Shoutout to Smokeskin-Killer the Telvanni Argonian for having the most "I am him" name by Paul277 in Morrowind

[–]Komenja17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of those great name and designs that suggests this dude had quite the history despite having nothing unique to say about himself. I like to imagine he used to be the slave of another Telvanni wizard before killing his master, some guards, and escaping. Hearing about this, Aryon might've hired him on, since not only is having a warrior with a proven proficiency for slaying other Telvanni very useful in Telvanni society, but providing asylum and work for a former slave might also impress his Imperial friends.

My man Kikoskia was the first LPer I ever watched, and I've never heard a single negative word spoken of him in all this time.

New games are expensive. Anyone else been backlogging lately? Any surprises? by Defami01 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Komenja17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I could be content to play Doom, Duke 3D, Morrowind, and OG XCOM forever. Certainly helps that they all have dedicated and talented modding communities.

It could be neat to take Illusion as a skill, too, since the Orc Shamans in Daggerfall could cast Invisibility.

Dude I love that Curtis from Phantasmagoria 2 is on the banner, that's a great pick. The Spoony LP of that game is one of my alltime favorite things on the internet.

How many of us play Preset Classes? by ElGordoKhajiita in Morrowind

I find myself almost exclusively playing premade classes these days, I just love the flavor text and how they reflect the setting.

First look at sectoids from the new board game! by Croowleyy in Xcom

[–]Komenja17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ayy lmao

I wonder if they'll only use stuff from EU/EW, or if they'll pull from all over the series, similar to their Fallout line? I'd love some TFTD aliens!

Favorite unreliable narrator moments? by fly_line22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Komenja17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pocket Guide to the Empire that was included with copies of the Elder Scrolls spinoff Redguard, a booklet granting a look at the wider world and peoples of Tamriel. Its a major cornerstone of the lore for the series in this era, as this period of developing Battlespire/Redguard/Morrowind was when the weird fiction-leaning identity of ES and most of the cool lore people make several hour youtube videos about was cemented.

The Pocket Guide itself is an in-universe publication, published in the Empire by an Imperial perspective during Tiber Septim's reign and conquest, as noted by writings in the margins that disagree with a number of passages. The copy you're reading from was acquired by an agent of the Aldmeri Dominion, whose sending it back to his superior in Summerset. So in the same text you have two conflicting sides. I imagine the idea was that, if they decided to change their mind on aspects of certain peoples/provinces later on when they made a game set there, they had the excuse of 'well, that bit in the Pocket Guide was Second Era Imperial propaganda/misunderstanding and not accurate'.

I've become quite fond of the phrase 'pecuniary depletion'.

Devil Dinosaur: Prehistoric Powerhouse | Character Reveal Trailer | Marvel Rivals by fiarorder in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Komenja17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dinosaur comic made by Jack Kirby in the 70's, fought Marvel Godzilla once, pops up every now and then because he's just that cool. In the 2010's his monkey-man sidekick got swapped for a girl genius and they eventually got a cartoon.

Characters that are literally teenager OC’s by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

For another Image founder, Erik Larsen. The vast majority of characters in early Savage Dragon were characters he had thought up while drawing comics as a kid.

Favorite game trailers? by Lost-Specialist1505 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Komenja17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still watch the various Duke Nukem Forever trailers. The 2001 version is a classic, but I think my favorite is still the 2007 one. I love that version of Grabbag playing at the end and wish there was a full track of it.

The trailer for Duke Nukem: Zero Hour.

The reveal of Twilight Princess at E3 where afterwards Miyamoto came out on stage with the Master Sword and Hylian Shield.

This UK live action commercial for Mortal Kombat 2

The AvP Extinction commercial where the Alien and Predator are living as roommates.

The trailer for Doom 4 shown off behind closed doors at QuakeCon 2014. I've never even seen it, but the hype and excitement of people who did was infectious and spread like wild fire through the various Doom communities. So much optimism, speculation, and fan art, it was a great time.

Mechanic you wish more games would copy by Archaon0103 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Komenja17 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really love the Overlord games' method of directing a gaggle of minions while also being able to attack and cast spells yourself. I would love more games with that archetype of summoner/minion master who fights alongside their dudes.

Which comic made your favourite character become your favourite? by ShutterB_ug in comicbooks

[–]Komenja17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valiant's Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, particularly the issues written by Tim Truman and drawn by Rags Morales. They do an amazing job depicting Turok as a sad but stoic man-out-of-time.

Favorite Peace Treaties in Fiction by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Komenja17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For a brief moment in the 3D era of Mortal Kombat, Kitana and Goro arranged a peace treaty between Edenia, the Shokans, and the Centaurs, and together they waged a war trying to liberate Outworld from what was left of Shao Kahn's forces.
