The car chase actually annoyed me quite a bit. It looked fantastic sure, but having the literally jet powered batmobile struggling to keep up with Penguins totally normal car was inherently kind of ridiculous. Batman plays the part of a movie monster here, where no matter what speed *you* are...

You should, because they aren't.

This game is pretty fun. Criticism that it's a watered down battle brothers is entirely fair, it *cough* borrows *cough* heavily from the BB game concept. Combat is more x-com'ish though, and is obviously shinier than BB.

"... ... ... Amen." Lol, dude missed his calling, was clearly meant to be a priest. For anyone unsure after ep1, I would definitely watch ep2 and see if that changes your mind - it takes a surprising turn in tone at the end. Overall I am intrigued, it would take a spectacularly bad ep3 for me...

Back half wasn't as good as the start, but it was still solidly entertaining. The last episode amped the retard factor up too high though - even the lonely virgin opening the window was more plausible than stuff like 'Well, i guess we are done digging for now, I'll come back later by myself...

A few impressions of ones I've looked at recently. Fox's Tongue and Kirin's Bone | Royal Road Is fantastic, two-thumbs up. It's a high fantasy setting, with humanity pushed back by the far stronger magical creatures, and now down to a single island. It starts with the fated savior of...

This show is not big on shades of grey. There's cartoonish evil and then there's 'We are under alien attack? Quick, time to relentlessly tase some underage mine slaves while we still can'

I thought this was really good. The derpiness of Steven is tuned a bit *too* derpy would be my only complaint. The blackouts in the chase were pretty damn funny though.

This was mostly inoffensive.

Too few laughs, too much gay romance. Thumbs down overall.

What do you call a slow burn where nothing is actually burning ? It's an interesting story concept, but I think it would have been better if it actually *was* a single black mirror episode.

I finished up my first game as the Mortalen ( angry space lizards ). Total time about 80hours, it's not a quick game ! Taking and keeping territory is a lot harder than ROFLstomping enemy fleets. I actually won by taking the World Destroyer into the second place empire and then destroying their...

Just watched the first few, but this is surprisingly good.

Welp, this one got off to a fantastic start, as it crashed twice on startup 8) Third time was the charm though, been amusing myself playing the space lizards and having marines conduct hostile boarding of everything that has an airlock. This has caused problems with giant space monsters that...

The rimworld devs probably never asked to get classified, on the basis of not actually caring if they can sell in stores.

This was ok, but wasn't very funny. I think I got about 2 laughs out of 3 episodes.

Authors get ludicrously shitty royalties from traditional publishing in most cases. He is certainly not getting 12 mil but he is going to be getting a metric fuckload more than if 12 million worth of books sold in stores.

I thought that was a pretty fitting wrap of the series - Holden's ending was the most Holden thing in the whole series, which is great. Only this time he knows exactly what the consequences are going to be, accepts them, and does it anyway. There was some serious cognitive dissonance with...

Some other stuff checked out recently : Newish ones -------------------- Mark of the Crijik - this is fairly typical isekai/litrpg as a baby stuff, but has a certain amount of charm to it. I quite like it so far. Technomagica - also isekai/litrpg as a baby, but this time with more Russia. This...

Maybe - but remember his only sources of info so far are the mage equivalent of yahoo answers, and a random girl that wants to teach herself with unrestricted general knowledge stuff from used bookstores. There's also no confirmation that he's actually right about healing - it could easily be a...

What do you mean? I was expecting tranny dick and dimly lit long distance side boob from this description, not A+ nudity from the main chick plus gratuitous strip bar scenes. Sure, it's not Spartacus, but what is?

They were on fire with the lols this episode. Show and tell, haha.

Samuel wants to get the demon into the real world. Speculation, but Samuel probably wants to exit in 1994, not 2021. In 1994 he's a wealthy cult leader with a comet, a secret lair and a blood sacrifice - in 2021 he's got jack shit.

I liked it. The setting is weird as hell and doesn't really make any logical sense, but it's a pretty original story. Gideon's a pretty relatable and realistic character. Harrow is utterly batshit crazy though, which made me enjoy the second book less. I mean, I can appreciate the crazy, but...

Shirt's numbers are public, he's getting 26k/month at the moment. Glad to see Inadvisably doing well, Paranoid Mage is quality shit, and wrapping up your reasonably successful ongoing series to start a new one is a ballsy move.

The whole list of people he should have framed instead was pretty good stuff - the episode overall was pretty damn funny. "Okay you're right. I just forgot women had fingers for a second." Heh.

This was pretty good, I was kind of annoyed at how retarded Melody was though. Supernatural mumbo jumbo is one thing, but she makes the worst decisions for the mostly mundane things. I.e. Checklist for getting a sample of toxic mold that she is trying to prove causes psychotic breaks 1) Mask -...

Paranoid Mage - looool Spatial magic has limited combat applications and is mainly used for transportation - aahahahahahahahahaa. While it's possible all of GAR are fucking idiots, that they are scared shitless of the spatial archmage suggests that there may be some minor disinformation going...

I admit, this show is the hardest I have laughed at a sex scene for a long time ;p It's pretty uneven but delivers on the lols, which is all I could ask for.

Love interest's kid vs the little fucker killed 5 billion people, including your extended family ?

Unlike regular psychic powers, thoughts&prayers™ works through TV 8)

He said he's publicly re-reading and then posting the prior patreon chapters to get in the right mindset for continuing the story. I was actually surprised at how positive the RR comments were on the return, but I guess it still has a lot of fans.

With a bit of extra reading time over the xmas break, I've read through a few more serials. Stories in early days, for when not having an seemingly insurmountable backlog is a plus: Paranoid Mage - Urban fantasy type setting - successful architect gets caught up in a supernatural shootout...

I think you overestimate how much influence a creative consultant has. If they tell him to fuck off, he has no option but to do so.

Yeah, as far as I know, all of the bite attacks stack. There's only two downsides I can think of - first is that if you use a reach weapon you have to move into close range to bite them, if you attack at max range it'll just skip biting. The other is that most (all?) of them count as secondary...

You are, to some extent, at the mercy of the sound mix, but if you have a 5.1 or better system, all dialogue should be coming from center channel, so you can just boost that.

Mmm yes and no. I quite like the series, other than book 4, which almost made me quit reading it. Season 1 of the show was a very good adaptation though, you won't get a lot of extra from the book I think, which leaves it in a kind of odd place. I can't see any way that the book series end...

Apparently, in the show, the whole giant thing on the floor was the 'seal'. Moiraine picks up a broken bit of it and has a discussion with Lan about how it shouldn't be possible to break it. There's some cognitive dissonance for book readers, as the seals are small, hand-held things.

Eh, it's $5, threw it into the queue, it will probably be out of early access by the time I get around to playing it ;p
