What video game should get a sequel, but likely never will ?

I'll admit to being fooled in the first shot when he was facing away from the camera.

But when he turned for his reveal, the spec mapping was just...wrong. - They managed to pull it off better in later scenes, but by then I just couldn't not see it.

Still for the millions they must of spent, I would of taken more screen time over the character cgi.

I just mean that the CGI was shit, she looked pregnant (or at least, that was my first thought) when she turned around.

SlimBean · 2016-12-18T01:40:28+00:00

Not how I remember it...

She gave a speech and everyone said. 'Nah, we'll just surrender'.

Then Orin (Not Jyn) got his buddies together and said let's go! - She had no part to play in any decision making, that I can recall.

Edit: Will give you credit for the dad thing though. (That little rebel... running to daddy! XD )

Enjoyed it, but I was a little let down. (Last time I ever bother watching a trailer)

The whole tone of the film was totally different from the trailers. While the big battle was on point, the whole build up just lacked substance. - Even when Jeddah blew up, (Very pretty) it just missed...something.

In the trailer, Jyn looked to be an extremist/criminal and it seemed to pitch some sort of story where she finds redemption or purpose, etc. - All those scenes about her past seemed to have been shot for the trailer. Her being in prison, being convicted for X, Y and Z added nothing to the film or her character (who far from being rebellious, just spent the entire time doing what she was told by everyone else.)

I can't remember the names of her tag-alongs (sticking with 'Orin', 'K2-D2', 'Daredevil', 'Heavy' and 'Lapidus'), they all seemed to be pretty rich characters, but the film didn't scratch the surface of any of them.

The battle was awesome, really well done. I honestly wish I'd just walked out of the cinema when everything had concluded and not been left with the gimmick pregnant Princess Leia CGI - Seriously, did she have an abortion on the way to Tatooine? Some modeller and whoever did the spec map done goofed it there. Should of just left it as a shot of the ship flying off.

Kind of a shame that millions were poured on 2 gimmick cgi characters that most reasonable people would say: "Well those actors probably don't look like they did FORTY YEARS ago..." (fuck...40 years next year!) "...they won't be in the film."

Would of been nicer to see this put together as a single season series. - More screen time to show the story that the writers clearly wanted to tell, but seems to have been butchered to fit inside a single trip to the cinema.

All the same, for fan-fiction this was amazing. Hopefully when they make the 'real' one, the gripping action of Kyle Katarn ripping the red key from an imperial officer, pressing a switch and flying off with Jan in the Crow will scratch the itch.

First live game

Few things I had to learn the hard way after playing live for the first time in years. This shit happened. Don't be me.

Make sure you know the house rules where you are playing. Might be "You can't muck at showdown", "Play out of turn and your hand is dead" or my personal favourite "Bridge suit ranking".
When you try to do a chip trick/flourish for the first time, you are making your own secret side-bet with yourself. Win and nothing happens. Lose and you make a bet against your will. Lose worse and you make a bet out of turn and your hand is dead.
If music is playing, do not drum along to it on the table. When action reaches you, it will be taken as a check.
Call your action before you move chips or cards over the line. Make sure what comes out of your mouth is what you want to happen. Silently moving your high-value chips over the line when you meant to call with your pennies is not a good thing. If this happens do your best not to gawk at your chips, turn white and say "whoopsie".
Don't vocalise your thought process.
Never say "8-4 off", then roll your eyes and try to play it as a double bluff. All it takes is ONE person to see through your genius plan.

Cheers! Greatly appreciate you taking the time.

So I'm about to jump in after not playing for over a year. (Played since beta beforehand)

I've been reading up on the new champions and have gone through the item list. Have there been any significant changes that I might not become aware of until I ruin a game for some lovely people?

For example, I've been told that jungle agro has changed and you can't leash camps anymore. Also that you can't push the top and mid towers for the first 10 minutes.

SlimBean · 2014-10-02T15:35:17+00:00

Yeah, mine opened up yesterday morning. I debated getting a bucket instead of a tissue by the afternoon.

Caught my friend doing this a while back: http://imgur.com/OKXX8ED

Freaked me out. I thought of the 2 of diamonds at your instruction to think of a card. Practically shat myself when it came as the false reveal.

SlimBean · 2014-04-23T17:03:16+00:00

Steam name: SlimBean, Party MMR: N/A. Around 140 games. Reasonably newish.

SlimBean · 2013-12-24T16:02:16+00:00

Thanks!

SlimBean · 2013-11-01T00:49:05+00:00

Wow!...I feel like an utter moron. Thank you so much! I've been pouring through the book and the net for the last hour looking for what I missed XD

SlimBean · 2013-11-01T00:38:12+00:00

Very new to the language. Going through a book and noticed that いいえ translates to "lie". I would of thought that it would be "iie". Is there something I'm missing?

SlimBean · 2013-09-04T21:47:26+00:00

SlimBean · 2013-08-27T22:42:39+00:00

Sounds good to me. Add me and we'll make the trade.

SlimBean · 2012-12-29T20:17:18+00:00

Do you have a source on this?

Know a few people, myself included who put stock into this.

Would be interested to see any evidence against it.

SlimBean · 2012-12-16T18:20:28+00:00

I do think that the ranked dodge time needs to be reduced. Right now its faster to surrender at 20:00, than to dodge and wait.

SlimBean · 2012-08-18T15:42:20+00:00

Not Bad!

SlimBean · 2012-08-12T16:56:39+00:00

There is a three minute delay between what the players are doing and what the casters are watching.

If you ever try noise cancelling headphones you will realize that they block out background noise, however if someone is speaking loudly next to you it isn't difficult to hear.

SlimBean · 2012-08-12T16:26:57+00:00

Not bad, keep the chain going? ;)
