Has anyone here played Lego Dimensions, and if so, what is it like?

Just like all the other Lego games, with some episodes (Portal 2, Dr. Who, Ghostbusters, etc) being among the best they've done.

Is Thermidor like, a blutooth enabled humidor?

No, it's a JRPG based on the manga series called "The Sandman". I wonder if they will be doing "Ramadan", "Three Septembers and a January" or "August" arcs next, those were all very good.

I wouldn't call it a manga, Neil Gaiman is English and the series was drawn for DC by western artists.

The original source of the word "thermidor" is the new enlightened calendar that France was briefly forced to use during the Revolution.

It's okay. It's really short and there's not much to it. It's not terrible but I wouldn't pay more than $5 for it.

The PS4 version is also an easy plat.

Now if you want an awesome modern FMV game, check out Stay Dead. That poo poo rules.

I watched the beginning and there is a scene where a guy is eating a can of beans while sitting on a toilet.

Yeah, in retrospect I was kind of worried this might happen. Most of Life is Strange's cast consisted of people who were getting into voice acting for the first time, Burch was one of the few exceptions (Daniel Bounjour(Frank) had a role in The Walking Dead and Hannah Telle (Max) is a singer but I'm not sure about the rest). Still sucks though.

It's in the lull between registration opening and The Run starting, and the front page is probably getting flooded with E3 stuff.

This is super disappointing :( Admittedly I couldn't tell a huge difference in the trailer when she spoke but I'm sure the full game it'll be pretty noticeable. She's got a distinct enough voice. If the game is good in general I'll still play it but yeah my interest dropped a lot when I saw this.

I'm guessing that Activision doesn't include Blizzard since I know all the Overwatch VAs have been gainfully employed.

Yes, the rest of the strike notification mentions specific companies that have made side agreements with the union and Blizzard is one of them

For those of you who don't follow Overwatch, the voice cast are all huge loving nerds and put out videos of themselves hanging out + doing dumb in-character stuff all the time. It's seriously cringe, yet also kind of awesome at the same time.

Here's a list of the games affected by the strike, from their website. It's not day-to-day up to date but it does give the general idea.

edit: And here's a list of games from the struck publishers that they are not striking against. Because I dunno why not only go halfsies I guess.

It's a shame that Injustice 2 is up there, they have a bunch of new fighters about to be released and they won't be able to have character-specific callouts or updated voice lines.

agreed, kinda feels like we're at a lull when not a lot is happening and we're going to be seeing sequels, sequels, sequels for a minute before something shakes up industry standards a bit

In one way cool because I already have access to a ton of crazy good games that I haven't even touched and between PC, PS4, and 3DS, there is just too much great content to wade through

Everything felt extremely predictable and uninteresting? I'll still play a lot of these games that will come out, and my interest in a switch continues to (very) slowly increase but I'm not really excited about anything gaming, not anymore than I was before watching the E3 stuff...also where was from soft?!

I am so pumped for MP4 guys even though it was just a title-only teaser and the Prime series is kind of self-contained already. Any idea who's developing it?
