    Shadow of Mordor is absolutely one of those "you have to make your own fun" games

    It lacks guidance?

    The thing with Grand Theft Mordor (and the Batman games it inherited from) is that combat feels more like a rhythm game where keeping up the rhythm results in awesome facesmashing and/or orc-stabbing. But there's not that much depth to it.

    I'm glad I skipped SoM, the hype train seemed undeserved for such a one note game

    Guys sincerely the most bizarre thing happened.

    I got a gift card from comcast the other day for $25. I'll use this to buy Ultra Street Fighter IV I said. I got home from work that night (I called the number and activated it that day) and it was GONE. I turned my apartment over twice. I cleaned off my coffee table, moved everything around, searched under the couch and in between cushions and in all my pockets in my pants, coats and sweatshirts. I looked in my kitchen and my bathroom, I looked in my strong box.

    Two days later I bit the bullet and just bought Ultra anyways for something to do this weekend. I walked to my kitchen to put my dinner plate in the sink, and when I walked back over a saw sitting there in plain view on my coffee table that FUCKING gift card. It wasn't under anything. It wasn't obscured. The bright white activation sticker was still on it, making it impossible to miss.

    What.

    I have no idea where my fucking car keys are and have been using my backup set for like a week now

    I came home from dinner Friday night and definitely had my glasses when I got into my room
    I remember taking them off to take off my makeup

    Woke up the next morning and they were gone?
    Roommate and I cleaned the whole room and have not found them

    Next up: something from Argentina. I've been trying to find somewhere to throw money at for this album, but alas. Seems it was just released in Argentina and some tracks on Myspace.

    I didn't get a fortune cookie. We're going to school in different states.

    no but its very barebones in terms of variety of mission objectives.

    Its a fantastic game and very refreshing in terms of what available but IMO its not a full price game.

    Is this what high school teens are wearing these days? Is it me (because I'm a cranky old) or does the main character look goofy as hell?

    It's weird, but I think the shadows are too detailed. Like, the shadows are the only thing in the piece shaded, so they look weird and out of place.

    Good to know

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    I don't think the shadows look very good. They make everything a lot more busy but they kind of don't make sense with flat images any ways.

    I think it's a bigger problem that there's no clear outline between the characters and the background. Everything looks blurred together.

    Maybe remove the shadows and add outlining to the different characters and shapes?

    Avoid explaining magic at all costs.

    Leave it as vague and undefined as possible, or don't use it at all.

    The Mistborn trilogy was aight, but he's so clearly someone who values tight mechanics behind magic.

    And he couldn't write Matt Cauthon for shit. Sanderson's a big part of why I haven't read the last WoT.

    @AresProphet‌
    have you ever read Jeff Vandermeer's Wonderbook? it is a pretty great resource for f/sf/h/genre writers

    there is an interview with GRRM near the back of the book where you can practically see him shooting eye lasers at people who use "systems" of magic, it's pretty great

    I dunno, then you have the risk of it being, or at least looking like, a lazy plot device.
