Updated. Sorry about that. Thanks, Travis!

And, yes, you do need to finish Transistor.

I didn't know you made a game, Adam! On Google Play... is it Android only? I want to play...

Very nice :)

Still alive, but tired :). I'll post more pics when I can, and update the post at day's end with more impressions. A lot to see, for sure.

Why not? :)

I believe they are. I saw a line for Doom, so I assumed it was playable, but it could only be a closed door preview. I'll find out today. It looked like they were doing the same with Fallout 4.

Apparently I suck at Imgur. I've updated the link, and added more pics.

Doom isn't playable :(. People were standing in line to take pictures with the Revenant statue.

Day 2 was more of the same, but I got to try out Sony's Project Morpheus. Yesterday they were showing tech demoes, but today was an upcoming Morpheus game, called Rigs. It was a 3v3 FPS arena shooter, where the targeting was linked to your head movement. Getting a bead on opponents was tricky, and it took me a minute to fight the urge to move the right thumbstick to aim. This was my first experience with VR, and I have to say, I was impressed. I couldn't keep from smiling almost the entire time, although I was feeling slightly uneasy by after I took off the headgear. Very familiar to the feeling I had playing Super Mario 64 when it released, or the 3DS. It will certainly take some getting used to.

Played more ABZU. I'm going to try to upload some video of that soon, probably in another post. So beautiful.

Played lots of cool student games. A number of indie games. It's so hard to get good pics of from the Indie Megabooth. That place is packed like sardines. Not to mention all the PAX Enforcers yelling at you to "keep the line moving!" I wish they would move that whole section to its own floor.

There was a very small batch of articles like this: http://www.vinereport.com/article/half.life.3.release.date.valve.says.release.date.to.be.announced.next.year/1082.htm

Really just an excuse to post that video ;).

It really feels like a lost treasure, rather than a new game. I got a similar feeling from FEZ, but Shovel Knight has that sweet 8-bit sheen to it. Such good fun!

Daredevil is amazing, and I'm hoping it does well enough for Marvel to continue exploring the darker stories of some of their characters. Definitely has a Marvel Knights feel to it. I almost wish they would label it as such. I could see fans maybe expecting some of that good-natured action and adventure from the Marvel movies or other TV shows, and being more than a little shocked by the graphic content in Daredevil. I'm assuming they plan to continue this type of theme with AKA Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.

"they're going to see Coulson with Hydra."

Even more devastating, Coulson with Ward, which, for everyone else not on Team Coulson, is probably the same thing. I'm really interested to see how this develops, mostly Ward as a character. He's been evolving more into a constant than a wildcard, and that may be something that Coulson grows to rely on as a valid option, rather than a cornered necessity. Meaning, with the way Coulson's team (we need names to designate the different SHIELDs, like Team Coulson or CHIELD or whatever) has been evolving over the past year, I wouldn't be surprised if Ward found his way back on, maybe even with open arms. Especially with whatever is going on with May. May is the new wildcard. Eh, what am I saying, everyone is a wildcard now. The only character that I feel knows exactly who they are and why they do what they do, is Cal Johnson. Maybe Fitz. This isn't entirely a bad thing. I like when characters aren't polar light or dark. When everyone is grey, though, what are you left with? Real life? Well played, Whedon!

One thing I really like the most of The Frenemy of My Enemy, was the way Skye/Daisy (Skaisy?) started to show a little empathy for her dad, and even acted on it. That was a nice growing moment for her character, one that might set her on the path to becoming the future Director of SHIELD! O.o

I have to watch that Skye gunfight again, because that is, as you say, one of the best cinematic action sequences I've seen in a long time. I'm pretty sure my mouth was agape from awe the entire time. I can't remember the last time I actually thought "Okay, how are they doing this." It has to be Steadicam, but so clean!

Now that Simmons has blood on her hands, I can't wait to see what happens to her. I'm just glad she's still alive after what I was sure was going to be her complete undoing. The reprecussions should be interesting.

It was really cool to see the "band back together", even if it wasn't in ideal conditions. Something in me really want to see Ward have a big redemptive moment. It's probably not in the cards, but I'd love to see that happen.

The lead up to Age of Ultron really has me hoping the Agents make a show in the movie. I suppose we'll find out tomorrow! I might not be able to watch the movie until Saturday or Sunday. The suspense is crushing me.

Thoughts on Theta Protocol?

I doubt Hunter would follow Bobbi anywhere at this point, but we'll see. I like the idea of Agent 33 becoming a regular, but I'm sure there is going to be a lot of fallout with Ward basically leaving her high and dry. I'm waiting for that moment when Skye becomes director of SHIELD...

Since I haven't seen Age of Ultron yet, or the new AoS, I'm hoping to glean something from those who have, and have seen tonight's episode: Will watching tonight's episode before the movie spoil much?

Sweet!!! Watching the show now :D

I did watch the show. I would have preferred to watch the movie first, but since I probably won't get to that until this weekend, I just couldn't wait :). It seems like most of the stuff they talked about was generally referenced in the AoU trailers, so I don't feel too bad.

**SPOILERS**

This episode, Scars, had a lot going on, but it felt surprisingly lacking, until the end. The season finale is next week, so I know they have to make some big thing, and then the obligatory cliffhanger, but it felt like there were a few too many shells in the shell game, if you know what I mean. I did like the conflict at the end, with Skaisy's mom making her choice, and ultimately the choice for the Inhumans, to draw the line with humanity. I wonder how long it will be before they take up residence on the moon. I expect, when they do relocate, that will be the last we hear of them (in any major capacity, anyway) until the Inhuman movie. Unless they plan to develop more of the coming characters (e.g. Blackbolt, Medusa, etc) on the show, which is okay by me :).

With Adama dead and Ward kidnapping Bobbi and Cal smuggling party juice in his jacket, shit will hit the fan at SHIELD in a big way, and I have no idea what the team is going to do. Probably completely fall apart, which makes sense given the name of the finale, "S.O.S."

That's because Adama would have gone in that room prepared! ;)

What about that rock that was hidden in the cargo hold of the ship?

Raina: Have you come across this before?
Jiaying: Only through stories passed down by our ancestors.
It's Kree, dangerous, intended to destroy our people.

May: So, this is alien?
Gonzales: Recovered from a dig site nearly a hundred years ago.
Weaver: Its energy signatures are unlike anything we've seen before.


The way that stone morphed around and came back together, makes me think it's not actually Kree, but Skrull. This stone could be a remnant of the Kree-Skrull war. The fact that they emphasize the molecular shifting of the stone, and Weaver's comment, "...unlike anything we've seen before," are pretty much the only thing I'm basing this on. The stories that Jiaying is referring to could have gotten it wrong, no doubt due to the influence of a shape-shifting race. It does make sense, though, that they would start to introduce the Skrull, especially with Civil War right around the corner. Maybe the entire third season will focus on uncovering that race?

Raina told "a" truth. I still agree with everyone else, that shouldn't be trusted. Not yet, at least. I don't buy that a little time and peace with her new gift has dissolved the bitterness she harbored against Skaisy. Until that is resolved, I'd trust her about as much as I trust Ward. Not ruling out redemption, by any means. Just, watch your backs people!

I'm going to try to watch AoU tonight or tomorrow. At the moment, I'm glad it didn't tie in more, because I haven't seen the movie. As soon as that happens, though, I'm sure I'll be disappointed :).

Interesting tease for the finale: https://plus.google.com/+AgentsOfShieldABC/posts/8i2QxgoiVx4

Is anyone else really hating Joss Whedon, or whomever is responsible, after that season finale?!

The good parts of LOST, not the ending ;)

I can't remember if you're joking or not, it's been so long. Stabby Hurley seems like a very memorable thing.

I've only played the one play-through. After you finish, the game encourages you to play multiple times, making different choices, eventually uncovering more of the mystery. So far, though, I've put in about 6 hours, at a fairly steady pace.

Well, now I'll have to see the epilogue!

Coincidentally, Consortium is on sale right now, on the Steam, for $4.49, until April 27.

I just saw the epilogue. Now I have to watch the WHOLE SHOW OVER AGAIN!

Why didn't they include that in the show? It really explains a lot.

Also, the packet of files that comes with the purchase of Consortium contains stuff very similar to the DHARMA tapes. That, mixed with the alternate reality theme and mysterious entities, was the basis of my associating Consortium's experience with LOST. You know, all the extra goodies that kept you on the forums for days at a time, trying out new theories and trying to make sense of it all.

I think I bought it last year, and just started playing it a few weeks ago. In fact, as long as you get to it before December 21st, 2042, I'm sure you'll be okay :). Otherwise you would probably break the game, and possibly reality as we know it.

The PS4 is quite powerful. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was running on that hardware. I doubt that the graphics will be this shiny when the game releases, but if you look at what devs like Ready at Dawn, Ubisoft, and Naughty Dog are doing with the hardware, it won't be that far off. Not to mention, this will be DICE's, what, third game on the system? They should be able to hit the sweet spot.
