Was announced today that Big Bad Wolf Studio (the studio that made 'The Council' ) is doing a Vampire: The Masquerade game. I'm not exaggerating when I say that ever since I played episode 1 of The Council, this is EXACTLY what I wanted to see come out of this studio. The style and game elements of that game all felt like they were MADE for a World of Darkness game and I am beyond excited. https://www.rpgsite.net/news/8483-an-additional-vampire-the-masquerade-rpg-is-in-development-more-information-to-come-at-this-year-s-gamescom

Because people nessecarily haven't seen the episode that just aired and aren't responsible enough to not click on the topic when they know that I guess? XD I'll post more later but I have two things to say before then: "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Also:

I never played the other ones so don't know how it compares, but this looks like a nicer, more story driven version of that Marvel Heroes Omega game.

Clearly Steve Rogers doesn't suffer from depression? I don't really know what you're looking for here. The established him pretty early on as the kind of person who could have the whole world against him and he will never give up and never stop fighting. He'll always get back up and keep going no matter how bleak shit is and will help everyone he can along the way. Even his contentions with Tony stem from that drive. He was not willing to compromise his beliefs for anything, and would rather die fighting for all that he is than sacrifice even one part of it. Some people just don't break. At least not outwardly or in any quantifiable way that matters for this discussion. I don't know where the insistence on comparing Thor with him is coming from either. A better comparison for Thor would probably be Stark overall. Both in terms of their early lives, parts of their personalities and the kinds of shit they've had to deal with.

Fucking. Casual.

You misspelled the word "years". >_>

The full game has been done for over 20 years you fucking casual.

They never said it wouldn't still be like that so I don't know why so many people in general seem shocked at this. I'm cool with getting Disk 1 now instead of the whole thing 15 years from now. It's not like we don't know what happens. If they think they're going to charge full price for each one though that will be... not good. This would be the company to try it though. Obligatory:

Somewhere in the multiverse...

More Randy Pitchford shit. How this guy is still in charge of Gearbox is honestly mind blowing. >_>

The message that was attached on their Facebook post implies we should be getting a release date at least and seems like they're on the final stretch so it should hopefully be this year.

I wonder if they're actually going to do the thing with the Paul Bunyan statue from the books since they showed it for a second. XD

Today's reveal was Tremere. Their disciplines will be Thaumaturgy (Blood Magic) and Auspex (6th Sense/projection). Looks like they are going 2 per instead of 3 so no Dominate for them I guess. Unless this is rolled into normal social interaction as well like was insinuated with the 3rd Brujah one. Tremere have also had their clan weakness reworked a bit for this and they will be a sort of 'hard mode' for the game as they will take more damage from vampires than other clans (kind of comes from the innate hatred for the Tremere from most other clans due to their origins). Videos:

And the lobbyists are already circling the waters. Not completely sure how I feel on this. The pay to win shit, definitely, but there's a lot of other shit that they can sneak into a bill like this that will be going to far.

You say that, but all I hear is "You should install Origin." and I'm gonna have to stop you right there.

That was a decent stretch. July 2018 to March 2019. This will be a couple months longer so not that much worse than we had there.

I just posted that one a couple days ago. XD It is pretty good though. I like the tone they went with.

Indeed. I couldn't care less about it, but let the players decide if it's "not a good value" for ourselves. XD Though it might be nice if there's an EA game I take an interest in and want to try it but don't actually want to buy.

Looks like EA Access is finally coming to PS4.

This is honestly the thing that bugs me most about the recent seasons. It seems like it started happening more and more after what felt like Danerys basically teleporting to Westeros.

Could be worse. Probably isn't the worst idea to have a bit of a longer break after this phase anyway with how big of a deal it's been.

He was definitely still hung up on the hammer too. Not the hammer in the physical sense, but it was clear after everything he's lost since he lost the hammer, that internally he felt himself less and less "worthy". Calling the hammer and having it come to him after everything he had been through and how he felt about it was a pretty big deal for him I think. Between that and the talk with his mother I think that's the first REAL healing we've seen for his character in a long time. Thor writing has always been a little clumsy, so I get where people are coming from, but none of it honestly bothered me. His arc in Endgame is probably one of the ones I enjoyed the most. They all were dealing with what happened in different ways. His was just the most physically noticeable. Steve and Natasha both poured themselves into some kind of work to avoid dealing with it as much as possible, Clint going off the deep end Ultimate Hawkeye style, etc.

I personally liked the comment he made to the cops. XD Spoilers are going to get worse now. Directors effectively "lifted" the spoiler ban they asked people to adhere to as of today so news articles full of spoilers are churning out at and even faster rate than before. Seen a few with spoilers in the titles even which is kind of a dick move.
