That comment really plumbs the depths.

When you say "Southern old-wealth", are we talking about a former slaveowning family?

Buckaroo mini-game when?

I think they prefer to be called Canadians.

The first time I met him, he got stuck on the dungeon geometry, and I just wailed at him until he died.

Beautifully ironic, as that was my preferred strat in D1 :)

Got to see the character creation screen twice.

Crashed with a corrupted data message telling me to use scan and repair.

Try scan and repair multiple times, get a "Whoops! Looks like something broke. Give it another shot." Message each time.

Guess I'm uninstalling, leaving it to reinstall overnight and trying again in the morning.

The characters on Diablo Immortal?

They're all on mobiles.

Surely the true KFC cosmetic is the physique of the Druid?

The record (if you can call it that) for playing Diablo continuously before dying is 40 hours.

Please don't try and best that anyone. Take breaks, stand up, stretch, walk around, eat, drink and sleep.

Blethigg

Forgotten, as usual :)

By a very fortuitous coincidence, I've just resigned my current job to start a new one. I was going to make Friday 2nd my last day, but as there's a train strike in the UK on that day I've made Thursday my last day. Which means I'm technically unemployed for 72 hours, which I intend to spend as a useless layabout playing games all weekend 🙂

Replaying Arkham Asylum for the first time in years. The atmosphere is still incredible, but it's surprising how clunky the gameplay is compared to the later games. Rose-tinted glasses are a hell of a thing.

Blethigg

Giving it the big thumbs up?

It's probably worth opening them when you get them. You can extract the effects of any legendaries you get to reuse later. So low-level legendaries are more use than they were in earlier games.

Can you map movement to the thumbstick, but still use the mouse for attack/aiming? The idea sounds nice to me, turning it into a twin stick shooter almost, but I somehow doubt it will work that way.

Blethigg

He's thrown a kettle over a pub. What have you done?

I was going to get the KFC promotion. But when I called and told them I was a member of the ATC, they apologised and said that they were all out of roast pheasant with a red wine jus. Of course, as a member of the ATC I couldn't settle for anything less, so i passed.

I'm old enough to remember the original Master of Magic having a yellow sticker on the box: "Warning: This game requires 18mb of hard drive space".

That was so extreme for the time that they felt the need for a disclaimer.

Blethigg

That game had some great ideas. Shame about the execution.

Less Prince Charming, more Prince Andrew.

"Crazy White Man". Considering their historical experiences with white people, that's quite a distinction.

HR directors are always enablers for the boss. If they're not, they don't make it to director.

My headcanon is that individual timelords have broad parameters that influence the form they take after regeneration. Some may be usually or always a specific gender or skin colour, others may have broader parameters and switch genders and/or ethnicities as they go.

The Doctors parameters were originally "male and pale", but when he was given a new set of regenerations the parameters were reset. The first of he new incarnations was a white man, but that was a coincidence, from now on s/he can be anything.

I know this doesn't fit with the Timeless Child gubbins, but I came up with it before that, and I still like it.

Blethigg

For me the issue is that it doesn't look like a spaceship, or like the Doctors home. It looks like a stage set.
