Don't know what it means but I like the sound of panophobia.

I have a hunch why.

TIL there is quite a big difference between the Greek and Finnish translations for “Pano” in fact the Greek should be Pan or Panto for the true meaning for the phobia.

Do I file this here, under Legos, or under Around the NHL?

E3 leak

 

[Felonious Python]

The first E3 press conference finished today with EA's offering.

Awful showing. Of all the games they showed, only like one game sort of intrigued me, but I still thought the trailer was boring (Sea of Solitude).

Anthem was their big game they showed off and it reminds me heavily of Destiny, which no one really cares about anymore. EA are saying they're against loot boxes now (it only took some legislation), so that's a positive.

edit: Xbox went today (6/10). Great show by them. Xbox One never really found it's footing after the bad start, (and they've alluded to the next system already, so probably expect that reveal next E3). Halo Infinite and Gears 5 were in there as the big boys, although both IPs prestige has been falling over recent releases.

What will probably be the biggest thing is they announced buying 5 new studios, including Ninja Theory. If they worry about AA-level games, at appropriate budgets, to supplement their massive AAA "live service" type games, then that next console could be one to be reckoned with.

Dark Souls and Bloodbourne developer, From Software also announced a new multi-platform IP (PC, PS4, Xbone) called Sekiro, scheduled for 2019.

Cyberpunk 2077 (Xbone & PC) also looks like one to watch. It's from The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red.

Mario Kart should have never went down the karts having different stats route.

It will be a few years away but I can already start planning on getting rid of my social life.

legally, the only E3 conference you have to watch.

So not an impressive E3?

Since you guys are talking video games. Has anyone shown any interest in the FF VII remake? Looks really good.

Also, did they yet to include Cat Bowser in Mario Kart?

Most companies have yet to have their conferences. Xbox did okay. Bethesda had a pretty good show. Devolver Digital killed it again.

edit: I didn't realize this until I saw it on twitter, but the announcer at the beginning of this video is Wes Johnson, PA announcer for the Washington Caps and Elder Scrolls & Fallout series voice actor.

I don't have a lot of faith in the FFVII remake. It seems way too ambitious, and we're nearing the end of this console generation, so they pretty much have to kick it to PS5.

Rumor has it Daenerys Targaryen will serve as the game's primary antagonist against the returning Dovahkiin due to his slaying nature of her children. It's also rumored she could be sleeping with him by the end of the game.

Elder Scrolls (and Fallout for that matter) are all about the side quests, IMO.

Funny story. It never occurred to me that I could kill Astrid in the abandoned shack during my first play through.

The payment for that is ridiculously low compared to the 20k you get for killing the Emperor though.

Are twitter embeds oddly collapsed / squeezed together for anybody else? If it's a picture tweet I only see the upper half of the pic and no text at all. Annoying.

 

[Hoek]

Yep happens to me too. Also I keep getting logged out wtf.
