    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    how come they stopped the bonus streams they used to have a few years back? it was like getting a double agdq, and more relaxed atmosphere.

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    watched it today. meandering first hour that doesn't really go anywhere, filled with bland impulsive characters one never has a chance to care about. a generic evil guy-robot who listens to classical music and talks about how misunderstood he is... if only they would have replaced his flute with...

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

    I always liked the first three, felt like a very piratey trilogy that should have ended on that. I don't really understand why people disliked them so much, it's an action comedy poking fun at as many things piratey and maritime as they could think of in an over-the-top kind of way. like when he...

    Stephen King's The Dark Tower

    well, considering how the books collapsed after somewhere around the middle of wolves of the calla, (probably because King had written the manuscript for that one when his mind and the material was still fresh so that book was still fairly OK) I'm going to give this a go. Even if they skip on...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    Pretty good, although the story took a while to get going, felt a lot heavier on just character exploration and interactions. Really sweet to see a space opera setting done well, just weird that it had to be a superhero movie to do it. It went a bit too try-hard on cramming as many jokes as...

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    This is one of those movies where they should actually have played down the original stuff even more than they already did. Too many small nods that are probably just confusing to most people. Section 9 should have been removed. The batous losing his eyes part felt completely unnecessary. Having...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    No, sexual selection, genetic drift, are all part of natural selection, on the individual level and on the genetic level. Speech through sound is far more effective on animal levels for everyday life. Touch requires proximity, sign requires a clear view of the speaker, whereas sound can travel...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    If you're going to discuss natural selection and brain then there's no point in citing natural philosophers and linguists, it's all biology (or if you want to get serious, chemistry and physics). Everything a human does is a result of natural selection. Every part of your brain that pertains to...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    a lot of big twitch personalities are trying to sell the game pretty hard, then again they do that for most big titles these days.

    Planescape Torment Kickstarter: A spiritual sequel to be set in Monte Cook's Numenera

    Finally finished the game. overall, pretty good but a lot of mechanical clunkiness: with the whole short pause and sound effect every time one interacts with npcs or stuff, which gets pretty annoying after a while. but the main problem was that it felt a lot shorter than Planescape Torment, and...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    the lack of reproduction of studies has many explanations. in part I believe generally there's simply no glory in reproducing others results, it takes a lot of time and won't get you any publication to speak of, which is really all research groups are about. today it's all about "publish or...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I like PoE, played through it a couple of times, but I think it still falls short of it's "spiritual predecessors" BG, Icewind dale etc. in part because it tries to be more edgy, dark and philosophical, which doesn't quite work out. It lacks the healthy dose of whimsical fantasy fun of the BG...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    saw it today, a clear cash grab using star wars nostalgia. kind of interesting seeing them using the hyperspace more and more in space battles, but that's about it. seems to get easier and easier to kill large amounts of storm troopers for every movie.

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Did not really enjoy this game. Too silly and whimsical world and story, with too much "oi, look at me, oi 'ave a silly british accent", but I wasn't a fan of the original game either, with the cluttered environment that's more of a pain to interact with, and what is the deal with having enemies...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    I don't really see why people dislike the 5th season, sure the whole fake murderer thing is a bit out there, but it does make a lot of poignant points similarly to previous seasons, and ties up as much as possible of all the threads. a lot of memorable scenes in that season. also, this clip...

    Simpson Marathon INC this FALL

    No show should go beyond 10 seasons. things just inevitably get stale, it's better to give stuff a worthy send off rather than drag them out into a bitter end.
