Holy HELL, the clockwork mansion was worth my money.

There are good setpeices and there are great setpeices. Then there are set pieces that just raise the whole damn bar. There's a bizarre practicality behind a mansion that is literally one giant elevator and I am in love. I'd better save some stuff for the review but yeah, it'd take a huge let down of an ending to take the stars out of my eyes now!

Dishonored 2 has something that should become industry standard.

No save sub-menu or anything! Ye gods...


Bethesda's games have been doing this for a while but we finally have a new convert. Another game that has a two step quicksave! Pause, hold down RT, and poof! quicksave. I love that and I love this game... so far. The dialogue is pretty painful. I mean there sure is a lot more telling than showing and it's a little jarring at times. "I should bring up the minutia of Corvo's background!" No you shouldn't, random guard. Not unless you have a point to make and I'm not gonna hold my breath on that one.

Dishonored 2... so far so great.

Since Steam has already turned on the PC version, I was a bit surprised to see it run so well on my rig as it does. Everything stylistically and mechanically you liked about the first has been retained. Spectacularly so. The haggard faces, the Lovecraftian steam-punkyness, best stealth money can buy, it's all still there. The only complaint I have is in the narrative department, it feels kinda rushed and a couple main actors are less than stellar.

Still having a great time choking guys out, though!

A non politically motivated video:


Here's a clip from a movie I love. It has absolutely nothing to do with what the current director of the FBI did today. At all.
