    Agreed! I like the actor's, but nothing in that trailer made me smile.
  2. Automation: Where did all the jobs go?!

    What scares me about basic income is putting all the social welfare eggs in one basket, ready accidentally dropped by a right wing government.

    I love Bojack's intro. I've even bought the song digitally, it's great.
  4. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    I guess I have the challenge and one other puzzle left. Seems pretty tough, though. I was really surprised by how many different places I hadn't seen yet.
  5. SPECTRE (new James Bond movie)

    I just saw Spectre and thought it was truly bad. Way too long, asked me to are about characters from previous movies I couldn't even remember, chock full of exposition, took itself way too seriously. I can't really think of any way it was good; it certainly wasn't entertaining. I still like Craig, but the only good Craig Bond is still Casino Royale.

    We've seen half of Love so far and like it a lot. I do find Gus annoying, but in a human way.
  7. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    Man. I solved everything I could find and reached the endgame. But I'm only at 438 and I have a bunch of questions left. I don't know how much energy I have left, but I still feel like I wouldn't want the game spoiled. Such a rare feeling. I still haven't even seen the credits. EDIT: Okay, I've seen the credits. That was sweet. Also a bit dumb towards the end. I also found more game, so I'm not done yet. These were the first hints I looked up. This is my game of the decade.

    Eleven lasers is the maximum before heading inside the mountain, right?
  9. Firewatch Spoiler Thread | Henry Two Hats

    We had very different experiences. My memories are mostly about the place and the mood.
  10. Firewatch Spoiler Thread | Henry Two Hats

    I don't know, I feel like the plot is a commentary on playing video games so making a movie out of it doesn't scan for me at all. The game taped all those notes I collected on the window, making something I've done a million times look crazy. It's not all about video games, but being a game is tied to what Firewatch is a million different ways. You couldn't have this thing, but a movie instead of a game. You're right that I'm not engaging with your explanation, osmosich. It's because I don't get it. I don't have a feel for what the problem is.
  11. Cities: Skylines

    Those are pretty strong puns for a Finnish company writing in English.
  12. Firewatch Spoiler Thread | Henry Two Hats

    None of the experience of playing this would translate to a movie. I think that's just bonkers. It's like a critique based on a description of the game instead of the actual thing. I don't understand it at all.

    Whaat he's amazing in that show.
  14. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    The stars and tetrominos are annoying me. In both cases I just ran out of puzzles and the rest are hidden some way.
  15. Firewatch Spoiler Thread | Henry Two Hats

    Cheers! I have a week's vacation coming up. I have a hunch 5 hours of that will go into replaying Firewatch.

    https://firewatch.camera/HalfCottonwoodMeadow/ I was actually pretty upset that the camera's aspect ratio wasn't the same as the actual photos' aspect ratio. I composed them based on what I saw!
  17. Finished it. Reeeaaally happy with it. Great experience.
  18. Firaxis' XCOM Enemy Unknown

    It's because of three moves ahead, but I'd much rather welcome their readers here.
  19. The beginning damn near had me tear up. I hope I'll geg time to play this properly soon.
  20. My internet provider decided to do some work yesterday and knocked out my internet so I can't play.
  21. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    Yup, I went back to the simpler ones and I think I have it now. I'm at five lasers.
  22. The Witness by Jonathan Blow

    Oh, god, trying to quote shows me spoilers. Just managed to avoid them. Anyway, I wouldn't say I brute forced them. It was still quick to find when they work and the puzzle was usually in figuring out the rest. Only two of them got me stuck for a while. But I'm still not sure about the mechanism. Going back in tonight.

    Yup, I bought it when I got the email!
