    Samaritan (2022)

    I wanted to like it but it's just not very good. The plot is extremely simple, the twist is both obvious and pointless, the action was slow and had no stakes. Want a simple action movie, watch extraction which is 1000% more exciting than this.

    Farthest Frontier

    A lot of good stuff here -> State of Early Access - update 1 So I'm up to tier 3 and some things I've done/worked out with regards to the issues people have been having. 1) gold income. You can make a decent amount of gold income by spamming a bunch of markets around which is also a good idea...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I thought the kugane part of stormblood was good. Helped greatly by the compelling psycho bitch of a villain and also old man samurai. The villain of the ala migho part sucks and that's why that half of the xpac sucks.

    Farthest Frontier

    This game is basically surviving the aftermath. Main issue I'm having is having to go extremely far from home in search of stone. Also have some issue where regularly the clearing tasks to remove shrubs from building sites never get done and so the building doesn't get built.

    The Sandman

    Enjoyable enough show. An interesting story well told I thought. The diner episode was probably my favorite, it was delivering a strong message - telegraphed somewhat by the previous (Lucifer) episode.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    That's why they wasted all of that time after launch implementing that space where you stand around in your suit. Not the city, some other instanced area, I forget what it was called. You could launch missions from there and some other stuff but it was really half arsed/rushed. And they wasted...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I would say it was mostly ruined by management trying to turn it into a microtransaction cash cow. I remember reading a post mortem on Anthem and towards the end there was a lot of management pressure towards creating spaces in the game where players could stand around and see other players so...

    Prey

    Excellent movie, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

    Paper Girls

    This show is fairly watchable IMO, the premise is interesting and it's not too long. I like the tomboy and the adult version of the black chick is well written and portrayed IMO. Kid black girl is annoying as fuck and Asian girl may as well not be in it, she's a blank wall. It very "diverse"...

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

    Was that trailer directed by Zach Snyder? Just a whole bunch of scenes with zero context, have no idea what's happening or what it's about.

    Gold Box Classics

    Awesome games back in the day. Spent a good chunk of the 90s playing through those. Apart from the ravenloft and unlimited adventures I think I owned and finished every game on that list. Amusingly it was a non D&D SSI game (countdown to doomsday) that was the first one I got originally which...

    Single greatest song ever written?

    Something by Led Zeppelin. Maybe black dog, but they have a lot of greats.

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    I can't hate anything that involves Led Zeppelin

    Only Murders in the Building

    Just discovered this show, it's a lot of fun. The cast are excellent and agree it wouldn't work without Martin Short. This last episode with the party game for example was carried by him, I tried to imagine one of the other mains trying to pull of that scene and I don't think it would work. It's...

    Warframe

    Well there are plenty of better guns/melee weaps to get but yeah it's not like there is exponential weapon power growth. But most of the best weapons do require higher mastery ranks and aren't that simple to get. For example the modular ones are amongst the best in every category (or were last...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    If Sauron is evil then Ar-Pharazon is evil too though? Both want to gain dominion over everyone. Both worship morgoth. Ar-Pharazon forcefully married his own cousin against her will so he could become king. Burned alive anyone who challenged why he was worshipping morgoth. The guy was dumb...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I'm sure a 3rd one will do just fine. Last I saw H:FW was still at or near the top of the sales charts for PS5. It definitely hurt it both in sales and in perception being in the dark under Elden Ring's massive shadow but still, in my view HFW is a very good game that iterated well on the...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    What makes you think there's not going to be a continuation? GG have already said there is going to be a 3rd Horizon game continuing the story which already seemed pretty obvious given how HFW ended.

    Titan? Or Venus perhaps?

    Song of Conquest

    The reviews cover it but yeah this is pretty much homm3 with minor differences. I've been enjoying it.

    The Dangers of Gaming with Women

    No, my wife has no interest in video games. I'm not sending her to the kitchen though since I'm the chef of the house. She can do the laundry. The TV series thing definitely happened though and indeed I got in trouble occasionally for watching ahead because I didn't want to wait, but fuck it...

    If you liked Mr Bean you'll like man vs bee, it's just more of the same - classic Rowan Atkinson.

    Diablo Immortal

    I wonder what the repercussions are for the marketing drone who accidently tweeted from the wrong account. That one simple act appears to be likely to cost blizz 10s of millions of dollars or more. People have been disappeared for a hell of a lot less than that.

    The Umbrella Academy

    Thoroughly enjoyed this season even if some sections of it did drag a bit. I actually like how ambiguous a lot of things were at the end. Adding some absolute top shelf eye candy to the cast didn't hurt either.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeah I'm pretty excited about FF7R but I am pretty jealous about people who get that worked up about it. That's what makes those videos fun to watch though, you can feel and even ingest some of their happiness and makes you feel good. It does for me anyway.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Another 70 bucks each time. They are separate games.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think it's more likely that most of the progress won't carry over. Having all of those levelled materia and weapons moving over as the new baseline would be weird. They'd have to raise the weapon level cap/introduce more spheres, which I guess is fine, but they'd also have to introduce a bunch...

    Ms. Marvel

    I agree Kamala is endearing. Her whole family is, both her parents are great and the brother is too. All of the scenes with her family are the most enjoyable to me. The superhero and teen/school drama stuff is dull as fuck but the family keeps it interesting. That scene with her friend trying to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I don't understand the the mentality behind thinking you can't travel if you have kids. I travelled extensively with small children. My son had a passport before he even turned 1 and had been to 5 different countries before his second birthday. It definitely does depend on the kind of travelling...

    No Man's Sky

    I'm working on this new expedition now. Does require being a lot more careful to avoid dying but it's not too hard so far.. The riskiest part of it so far has been collecting eggs, I had one where I popped it and while waiting for the egg to start rolling several of the monstrosities hit me...

    Looking forward to knives out 2, the first one was a lot of fun. Looks like it's got an excellent cast too apart from Mrs Smith.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think people are too fixated on the content of the original game. They could make as many or as few FF7R parts as they want to and still make them all good if they create enough meaningful content to flesh them out. FFXIV is a good example of this. The whole...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    That's just what you want to think because you're Seymour Skinner. If that is the message you get from every game/tv show/movie then you probably need to see a psychologist about your paranoia/anxiety problem. I'll just give you one simple obvious example of how this has always been here. One of...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that companies slowly lose the ability to create fun and creative games after a decade or more of success. Their innovation is slowly strangled out of them by the shareholder demand of infinite growth, which results in extremely conservative decision making...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Funny I'm the opposite. I played HFW first and to me it's the best of it's genre so far. Now I'm working through Elden Ring and I'm strongly feeling the urge to go back and replay HFW since NG+ is out now. Don't get me wrong, Elden Ring is an excellent game and I have definitely enjoyed it so...
