    The Witness

    Yeah, I definitely agree that it is over-indulgent. I just didn't mind it. I think we've had a distinct lack of pretentiousness in good games for awhile, so a big dose didn't bother me.

    The Witness

    I'm going to steal an analogy that I've seen in several reviews/video commentaries on the game. Describing The Witness as just about line puzzles would be like describing Mario as a game just about jumping. It's a concept that the game establishes in its most basic form, and then explores it...

    The Witness

    I love watching people on Twitch reach the music challenge for the first time, and watch their reactions as they learn its various twists on the rules. The levels of cursing increase exponentially the further they get. Plus the music is perfectly paired with the level of panic near the end.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    WoD beta was going strong when I got it in July of 2014 and Talador/Spires/Nagrand weren't open. I'm not even sure you could level to 100 yet. Got the Alpha email today too, so much be another wave of invites.

    The Witness

    So I have sunk a good amount of time after work in this game since Tuesday, and frankly I haven't been this impressed with a game in a long time. Currently around 320ish puzzles solved (out of almost 700 according to Dev). Is $40 a bit too pricey? Yes and no. I thought it was when I bought...

    Making a Murderer (Netflix) - New info

    Can people please stop bringing up the 36 million dollar lawsuit as motive for the county and agencies involved to frame Avery? Just because someone claims an amount doesn't mean they will be awarded that much, or anywhere close to it. Any lawyers involved would know that immediately, and most...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    I was watching his Twitch stream last week. He was playing through Portal for the second time and he starts talking about narrative structure and how a game like Portal, with its puzzles and plot reveals, loses quite a bit after the first play through. He then immediately starts explaining...

    Easy there Trigger, i was just making a comment about how the shot felt a bit out of place, and that I wasn't the only one.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I'm glad that Half In The Bag review mentioned it, but that final camera shot from a helicopter was jarring. It was almost anachronistic in a way in that it obviously taken from a helicopter...which don't exist in this fictional universe. Not really a gripe, just seems like an odd editing...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yeah this is the version I saw it in at the Indiana State Museum. It has a true 70mm film projection copy. Most modern IMAX screens are a bit smaller and use digital projection. Id be surprised if you could find a digital IMAX theater that wasn't showing it in 3D. The desert chase MF scene...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Those of you saying this was better than Jedi must really really hate the Ewoks! Its a good movie, nowhere near a great one...it's not even the best reboot of the year. A solid 6 or 7 for me, with hope that the next two are far far less derivative than this one was. The new characters are...

    The Nice Guys (2016)

    Oh I know they chose IM3 because it reached a much wider audience (and KKBB isn't nearly as recent either), but its still a bit incongruous with the style of this movie. Not really trying to make a big deal about it, just the one part of the trailer that made me do a double-take.

    The Nice Guys (2016)

    Looks great. The only problem with the trailer is the part that says "from the director of Iron Man 3" instead of "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Rian Johnson is directing episode 8, who most know probably from Looper, but he also directed three of the absolute best episodes of Breaking Bad including Ozymandius. I'm excited to see what he will do with the middle episode of the trilogy, which is usually the darkest emotionally. That is...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'd say a solid 7 or 8. Nothing crazy for raids...boring boring structure still seems to be in place there. Everything else seems to be promising though, and I was happy to see the return of zone storylines flowing into the zone dungeons again.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They gave a similar date for WoD...on or before the last day of Fall 2014 (12-21-14 iirc). So we're looking at Summer 2016 if it follows a similar pattern...which is way too fucking long. I just can't see them having HFC last more than a year, so either that date is just super conservative or...

    Yeah but that's also like 9pm in Korea, so really they started them at about the best time possible globally.

    So far Worlds has been pretty much a snooze compared to TI5. With the way SKT is playing I don't see much chance of that changing in the finals.

    That was season 5. Pretty sure that was Troy's last episode.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Nah, the article title is just clickbait. Hamil, JJ, Jason Lee, and Stan Lee were on an episode of Dinner for 5 hosted by Kevin Smith. Hamil was telling a story about how he was guessing, after episode 2, that Lucas would have Luke turn to the darkside and then bring him back in episode 3...
