I recall them saying they're ripping out Battlelog as a website and putting it into the games (finally) so I assume those icons on the left are to jump to different titles quickly?

Thanks for the comments folks - it was a weird day of reflection, thinking about if I should, or how I would pull down 2 years of work for preservation before they totally rip it all down anyway. Maybe I'll add my reviews back into the site here for user reviews, who knows - I appreciate all the nice supportive messages. I'll definitely be just fine, as I've got a full-time job and a clear career path that I'm absolutely jacked about - but who knows, maybe the PR guys and gals will be nice and still float me a few preview codes or something but I won't count on it. I definitely am no Klepek or Schreier in the lens of ability or reach, but hey, I'll always have my games.

@engineno9: good point and thanks for bringing that up - I just didn't expect the enemies to be uninterruptable while I could be stopped mid-strike. I had seen the disruption tree but was investing in other areas because while I know I read the description and knew what it would do, for some reason it just never seemed that valuable to me. I wanted to pursue other areas and it felt like they tried to pull of what you said by making it a perk or ability to hone, but in the end it felt like a "artistic/mechanic" design that didn't translate well.

Thanks for reading and the comment, much appreciated!!

Wow - seeing nothing but glowing reviews for this. Can't say it struck a huge chord with me initially but it's hard to deny the reviews so far. May have to pick it up if I don't buy more games I don't need in this Steam sale. Thanks Brad, great review!

My vote for best of the best of is Vinny "THAT WAS HORRIFYING"

@danryckert: The song House walked out to is Dvorak Symphony 9 but a specific part from it. Definitely in Looney Tunes at some point but I'd be shocked if John Williams didn't take inspiration from this for Star Wars and Indy.

Bakalar's voice did not match up to the face I imagined at all after many Beastcast listens.

I'LL TAKE A MEDIUM MILLER...that came out...just as planned.

Great show though - went from genuinely fascinating with Spencer to totally off-topic and funny but entertaining the whole time. For a four hour show it flew by.

@ravelle: perfect. If I can hack time (queue the Hasselfhoff) I'm in.

I loved Gwent but sweet jesus do we need more card games? Elder Scrolls, Gwent, Hearthstone, and those are just the big ones. I think we might have to put CCG's on the "Please stop" for GOTY
