Shadow of the Tomb Raider

I find myself regretting my defense of the situation the more you speak...

I just mean that it was agreed to in front of others. Not some official acknowledgment, lol. It's just bad form to welsh, is all I'm saying, and it was publicly agreed to. With all the smack talk, the least we can do is honor our words. I don't think there is a "winner" yet anyway- As WShowers has said.

We do this kinda thing at work all the time, and the threat of being a tad embarrassed is half the fun, and not a bad way to bond.

To be clear, I'm not advocating some authority force things, but I do think it appropriate for the loser to uphold terms. My comment about mods changing avatars was more of a device to illustrate that I think it's important to keep your word.

I agree with that. I just don't want anyone to think that there is some sort of official (i.e., Union admin/mod-level) oversight going on. It's an agreement between two people. They're responsible for how they handle it. It's a private contract. Keep the government out of it, lol.

Why say this now though?

You frequented this thread. You saw the bet take place. You saw wshowers "Witness" the bet. You said nothing. Why didn't you say anything? Because you weren't as emotionally charged at the time and you've somehow attached yourself personally to a Tomb Raider game.

Now, your emotional levels are high so you back the snake.

Mods have always been able to verify bets. Why would this time be any different?

Also, why does wshowers think he has authority on this issue? Because mods always have.

PS:. It's bet, not "bets". I've only taken part in one in all my time here. Hope you aren't overworked dealing with all my "bet" (singular).

I did back out. But I never took it serious to begin with. I just said yes to shut him up.

Here was my final reply:

Doesn't matter to me. You go ahead a pick one. I won't care one way or another if I lose or win anyway

You can see by my responses of yup, sure. I don't care, avatars, I don't care.

Why say it now? Because I didn't expect any of this -- that Hedon wouldn't go along, or that you would then try to get the mods to force Hedon to do what you think he should.

I love how you know so much about what moderators can and can't do. I missed you at the last mod meeting.

As for the rest, that's a bunch of stupid assumptions about me, which I won't bother to refute, because they're stupid.

Avatar changed.

Reason:

#1 - To retain credibility to with Frozpot. He is one of my favorite guys here. I would never want him to think I am not a man of my word.

That is the #1 reason I will carry this until December 31.

#2 - To shut that Fortnite humping, tree hugging, cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, d***less, hopeless, heartless, fat-a**, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey s*** Sunset Unlimited up.

Hedons best post ladies and gentlemen.

I nominate this thread for Unions Thread of the Year 2018.

Good entertainment for a Tuesday. I knew Hedon would succumb, mostly to shut him up.

Except for the fact that it's from Fortnite, I like the avatar, actually. Among all the other gray-black type avatars, it kind of pops. Nice colors. A little girly, but what the hell.

What did Fortnite ever do to you?!

Idk why you're so angry, that avatar is cute as hell and much better than the other one he gave you.

Here! Here!

It's also worth pointing out that the forum is a more interesting place when there are consequences.

This is a stupid bet, but if it's upheld then words mean a little more, which we should all be for.

BTW, I smoked Hedon with Metascore predictions for State of Decay 2, Spiderman, and now Tomb Raider. I'd win 90% of any bet I entered into with him. Easy work.

didnt that tdbloke make some bet with spidey's score?

edit - found it, he kept his word...

my bet was for an 83

Where are the impressions???
I am too early in. I will say that while I do like the opening of the game, the opening of Rise on that snow capped mountain is untouched. It's freaking gorgeous though.

It seems like the lip syncing might be off in Lara, but I will check it again tonight. I played SO LITTLE of it.

Yeah, that was actually one of my big disappointments with Rise, that the opening hour was so amazing and the rest of the game couldn’t live up to it.

Thanks for the first impressions, keep them coming!

Video showing off all the outfits. Terrible, the all suck or are repeats from the last game
 
Don't understand why playstation folks still seems angry for the timed exclusivity of last game? Looking at forums and all that is mentioned is how great spider-man and uncharted are and how bad this game is (most haven't even played it) .. very strange behavior this.
