From my son...

Tonight at bedtime, when I told my son that Release 8 was out and that we could play it tomorrow, my son told me (exact as I can remember it):

"You go on the forum thing and tell them that your 6-year-old said that they should add rock, paper, scissors to Shroud of the Avatar."

 

Awesome! That's really a pretty cool idea!

 

He probably got the idea (at least partially) from us playing Divinity: Original Sin -- that's how you resolve many conflicts with NPCs, and even between party members, you play multiple games of RPS with one side or the other having a slight score lead depending on various factors.

(Actually, come to think of it, D:OS should be *required playing* for the Portalarium devs, from the greenest, newest employee all the way up to LB.)

 

Oh, and he loves Portal 2, and in its multiplayer mode the robots have a rock, paper, scissors gesture.

 

By the by - it's already in the game in emotes.

 

That will make him very happy!

Right now his basic review of SotA is along the lines of pretty-cool-but-not-as-awesome-as-Minecraft. But to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Minecraft is the ultimate honor my son bestows on anything.
