  1. Oh man, I had the same Gabriel Knight 2 experience as Rob. No idea how I didn't pick up on any of that stuff as I played it.

     

    Also the adventure game that Danielle talks about after that is Moebius, it was in fact designed by Jane Jensen, and it's TERRIBLE. I don't know how the writing in it was so bad considering she wrote my favorite adventure game series, cowrote the best King's Quest, and even her game before Moebius, Gray Matter, was fine if kind of corny. It was also really buggy and the art design was bad too.

    Thanks MechaTofuPirate. I love Angelo's music so much, been waiting for some new pieces 😊

     

    Excellent episode again. Constantly twisting. Serisously, did ANYBODY guess the mystery of the spray painted shovels????

     

     

    Didn't Chris and Jake speculate that it would end up being something meaningless? I think that's the closest anyone could reasonably get. Loved it.


  3. Man, this episode sure reminded me how angry Warrior Within makes me. There's definitely worse sequels to games (Duke Nukem Forever) but I can't think of any that I hate more than Warrior Within.

     

    Rob also reminded me of the dead ends Sierra games often had. Even if it was only one or two, I basically have to play through the games with a walkthrough because knowing that they're in the game makes me question everything I do. There were only a handful of Sierra games that didn't have dead ends.


  4. Man I really really loved the conversation between Cole and Albert at the end. Although I'm a little confused, is Philip Jeffries still alive then? I know Bowie is dead so they would have to work around that, and it seemed like Evil Coop thought he was talking to him but probably wasn't, but they're sure bringing him up a lot for a character that only came up for a couple of minutes in the movie.


  5. I thought the first episode of the new season was fine but Cry Wilderness was the episode that really sold me on the new series. I think it's maybe because the movie is just so bizarre and that's when the show seems to work the best for me, where Reptillicus is just a crappy monster movie and I get why they chose that as an intro episode, but there was so much more they could do with Cry Wilderness.


  6. I heard of it and it looked good but I remember just being so burnt out on politics at the time because the United States had such a painful election that I just wanted nothing to do with the game. But now that I've had some time away from that I'll add it to my wishlist and buy it when my backlog clears up a little bit and I have some more money saved up.


  7. I have no idea how to fix it aside from being extremely patient and trying to explain to 30% of the country that anyone critical of Trump isn't "fake news." It's ridiculous we have to do that while a large portion of them are actively shitting on anyone that isn't a straight white male but it's the only way I think it can be fixed.


  8. Just got the book and it's my next book to read. I loved his previous two books but I'm glad that you have said it's not a horror novel so I know that going into it instead of finding out halfway through and being disappointed.


  9. True but that seems kind of hard when they're so hated that they inspire the world's biggest protest. I think we'll be ok if we just keep vigilant by protesting, supporting local democratic clubs, and constantly calling local reps into voting against Trump.

    For what it's worth, he's already at a 35% approval rating and now is when it's supposed to be the highest. There will always be some sort of floor that the approval rating cannot drop below, because of evangelicals and other crazy people, but this isn't a good sign for him.


  11. Man, the last week has been insanely exhausting. Friday was super depressing, the Women's March was the most uplifting thing I've seen in a long time, and now I'm back to depressed after today. I've been slowly getting more involved with local politics by calling representatives, doing the Women's March and future protests, and helping my local Democratic club but holy shit, I really hope the next 4 years don't continue to be this intense.


  12. This might be better in the Three Moves Ahead sub-forum since there's war gamers there but I've heard Ultimate General: Gettysburg is really good from listening to the Three Moves Ahead podcast. I also enjoyed Unity of Command since it's not a genre I'm familiar with and it was because accessible but was still an interesting game.

    Starting a new job on Jan 2nd (with the same company, but different group), first new job in 10 years. Scared and excited,and nervous!

     

    I feel like an impostor, hopefully I can fake it until I make it.  

     

     

    I've felt that way about every new job I started. You'll be ok. It will just take a couple of weeks to get used to it.
