I hadn't considered Robin 2 since there is a Red Hood DLC pack, which would lead you to believe he is a separate character. Also, I don't think any of the previous games have acknowledged his existence, so it would be weird to bring him in now

I'll spoiler since even though it was so easy to figure out

I thought it was very dumb that they just threw him in without much back story or mention in any of the other games...

Just skip that star, go for the scare crow stars as suggested by Tyler. It can almost give you 9 stars on regular challenges to skip. I am going to two star the rest and move on, when I'm done I'll find a couple I can 3 star till I hit 69. Was shocked my friend did it so fast, but then realized he did complete the scarecrow trophy already for the DLC

I want to 3 star everything because I think the challenges are fun. I'm indifferent about the trophy.

So I finally got fed up that my HP Touchpad was far enough out of date that youtube and other websites were working rather spotty on it that I decided to install Android on it. Since I last looked up how to do it a year or so ago they have developed new tools that make it a lot easier. So if you have a Touchpad lying around from when they were super cheap on closeout here's how to convert it to an Android tablet (with option to make it dual boot if you still want access to WebOs). It takes like 25 minutes and is a nearly fully automated process now

I find it crazy people still rock these, maybe just because I moved on a long long time ago. It's so bulky now by today's standards. Once you go android you won't need to go back. I rocked Android on mine for awhile before selling it and getting something better. The Android experience on it was great though. Crazy how they keep updating this thing.

Same, did Android on the first build they made for it, then sold it a year after purchase with dual boot ability for $250... LOVED THAT PROFIT

Reading this makes me happy that I've trained myself to skip over every post that's Batman related. After the spoiler I saw today I might just take a vacation from my computer all together until I'm done with the story.

It really wasn't that big of a deal, they could have gone so far outside the box and instead pretty much did a story somewhat already told with a slight variation. I wanted something completely out side the box.

Not to mention the fact they put out the notice about the
Red Hood preorder DLC
months ahead of time. Though even in the
movie that covered that similar arc they didn't make the twist an integral part of the story as it was revealed pretty early.

Batman

The best thing about the death of Jason Todd was that comics fans actually called a hotline to vote whether he should "die". They overwhelmingly said yes.

At least Red Hood is back in the Bat family again after New 52.
 
im not answering this poll because i love summer so much. it's way too short as it is. I wish it was like 6/6 months, but it seems like its 8 months winter and 4 months summer (if that). i can't imagine living somewhere colder than here. It is a nice cool breeze here now and im just chilln.

Other than the outdated software, the tablets still runs fine and the screen is nice. It does have some heft to it though. I mainly have just kept it next to my PS3 and used it for trophy guides or youtube video's for collectables as it doesn't have much other functionality. Ya, the latest version of the custom Android build that I installed was released 4 days ago.

I was having this conversation with munky, nice to see that I was right. I don't follow batman comics or lore at all, so I had no idea who that guy was. It was weird that they never really introduced him before now, made the reveal super anti-climactic to those unfamiliar with the comics and super obvious for those who were familiar.

For me it was like, "The bad guy is that dude you met for the first time 2 hours ago! Don't you hate him so much!?!?!"

Red Goddess: Inner World coming tomorrow:

Mostly not gameplay, but there is gameplay later in that video. Looks familiar.

I think there is slightly different gameplay footage from the trailer in this other video from their website.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=KbxdpCviKDA

I thought it looked like it was influenced by Guacamelee and their site lists that, SuperMetroid, and Dust as inspirations. If it is as good as the worst one in that list it would be an accomplishment.

My point exactly, it only meant something to comic fans, and if you were a true comic fan it was made obvious. Then for non-comic
you get introduced to him the story right before the reveal

The only cool surprise from the game and why I still loved the overall story was
Joker's involvement throughout the whole game. Never have I loved the character more than allowing him to be your conscious. brilliant to who ever wrote that, BOO to the guy that decided the Arkham Knights back story

 
More batman Stuff.

Joker drove me nuts, I actually didn't really like his involvement at all. And then you beat Arkham Knight for the 1st (well really like the third time) and take off his mask and it's just Joker. I don't really like hallucination stories in movies or games, just feels like a waste of my time if it's not really happening.

They just can't make a Batman game without the fucking Joker in it, can they?

Which is probably the reason they did it that way when they decided on the character's identity.

Those big into the comics were going to figure out anyway, but if they had
opened the game with a flashback to the "death" of Jason Todd
even people not familiar with the comics would have been able to extrapolate the identity based on past experience with the plot structure of movies and games with twist endings.

A good, alternative narrative on the character is the excellent
movie Batman: Under the Red Hood, it's in my top 2 of the animated Batman movies

It's for my house because the ventilation there also sucks ass, especially on the top floor. I don't have a window in my office so I couldn't use that thing at work anyway.

the real key was introduce the character from the beginning, have mention in Arkham asylum and City,
Especially with the Al Ghul story line in City and since Todd's resurrection is highly tied into the lazarus pit

As for where Rocksteady is going next, any one feel like a justice league/superman game might be next? All the Easter eggs in BAK make me think so. Especially when we consider that each game has had an Easter egg related to the next game

Well I guess I'm fully spoiled now, so I'll comment.
If Jason Todd is the route they wanted to go they really should have had the foresight to acknowledge him in the past games. With the Joker playing so heavily into each of them you figure they could have had him mention "Hey remember that time I killed Robin?" Killing him off during Origins would have been perfect, IMO. I was thinking/hoping that it would turn out to be Hush since there were side missions in Arkham City involving him. Also, Under the Red Hood is a great movie. Not sure if it is on Netflix anymore, but people should check it out.. although you all now know the twist so it likely won't be as entertaining.

They'd have to do something really different to make Superman at all interesting. Same with JL.

Yeah I have one just like it (different brand). Well my parents do.

My parents house hasn't had working A/C since I was in high school and with Texas heat it becomes unbearable. So those portable A/Cs definitely help a lot. Too bad the circulation of cool air is kind of bad since out living room ceiling is like 18 feet high.

 
We are looking for a new, large window air conditioner. One we keep in permanently (I don't want to be installing/removing a big air conditioner every year). The problem we have is Lowes won't put in wood filler. They'll just put it in with that plastic accordion nonsense that provides no insulation. When we got the old one we have they did that for us. Now what? I'm not a handy sort of person myself.

I would much rather all women wear yoga pants than none at all. I can easily keep my eyes averted from what I dont want to see. Also yoga pants can make a good ass look phenomenal and a okay ass look really good.

Not sure how much it'll help with both if you plan on only getting one unit. Those things could only reach so far unless you are using it in conjunction with your A/C.

I had to buy my parents two additional mini units that attach horizontally to your windows to even make the place bearable. Luckily I don't live there anymore so I don't have wake thinking I pissed my bed from all the sweat. My room didn't have a unit and was far away from the ones in the house.

That's a box I'm not sure you want to open.

I've seen some ladies that should never ever touch yoga pants and I just can't erase that image from my mind.

I would get one unit for each, and probably still use it in conjunction with A/C as well. I'd just get one to start but if it worked well for me I'd get a 2nd one.

Sleeping in the heat is like torture to me, I can't believe you were able to do it. I dragged a spare twin mattress down to the basement last night because I just couldn't get my bedroom cool enough for me to tolerate it.

I don't know how much y'all are looking to spend, but mini-splits are quieter and more efficient than portable or window A/C units. The cost up front is higher, but your paying for something that will save you money in your power bill and last alot longer. Info:

There are plenty of disgusting people already wearing clothes they shouldnt be in so I am okay with deverting when I need to. More women in yoga pants the better I say. Of course I know we also have more women in shape down here than most places. But still.

I think those are the things I always see at my Costco when I'm walking out. I don't really get what they are and how they work. Maybe I should call and see if I can get a free estimate.
