I’m playing Warhammer 40000: Mechanicus. The Necron screen wipe when you transition from exploring to combat never stops being cool. Neither does the mechanical buzzing combined with intelligible speech your tech priest have instead of voices. You can especially feel the head Magos/player stand-in’s. And then it’s cool when you encounter a Necron boss character, and it speaks to you in voice-acted English instead of code language.

Zoats were a race of chubby lizard centaurs from early Warhammer 40K who acted as diplomats for the Tyranids before GW decided they were dumb and had them unceremoniously eaten. They also appeared as a race of solitary and mysterious, to the point of being near mythical, magical beings for one edition of the early fantasy game. Well, now they’re being added to the Wood Elf roster for a newly announced Total War: Warhammer 2 DLC. Almost every Warhammer video game release pulls out some weird unit like that, and it’s always a good time. Edit: Last year, a voice actor did a fan project in which he recorded voice lines for Throt the Unclean as if he were to be included in Total Warhammer. So when CA was working on this new DLC that features this character, they reached out to him to voice it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-A-WSiSt98 Dr Christmas has a new favorite as of 00:51 on Nov 20, 2020 |

But no, it’s yet another creep in the entertainment industry, because of course it is

There won’t be anything as coldblooded as the Paz spirit in Smash Bros: Ultimate giving your character a Bob-omb, but this shot from the new Sephiroth trailer comes close: https://mobile.twitter.com/TristanACooper/status/1337187387101876224

Sephiroth’s arcade mode in Smash Bros is a boss rush. Something is funny to me about how they introduce a third party character by having him clown one of the final bosses of Smash’s story mode (Which is itself introduced obliterating the entire Smash roster) in the trailer, and then have him beat up other games’ final bosses.

Guys, they’re putting Kislev, each of the four Chaos gods, and motherfucking Cathay, which had never had a single official miniature, in the upcoming Total War: Warhammer 3.

Super Mario 3D World opens with Mario and crew happening on a mysterious broken pipe and fixing it, and I was unreasonably amused that the Mario Brothers were portrayed doing plumbing.

Total Warhammer 2 just released some FreeLC adding a cruel Dark Elf Beastmaster character to the game, and he’s voiced by Iwan Rheon, who played super-sadist Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Aren't the Imperium notoriously anti-Xeno? Or are the Tyranids an enemy-of-my-enemy exception? Yeah, Tyranids often are one of those big deals. There’s even an instance where Space Marines teamed up with Necrons to fight them. Human/alien teamups, even in apocalyptic situations, are still incredibly rare. You have to either be really secretive or have a lot of authority to do it, and at the end of the day you’re still a human supremacist. Warhammer 40K recently underwent a bunch of galaxy-shaking plot developments, and the Imperium and Eldar briefly teamed up during them. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 takes place after them. The game is pretty nuts because in each of the campaigns you either kill Abaddon and cripple the Chaos legions, take out a Primarch and destroy other major lore things leaving the Imperium completely hosed, or both. GW in the past seemed to be a lot less willing to let game companies use their big name characters. Back when Dawn of War 2 came out, it caused a minor stir among fans when Abaddon briefly showed up to give orders and threats the campaign’s main Chaos guy.

A new trailer for Total War: Warhammer 3 came out, giving us the first look at the Nurgle and Slaanesh armies. One of the units is apparently a group of Nurglings, lovely little plague gremlins, combining into a Voltron

I feel like everything involving the past/near future in HZD just knocks it out of the park. It just blows all the characters we actually hang out with out of the water. Neither I nor anyone really close to me has had real trouble with drugs or the law like the guy who wrote the vantage point logs, but drat, the ending to that got me.

Stacking resistances was more useful than the nanoweave armor on HZD's ultra difficulty, I think. I usually went with a combo of melee and ranged. I think some ranged attacks are purely elemental, but I'm not sure. I'm even more unsure whether you want melee resistance, fire resistance, or both when taking a flaming claw attack. I wanted to get my Ultra playthrough done relatively fast for the cheevo and didn't do the DLC again.

Total War: Warhammer 3 will have a new faction based on Khorne, god of rage and bloodshed. You get bonuses for keeping a rampage going and wither away if you go too long without kicking someone's rear end. Luckily, you can push a button to summon demons to attack you, so you can beat them to show you're not being idle. It's so extra, I love it. There's a new character, a dragon in human form who's one of the leaders of the new faction based on China, who does Liu Kang's bicycle kick in combat. Also there's these guys: https://twitter.com/totalwar/status/1466784299516973060 Look at 'em go

I think the Disco Elysium decision that's probably an unflattering reflection on my real self involves the whole thing with the church on the coast. I assumed I could either let the researcher or the EDM crew do their thing with it, not that they could coexist there, and so had the EDM crew hauled off. Maybe there's a point how just thinking like a cop there closed off options for me. The moment I missed because of it is definitely a candidate for this thread.

I’m playing God of War 2018, and I got to a part where you and the boy come across a horn that’s part of some incredibly big mechanism you just revealed, and Kratos refuses to let Atreus blow it. I had a sensible chuckle when Atreus protests that you’ve been thoughtlessly flipped every switch and interacted with every doohickey you’ve encountered this far, so why not this?

One of the campaign objectives for the Sisters of Twilight in Total Warhammer 2's Eye of the Vortex campaign is to wipe out the Clan Moulder Skaven faction they're paired off against. I managed to accomplish that when they did a confederation with the Skaven Clan Rictus and got absorbed into them.

Total Warhammer 3 has the Chaos Dwarfs speak evil fantasy language, which was a little disappointing for me, but they respond to movement commands with phrases that include “waddle” “leswaddle” and “waddleovadere,” which makes up for it. One character has a mechanical mobility rig and one of his diplomacy screen quotes mentions it. There’s a recorded voice line in evil fantasy language along with a text quote in English, and it contains “waddle” in there.
