    Meanwhile, Winnie the Pooh, from his golden throne begotten of a 92 year reign, looks down capriciously upon all these upstarts that have rejuvenated themselves but the once. He steeples his honeyed fingers and his eyes narrow.

    A battle royale where 100 players have to make it through a horribly difficult gauntlet and can only survive by helping each other overcome obstacles and complete multi-person tasks. Your score at the end of any game is how many people made it all the way through. There are no guns.

    I swear this was a mode in Garry's Mod back in the day

    I will say I love running and path finding in Apex a lot so I would 100% be into a game where the gear was all about allowing you to traverse more easily and the challenge was to get to steadily more difficult parts of the map.

    Like speed boosts instead of armor, guns that shoot climbing rope... it would be neat!

    Wait wait, give the Tribes IP to respawn, merge Titanfall and Tribes. Wallrunning, skiing, spinfusor shooting, titan dropping, flag capping tribes warriors.
    You'd need good map design to make these work together, but I think it could be done.

    when will disney impose on us a reality where all media are simply pastiches of previous works, each only to exist to reference and glorify and rehash the works of previous generations

    I dunno about them needing to impose it. Box office results indicate we'd welcome it.

    I mean, at one point in time Pirates of the Caribbean was (and I guess, still is in a way) an insane idea that the head of Disney wanted to kill throughout. And yet, here we are in the current day and age, and it's been turned into a franchise and milked for all it's worth and now dead and gone.

    Sure, Disney execs follow the money, but Disney execs have limited experiences like the rest of us. And if previous entries in the "rehash our old properties for a new audience" strategy is working, why stop? Why try out a story which hasn't been done before? Why not have our bets be (seemingly) very, very safe and do absolutely nothing else? Why not impose the current sense of nostalgia onto the next generation? And the next! And the next…

    Rereleases and remasters won't capture new markets as well as hit new IPs, is probably the main motivating factor. Is Blizzard going to make a bunch of money from the Warcraft III remaster? Probably. Is it going to make as much as Overwatch? No way in hell.

    Like, are those really comparable? Activision-Blizzard, even if they're huge, isn't the behemoth that Disney is in cinema. Like, even at Nintendo, the kings of Video Game Nostalgia with their crossover platform brawler, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, tried to offer a new story in it. And that's not mentioning that Mario and Zelda, two of the biggest nostalgic names in the industry, have tried radically experimenting lately.

    I think this would be more of a comparable if Square-Enix ruled the world. :razz:

    I feel like you made that trope's name worse than just saying "negro"
    Because "N-word" is always going to be associated with the other one.

    I liked both of those games and I'd love another one, though the side stuff in 2 was kinda bleh

    Honestly, though, I think it would be better to have a game with similar traversal mechanics but in third person

    I realize the genie in the original cartoon was blue but why not just make him a non super cgi-ed genie?

    They've already taken some liberties on the original anyways. Cave is a cave wall instead of cave from nowhere, no jasmine belly, jafar really kind of meh about maybe being an evil guy

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    I wish more games went for granular, challenging traversal instead of superhero traversal (which is basically Assassin's Creed too) or Uncharted-style basics

    3d platforming is still very hard to do, though, I guess

    I periodically see people posting that Warrior Male account on twitter and I was like oh I should follow that for chuckles

    It’s just this wall to wall thing of other accounts asking him/her/them “what do you think of ___” and it’s some anime character or another

    I honestly don’t hate anime at all but much like tvtropes pages, stuff like this makes me feel like maybe I do and I’m not sure why I find it so irritating in its voluminous excess from anime people

    Maybe I an unfollowing warrior male

    Realtalk I invested in a set of CDJs so I can play gigs hosted by the kind of folks who don't respect Traktor and controllers

    Being able to roll up with just a flash drive and play a no-frills set, without and of the fancy looping and effects that I'm accustomed to, will be good encouragement to work on the fundamentals at the very least.

    my poor D&D party is walking wounded, one losing an arm, one a foot, one a leg, one a pinky

    Notes:
    - Shoulder charging a sphere of annihilation is a bad idea
    - Attempting to catch a sphere of annihilation is a bad idea
    - Sitting down on the ground and pouting while a sphere of annihilation is lancing in and out of the floor and ceiling is a bad idea
    - Touching a sphere of annihilation is a bad idea

    It think the party is suitable informed about the dangers of a sphere of annihilation, as they gave up attempting to interact with it or control it and left the area. Now the gang of handicapable friends has to fight a fucking invisible beholder on a Grease covered floor while a giant magnet sucks all their weapons away
