    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Inquisition definitely is. It has a solid overarching plot that is accompanied by decent episodic content. I played Andromeda because I'm a Mass Effect devotee, but it's just painful. The start is clunky as fuck and while it gets to a steady state of adventure after awhile the overall mix of...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Fair point. It is good for FPSes as that is what it was designed for, so I'll amend my statement: EA needs to give up trying to shoe Frostbite into types of games it was never designed to support. You just know some MBA little twat looked at the development costs for Frostbite and the...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    EA needs to just give it up with the goddamn Frostbite engine. You tried to play with the big boys and you failed. Suck it up and throw whatever tithe is necessary to Epic and get on with life.

    You need to make the switch. The interface is more fluid and there are so many more things you can do in Foundry and the add-ons and system rules that people create take it to a whole new level. If you are unwilling to run a server yourself, home machine or otherwise, then The Forge is a very...

    For All Mankind

    That's a very compelling idea. Since the USSR is still very much around in this alt-timeline it might make sense to have that occur. Plus it gives us extra reasons to explore Margot in a USSR-based plot thread.

    For All Mankind

    Yeah it was absolutely an OKC analogy. It helps their overall alt-narrrative to keep some 'fixed points' to help explain why some pop cultural references exist.

    For All Mankind

    Joel Kinnaman is gonna look like 'old man Steve Rogers' from Endgame in every episode at this rate. He fought in the Korean conflict long enough to pick up the language so he must have been at least 20 by 1953 so he'll be in his 70s in season 4.

    I've also taken some extreme liberties with the setting. The people that currently have the EarthDawn license used the system as a basis for a spinoff called '1879' which is basically Shadowrun but steampunk. I regard most of what they did officially as crap but their core premise had promise...

    The Sandman

    So Netflix done fucked up.... They sponsor Trixie Mattel and Katya (a couple of drag queens) to do reaction videos to various Netflix shows and movies in a YouTube show called 'We Like to Watch' and the latest episode went up yesterday for Sandman. Towards the end of the episode, however...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I'm still, to this day, annoyed that Dragon Age didn't really pick up the ball from where Origins ended. I thought the different character options and all the potential there was just so damn fun, especially as they chose to revisit the traditional 'fantasy' races but with all sorts of twists...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    I think the first few maps seem so easy because we've been down this road before and these are mostly just tutorials. Fuck Spiffinmoore. I have like 5 offices for "Pastoral Care" with a line of PTSD patients out the door at each one thanks to all the lightning / meteor storms.

    For All Mankind

    I bet the Korean guy ends up being a main character in season 4. I suspect after the 'wait we lose our stock options??' moment in the last episode we also see a very different Helios.

    God damnit. Just when I was ready to pull the plug on this bitch... That was absolutely true and what we see on the newspaper at the end is fitting. Unlike the previous two season the timejump this time leaves us pretty much in the dark about the state of things in space as we see Good...

    The Sandman

    For Constantine they just wanted to emphasize that this was a different Constantine than had appeared in movies / Arrowverse / animated films etc. There has been a lot of him around the last few years and Gaiman wanted to twist things up just a bit.

    The Sandman

    Remember that this was still part of the DC universe at this point. Vertigo was not yet a dedicated imprint for the various horror/weird comics. Anti-life being the very thing that Darkseid has been seeking forever. "Hope" wins because that's the one thing that Lucifer still holds onto. Same...

    The North Korea twist had me going 'uhhh what?' I mean it works for twist-centric television but it seems more than a little unhinged.

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    I have to agree. Amazon is definitely our preferred 'rental' or purchase of digital content venue. It's not likely to go away and we already buy so much stuff there anyway it's easy to keep things in one spot.

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    All of this is hilarious given the success of The Sandman, which is a Warner Brothers property from stem to stern, on Netflix.

    The Sandman

    So my significant other somehow managed to get to 2022 without having read The Sandman despite being a huge fan of genre stuff especially horror and such. Watched most of the season last night and today has been like fielding questions from a hyperactive 4 year old punctuated with "why didn't...

    The Sandman

    The first half of "The Sound of Her Wings'" is a note-for-note adaptation that pulls no punches and really got to me. It took me a bit to notice that she is Chidi's Aussie love interest from The Good Place but she just nails the role. This is completely and unapologetically The Sandman and...

    General tabletop RPG discussion

    I'm running Earthdawn. It was always my preferred setting / system following years of AD&D/D&D 2nd edition. Mostly because it gives people a more linear upgrade scheme that they can use to shape their characters while sticking with a given archetype fantasy and still uses all the funny shaped...

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    I suspect also that original programs like Peacemaker and Harley Quinn get pirated because nerds who want content can do so and dump the service. FoodNetwork stuff is less pirated and the core audience less likely to pursue that option and therefore has retained a bigger percentage.

    That would be incredibly stupid. So its probably true.

    Solar Opposites

    Finished the season last night and I was so angry at the finale, but ultimately okay just because the whole package is so good. Well that and a crazy craving for Taco Bell.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    That's some serious spin doctoring there... The resulting film must not have been any good for them to just simply take a total writeoff on the thing versus getting it out the door.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Hmmm it seems that Namor is the king of Talocan in Black Panther 2. They decided to ditch 'Atlantis' and went with a word from Mayan mythology to strengthen the connection. I'm guessing the Talocanians were really pissed off by their land dwelling relations considering they let the Aztecs and...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Good point. I had forgotten about that side of Namor. When is someone going to ever mention this? Yeah the planet has been through some shit over the last decade, but part of a giant stone dude sticking out past the clouds should still warrant a background nod at least.
