Dave's status update
Trying to go for a Culture Victory in Civ V is investing too many hours to discover your only a few points away by the time the game ends.

Which Original world you don't want to return?
Oh, I know it will be back, I just don't want it to be.

Why do you play Kingdom Hearts?
The main reason was Disney. The idea of the worlds colliding and characters interacting with one another sounded like a great idea, and being able to go and hang out in the movies that I had grown up with was more than enough to sell me.

Which Final Fantasy film is your favorite?
None, really. Spirits Within is boring, and Advent Children is maddening on multiple levels. Though I've not seen Kingsglaive, from what I've heard and know of it, I doubt it would be up my alley.

Has Youtube Been Ruined By The New Terms Of Service?
It's a poor move on Youtube's part, and the reaction against it has been strong. Channels talking about things from depression to acne have been hit because someone decided that it wasn't "appropriate" for advertising to be associated with something so "negative." So basically, unless your barfing sugar and doling out the most censored product you can, you're out of a job. At this point, I'd like to see Youtube be dealt some kind of legal ramifications, if you consider that they are bent on messing with the livelihoods of far too many people to be ignored.

KH13 Pokemon Tournament Thread
Nah, you beat me fair and square. Not to mention I made a ton of mistakes: I thought Mean Look worked after the Pokemon that used it was dead, and I thought that Crobat was Dark instead of Poison, which wound up getting him wrecked.

Finished my team. Ready when you are, Rob.

KH13 Pokemon Tournament Thread
I personally like the idea of having one team that you take from the bottom to the top rather than having to rehire your mercenaries every round, but that's just me.

What was your favourite Gene Wilder role?
Definitely Blazing Saddles. I love that movie to pieces, and Gene is such a key part of that love. "Well, my name is Jim. But most people call me.... Jim." "Well, Jim, since you are my guest, and I am your host, what do you like to do?" "Oh, I don't know. Play chess... screw..." "Let's play chess."

can anybody explain the problems with no man's sky
The main thing is just that there's not enough content in the game to keep you wanting to play after a few hours, especially considering the price tag it currently has.

Which Original world you don't want to return?
The Keyblade Graveyard. Because dustbowls aren't interesting to look at.

Official Dark Souls 3 DLC Trailer: Ashes of Ariandel
I'm not really sure. The DLC for the first game gave a pretty lengthy environment and area to explore, while the ones for Dark Souls 2 each gave a single dungeon (albeit three of them altogether, and in fairness, each somewhat better designed than the ones in the main game). We're scheduled for two installments for this one, so I don't think either of them are going to be as long individually as Artorias's, but I still hope for good things. From the trailer, it already looks like we're getting a bunch of NPCs, which means that there's going to be some world building and lore drops going on.

Can we stop pretending Genji is a skill class?
If they think spamming double jump and a deflect move that works entirely on its own with no input from the player takes skill, they're horribly mistaken.

Team Fortress 2 - General Discussion
My main beef with the update is that it now takes forever to get put into a match. By only letting people join at the start of the game, it means that you can be waiting a long time to get into a longer game type like Capture the Flag. Altogether I haven't been a big fan if only because they've made it harder to actually play the game.

There's got to be some connection to the Painted World of Ariamis here, surely.

Umm...What Is This?
I was overstating for sure, mostly because in the last year we've gotten the Frank Milleresque "Batman v Superman," the creepypasta Joker in "Suicide Squad," and a rather disappointing outing in "The Killing Joke" (which, ironically, is one of the best moments for Batman as a character, where we fully understand that he doesn't just kill the Joker because he actually just doesn't want to). I just want something that gets off of the dark n' gritty train for a bit.

Umm...What Is This?
What this is is the best Batman. The one that didn't pander to edgelords and try hards. The one that focused more on fun and less on brooding. The one that, frankly, was far more truthful to the comics than most people ever want to admit. For people who are disappointed, I'm sure you can go to Hot Topic and drown your sorrows in all that deep and cutting edge Heath Ledger merch.
