I've beaten ME3 twice and I've never played with Javik because he is DLC. I feel like I missed out but I wasn't gonna pay extra.

It sucks to pay for but he provides some pretty cool background on the Protheans and is a pretty effective sidekick. He's also a lot of fun if you bought the Citadel DLC, which you should, because spending time with your party on shore-leave is awesome.

Yeah, Patrick Weekes said in a forum post that he was one more piece of content that Bioware had to gut out for time, and used the release period to finish coding him in.

If you piss off the leader of Polystralia in Civilization: Beyond Earth and then try to talk to him, he'll call you a yobbo. I could go on about how that's a really neat touch from a speculative fiction perspective, that it makes complete sense that a word's remained an insult by the same people, but the actual meaning and accepted context of it has shifted completely... but really I just love that he calls me a yobbo.

I suppose this is technically a bad thing, but in Darkest Dungeon my main frontline fighter is an alcoholic, God fearing wreck who trembles and keeps begging me not to send him back into the dungeon. He's my only guy that can soak up the hits though and I feel awful relying on him so much.

I have no idea why I'm remembering this, but I remember the Call of Duty games from 4 til.. at least Black Ops, would have no problems spawning you in the middle of an explosion or the route of a bullet so you could die instantly. I have no idea who let that slip, since I never have had that happen in other FPS's.

I can't find the video but I remember long ago for Modern Warfare 3 (iirc) they brought back the airplane terminal map from MW2 and there was a way where if your entire team got on top of an airplane and they all had LMGs with the perk that increased bullet penetration you could literally just spray a certain corner where the enemy team would always spawn and constantly kill them for minutes straight until you ran completely out of ammo. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that activision never patched it before they dropped it completely for the next yearly release.

In Modern Warfare 2 I recall firing a javelin missile, immediately getting killed, then the game spawning me directly under my own missile as it landed. Call of duty is a terrible, terrible series.

Then you blew up instantly, alongside everything and everyone in a 50-ft radius.

They did that in MW3, one of the deathstreaks was Dead Man's Hand. Kinda like last stand, but instead of falling down with your gun out, you fall down with a superpowered C4 pack on your chest and the clicker in your hand. It went off instantly if you were shot. The explosion was comparable to a Hellfire missile from a Predator drone. And by the name of the Lord did the tryhards hate that.

He disliked LS because it meant someone else could get his kill and martyrdom was unfair bullshit. He neglected to tell me he played on servers that banned martyrdom so I got him kicked from a few places because I liked that perk.

In XCOM: Enemy Unknown, you can perform autopsies on killed aliens, or interrogate ones captured alive. Since killing it much easier, 99% of the time you get the autopsy first. If you capture a specimen without having killed any of them, after the interrogation is complete, its corpse turns up available for dissection. You'll never notice this unless you capture a particular alien before killing one, so it would go unnoticed by most people playing. It's cool that they put it in there. XCOM apparently takes a pretty hardcore stance towards 'interrogation'.

This is a great little thing and one I also enjoy, but it's not like the game makes any secret about how you're "interrogating" the aliens. Dr. Vahlen's a wonderful stereotype and makes no bones about exsxtracting ze information via direct... cortical interaction.

Dr. Vahlen's a wonderful stereotype and makes no bones about exsxtracting ze information via direct... cortical interaction. The XCOM wiki on Sectoid interrogation posted:Our interrogation of the small alien captive was a learning experience for all parties involved. Although traditionally an interrogation would imply a discussion of sorts, perhaps under coercion, that possibility was out of the question given these unique circumstances. We were instead forced to undertake a more aggressive approach, namely, through a series of invasive cranial probes inserted into the subject's prefrontal cortex. The other research logs aren't as direct, but this is the way they interrogate all the aliens: slicing their skulls open, sticking needles into their brain, and hitting the "shock" button until something interesting happens. The Geneva Conventions don't apply to aliens, shitlords!

I don't know how little it is, but the third Scarecrow level is great: The screen breaks up and suddenly you find yourself replaying the intro, only this time you're controlling the Joker and Batman is strapped to the gurney. Then you get to control Batman again as the Joker shoots you in the head. You get a game over screen with the usual advice, but this time the advice makes no sense (wiggle the middle stick to avoid being shot in the head). Then the game over screen goes away followed by Batman escaping his grave only to find himself surrounded by other insane Batmen

Far Cry 4 is pretty great. Full of nice little touches. No idea if they were in 2 or 3 as well, haven't played those. Anyway, there's an auto drive feature and it is great. As long as you're on a proper road, you just press a button and it automatically drives you to your waypoint. Very useful as I haven't quite got the hang of the vehicle controls yet. Also you can ride elephants, and all the bad guys freak out about it. With good reason, elephants kick rear end in that game. I was trying to take out an outpost and I guess I acdidentally freed an elephant I hadn't noticed and he did the whole thing for me pretty much. It is missing the Blood Dragon feature of being able to give everything the finger though, as far as I can tell.

Every time the graphical glitches came up I freaked out and dashboarded immediately, because I thought keeping the game running would gently caress my Xbox up something fierce. So it never got to the replaying the intro part. If only google had existed back in the day, probably would've saved you a lot of trouble.
