The wires didn't slice the motorcycle, it just happened to fall apart at that exact moment.

I'll buy that Sabretooth loosened all the fasteners on Logan's bike ahead of time because when you're gonna do a prank you don't half-rear end it.

The alternative is the motorcycle got destroyed but wolverine didn't because he has an adamantium skeleton stronger than any other metal on earth. He's hanging in the air because the ropes stopped at his skeleton, and they didn't depict the gruesome wounds he would have received.

One day Wolverine's gonna get sick of him and just ruin the fun by yelling "gently caress OFF VICTOR!" "but... my names sabretooth..." "IT'S VICTOR. We both know it, you're named like a bloody butler." Just go full on Ultimate Spiderman teasing Shocker. "I never knew your name was Herman  "

Okay, I know how to draw out my A's, but how do you draw out an H like that? Every time I try, I just end up drawing out the A.

Hold the H like you are snarling or growling - just hold the throat in the shape it forms when you say an H sound and expel air. Like you are doing a vampire impression. That kind of snarl. Also, something I appreciate in Wolverine's Revenge is that there are some interesting little set-dressing things that you can see that are totally optional which I like. An example is in act 2 level 1 where there is a big broken bridge across from the place where you power-up the base so you can get inside it, and if you hop partially across the bridge you see a guy struggling with a van's cargo, and as you approach he falls, gripping the edge of the road. There is a timer so I think you can save him but I have no idea what saving him gets you and I hosed it up anyway because the prompt wouldn't show up to interact with him. THere is also a little computer in level 2-2 that when you turn it on it shows you a security footage of a monster in the mines. Just a little foreshadowing. That's a nice bit of unexpected polish, it shows they really tried with making the game rather than just slamming it out. (I'm onto Act 2-3 now) BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 21:04 on Jun 28, 2021 |

Honestly I think that, unless you have a real strong sense of humor about yourself and a dedication to making the universe laugh: If you are caught like an egg in an egg-slicer and your incredibly smug nemesis is about to jetpack away, that is just about the worst time to call attention to his name, when his name means "The guy who wins"

No extra slack on the wires! They were tough enough to slice through a motorcycle and dangle a heavy-metal-skeleton plus regular other body bits, but didn't slice into the trees when doing so? Did Sabertooth acquire some kind of myserious, force-nullifying me- Ok, solved it. The wires are vibranium.

On the other hand, Scarlet Witch actually gets more powerful in the DC universe because her chaos magic actually is perfectly compatible with DC chaos magic, to the point where the Lords of Chaos apparently get worried.

It's honestly not a little thing at all, it's actually quite a big thing, but I'd like to post about The Outer Worlds, which I have been playing lately. I knew going into it that it takes place in a sort of corporate dystopia. Based on everything I had heard about it going into it, I had assumed that it would be a very cynical sort of game in the style of Borderlands. It's not. With almost every character you meet, what you find is another example of a person trying to express their humanity in an environment where that is a very hard thing for a person to do. My favorite example of this is Reed Tobson. The first major quest of the game is about getting a vital part for your ship. There are only two on the planet it's on, and they're each being used to power a community. One is powering Edgewater, a miserable town owned by Spacer's Choice (basically space Walmart,) and the other is powering the Botanical Garden, a community of people who left Edgewater to escape the disease and exploitation. Reed Thompson, the guy running Edgewater, is a total flunky for Spacer's Choice and the decisions he is making for the town on their behalf are driving it and its people into the ground. When I first met him I thought, ah, here's a real scumbag. This is going to be the first guy I meet who cares more about profits than people. However, what you come to find out near the end of the quest is that Spacer's Choice isn't what Reed cares about the most. He likes Spacer's Choice because he credits them and their direction with Edgewater's prosperity, such as it is. The reason he wants you to shut down the Botanical Garden is because he cares about the citizens of both communities and he thinks they'll have the best chance at survival if the two unite. If you end up cutting off the power to the Botanical Garden, the leader insists that she will not return to Edgewater as long as Reed is there. When you inform Reed of this, he just asks for a few hours to pack his things. Him leaving his assigned post will piss off Spacer's Choice and almost certainly get him killed, but he's happy to do it if you can convince him it's what is best for the people of Edgewater. He was never leading them to ruin because he doesn't care about them, he was leading them to ruin because Spacer's Choice had convinced him that his terrible leadership was what was best for them. He's a bullheaded moron, and his stupidity was getting people killed, but he still cares. Going into The Outer Worlds, what I expected was a game world in which everyone buys into the craven corporate "gently caress you, got mine" mentality. What I found instead was a game world in which a cruel establishment is trying very hard to instill that mentality into every last person, yet almost everyone you meet is trying to work within or against that system for something other than their own self-interest. There's plenty of dark corporate hellworld humor to go around of course, but overall it's a game with a shockingly optimistic perspective on humanity.

My favorite little thing in Outer Worlds is that instead of being able to romance your crew they threw in a side quest where you help one of your crew mates romance somebody else. Actually, I specifically like that for no particular reason except for representation they made that crewmate an asexual lesbian, and put in the effort to explore the effect that one member of a romance being asexual when the other isn't would have on that relationship.

Baba Yaga Fanboy posted:One of my faves was Martin Callahan, the Spacer's Choice guy wearing their dumb mascot mask. Yeah, that's a good little side story. Near him there's a public terminal where he's accidentally left his account logged in so you can read some of his emails, which illuminates his character a bit beyond what you can get him to admit to in the dialogue shown in this video. Basically his job is soul crushing and it's absolutely killing him on the inside, but in the Halcyon system where the game takes place, his job is one of the safest and most stable that there is. The people down on the planets are either doing backbreaking work within the walls of a corporate city or fighting for their lives in the wilderness. Martin has a steady paycheck and his life is never in danger, so he feels that he should be grateful and happy for his position, so on top of the negative feelings inspired by his terrible job he also feels guilty for feeling that way.

I've been playing Sam & Max Save The World Remastered, and I like how Max is always wandering around and poking at stuff and casually making armpit noises while Sam is trying to figure out The Problem of The Day. First, because I have played many games where your sidekick is glued to your sides at all times and it's nice to see Max noodle off to his own devices, and second because it's interesting to see what my raging ADHD probably looks like from the outside. Oh and also whenever Sam and Max are about to collide, Sam casually flings Max offscreen. And I appreciate that because I also have played many games where I get temporarily stuck because an NPC just decides to trap me behind a table or stand in front of the treasure or w/e. And he doesn't even break stride, it's just a casual part of his day to slap Max fifty feet into the air and Max is clearly having the time of his fuzzy little life.
