I'd tell Jan to take a step back before Honkai takes over his life. But here I am addicted to Tomb Raider Reloaded and Mighty Doom so what do I know?

in regards to that last thing from the emails. I didn't see the tweet so I dunno the exact reference, but that sounds alot like a bit from 'American Dad'.

Steve(the high school age son) is in health class and the teacher asks for anonymous sex questions. And the joke is that she recognizes his handwriting and calls it out and its a question about if the vagina is like a vacuum that sucks you up into it, something along those lines. Also that show gets slept on alot by people who like similar shows, just because they dislike McFarlane, but he had almost nothing to do with the writing of the show, its very funny and up there with 'Archer' and 'Bobs Burgers' for best current grown up animation.

lol Tam, there is no world where anyone should even think about recommending Kabaneri to anyone they might consider a friend. Maybe recommend the first three episodes or so, but along with Aldnoah Zero, that show solidified in my mind that there is nothing in this world that is safe from turning into a flaming trash heap regardless of how beautifully it starts.

I know it sounds like most of you have moved off of Redfall and it seems to be forever tainted now but you should really give Dev a try. It was clear to me from the beginning that really only two of these characters are good for solo play, Dev and the girl with the psychic boyfriend. The other girl seems like she's only good for co-op and the other guy seems to be a straightforward shooter type person, like choosing the soldier in Mass Effect (and you know if you chose that you goofed up).

Anyway, Dev is great. You will use his abilities often. He can teleport which makes engagements a lot more fun. You can TP up on to roofs and stealthily take out enemies and then TP to the ground behind enemies and take them out from behind there. It feels like that Arcane touch you want is with Dev.
His other abilities are cool too, he can throw an electrical stake into people! And his "ultimate" is some pulsing UV light, which admittedly I don't use often but is useful as it blinds humans and petrifies vampires.

So if there is anyone out there who hasn't been chased off already play as Dev when you play. 👍
