Everything in WoW is a meaningless treadmill that goes nowhere, any progress or achievement is a hollow illusion - this is an objective fact. Despite this, if you buy into the illusion you can be entertained - it's a like a magic trick - you know it's not real, but it can be entertaining. The...

SR3 is right up there with the most fun I've had playing a game. The ludicrous sense of humor was my kind of humor right from the intro - 'You're robbing a bank, disguised as... yourself ?' Heh. SR4 overall was a bit of a letdown, the whacky superpowers from SR3 were great fun, but they...

Book 4 almost made me quit reading the series, so I'd watch the show first and then skip book 4 ;p

Hey, I have no star wars nerd cred, but if there tens of thousands of them, where were they in the movies ? Tens of thousands would also have meant thousands of kids in training surely ?

As a counterpoint, very few people would disagree that shaolin monks exist in our world. There are plenty of stories about them having nonsensical abilities like being able to levitate. This doesn't mean most people believe those stories, or would not be surprised if they found a floating...

My vote is they have a full-on sex scene with him completely naked, except for his helmet. ;p

Ninth House - Leigh Bardugo Junkie high-school dropout gets made an offer she can't refuse - a clean slate as a student at Yale, cover for her actual duties of monitoring the occult activity of the nine secret societies that are based there. This was basically a nicely twisty murder mystery...

First episode was really good, second episode is better. A great start overall. The 'showdown' on top of the crawler was lol'worthy. Baby Yoda is pretty much weaponised cuteness ( 'Spit that out !' ) An invincible machine of ass-kicking, the Mandalorian is not. Heh.

He was standing next to Elliot when the van was burning.

True, having everyone who watched episode 1 arrested for child porn probably would have made the show play out quite differently. :emoji_smiling_imp:

It's pretty funny - I reckon the townspeople would prefer getting overrun by monsters to being 'rescued' by him.

The 'industrial warehouse or whatever' in T1 was the Cyberdyne systems robotics factory, and the movie ended with Sarah pregnant with John Connor, heading to Mexico. T1 was all a closed time loop where the terminator trying to kill Sarah made John exist, and Reese trying to kill the terminator...

Still the craziest bitch in anime, and it's not like anime lacks contenders for that title ;p

While I can sympathize with that perception, I did say it was the opening text - that's literally the first second of the first episode.

I liked it. That opening text though - whoever thought this was a good idea for font, color and background needs a good smack upside the head.

That argument, if accepted, has no end point - why have multiple talents when one is the best ? why have specs when one of them is the best ? Why have different classes if one of them is the best ? Why have things that are only fun or flavor ? Slippery slope sure, but Blizzard have been...

You know the 'more likely than not' threshold for at least one occurrence of a 2% chance is 35 cases right ? That takes an awful lot of handwaving about uneven distribution.

Assuming 2% is correct, I think there' something wrong with your math there, because that conclusion is batshit crazy unless you live in a cabin in the woods and have never been to school.

I don't think I can get over the level squish to be honest. Intellectually I realise that it doesn't make any practical difference, but the thing with rpgs, even MMORPGs is that the illusions matter - heroic strike can be literally exactly the same thing as 'sword attack one', but it's just...

Yeah, apple might have more money as a whole, but they weak-ass launch lineup suggests pretty strongly how seriously they are taking it. I don't think they'll be prepared to lose shitloads of money even if they can afford it.

This corrupted gear stuff is stupid bullshit.

I've liked this one so far. I wasn't expecting the speed of plot development though, was expecting 'woo-woo mystery wooo' to be strung out endlessly, was pleasantly surprised. Still, I feel bad for social services though - it's not like they get portrayed in a positive light very often in TV...

This seemed decent, although the overview listed above seems to be entirely unrelated to the first episode ?

I think it's one of the benefits of the rise in self-publishing - traditional publishing pretty much required thousands of books to be sold to be even worth bothering, meaning there was a big focus on broader appeal - kind of like movies are now. If you had a book that really appealed to a group...

It was about what I'd expected. CW style action and CW style pointless drama. Her behavior would make a lot more sense if she was 15, having a grown woman act like a pouty teenager ( I hate you dad ! ) looks kind of silly, especially given she is being unreasonable. Dad does not give you a...

This was slow, boring, cliched and patronizing. Apparently the Joker is just a sad puppy who wants to be loved, but can't trust anyone anymore. I regret watching it instead of, say, doing washing.

Middlegame - Seanen McGuire A young boy and girl on opposite sides of America discover that they have a strange telepathic connection, and seem to somehow complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. It turns out they are the subject of a secret experiment by a cabal of alchemists, and...

Wait, what ?

I liked it, trippy shit. Main character obviously hasn't watched Legion.

YA is a pretty wide category these days - 'anything but porn' seems to be the general definition.

He just got there, so presumably he brought it with him. Makes sense for him to be funding an inventor.

I had to check this... for Science ! ;p

Vignette *thinks* she's a badass, but yeah, no ;p

I'd suggest the 1star review is from someone who hasn't seen it, but is rustled that people don't take their SJW ranting seriously enough and it might be some huge trap where they will watch it and come out as a gay liberal. Which is all kind of beside the point, because the show is about as...

Some thoughts on Vanguard guys Trooper - great standard soldier guy, overwatch, good health, good range and great scaling with cheap mods. One of the better t1 units. PUG - great support, although not so much for the vanguard troops themselves, but more for commanders. Resupply charge allows...

You ask this after an episode where dozens of flying fae get machine-gunned by zeppelins ? ;p It's fair that they'd never catch them all, but then again, that's why they are still fighting 7 years later.

Thumbs up from me after watching all of it. Great setting, very high production values and an interesting story that was pretty twisty without being implausibly so. Obviously going after Game of Thrones market. Also Philo is an idiot - of all the people to take relationship advice from, he...

This will probably be terrible, but even so, Arnie shooting that guy in the face was pretty awesome.
