@gatsbythepig: Yeah, I love all these movies and how they address the same ideas in different ways. Primer hits on a great idea -- the time travel double -- that gets skipped over a lot. I love that the tragedy of 12 Monkeys is less that people don't get time travel and more that they all think they're smarter than they are, and then you've got Cole, who's stuck dealing with it. Marty is still an incredible character and the movie is better because he basically never has any idea what he's doing up until the second before he does it. Terminator 1 rips and the franchise is often great even when it gets so confused by its own ideas that it loses the plot - I still think Genisys had interesting potential to reboot the whole thing.

But yeah, a recurring theme throughout the genre is people getting into serious trouble because they didn't stop to think things all the way through, or they didn't realize they were seeing clues about the future as they were approaching it. So it's nice to have a couple guys just knock it out of the park in a hilarious and simple way.

@mogan: Sorry, but yeah IMO. Marty is a great improviser but he never really "gets" time travel -- he lets Doc do the part about understanding the time travel, and when he has to understand it on his own, he kinda blows it. Bill and Ted fundamentally understand time travel in key abstract ways that basically give them hilarious superpowers.

@id0ntkn0w7: I believe I said it was a "screaming" baby. But we're not being too serious about this :)

@gamerbum: Can't recommend co-op enough, especially because you play the worlds of whoever is hosting, so you get pretty different experiences just by working through each other's campaigns. I think a lot of people bouncing off Remnant 2 do so because they play alone rather than co-op -- for me, co-op was the entry point, where we got to see cool fights but we didn't get completely stomped, and it kept making me want to go back and find what else was out there either together or alone.

@mogan: I'm not really expecting any story either, but I'm hopeful. VoG is such a weird location with so much lore attached to it, and it'd be cool for it to feel like it actually matters. But yeah, that's my expectation too -- just "hey remember Oryx? No? Yeah well kill him anyway."

@DougSwan: Haha, that is a lot of runs. I like raids just for themselves, but I really enjoy the feeling of accomplishment for knocking down seals in general. Mostly though, I remember what it was like being a person who didn't have a standing team to do raids with, when putting together runs was really tough, and it sucks that being that kind of player feels penalized.

@afromakka: If people would read it, I'd be down for Bloodborne for sure. Reading about that game's lore is what got me to commit to finishing it after bouncing off a bunch of times, and now it's one of my favorite games ever.

Dark Souls, well, even now I'm not sure I understand those games.
