This is my pick for the most CW show that is not on the CW. I like it though - it's not high art, but the premise and world building are pretty original, most of the characters are pretty easy on the eyes, and the effects are not bad.

Yes and no. Peggy isn't portrayed as any better than Cap, it's pretty much the same character arc. For most of the second one, T'Challa is presented as so much more awesome than original Starlord that it is actually kind of grating. The end suggests that he gets the galaxy destroyed by Ego...

Is that actually an equivalent period of 9.0 ? Surely you aren't comparing the lifetime of 9.0 patch kills to current 9.1 kills right ?

The penis armor stills were pretty lol'worthy true, although Cavill legitimately looked great even from the earliest shots IIRC.

Yes, the Aiel are the whitest of the whities in WoT, which is what makes Rand stand out in two rivers, who all have darker eyes, hair and skin. I think most of the legitimate confusion is from Darryl Sweet's cover art.

Maybe ? They might have assumed that people would think Starlord-Jesus would deal with it somehow instead of Ego and the original eating the galaxy. It doesn't seem very likely though on a logical basis - how would they even know anything had happened until Ego was spread across half the...

I have mixed feelings on the first one. Good art, animation and action, saturday-morning cartoon level cringe on the dialogue. The voice-acting was pretty mixed too, the only one I thought was putting a decent effort in was the Red Skull. Deliberately ramming an oncoming truck and then being...

I mean, that's the entire fucking point of the whole civ genre ? Or did you always play civ as USA and reeeeeeeeeee about sjw microaggressions whenever any other faction built one of 'your' monuments ?

Caught up to this - I can see why you'd be upset, but I am a little surprised you didn't see that coming, the author really has a pretty abyssmal track record in that area ;p

Given that the 300 were annihilated by vastly superior numbers that... actually fits pretty well ;p

Shrug, I thought the Goatron one was really funny.

If you can get past the trash tier graphics, I can strongly recommend Deity Empires, I got a lot of playtime and enjoyment out of that one. Great fodder for the relentless min-maxer, with even ordinary troops being able to level up in interesting ways and use equipment, along with various tiers...

Dark Heart Dagger Killing with this dagger form allows you to drain ten percent of your target’s highest stat and add it to your own permanently.

What the shit ? This business with Asmongold is a literal plot-line from Mythic Quest, Blizz getting ideas from shows that parody them now? ;p

I'm pretty sure it said he'd banged all of her bodies, which considering those include a giant lion-man and a mindflayer, suggests he's remarkably tolerant of diversity 8)

This one continues to be entertaining, although I am pretty sure he hasn't put a lot of thought into how the game mechanics work - biggest recent example being the 'prized' new equipment which is like the AD&D equivalent of boots of + 0.0003 agility. I also continue to be annoyed at how Naha...

Few more ones I checked out: Only Villains Do That | Royal Road This is pretty good - it's kind of the opposite of Overlord, in that the MC is, at best, a minor nuisance, with a seemingly impossible task. It's also funny that he's a selfish asshole, recruited as the Dark Lord, and by...

"Summer !!" "I can't deal with this, I have to kill myself and you do too" Lol.

There's a lot of stuff on PTR that flat out doesn't work at all at the moment, and the weekly PTR patches have trivial fluff. If it does go live in early July it's probably going to be a shitshow.

Good to know, the linked video ended with 'released on xbox one on...', PC release as well makes more sense.

That's quite an ambitious departure from the previous ones. Has good potential, but what is this xbone only release business ?

Everyone else in the town is a real person being mind-controlled by Wanda, why would the military guy think that the kids are an exception ?

Tried out Deeper Darker from recommendations here and I give a big thumbs up. Started a bit slow but once all the main characters ended up in the same place it picked up pace quickly into genuinely funny cascading chaos. Ubik's MarySue'ness is so strong that characters from Defiance of the Fall...

It's been a while since I last played, but my experience was that the faction mods were mostly very high quality, if somewhat erratically balanced. It made for some very interesting and unpredictable gameplay with all of them as Nex factions, which was good, but given so many of them add new...

I watched the first episode. I was going to say it was funnier than the combined tax code, but then I remembered 'Lowering the Bar', so now I literally can't think of anything less funny.

"Is this all my fault?" "..." "I regret nothing !" lol.

That's standard 5E, you can't cast spells with somatic components without a free hand, and many cleric spells require you to use their holy symbol as a material component. That rule gets largely ignored because it's annoying though, 'The holy symbol is on the shield' is one generally accepted...

Eh, this was ok. It bugged me that the solution to every interaction with alien technology was 'the feels'.

Project Hail Mary Andy Weir - Hmm, it's a bit hard to talk about what this book is about without major spoilers. It starts with a scientist with memory damage being awoken from a coma by a medical robot of some kind, and finding himself in a room with two corpses. He tries to find out what is...

Eh I don't know, minus points for cringe dialogue, plus points for lesbian sex, seems largely neutral. Is it the defiling childhood memories of Powerpuff girls that's an issue ?

My main takeway from Harrow the Ninth is that while Harrow may have appeared a bit unbalanced from Gideon's point of view, it was all an illusion and she was in fact utterly bugshit crazy. ;)

Blue Core - Rule 34 strikes back, or the author took 'sex dungeon' a little too literally. I lol'ed. To my surprise, other than the author's kinky sex fantasies ( which are in separate labelled chapters if that kind of thing is not to your taste ) I actually found the rest of the story very...

The Aiel are the whitest of white folk, it's what makes Rand stick out in Emond's field - that's he so much whiter than they are.

There's pretty much no chance of this, Jordan was a real prude and was known for sending angry cease and desist legal notices to erotic fanfic writers.

It's the opposite of Gattaca - the story of that is that the human spirit can't be predicted via genetics and the drive to succeed can overcome your innate traits. The story of Ice is that you can't compete with the superior race in any way, even if one of them tries to make you feel better...

The problem I had with Pop Squad was that, while preventing people from having children is an absolute requirement for widespread immortality, it was pretty heavy handed. 'Cop with a gun' is really the best solution that society could come up with ? Given the age of the first kids he's also...

Yeah I found most of these pretty disappointing. Life Hutch was masterclass animation, but the story was a bit 'uh, ok'. I think I liked Snow in the Desert the best.

You aren't missing much - I only watched the first episode but it was very forgettable.
