  • Life has never been the same since I learned that Stuart Little is actually a human boy that just looks like a rat instead of actually being a rat.

  • Stuart Little is a human furry...

    Eh, I still think that Remy would beat Stuart Little in a fight.

    (It has been brought to my attention that I said a food name and not the rat's name, I have wronged you all... To make up for it, I will post funny rat meme because rat is rat.)

    Hold on a minute... WHAT?!

    (From Wikipedia)
    It is a realistic fantasy about a mouse-like human boy named Stuart Little. According to the first chapter, he ″looked very much like a rat/mouse in every way″.

    I'm pretty sure I've only ever seen the film, and I'm pretty sure the film drops any notion of a mouse-looking-human boy, and just sticks with "mouse".

    Here's another big reveal about the movie: M. Night Shyamalan was one half of the writer's team for Stuart Little.

    The name's Remy, my dude. Ratatouille is the food.

    Remy totally would. He picked up a whole kitchen knife at one point; he definitely could do some damage.

    This is kinda a weird thing to say randomly but I feel like Troy Baker is 100% going to be in The Wolf Among Us 2 assuming there is a new major male character role. It feels like every video he is in where he talks about Telltale, he always brings up Nick Herman and Pierre Shorette and how much he enjoyed working with them. Even more interesting is he was just recently talking about Batman S1 and he said Nick and Pierre had this idea that he loved and thought was incredible about Oz that Nick and Pierre had thought up of but was ultimately shot down by executives and higher ups because it "broke the cannon too much."

    I'm actually super interested to know what that idea was seeing how (according to the game's credits at least, who knows if their involvement was actually a lot bigger behind the scenes) Nick and Pierre did not have that major of a role in the creative process anymore post TFTBL and then they left mostly due (iirc from the Campo Santo interview) the company not making games they were excited about anymore. Kinda wanna know what their original ideas for Batman were seeing how I always thought it was really odd a lot of the AdHoc crew post TFTBL were in minor creative roles compared to what they were doing before hand.

    (Anthony Ingruber I wouldnt be surprised if he will also appear as Boy Blue seeing how it seems people working at modern Telltale right now like him and Anthony obviously seems like he wants to get back into doing Telltale VO)

  • If I remember that Campo Santo interview correct I believe Nick said they had to kinda cash in their karma chips to make it happen because they worked there so long, and seeing how higher ups wanted to just abruptly cancel the game half way through, I wouldnt be too surprised if there was an active effort to make sure they were in roles that could no longer stand in the way of executive choices once Tales ended.

    Who knows if theres any truth to that theory, but I always thought it was so weird some of the longest and most talented staff members after Tales seemed to have their roles reduced the year after and then left the studio.

  • If either of them voice anyone from Fables, it's going to be Boy Blue. That character screams Troy Baker.

  • https://thegww.com/exclusive-dc-fandome-digital-convention-scheduled-for-august/

    DC/WB is hosting a conference/virtual con on August 22nd where they plan on announcing a bunch of new games, movies and comics and showing off footage for upcoming ones. This could be our first real look at TWAU2 assuming AdHoc/Telltale have made it far enough in development to whip up a trailer. If not, they may at least do some interviews.

  • Eh- I dont know. I dont really think Troy would be that great of a cast for Boy Blue. Granted I haven't heard him do more of a "20 year old" voice before so maybe he can, but I feel the closest we get would be Boy Blue sounding like Rhys if Troy voiced him. I feel Troy would better fit someone like Prince Charming. (Unlikely Charming will appear, but I feel he is more suited to voice a more "manly" character rather than one thats suppose to be more boyish.)

    Now I feel stupid for making my last post.

    tl;dr: AT&T is selling off WB's gaming division. Apparently they're negotiating with several large companies including EA to sell everything to them. I don't think it needs to be said how bad this is, especially for nuTelltale/AdHoc.

    RIP to TWAU2 again, I guess.

  • I don't think it needs to be said how bad this is, especially for nuTelltale/AdHoc.

    I think it needs to be said. What effect does this have on Telltale Games / AdHoc?

    Here's what IGN has to say:

    Any company that does purchase WB Interactive will not gain the rights to IP like Batman or Harry Potter, which is owned by Warner Bros. Instead, any deal will likely include a “commercial licensing agreement where AT&T can continue to get revenue from its IP.”
    A potential purchase will, however, include studios that belong to WB Interactive like NetherRealm and Rocksteady, the developers behind Mortal Kombat, and the Batman Arkham series respectively.

    Basically, WB still owns the rights for its IPs like DC, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc. They'll still continue to receive profits from whatever games are made with those IPs since they're the ones who control the licensing, but the new owners of whichever company buys WB Interactive out will have control over the smaller affiliate studios that are owned by WB, like NRS and Rocksteady, meaning that they'd also have control over what projects live or die, no matter how far along in production they are.

    tbh, I have no idea how deeply entrenched Telltale is with WB Games, but they're still using their IPs and WB was going to publish TWAU2; you can see their logo in the Game Award trailer. This deal could be bad news if Telltale is included in it in any way and whoever buys WB Games up decides to start canceling projects that they don't think are profitable or fit their business model. EA is notorious for doing this, so they're the worst case scenario.

    THAT SAID, I might be totally off the mark here, so if anyone has a better understanding of how a deal like this would work, weigh in. But I do think it's alarming since 1) TWAU (and Telltale Batman) are DC related IPs, 2) TWAU2 is probably going to be a very small production, is a niche title with a niche game model, which would put it on the chopping block, 3) we have no idea what the fuck is going on with Telltale or this game. Either way, I think it's important to talk about.

  • Theres no real reason to worry about Wolf 2 with this whole Warner Bros Games being sold thing. Im sure it wont be super convenient but LCG owns The Wolf Among Us, and already completed a license deal for the Fables IP, and are the ones developing it. That whole licensing deal already went down and shouldn't be able to be backed out on. Had Wolf 2 been saved by Warner Bros games directly and was being developed in house at one of their studios (like Rocksteady for example,) then this would be a much more alarming issue. But Warner does not own LCG/Telltale so that wont happen.

    Im not going to act like Im some IP and business know it all because Im not, but I dont realistically see this leading to Wolf 2 being canceled in anyway. If someone ends up buying Warner Bros Interactive (which does not own LCG,) theres no real reason to actively try and stop developing it as they shouldnt be in a position to actually make them stop developing it. Also Fables falls under the same rule of thumb as Batman where Warner and DC still owns the Fables brand. And also again, LCG isnt owned by Warner so whoever buys this cant just go to LCG and tell them to stop. The licensing deal was already finished. The worst that can happen is whoever buys Warner Interactive doesnt invest any money (but Im 95% certain WB wasnt investing any money with LCG in the first place and only made a licensing deal, basically being a one time purchase.)

  • Don’t you just fucking hate it when you run into one major god damn problem on your pc, then when you try to find a solution people either make useless inputs or start using all this geeky command prompt type talk. Like fella, I’m here because I have no idea what I’m doing, what makes you think I’m going to have any idea what you’re talking about?

  • Unplug the AGP but be sure to power off your pc, next make sure you careful remove the DRAM but not before the PCI, now plug the AGP back in then the DRAM and finally the AGP, boot it up in BIOS and Baby, you got a stew going!

    So, we've finally got a proper trailer for the Mafia remake.

    I recognized most, if not all, of the scenes (still have PTSD from the race mission), so I'm not really worried about them changing the story much. However, the fact that the game is planned to come out in to months and they still haven't shown any gameplay is a bit concerning. I think they were supposed to show some on monday, but it got quietly removed from the lineup, so idk what to think, lel. I'm still cautiously optimistic, but you know, less so than before.

    Trailer looks nice though. That theme at the end, pure nostalgia.

  • Ahh, I don't know how I should feel. I don't mind Hangar 13 redesigning characters and re-doing voices, because the voice acting in the original was very poor. But what they did to my man Tommy - I just don't like the change. He looks so generic, and sounds like your average born-and-bred Mafioso. In the 2002 game he always seemed like an outisder to the family, not really fitting in. Also, he seems too badass in the remake, I hope this is only for the purpose of marketing the game.

    And yeah I agree, definitely not optimistic for the gameplay. Honestly though, after the disaster that was Mafia 3, I don't mind if this game doesn't actually look like a 2020 game. As long as it runs smoothly with minimal bugs and glitches, I'm happy. I'm interested to see how they'll change the shooting, will it just become a typical cover-shooter?

  • Heh. Any natural disaster-based fiction that releases this year is going to be met with jokes that it could still happen to us in 2020.

    Even better if it takes place in 2020 in the first place, like this upcoming Netflix anime series in July. Japan Sinks: 2020. Yup. That's an odd coincidence for a messed-up year.

  • I get that concern. It's true that it seems like they're making Tommy look like too much of a badass when he's supposed to be more of a likeable nice guy, but it's not such a big deal for me. Honestly, I'm more bothered by the fact that Sam looks too young, hehe.

    As for the gunplay, they'll probably modernize it, so I'm expecting it'll work similarly to Mafia 3. Which I wouldn't mind that much, it was the tedious repetitiveness of taking over the districts that killed the game for me and I understand that they need to make it more approachable to casual audience. Of course, the glitches could sour the experience of any game, so that's what I'm mostly worried about.

  • I'm more bothered by the fact that Sam looks too young, hehe.

    Lol if Hangar 13 were given the time, I would have told you that it's because the race mission happens early in the game, and because the game takes place from 1930-1938, the characters and Lost Heaven will evolve. That would be cool.

    Anyone know how long it's been since we've been able to download Tales From The Borderlands, because I know Episode 1 (the main menu download) has been taken off of stores, but only today, after browsing through my PS4 purchase history, did I find I was unable to re-download Episode 1.

    It's in my purchases list, and it knows I have the DLC available to download for free... But it's no use without EP1.

    So... It's like with P.T.
    2K have taken it off the PSN servers, so there's no way to re-download it even if you own it digitally. That's pretty scummy.

  • Epic : Spinosaurus and indominus Rex fight.

  • Holy fuck you guys :)

  • hey if anyone is depressed about the absolute state of this year and anxious that the rest of the decade will also be awful just remember that 2020 is just some number and numbers have literally zero significance other than the arbitrary meaning we assign to them so the likelyhood that the rest of this decade is going to be bad is very slim since the numbering of the year doesnt actually dictate anything regarding it's contents.

    it's far more likely statistically that the following years will be far more pleasant, and if you don't believe me just remember the y2k and december 21st 2012 stuff. 2016 was a far worse year than either of those things combined and yet due to what some nutcase conspiracy theorists said the aforementioned two dates were blown way out of proportion and everybody panicked despite (other than a certain terrorist event) the early 2000s being pretty aight for the world and 2012 absolutely not marking the end of humanity

    anyway if you're reading this and you're depressed about the state of the world or literally anything else, please seek emotional support and learn alternative methods to self treating yourself because your problems are valid, feeling sad about things is valid and you are valid and deserve to feel happy. and if you don't like the state of things, look into local charities and scheduled protests and ask how you can help make the world a better place, which you absolutely have the power to do because you're a human and human's can do incredible things.

    things can and will only improve from here, it'll all be a-ok. stay cool, have a great summer, black lives matter, and play dark souls 2 on the ps3 it's pretty good. my dms are always open if y'all ever need to vent about stuff goin on. love y'all, stay safe

  • If anyone's interested, Humble Bundle has a 'Fight for Racial Justice' bundle featuring 49 games and 1 DLC, and 24 books and graphic novels, for $30 (USD).
