I'm frightened, frankly, at what the environment must be like at Bethesda Softworks - A ZeniMax Company. I wouldn't want to be there. Asha gave Obsidian one of their best toys, and Starfield was essentially a sidequest. I'm a bad Elder Scrolls player, a fake fan; I wash out on stuff like their faces and animations. I always feel like I find something within the first few hours that nobody seems to have cared about at all. A beaky, triangular lip. A line I hear one too many times. For the vast majority of people, those just become memes. For me, it just makes me feel like they double-spaced their homework - a reference almost nobody would get anymore. If you were a million years old also, I promise you this metaphor would hit.
People have said that the new Acquisitions Incorporated game at PAX Aus - running on the young and vital Daggerheart system - was a top five game. I was there, and I know that it felt good, but of course you have the final say:
I think you'll love the addition of my friend John. It marks the return of Austin Creed to the table, with his massive turtle-man bouncer Julius Smalls - a second player has fallen prey to the bestial options available to players in the new game. The first was Gorbiriel, whose "frog jim" was canonized in the strip here, although I suppose he already did a turn as a mouse. This is all just the launch phase to a mercenary, mercantile entreaty - aren't I sneaky?
The Circle Of Jim Pinny Arcade Pin Set is now available, and yes - the little eggs in the first pin do rattle and shake. There's a few other cool items on the store's Featured Page.
(CW)TB out.
