[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

[Byrd Man]

What is the Witcher about? Never played the games. I know it's very popular and seems like it's fantasy and you can fuck people. That's all I've gotten from the zeitgeist.

@Byrd Man

The Witcher focuses on the titular character, Geralt of Rivia and his allies while they hunt monsters and get caught up in other shenanigans. I haven't played any of the previous installments or read the books but in Wild Hunt, the plot revolves around trying to find your adoptive daughter before the titular antagonist does and along the way you find yourself drawn into a few different political plots and numerous other side quests.

Oh and you can have sex by romancing four or five different companions or you can pay for it at various brothels. Each interaction comes with a gratititous cut scene. Most are pretty generic but there's a few unique ones.

Also semi-on-topic:

Netflix investing half their budget for CGI beard. Quoted as saying "never again."

I'm not surprised Wraith was the first one to jump on that explanation..

Man, I really wanted to work on my posts during Labor Weekend. But my sister decided to come visit us unannounced so there was that. Oh well, I could try again later. And I hope the Witcher series does well. I really loved the games and books.

I keep meaning to play the Witcher games -- picked up the first two on a Steam sale a while back -- but I don't have 100+ hours to commit to three supposedly giant RPGs. Plus, I've been told the gameplay (or at least the combat) for the first one really sucks, so that doesn't have me in any hurry to try it.

I dunno how well Cavill can play the ladies' man Geralt, though, what with his fear of getting accused of sexual harassment.

And all I know on top of that is that if you try to two-time your love interests, they'll trick you into agreeing to a threesome so they can tie you up and leave you there.

In my day that game was called Leisure Suit Larry... although they didn't bother with the monsters... unless you count STD riddled hookers.

Eesh, tough crowd.

Semi On Topic:

Henry Cavill has been cast as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's Witcher Series.

@Lord Wraith

...and now back to topics that don't give @Lord Wraith a semi.

I wanted to like it, but it just was not fun enough to put 100+ hours in

You give me too much credit.

On the subject of the totally plagiarized from Elric of Melnibone Witcher series and of getting a semi, that gameplay reveal of Cyberpunk 2077 looked pretty sweet. I mean, it's definitely leaning pretty hard on edgy-boy shock value, but if you're not going for edgy-boy shock value, are you even doing cyberpunk at all? And I can't take the sidekick character seriously when he's speaking in that Dora-the-Explorer white-people Spanish that everyone does with Latino characters, where they speak perfectly fluent English but then just say one random word in Spanish per sentence. But the game itself looks like a lot of fun.

Of course, given that these pre-scripted 'gameplay demos' are almost never indicative of the final product, I fully expect them to deliver on maybe 30% of what they're promising, but even then it oughta be pretty enjoyable. Now to just sit and wait for it along with Star Citizen, Half-Life 3, the original build of Duke Nukem Forever, Bill and Ted 3, the live-action Akira, Del Toro's Mountains of Madness, Dr. Dre's detox, the last Song of Ice and Fire books, and all the other cool stuff that will never, ever, ever actually come out.

cough

[Lord Wraith]

The Gauntlet has been thrown.

[Byrd Man]

Spoilers for next season, man.

[Master Bruce]

You know, I'm committed to the whole Batman thing and all...

But becoming aware of the existence of Juggerduck is the one time I've considered saying "fuck it" and tossing away the cowl in favor of a different character.
