A post-mortem of Telltale Games "Our executive team insisted that what was popular about Guardians of the Galaxy, was darkness and violence, and sadness," said Buck. "And that people did not associate humour with that brand... So we redid the first two episodes to be less funny and more dark and more violent and more sad, and that's the game that shipped. And one of the biggest comments in editorial, was that it felt very off-tone for Guardians of the Galaxy and wasn't very funny. And we were like 'we know'."

Eurogamer - "Essential" It is a joy to poke around as the game slowly opens up new spaces. It is a pleasure - and a very harmonious pleasure - to come to an understanding of how different parts of the ship slot together, where people sleep, where they work, where they gather for a game of cards. That powdery white line that draws this bleak world is surprisingly adept at giving a sense of the material reality of the ship - razor sharp on the rarely-used stairs you use to climb aboard, breaking into radar-like speckles when ghosting an outline of waves into life. As your clues mount up and the images in the book become less and less fuzzy, so the world comes into focus. You are not just exploring a place, you are slowly getting a sense for it. What an astonishing game. What an incredible piece of work. The grisly mystery of Return of the Obra Dinn will make you obsessed (The Verge) The tale of the Obra Dinn and its crew is fascinating either way, and it won’t take long before the game’s Macintosh-inspired low-fi visuals burn their way into your brain. The task ahead of you is enormous, but, eventually, you’ll realize it’s not actually impossible after all. Return of the Obra Dinn: The Kotaku Review Obra Dinn is not easy. Its puzzles are never mean or particularly tricky, but it gives you a lot of information to sift through and doesn’t hold your hand. The book is a valuable resource, since it keeps track of the people you’ve seen and tells you what memories they can be found in. There was only one time when I had to take an IRL note on a piece of paper because I had key information that the book didn’t track for me. But even with the book as your companion, you will have to think hard to solve the puzzles. I’m such a puzzle nerd that the idea of solving Obra Dinn, with its clues hidden everywhere and a story joining it all together, was something I’d been looking forward to for a long time. The experience was as captivating and memorable as I’d hoped. I was glued to it until I was done. My only wish is that I could erase my brain and play it again. Return of the Obra Dinn review: A phenomenal detective story invoking old Macintosh adventures (PC World) A unique art style and a fantastic puzzle hook make Return of the Obra Dinn a detective story worth experiencing, especially if you can do it all in one go.

It's probably a mix for me based on my playing preference at the time. I'd say that I probably prefer games that execute a "light tone" more than those that execute a "dark tone" simply because I think it's more difficult to get "light" done right than it is to get "dark" done right.

Broncos - $4,000 1. Broncos FG 2. Demaryius Thomas 3. AFC West -- have you SEEN the AFC East?!? 4. 50-99 5. Vikings, Ravens, Falcons 6. Bills, Giants 7. Four 8. Robert Woods (Receiving), Saquon Barkley (Rushing)

So that's what the Valve interns have been working on!

And yet there is no information as to what caused the argument.

The Saudis are literally going to "blame the black guy" for this. Might I suggest to Major-General Ahmed al-Assiri that I hear Tehran is quite lovely this time of year.

America has lost the war in Afghanistan. Washington may not want to admit it, and the U.S. military insists the conflict is a “stalemate.” But make no mistake: The original 9/11 war has been lost. If there was any doubt about that, earlier today a Taliban infiltrator dressed in an Afghan army uniform killed a significant Afghan police chief/powerbroker in the presence of the top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, Lt. Gen. Austin S. Miller. In other words, the Taliban think so very little of the American presence in Afghanistan that the top US military commander in the country wasn't even the primary target of the attack.

She hung on far too long and there is no heir apparent successor in the CDU. This is yet another symptom of the terminal decline of the so-called "West".

I like to vote in person so I can get into shouting/shoving matches with the opposing candidate's supporters.

If you let me have that exception for sex workers, I'll let you have that exception for hicks/rednecks/etc. Deal?

Turkish newspaper claims that one of the suspected hit team members died in a "suspicious" auto accident in Riyadh.

I make an exception to that for sex workers.

Just a reminder that Farrakhan has "lightly" praised the Imbecile-in-Chief in the past.

Unfortunate but hardly surprising.

And this is why libertarianism is LOLworthy

Libertarian socialism (anarcho-socialism) is essentially the type of society that Marx conceived in his writings as contrasted with the authoritarian socialism that characterized the Leninist-Stalinist Soviet Union, Maoist China, etc.

Libertarian?!?!? OLOLOLOLOL At the rate I'm moving to the Left, I'll be Trotskyist by next Tuesday.

Maybe I am a "terrible misogynist"? . Do you have evidence to the contrary?

My favorite Ken Burns series is Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson. It's a short series (2 episodes) but that doesn't detract from Jack's story as a black man who was utterly unafraid to look white America's racism in the eye and laugh at it. And also punch it...because he was a heavyweight boxer after all!

Paging @Bjomesphat and @Mark

That statement wasn't directed at Khashoggi - it was directed at the Saudi consul.

Jamal Khashoggi: Trump denies giving cover to Saudis as audio handed to US The dissident journalist was beaten and had his fingers cut off, according to the news account. Otaiba asked for the torture to be done outside his office, saying: “You will put me in trouble.” “If you want to live when you come back to Arabia, shut up,” the consul was told by a Saudi hit team who had flown to Istanbul hours before Khashoggi’s planned visit to the consulate, where he had expected to pick up legal papers he needed to get married.
