when you see the movie.***

When you've been in a stupid argument about something stupid, and can step back, and just give a mea culpa and still find great stories with people.
