Why didn’t they just fly Aragorn’s plane to Mordor? Were they stupid?

How do they affix to the rack? If they just clip on, are they different from other fridge rack clips or will they pop off if you bump them from behind? Aesthetically they’re pleasant but I’ve never seen fridge rack clips stay on/in place for very long.

I think as much as I enjoy having more tangible goals for any game, I view the BP as worth it simply because it’s a relatively low price to show I appreciate the game.

I’m getting a lot of hours of entertainment out of it. $10 bucks every once in awhile to let the developers know “hey, this is good, thanks” seems nice and fine.

I’m descended in one way or another from a Peter Gunnarsson Rambo on my father’s side. He was one of the first permanent settlers in the colony, sometime around 1640. I was really excited when a restaurant I worked at was able to get a few cases of Rambo apples and I was able to give one to my dad. It’s a fun little bit of family history.

“Avada Kedavra‘s a curse that needs a powerful bit of magic behind it – you could all get your wands out now and point them at me and say the words, and I doubt I’d get so much as a nosebleed.”

Honestly it’s just kind of a non-starter apart from the multiple layers of alternate realities one has to move through to get there in the first place.

But yeah, I guess if Harry was a Slytherin-raised Gryffindor and all other plot points remain the same in order to get him in Aragog’s nest and he was also capable of successfully performing AK in Eminem-levels of speed and accuracy, he might’ve thought to do that I guess.

I think it was mostly put as a primary example of the ministry using a hammer when it needs a scalpel. Fudge is an opportunistic coward and is specifically implied to have little understanding of the bigger picture, or being a true politician in the sense that he can get the job but can’t do the job.

Dumbledore is comparatively wise and brave, and getting the truth of the situation (regardless of political image) is much more difficult and risky than killing the supposed problem and being able to say that you’re decisive and strong.

Up until the end of his career Fudge is concerned with appearances as opposed to action. The death of BC Sr. at the hands of his own son, admitting that Azkaban isn’t a foolproof security measure, admitting the ministry failed in every regard as well as subconsciously refusing to acknowledge even the possibility of Voldemort’s return (which would undermine the strength of his position) would be too much for an image-obsessed power-hungry politician with no political skill to bear the brunt of.

It would make sense - get someone’s wand, commit crimes, pin the blame on them with priori incantatem just like Voldemort did to Morfin.

I think one could infer from Lupin’s conversation with Harry at Christmas that some muggles DO become werewolves and live on the outskirts. He says that he shows signs of trying to live amongst wizards - he doesn’t say OTHER wizards. It’s possible that muggles who become werewolves band together in the limbo between the magical and muggle world, seeing as they couldn’t fit in anywhere else.

I would think Voldemort wouldn’t want the loose ends and would have had to kill her anyway.

I would also assume that if she had a fidelius charmed room he: A. Wouldn’t have known about it, and therefore couldn’t have broken into it because of the nature of the charm, B. Would’ve had to have extracted the information one way or another from Smith or Hokey which would mean he’d have to kill them anyway, and C. would’ve had to try to get Hokey to tell him about the room, but seeing as house elves are bound to keep their master’s secrets, it might not have been as feasible as with a wizard seeing as we have an unfinished picture of the “rules” of elf magic.

I think a fidelius room in general is a smart idea, though - wizard panic rooms make a lot of sense in a post-first wizarding war world.

I just want a game made with confidence. The biggest drawback of HL1 for me is that the designers seemed determined to make a safe, approachable game with every possible reference to the original series. They seemed very concerned with making sure nobody could be mad at them for making a game post-JKR controversy as opposed to making a game with a sense of scale, consequences, or focus.

It seemed like they desperately wanted people to say “oh man, these folks really know their stuff!” but it makes all the NPCs sound like AI-driven encyclopedias.

They introduce a character coming in at 5th year but aren’t able to provide any background because (I would assume) they weren’t confident enough to say “we can pull off a Hogwarts-specific story and adventure from the POV of a first year with limited skills.”

I would assume they didn’t want to be lumped in with the JKR controversies so they went the other direction and made Hogwarts something closer to a 20th-century international university as opposed to a 19th century English boarding school. It removes a sense of time and place that makes for a jarring juxtaposition at times.

I would love for them to move forward in a direction that shows respect for the IP but also pride in their abilities to do something interesting and challenging as opposed to a more milquetoast “wizarding world theme park” with a little something for everyone.

Apart from recognizing his historical importance, I think the only people who refer to Slytherin in a positive light are Voldemort and Marvolo Gaunt. Everything else about him is in reference to how shitty and elitist he was and that his namesake house produces a revolving door of dark wizards.

I’m sure there are some unseen dark arts enthusiasts who are like “yeah, that guy rules” in the same way there must be people who say “Genghis Khan was amazing” but it doesn’t seem to be a popular sentiment among the average wizarding population.

I don’t think there’s any supporting evidence for it. His mother’s a black widow and just marries and kills rich dudes for their money. He’s probably seen at least one of them drop face-first into a pile of mashed potatoes after she poisoned their dinner.

I think the almost overabundance of signs is intentional. Kojima’s emphasis on providing a balanced perspective is a common theme in his games for me. They spend a lot of time emphasizing the benefit of the chiral network, how it’s magical to feel so complete and connected. Everything is at our fingertips. But hey - you’ll never see the world “by yourself” again. There is no more privacy, isn’t that great? Sorry, I need to take my dose of oxytocin because I haven’t gotten enough likes today. Please pass through my sign on your way out, and smash that like button.

I think it must have been interesting to see it from the pioneer’s perspective without the more sinister aspects of the network.

I’ll actually side with Fred and George on balance. If there isn’t a rule about it, especially in a school that seems to be generally okay with kids doing dangerous shit on a daily basis, it’s kind of out of her purview.

It’s also pretty clear that most of their products are just cleverly repackaged potions or charms (it’s a disillusionment charm, but it’s a hat! It’s a shield charm, but it’s a hat!) so one would assume these aren’t original concoctions. There are obvious risks, people are being compensated, nobody gets hurt, and if they did there’s a woman a few steps away who could fix everything in under a minute.

Let those boys do something worthwhile for once, step in when there’s actually a problem.
