Ha - I’m not sure I read that as an intended second layer to the joke but that’s still pretty good. Read more

You just KNOW they’re gonna do some stuff like that. Read more

I’m in NG+ so I had to switch back to the ugly-ass griffin gear. I’m almost level 70 tho, which means I can wear the sleeveless intro cat armor soon. Read more

I thought I was gonna like Elfman’s Ultron music more than I did. Read more

Right - fantastic licensed music, but not much of a score. Read more

An audience member at the premiere actually asked about the DC movies’ music, which he also pointed out make a more consistent use of leitmotif. It led to an interesting digression about the ultra pared-down motifs from BVS (apparently Superman’s is literally just a fifth?). The guy asking also said he liked Wonder Read more

Sax intro is only on full podcast episodes. Let me know next time you’re planning to tell a joke, though - I’ll bring my alto Read more

Ha, I’m glad you like it. I was basically like, “If I’m gonna play sax on this, I’m going to really go all in.” Read more

I actually play Rein quite a bit. If we’re pushing the cart and no one else on my team will do it, I’ll usually do it. It’s still a little bit grudging since I have more fun playing Dva/Soldier/Tracer/Mercy, but if it’s what it takes to win, I’m in. Read more

I’m actually adding that as a “consider this” recommendation for my tips post. It’s cool to try to solve each conversational encounter unassisted, by paying attention beforehand and figuring out how best to proceed. Though the social aug is also pretty cool. Def not a bad idea to disable it, especially if you’re Read more

Well, now I wish that was an aug you could get in the game. If you level it all the way up, it sprouts an umbrella, too. Read more
