The design and aesthetic look aside, it's the animation that looks crappy to me. You look at any of the other past iterations of Masters of the Universe, and this one looks like it's going for a weird Dr. Katz/not-serious scribbley-line toss away toon in comparison. Almost kinda like how the new Thundercats being previewed looks... just like there's no effort coming from Mattel's wallet.
I didn't even know there was a trailer in the wild. Link?

I need to stop wandering from town to town and start following the story. I just keep trying to fight my way at level 24 through all those Danger 45 zones to get to later game towns.

Remember when DC was rebooting all of their comics with New 52? Remember when they reboot the Titans and everyone was pissed and completely befuddled by why DC didn't capitalize on the success of the Teen Titans cartoon and not go all grim dark? That was nearly a decade ago. Good to know DC hasn't learned anything.

I feel kind of bad for the guy who brought this lawsuit because his reasons are valid (even if his legal complaint might not be). Unlike the complainers who are upset about the costs of the game, or the ones who complain because it's taking so long, the developer literally changed course in development and is no longer creating the type of game he originally sold to the public. The plaintiff was expecting a game that he'd be able to play, but because of his ailment, he literally can't compete in that new type of game. For PR reasons, they should have just worked with him, but they took the asshole approach instead. And yeah, they're legally allowed to do that, but it's caused people, like me, to think there's no way in the world I'd give money to an entity like this.
The plaintiff didn't sue the company because of the amount of money. I get the impression that he's not suffering a financial burden but sued more out of principle than anything else. But I still feel bad for him, which is never a justification a court has ever used for deciding in one's favor.
It's not the asshole approach if giving him the refund opens up some crazy can of worms. Imagine having to refund everyone that is unhappy with the direction the game is going on? Even then, if you make an exception for him, are they going to make the same exception for everyone that claims a medical issue? Are they going to all for doctor's notes?
That's just too many questions and no company would/should have to ever put themselves in that situation.

So, once you finish a chapter, you just up and pick another character on the map?
Olberic is hilarious with his "challenge everyone" ability. Until you challenge an old bar maid and she wipes the floor with you.
Just head toward the next town where you can recruit/play through the first chapter of the next character.

I went into this game knowing nothing and I'm happy I wound up going with Therion. It's nice not having to go back to other towns to pick pocket random NPCs.

Why do I feel like this is just legend's weak attempt to crowd source his settings for Skynet?

And she’s totally right, the cost is absurd.
I may have mentioned this story here before, but I had to deal with this shit with my son. At just two weeks old, he wasn't keeping even half an ounce of food down. We took him to the nearest ER and he needed an IV. At that time of the night, however, they didn't have anyone that could get the IV in him or perform the surgery he needed, so he had to be sent over to Tufts in Boston. Since he was still under hospital care, we couldn't opt to just drive him there ourselves. Since we, apparently, took him to the wrong hospital, insurance didn't cover the cost of the 35m ambulance ride. We wound up getting stuck with the cost of that and the IV they failed to get in him.
It was great. It took months to pay down that bill. So many others would have just gone bankrupt with the charges. Yay!

The expectation shouldn't be death threats. Obviously. But that's how it is. That's how it has been, and that's how it's going to continue to be. It's not that he should just "suck it up," it's that someone should've prepped him that this is exactly the kind of bullshit you can expect in the industry.
Unless someone has a good fucking plan to deal with anonymous crazy people.
If you say so. Again, if anyone ever comes up with a fucking solution, lemme know. You're not going to talk sense into crazy people, and crazy people are the ones who are obsessed enough to give death threats most of the time. Ergo, this is an expected part of the business and no amount of "It shouldn't be like this!" is going to fucking fix it.
There's a very easy solution. Just start banning these shitty people from social media. There's a difference between shitting in a character in a movie and shitting on the movie. If Facebook and Twitter made it easy to just report and get these people off the, this wouldn't be such a problem. The issue is that neither company really wants to do anything about it and will normally just play lip service to the toxicity. Twitter is, by far, the worst in this aspect.
If you can't dislike something without harassing people and making death threats, maybe you just shouldn't be allowed to interact with your fellow humans online.

He needs Kawhi + another star + decent role players (they'll lose their good youth in a kawhi trade) to even compete with GS and Houston.
So what you're saying is that LeBron, a perennial finals player, is going to end his career in a series of conference finals exists?

@Ghost_MH - I preordered the game for you. I'll send you the keys upon its release.
Sweet. You didn't have to do any of this, so it was much appreciated. Thanks!

This is the sort of thing that always gets lost in the both sides talk. There's a big difference between spinning and trying to be deceptive with how you're telling the truth and straight up making up facts pulled out of thin air.
Also, yay. Using government agents to intimidate people is always cool.

Tonight's recipient is @Ghost_MH - what will it be?
Hey cool. I'm about to have another girl so that's going to be some long nights. Let's go for an RPG. Octopath Traveler comes out next month, right? Yeah, let's go for that, if that's not a pain in the ass.

Aren't they putting radioactive material in the moat?
If I'm not mistaken that was part of the plan. No clue if it was ever actually acted upon, though.

Megalobox might be something for your tastes if you're into the old school anime, especially since it's a Ashita no Joe project
BANG.

It's ridiculous how intimidating those stupid, mouthed, gun sounds wonderful up being as the stores went along. Great anime with not at all annoying CG, even if it is noticable at times.
As to the question in the OP, I started with all the stuff find in the back of Blockbuster. I think that wound up being stuff like Ninja Scroll and Akira. The first anime I ever imported were some Kodomo No Omocha bootlegs. I think my first anime VHS was Ghost in the Shell. God, I remember dropping like $150 on a Record of Lodoss Was box set from a Suncoast way back when. Same place I picked up my first anime DVD, Perfect Blue.
I haven't had a lot of time for anime as of late. Before binging Inuyashiki, I think the last anime I completed was the second season of Attack on Titan or Mob Psycho 100. I caught those around the same time.
-
Random: I just binged Inuyashiki with my wife. It's a short eleven episodes. It does a great job of recreating the manga, even if I never realized how much crying was in the manga until I saw it animated. Good stuff.

Does no one call their previous employer after the interview? I would think just not showing up to work would come back to bite you in the ass once a potential employer called around.
Employers can't give negative feedback on those calls to previous employers. All you can do it confirm the days they worked there and titles.

Aww poor bosses getting a taste of their own medicine
I don't like doing it, myself, but this is pretty much a result of this same behavior coming from interviewing companies. I don't know how many times I've gone in for first, second, or even third time interviews and then complete radio silence. After a while I'll just assume I didn't get the job. That happens to you enough, it's bound to start going the other way. If enough time goes by, I'll just write the company off as someone I don't ever want to work.
So here's my shocked face. I'm shocked that something that companies that have made this kind of professionalism a norm are now dealing with the repercussions.

We need an official white people being afraid of minorities thread. Then we'd also have a place to dump the story of a guy that was trying to protect a gated community from a black woman that lived in it.

She-Ra Co-Creator strikes back at critics
in The Performing Arts Centre
Posted
As for the design, I think it's fine. She Ra was supposed to be He Man, but for girls. If this reboot is supposed to target the same demographic, this style works perfectly fine. Honestly, I have two daughters, and I wouldn't want a cartoon aimed at them to star someone that's supposed to be sexy.
That all aside, I do find the idea of complaining about the integrity of a series created with the specific goal of selling little girls themed dolls to be hilarious.
