St. Apathy

The idea is that there's this couple, both customizable, and you decide which one you play as. and the other is out of the picture.

So can you only play as that guy? You can't customise your character?

Yes you can. You can even play as the guy's wife.

I'm a bit bummed that, rather than allow more than two companions, they turned it into one.

A pussycock.

The dog is unkilable, too. So that should be a load off.

I did not enjoy Until Dawn. Found the characters dull.

Until Dawn is brilliant from a production/technical standpoint but I did not care for the story and did not like the characters aside from Josh and the wolf.

Have the tabloids being referring to the pair as Hameron?

Having finished Sense8 it really is very good. Not a fan of the reveal that the sensates are

but Jonas is a shifty bugger so who knows.

When are you going, Kate?

12-13/10-ish is my target. Hopefully I'mm be there till early November.

Yeah. Why Scotland, Hus? And for how long?

To be honest it was the spur of the moment thing. I'd previously planned to take November off but work said I can only take October off, so I didn't have much time to plan, and needing to put the paperwork in, I picked Scotland on a whim.

I'm planning on 2 1/2 weeks, maybe 3.

I've been looking at hostels around Edinbrugh. Where the lesser violent Scots at?

So that's a Would Not Recommend on Scotland, then?

I might be heading to Scotland next month. Or maybe not. Depending on if I get a visa in two weeks, and if the internet can make a case for there being things to do in Scotland.

Halfway through Sense8 and it is really quite good.

Both work. Atrophy's more wasting away from neglect, and entropy's a term from thermodynamics, beloved of science fiction writers. What's your context, Kate? There could be a more apt term than either...

No context as suck. Just curious.

As I understand it, entropy might describe order inevitably braking down. I was looking for a word describing the inevitability of all things inevitably doing the same, breaking down, dying, fading away, disappearing, in spite of attempts to prolong their life.

What's the word for the tendency of things to degrade/waste away/die with time?

I like the new True Detective.

Could not get into Witcher 3. Went back to Inquisition.

Zack Snyder is a lost cause, I'm sorry to say. I liked his Superman well enough, but his propensity for over the top messianic imagery irks me, and, you know, all the wind and length.

I hope it does well but I'm looking much, much more forward to Suicide Squad.

I've not watched it yet but Mr Robot has amusing episode titles, it has to be said.

New True Detective anygood?

And the PS4 gets a Media Player. It seems to only play MP4s, and there's no option for chapter previews, but still.

Arkham Knight, predictable reveals aside, is an A game. Arguably the best big band number in a Batman adaptation this decade.

Batman: Arkham Knight is a thing of beauty. I have seen tank battles, I have seen as good a fight scene as can be had with Batman via the new fear teakdowns, and I have seen one of the best tripped out scenes in video games, and I'm evidently only 11% in. Arkham Knight is love. I can't say for sure, but it seems like it might just strike the balance between world scale and story content that tends to be illusive.
