I think Dad won't disappear right at the beginning...during CES, Ryder was still "Recon Specialist" (title you have while working under Rydad)instead of Pathfinder and he was like level 27 I'd guess that they were at level 27 for demo purposes, but I do hope that Alec does hang around for awhile and that we can have both siblings and the dad all interacting with each other at the same time.

Nah, it'll turn out that Liam lied about his history as a cop and he was just an anime nerd who joined up with the Andromeda Initiative on the recommendation of someone in his favorite chatroom (it'll turn out to have been from one of the Ryder siblings).
But, to be serious, maybe Liam had it pretty easy as a cop and didn't feel he was needed on the force. Or he'll just be a cowboy cop like Garrus, and his superiors found this to be detrimental and just kicked him off.

Started up a second rookie playthrough and ended up getting the DLC, and since it's a campaign in progress the Viper King showed up and killed off my specialist and a rookie in a retaliation mission. By about the third encounter the King is dead to my medic specialist using the bow, having the frost bomb helped, so I figure that killing him off will lead to a short break from the rulers...boy was I Wrong! Berserker Queen makes her first appearance in the very next mission, probably would've killed off my A-team too.
Also made my first Spark unit, it couldn't hit anybody for awhile but it was pretty lucky since most shots missed him.

Wow, I only have one platinum. I think it's Gran Turismo 6. I guess I'm one of those casual players.
I don't know anything about PS systems....how are platinum trophies different from regular game achievements?
It just means you got all the other trophies/achievements in the game.

Been playing XCOM 2 lately, it's been really fun, but I had to save scum to save some of the veteran characters I liked (they encountered alien pods on accident). I also used the character pool to bring back my 2 hero characters from XCOM: Enemy Within, Ping Zhang and Daisuke Shimizu, and Ping got her nickname of Baroness again!

I'm pretty hyped for this game and signed up for the Beta, which I guess they'll be having next month.

Saw the movie earlier today, and I thought it was fine. My mom and aunt came along too. Aunt thought it was good, but she seems to always say that about movies. My mom thought it was fine too, but she felt it was somewhat hard to follow but she did piece it together during the movie and after asking a few questions.
Funnily enough, I liked Sophia (Marion Cotillard's character) and was rooting for her to not get killed off. I wish there were more scenes in 1492 Spain.
I still think that the robo-arm is goofy.

I voted to keep the same protagonist. Although I'm not averse to have a new hero per game, so long as we can be an alien.

Those helmets aren't small, but they're not huge either. Where does this great hair we keep hearing about go when it's on? Under the astronaut hood they have on while wearing their helmets, but Liam will have customized his helmet to match his Hammer-Pompadour hairstyle.

Hitman has been the game I've played the most this year, so, Hitman is my game of the year.
I'd say XCOM 2 is the runner-up, but I've only tried it out a little and hope to buy it sometime soon.

Favorite: Batarians (the jerks of the Galaxy), Volus (I like their suit design), Krogan (mercenary turtles).
Least Favorite: Asari (they hid that beacon from everyone just to have a technological edge, what a bunch of a-holes).

Nope, nobody knows if we'll have quarians. Personally, I hope that any quarians that might've joined up with the Andromeda Initiative were all replaced by Geth hoppers (which will be our explanation for what happened to those bozos after ME 1).

Did the Holiday Hoarders mission in Hitman. I'm a little disappointed that it happens during the Paris Fashion Show, I was hoping they'd turn it into a charity event at the building and not just be the fashion show at night with some Christmas decorations.
I do like that the 2 targets are moving around and stealing things, that there are presents for 47, Santa is teleporting around the building, and that if you perform accident kills while dressed as Santa 47 will say ho ho ho. I also found out that poison doesn't count against you for the Silent Assassin rating, but you have to wait for the game to register it as an unnoticed kill, which makes Bangkok and Marrakesh that much easier to do.

I thought Krem only mentioned that the Tevinter military just had sex-segregated units, and nothing about women not being able to only go so far in the military.
About Jien, why would her being trans(if she even is) be the only thing she talks about? Wouldn't exploration, finding and making a new home in Andromeda, why she even had the idea for the Andromeda Initiative, and putting out her opinions on the Andromeda natives and the outcasts be her things to speak about? Besides, if Jien is trans, it'd probably be a throwaway thing like it seemed to be with Krem.

Some more Alec Ryder Facts; He has broken the number one rule on Omega... twice His nickname in the Alliance is "Hercules", because he makes Cerberus his b***h. N7 is the lowest unit of measurement capable of registering the badass that is Alec Ryder. The Thanix Cannon was tested by trying to see if it could cut his manly beard. It failed. He is the only human capable of driving the Mako properly. His guns never needed cooling down and have never run out of thermal clips. The reason Batarians evolved four eyes. They still never spot him until it's too late.
I really hope he does end up becoming a memetic badass in the game. You forgot the most important fact of all: Alec Ryder never wanted to be a mean guy, he just wanted to be a fashion model.

I did a Silent Assassin, Suit Only run in Marrakesh, and Colorado. Wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be. I'd already had a plan for sneaking in the embassy to do an accident kill on Claus, and my plan for getting Reza didn't go through (wanted to use emetic poison and drown him), so I ended up sneaking onto the second floor and using a coin to move him out of sight and then fiber wire to strangle and then drag him into a locker.
For Colorado I decided on sneaking through the explosives testing area, and making my way to the barn, pacified 5 guards, and then used fiber wire on Maya. Next I went to the outside perimeter, and got into the house where the other 3 targets usually go to during their routines (Get Penelope in the foyer, Ezra in the Basement, and Sean Rose in his bathroom), Pacified 2 hackers and 1 guard upstairs so that I could drag Sean Rose's body to the face scanner. Now I just need to figure out a way to get Ken Morgan alone for my silent assassin, suit only run in Bangkok.

I did like Assassin's Creed, but I stopped at Brotherhood(I got a little sick of Ezio hogging the protagonist seat, and Desmond was just a boring guy to me). Funnily enough I really liked Altair, mainly because of the discussions he has with Al Mualim, and I actually liked the little motive speechs that the templar leaders had and sorely missed that from 2 and Brotherhood.
I'll probably end up seeing the movie, but I think it's pretty goofy that the Animus goes from a thing you lay on into that robo-arm (is that a thing in the AC games I missed?).

Alec's eyes always look weird to me, and so does his stubble.
I do hope that he only goes Missing, and that he'll help us along the way as a guest star party member here and there mainly because I want my Ryder to interact with him.

How is that game? I've been a big fan of the hitman games, when you could skillfully and carefully eliminate the targets. The last one was good, but it wasn't great (imho). Is this new episodic one better? I've been enjoying it, I feel likes it's a nice return to how it was in Blood Money with some things kept from Absolution (Fiber Wire going strait into a dragging animation, Instinct is here but now used more for seeing where nearby NPCs are), I also like the change of only a few people being able to see through a disguise. I'd say it's a good buy, and is overall better than Absolution.

Played more Hitman (2016). Beat, but Hated doing the escalation missions in Colorado and Hokkaido. Also did a Silent Assassin Suit Only run in Hokkaido. Did most of the assassinations in Hokkaido, and boy does one of the targets get it rough.
