I have a burning question about both the Danganronpa and Zero Escape series: how scary and gory are they? I'm a big fan of the type of games these two are, but I'm slightly put off as they seem quite creepy and I wasn't sure how much gore/blood they show. It's be a shame for me to purchase them and not feel like playing them if they creep/gross me out too much.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the ship mechanics - I thought they'd be fiddly and off-putting but I agree, they were really solid parts of the game. The most rewarding part of the game was defeating all of the legendary ships.

Inquisition is a funny beast; I love Origins and have strange, unexplainable warm fuzzies towards DA2 and, for the first 10 hours or so, Inquisition didn't actually feel like it was set in the Dragon Age universe there was so little reference to the past games. It is sad how beloved characters in both games are either ignored or used largely for plot progression. Looking back I don't have the same connection to my Inquisitor as I do with my Warden, Hawke or Shepherd: she felt like a plot device rather than a character in development. I still very much enjoyed Inquisition, but it didn't feel like it had the same soul as the first two games or Mass Effect. In other news: I beat (platinum-ed) Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and it's DLC Freedom Cry. It was a massive step up from ACIII, which I loathed for it's needlessly serious plot, inane characters and a complete backwards leap on the immensely fun parkour nature of the series. Black Flag was more light-hearted, the characters were more interesting (though I am super peeved about one decision which I shall not go into here for spoiler-y reasons) and I somewhat enjoyed the current-day storytelling - for once! Freedom Cry wasn't as good as it had very obvious game bloat in the form of mission locks until you complete certain milestones and liberating slaves took more time than it should have considering the length of the actual storytelling. Overall, I enjoyed my time in the Black Flag universe (Ubiverse? ).

Hmm, I've not heard of this guy - I'll check out some old VoDs of his runs. I always look forward to these speed run marathons as they're both a show of extremely skilled players and a fun time. If anyone's looking for more recommendations of speed runners I really enjoyed Bonesaw577 (just a genuine person) and witwix (very funny and personable)'s runs in previous GDQs.

PSN ID: Zuzela I own a PS3, Vita and PS4. I mainly play single player games but I would be delighted to have some online company (and maybe some people to multiplayer games with if we have games in common). I play a range of games and am constantly eyeing up new games to try out too. It would be nice to have some friends on my currently deserted list: the tumbleweed isn't great company.

Hi all! First time posting here as a fairly new fan of Idle Thumbs and its community. I stumbled across the podcast when I took up a two-days-a-week filing job at my old place of work and needed something interesting to pass the time, and Idle Thumbs certainly delivered! I love the funny, thoughtful discussions about video games (and the random tangents) and it seems as though the community mirrors the content. Looking forward to spending my time here and meeting cool people.
