I feel compelled to disown you two after that disgraceful show of historical and martial knowledge. Though fun fact, there are way more Dragon Age mods floating around in the ether, but Nexus has a policy against them because of EA being all lawyered up with people trying to use their content.
@Andy639_basic Don't mind them. Back in E3 they made a reference to Les Miserables when talking about AC: Unity, which is pretty much like saying Scarface is set in World War II era Miami. AC: Unity 1792, Les Mis 1832.
They know about videogames, not history and literature and that's (sort of) okay.
All right. I have no philosophical disagreements with this show's premise. Are you planning on just covering game stories or are you going to take other complex issues and distill them into their essence? I'm guessing that next week's episode will be based on Assassin's Creed and the following week will be a flawed summation of Dragon Age (in that there are so many permutations based on player agency which change pivotal story events, unless you break down Dragon Age Origins into "There was a blight, your character joined the grey wardens and after a tragic defeat at Ostragar, rallied some allies and ended the blight").
I can see the value of a show like this and I'm looking forward to seeing future content.
@SaintsRowLA @Verenti Why go where everyone goes? That sounds perfectly boring. More so if you are going somewhere everyone goes and those people are all Canadians. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies, mostly because those people are Canadians and having to deal with room after room full of Canadians is already something they have to put up with anyhow. So it really defeats the purpose to wish upon them such a fate.
Seb, don't listen to the abuse. I still love you :(
Start/Select forever. (You'd think I could let it go already. It's been years.)
and Lucy is going to Canada? Where abouts? That'd be super cool and/or exciting if I wasn't sure it wasn't to the lame parts like BC or Ontario or Quebec. Because that's where everyone goes.
As someone trained as a social scientist, I think this episode is misguided. The name implies that Andy changed because he bought a car. From the episode, it was pretty clear he was interested prior in both Subarus and in cars prior. What this episode is about isn't about change, but education. It's why my phone has tons of tracks from Rock Band and Vice City, because these games introduced me to new things I liked, not that I am different than who I was before. Though, yes, games can do that too: any experience can. Alpha Centauri changed who I am, because it opened me up to new ideas and expanded my perception. Alpha Centauri gave me new ways to think about conciousness. Considering I was 13 at the time, that had an effect, sure.
Learning new rote behaviours is not this. When you drove through the construction, you initiated it by rote, but you as a person said "wait, what am I doing?" Indicating that your own moral standpoint had not changed.
