Doomfall: Enemy Call

Okay, you've voted Cultists in the room the group is about to enter. There will be three of them.

I'm thinking of a number between one and ten. The first three people to guess the correct number can email me a photo and I'll draw a cultist in your likeness. One guess per person, if I see multiple comments from you, you're disqualified. I'll notify you in the comments once we've found our three, so make sure you check back later.

***UPDATE: The number was 2! I've replied to the fi...

Our adventurers have wandered further into the dungeon. They are near a door with enemies inside. What enemies do they find in there?

Anyone else think  talking to some people just feels like a cutscene with quick-time events you have to pass in order to maintain your cover as a polite, socially interested human being in order to progress to the more *actually* interesting parts of your day?

No, just me?

It has been... honestly, I don't even KNOW how long since I've seen Star Wars fans practically unanimous in their enjoyment of the franchise. But the most argument I've seen over The Mandalorian so far has been whether it's a good show or a great show (I'm in the latter camp). It's been a nice change of pace, to simply discuss how much we like the characters/lore etc, instead of arguing over alien titty milk.

This is the way.

I dunno, maybe we DON'T bestow godly power on the small sentient creatures we've enslaved to our every whim? Just a thought.

I'm going to be taking Thursday off for Thanksgiving family time, so no comic Friday. Have a great weekend, everyone!

I have never been into Pokemon. Until recently, a short daliance with Pokemon Go and a few hours with a previous game (Black? White? One of those) was the extent of my hands-on with the franchise. I have played more Pokemon in the last week than in all of the previous twenty-three years combined.

Well, "played." I'm not actually playing. We bought Pokemon Shield for our six-year-old who loves Pokemon, and this is his first Pokemon game. I'm more of his co-pilot, helping him...

Launched, not with a bang but with a whimper.

Curious to see if the joke comes across on this one, or if it's too much of a deep cut* into Star Wars canon.

Jedi: Fallen Order may be the best Star Wars game since Kotor. Amazingly realized and a great blend of challenging combat and Metroid/Uncharted style level design, with lots of retraversing with new powers that continually change the tactics available to you. As a game, it's fantastic, and as a look at the period immediately following the Empire's rise, it's a really cool story.

So it's disappointing to find that the game's "collectibles" aspect is so... boring. The ACT of collecting i...

I sometimes find myself divided between the Dad in me, and the nerd in me. The Dad part of me always wins out, because my kids are the most important thing in my life. But I've been a nerd for much longer than I've been a Dad, so it's still a pretty loud inner voice.

Even as a kid in the 90s, I remember complaining about the X-Men cartoon and how Wolverine only ever used his claws against the Sentinels, or to open doors. Against humans he would broadside them with the flat ...

There are two doors out of the room the adventurers are currenly in. One is locked, the other is not.

Is the locked door trapped against tampering?

I don't even know how to begin discussing this game.

I have this feeling, and I've had it for a while now, that people are finding less and less joy in gaming.

I'm growing weary of this culture of outrage that we're living in, where it seems like the only thing people enjoy anymore is being mad at shit. Recently it feels like every month we're boycotting some new game developer for some new thing they did or said.

I'm not arguing that we, as a community of gamers, shouldn't be speaking up about things;...
