    That particular quest can still be done 

    by talking to Yennefer instead.

    I suppose I did have one quest fail for me, but it was one where I didn't really want to work with that character, so once the story progressed I guess something had happened to said character.

    It will explicitly tell you when you get to a point where some side-quests will be abandoned, which only happens once and you're still a ways off from that point. Once you get to Skellige you can still fast travel between Velen/Novigrad and the islands, so it ain't no thang.

    I had completely forgot about Obduction! Has there been any news about a release date?

     

    I think they're aiming for a Q4 release, but I'm not sure. The last update on the project was back in may, where they announced they had finished some previously mentioned filming. Excitingly enough, they're doing FMV actors in classic Myst fashion and even filmed it in such a way that it works for VR and everything!

    I got a bit of an Arma vibe from it. If it's a more arcadey style tactical experience, I'm so on board with that! We'll have to see though, as Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was pretty terrible.

    It's true. There is definitely a period of acclimation; getting your VR legs it's called. There are certain things I could only do maybe 20-30 minutes before my eyes and brain just started feeling funny, but after a few times that stopped happening. I can play Elite Dangerous doing pretty crazy stuff and it's fine.

     

    I could not read the editorial, I can't stand the guy's writing.

    Quit playing games with my heart. My heart. My heart. I should've known from the start.

     

    Yes, Valve, please release us of this decade long case of gamer blue balls.

    All in all, that was a pretty enjoyable conference from Bethesda; generally a good pace! And Bethesda really taking a page out of Blizzard's strategy book, huh...

    Doom looks like the kind of brainless violence I can get behind! I really enjoy some twitch action shooting!

    So Fallout 4. The things they showed look cool, but I got a thing with this brand of Bethesda game, which I think kind of reached a tipping point now that the rendering and lighting looks so nice, and they seem to be going for some stronger characterization. The animations still look like hot garbage and between that and the dead eyed npc's it is incredibly distracting to me. You could tell they did their very best not to show your characters 3rd person camera in combat, because it's going to look like the same janky Bethesda stick up your ass shit. Why is the whole animation side of things still on the same level as it was in Oblivion??

    That said, man, I'm totally ready to dive back into that world. (Once the Fallout 4 GOTY complete edition edition comes out)

    I'm finding myself talking a lot about Prince of Persia 2008, for some reason... I disliked the prince, because it was at a time that I had reached peak Nolan North. The guy was in eeeverything, always playing about the same guy, except the writing varying in quality by a lot. I haven't played it since then, but I just remember being annoyed at the bickering; it was all rather one-note.

     

    Also has one of those infuriating cliffhangers that Ubisoft likes so much. There were a lot of good things in that game (e.g. the way that game handled "death" was a little ahead of its time, I think), but deserved most of the scorn it got, in my opinion. A lot of the gameplay was a step removed from it being a giant QTE obstacle course.

    I didn't mind Sense8 being slow. That's a thing I rather enjoyed about it. It takes its time, but I think it pays off by the end of the season. I also think it can afford to take its time, as all episodes are out. I don't think the format of this show would've worked if it had been an episode a week thing. Netflix's form defining the structure of shows, I guess.

     

    I really liked all characters, even if some are still a little thin. It did a great job of building tension that had me on the edge of my seat!

     

    All in all, I really liked it!
