quote:

Totally Not A Cylon2 hours ago (edited)
SHELOB IS A GIANT SPIDER

SHES THE CHILD OF UNGOLIANT, A SPIDER SO FULL OF EVIL AND HATE AND DESIRE TO EAT EVERYTHING THAT IT LITERALLY ATE ITSELF BECAUSE IT RAN OUT OF OTHER LIVING THINGS TO KILL AND EAT

SHES THE CHILD OF THE CREATURE THAT HELPED THE MANIFESTATION AND ORIGIN OF EVERYTHING BAD IN THE TOLKIEN UNIVERSE (Morgoth/Melkor) DESTROY THE MOST HOLY THINGS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD AT THAT TIME (The Two Trees of Valinor)

SHELOB WOULD NOT loving CARE TO LOOK LIKE A HOT CHICK. SHE WOULDNT CARE. SHE EATS ORCS. DO YOU THINK SOMEONE WHO EATS ORCS AND IS DRIVEN BY NOTHING BUT A DESIRE TO KILL AND EAT THINGS WOULD BE BOTHERED BY HOW THEY LOOK?

NO. SHES A SPIDER. SHE WOULD EAT YOU.

FOR gently caress SAKE

I only just found out about human form Shelob from it and boy, what a dumb decision. Also, microtransactions, because of loving course.

But really, I would have been SO MUCH HAPPIER to work alongside a giant, horrific evil spider than it conveniently taking a normal-sized human woman form in a sexy dress, because as he says, that's been done to loving death

On the other hand, I managed to get a friend of mine to not believe every image macro of PETA-esque "animal cruelty" she sees because of the infamous sheep-shearing image, by showing her exactly how the process actually works, so it's not always bad

There's a countdown timer on the NMS ARG now that ends in like 15 minutes, also NMS went on sale today on Humble and PSN so people seem to think this thing is happening today?? Prepare to be massively disappointed by this patch they've spent the last 4 months teasing

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

I can't wrap my head around how the devs of the game that's legendary for being overhyped decided to build more even more hype over it. What could they possibly announce that would justify this massive blueballing?

This is how sheep shearing actually is


(cut off, but it explains that overgrown sheep get weighed down, can't eat, etc due to the heavy fleece)

Unrelated, since Middle Earth:Shadow of War is going to be stuffing microtransactions in, I'm curious if people respond badly to it if WB is going to think it's the fact they pushed microtransactions, or assume it's the ip's fault.

In other words, is it gonna be another Dead Space 3/Deus ex Mankind Divided where publisher overreach killed the ip.

WB does this poo poo with literally every game they publish so I doubt the new LotR game somehow flopping is going to make them reconsider.

The same people that just made poo poo up to hype themselves up about the first time around are doing it all over again this time, its kind of amazing.

Impressive! But as a person who is not a fan of spiders nor sexy ladies, the idea of a spider becoming a sexy lady makes me want to cower under my bed.

Majestic seemed pretty cool until 9/11 shut that down and probably killed ARGs for a decade.

The portal 2 ARG was pretty cool when it was just a neat way to share concept art. I found it pretty novel from before E3 all the way up until the potato part, at which point it became "spend lots of money on these random games we picked and Portal 2 MIGHT come out up to SIX HOURS EARLIER"

edit: Actually it was 9 hours early but whoop de doo

I don't think anyone realized it had anything to do with No Man's Sky until it was like halfway through, its about women uploaded into computers to be AIs and cyberpunk poo poo. People that like ARGs seemed to be way into this one but those people are weird

to be fair the prize for doing all the potatoes was you got every valve game for free forever. but little did people realize portal 2 would be the last valve game so their prize was meaningless
