I'm a few episodes into Gotham s4. Season 3 lacked direction, but it had some cool moments. The most pleasant surprise in general has been Victor Zsasz, a character to whom I was largely indifferent prior to seeing him depicted here.

A few days ago, the PotD was about cybernetics. I was going to broach the subject here as a result, but I didn't want to rush the last top to its end. If higher-end cybernetics were widely available, would you want them? Would you replace only damaged body parts or would you also be willing to upgrade completely healthy body parts? Are there any parts you'd want to replace? Anything you wouldn't be willing to touch?

I was kind of a cyberpunk fan for a while myself so the general concept interested me. Of course, in many games -- including Shadowrun -- there are always limits placed on how much you can upgrade. Usually they never let you extensively upgrade, let alone get to the level of a nearly-full prosthetic body (a la Motoko Kusanagi). While certain adjustments seemed appealing back then, the fact that so much is hackable means that I'm not sure I could ever trust cybernetics. After all, even implanted devices like pacemakers are prone to hacking nowadays. (While I suppose in theory so long as a device isn't connected to anything, it *should* be a lot harder to somehow hack, I'm not sure any of that shit will feel safe. Ditto for smart cars, since scifi has ruined them for me.)

Opening Question: What game do you regret not finishing?? (As the world may be ending it may be time to reflect upon our past.)

There's stuff I still want to finish at some point -- and a lot of stuff I want to begin -- but I'm not sure any of it is to the point of regret. There's a lot of shit I regret not buying, though, like the Marvel arcade games when they were on psn (the beat-em-ups and fighters; I only bought MvC2... and stupidly didn't get it via Gamestop first so I'd have the case) and the Scott Pilgrim game, all of which aren't available now.

No matter how many times I tried to start and then finish Magna Carta on PS2, I grew to hate the game and stop playing it right around the same boss fight every single time.

I really liked Magna Carta, but I... no, wait, I think I'm thinking of something else whose name sounds familiar. The one I'm thinking of is a RPG that kinda has CCG aspects.
