She was way into the paranormal too, she just wanted proof--which is why she was so annoyed the episode she was two minutes into an alien autopsy only to realize it was a cadaver in a rubber costume.

Foxhound posted:Can someone explain to me the appeal of fighting games and how they aren't just advanced rock-paper-scissors simulators? If you take Sirlin too seriously he'll only become powerful, and no one wants that. Move a will always beat move b when both moves are performed precisely. If I screw up on the timing of my anti-air uppercut, it won't work--or if you jump short so your hop in attack doesn't actually reach me so my perfectly timed response still falls short. So if you want to jump in on me and I keep stuffing you out of the sky, you can drive in faster to beat out my reactions, or slower to bait out a psychic DP, or you can start mixing in fireballs and traps, or you can approach on foot and jump past me for the cross up, or you can switch tactics until I'm tossed off of my DP plan, or you can just mash your face into that wall. And all that's assuming you want to, for some reason, force a jump in attack--if you can predict that I'm going to respond to your assault with a DP, then why aren't you using your quarter second of strategic insight to drive in with something that beats it? A (good) fighting game is a simple, two character strategy game played at maximum speed. Juggle your dozens of options, choose a small selection of favorite ones, rotate through them often enough so your technique doesn't get stale, vary your executions and responses to expand that small selection to an almost impossibly wide one, and figure out what your opponent is trying to do, all against a background of kinetically pleasing action and big titty guitar witches. Saying that's the same as a playground game is intentionally reductionist.

Captain Invictus posted:I got the first volume of GTO a really long time ago at a discount book store but never got around to the rest of the series, I hear it goes some really, really dumb places later on. Like, Happy Days-level nonsense shenanigans, does it jump the shark at a point like I've heard, or what?  Things... happen in GTO. There's Heihachi, the 98th opponent when Onizuka said he could defeat 100 high school students in arm wrestling consecutively. The ending's not bad, though, and there's a series of good conclusions to the various plotlines. The animosity with the vice principal is concluded especially well. But a lot of the stories near the end revolve around how badly he wants to sleep with teenage girls, and all the sequels to GTO don't go anywhere or do anything besides remind you of the original.

Dias posted:Huh, as also an XCom noob I'm also going for Sectoids first above everything else because I always get panicked, throw a grenade and kill my troops if I focus on ADVENT Officers instead. I've only seen one grenade throw from a panic'd soldier. Granted, it was hilarious and blew up two of my own dudes. But in general, a single soldier or leader is much, much more likely to kill one of your men than a panicked soldier will, and if you kill a soldier while remaining in cover, the sectoid will almost certainly waste his turn making a zombie. Sectoids suck and can be largely ignored. Later psychic enemies are much, much more dangerous, and can't be ignored.

Baal posted:Why the gently caress is Pat saying Mercenaries is a tertiary mode, when it's been one of the most enjoyed and played parts of RE since RE4? Like it's always been a huge attraction to these games and even got a spinoff game that was also a lot of fun, if not needed to be on consoles rather than the 3DS. Well, there's the fact you need to slog through all goddamn four of those campaigns before it unlocks. I don't want to spend five hours failing to save dozens of innocents only to fight Simmons a dozen times. I certainly don't want to repeat that three more times before I get to the fun part of the game.

HGH posted:Is Minecraft some sort of weird self inflicted punishment? Even after their explanations I don't get the guys' logic. I seriously hope they quit at Episode 1 or something but... They took a game they didn't think they would enjoy and tried as hard as they could to ruin it, because that might be funny. Hasn't been yet. I wish they paid enough attention to the plot to, you know. Understand the choices. Recognize the main character's name. Not give up on talking about the game until at least thirty seconds in.

Improbable Lobster posted:It's a moot point since by the time Deus Ex 1 rolls around augmentation has been replaced with surgery free and equally effective nanomachines. In Deus Ex, one of the major antagonists is Gunther Hermann, an enhanced cyborg who's lost his future because the new model (protagonist and nanomachine enhanced JC Denton) has better technological specifications. His employers eventually send him on a suicide mission because it's cheaper and easier to upgrade new soldiers to top of the line models than to break Gunther down and rebuild him again. Gunther embraced human augmentation, and in the long run it left him obsolete and useless. Just upgrading people by slapping machines in them isn't a great way to guarantee a better future.

ArclightBorealis posted:Honestly, I didn't see the mechanical aug issue regarding Gunther and Anna as that big a deal in the grand scheme of things compared to the melting pot of every major and minor conspiracy theory imaginable that made up original Deus Ex's plot. Yeah, it was present, but not at every moment when you're dicking around in places like Hong Kong and Paris where every poor sod is expositing about secret societies and poo poo with 100% seriousness. Right at the beginning of Deus Ex you get to see some soldiers discussing whether or not Gunther's a huge shining example of the ideal soldier, or doomed to be thrown away because of his part in the, "Cult of the Machine," the meme that improving yourself by replacing your body with machines will help. Later in the game, he's sent on a suicide mission because his owner is tired of listening to him bitch about getting upgrades to stay competitive with other soldiers--his desire to improve himself is considered a liability by the very people who employ him to kill their enemies. He's had a long career of doing that very successfully--somewhere they mention that he's got a kill count of well over a thousand combatants, which is nuts. Deus Ex makes a clear statement that treating humans as disposable equipment is an absolute evil, whether it be sending outdated soldiers to be slaughtered by the newest model so you don't have to pay their retirement, or murdering millions with a bio engineered plague to jerk politicians around with artificially limited stores of the cure. All three endings--the AI god, the collapse of governments for city-states, and the triumph of the illuminati--are attempts to protect all humans, not just those with the best and newest augmentations.

The newest trailer shows that a certain character will be in the Civil War movie. Thing is, they announced that character about a year ago, sooooooooooooooooo who gives a gently caress. Oh, wait, Woolie and Liam do, because they watch every single trailer and are offended that the trailers are telling them things because they wanted to go into the movie not knowing anything about it, even though they discussed that very character being in the movie back on the podcast when he was first announced.

RareAcumen posted:Talk more about Watamote because I saw it and I was thinking about looking at it but then someone described it as 'horrible anti-social girl is a terrible person for 24 minutes' and I lost all will to take a look at it. Watamote is about a socially awkward young girl who wants to be more popular and have more friends, but is deeply ashamed of everything she ever thinks about ever, embarrassed by her sexual inexperience, (I think she's like fifteen) and holds every single person in her class she supposedly wants to be friends with in complete contempt. As a result, she spends most of her life hiding inside thinking about murder and penises.      That young man she's propositioning is her brother, by the way. She actually has a few good friends who keep an eye on her, which is nice. Still, if you're neurotic or were ever a teenager, reading Watamote is genuinely painful.
