IM3 is probably the one marvel studios movie where the plot genuinely surprised me and i didn't come out of it feeling like i already knew everything that was gonna happen before i watched it

it rules

Which is funny because it's like the one MCU movie that you can skip entirely and not really lose anything as far as understanding that whole tangled web (I liked it too)

Also I'm really enjoying Monster in my Podcast so far, so thanks Duckfeed crew. Maybe you will finally get me to play the old 2E Infinity Engine games I've been sitting on for years.

E: Coincidentally enough, I think the last thing of note I did in my short-lived Baldur's Gate II playthrough was the Cult of the Unseeing Eye quest, which is Beholder-centric.

I love the bookclub aspect of WOFF and it motivates me to finish certain games before I let myself listen to the episodes. It got me to finally finish Earthbound and I won't crack into the New Vegas episode until I finally play through it. So in about 3 months at my current pace.

He's a somewhat prominent developer who will speak at length about *unethical games journalism* with little provocation, there's an audience for his delusion.

Some nobody whined to Dyack about Bob not liking Eternal Darkness on some old podcast from years ago and now Dyack keeps tweeting passive-aggressive poo poo at him and/or other people and trying to goad him into a "debate" and it's all so so dumb.

Quick question on the New Vegas WOFF:
I keep hearing people say Obsidion nearly went under after getting screwed over NV by Bethesda. Is that the 89.5% metacritic bonus thing G&K talked about, or something else?

The bonus did not help, but if I recall, they had been hired to create a title for Microsoft that folded, and I think this was when they pitched? an Aliens game that Sega shot down, instead getting burned themselves on Colonial Marines. Either way, it was a lot of money down the drain for nothing, and prior to going to Kickstarter for Pillars of Eternity, that combined with the endless delays of Stick of Truth through THQ's collapse left their finances on a razor's edge and teams were laid off.

Aliens Crucible was picked up and announced by Sega; Obsidian was working on it for years but I don't know that it ever hit full production, and it was cancelled on the same day Sega announced a new AvP game. They did leak some footage from a vertical slice but the people who worked on it have different opinions on how close it was to actually shipping.

There was another game they were doing that I never really looked into, a Snow White RPG for Disney or something.

This Dennis Dyack stuff is hilarious but honestly, he's a known bonkersboix. The real frustrating part, to me, is the guy who felt it was his duty to let a game creator know that a critic made fun of him. That's a fundamental misunderstanding of how the field of criticism and commentary works.

And I loving love Eternal Darkness.

The best part of the twitter back-and-forth was the dude (not sure if it was the original tweeter or just someone white-knighting for him) acting like he wasn't stirring poo poo because the review was openly available online, and Dyack could have found it of his own accord at any time. Also, it is very difficult to figure out whether poo poo like the guy tweeting about Bob loving with "the hand that feeds him #gamergate" are writing that poo poo ironically or if they are legit garbage human beings.

Um, you don't seem to understand, this is about ethics in offhand jokes made on gaming podcasts.

(note: Gary + Kole, you're hosed if anyone dev finds out that Abject Suffering exists. You're gonna be eating crow for making fun of Barbie's Horse Adventure Pals for years)

Dude is a Retronauts fan, supposedly. I guess he was just trying to keep us ethical and honest by broadcasting criticism to a known felon with a penchant for inciting hate mobs to go after anyone who violates his impossibly thin skin!
