Cold Iron - Miles Cameron First book of the Masters & Mages series - epic fantasy, with early gunpowder level technology. Refreshingly avoids the main character being the amazingly awesome chosen one - he's more the John McClane type - wrong place, wrong time. An average student mage heading...

The tits and violence genre has been sadly lacking of late. This show seems a worthy entry, but I'd probably watch it even if the first episode sucked, for the same reason I watched Spartacus.

"I split all my bills, why would I pay for a woman to get fatter ?" Lol, Jonah on fire this season.

Eh, this seemed ok to me. The first two stories were pretty unoriginal though, does give me a lot of hope for something new from the rest of it. Complaining aboutthe 2A jokes is ridiculous though, that the jokes were pathetic and not even slightly funny was the whole point.

You mean how they are trying to destroy all life in the universe ? Or that they live in stars ? Or that they look like birds ? I mean, is there anything similar other than being mysterious ?

Well, the proto-builders were clearly a bunch of shitheads. That doesn't mean the extradimensional aliens aren't also shitheads, but there's pretty strong evidence that they don't do anything unless provoked.

Mmm, I'm torn - on the one hand it was fun, entertaining and well-acted. On the other hand it was trite, unoriginal and silly. It had more of the Adam West batman sensibility, where there's not really any consequences for anything, no matter how recklessly stupid and dangerous it is. In my...

Nice start to the season. *looks around* "Seems legit." Loool.

Uh, they *are* doing a spinoff with Michelle Yeoh's character.

The Land (2-6) - Aleron Kong I was underwhelmed by the first book, which I reviewed here a while ago, but it had an interesting enough concept to get me to try the 2nd one later. The second one was a huge improvement ( I guess he could afford an editor at that point ) and they have gotten better...

It's kind of weird - you have one set of people complaining about 'aaah! feminism', and the other set complaining about 'ahhh! hates women' about the same thing. It's extra funny because it all seems to come from a minor change to the original story.

This series as a whole was great. While they obviously weren't consistent quality, I didn't really dislike any of them except the Hitler one. Some pretty amazing animation in there, enough that my initial reaction to 'Ice Age' was 'no way', rather than 'wait, why isn't this animated'.

Sonnie's edge is probably my favorite of Hamilton's short stories. They changed it up a bit to put Sonnie in a more positive light, but it was great to see it animated with that quality.

Last I checked, tv by the numbers had it as 'more likely than not' for renewal.

Kiwi, not Australian.

There's no really any comparison; the entirety of cradle is the kiddie pool, you don't even qualify on the scale until you leave under your own power. Judge is the top power level of an intergalactic civilization. I strongly suspect Lindon has ninja'ed a massive shortcut though - having a...

Weaksauce - flightpoints only have two bats/gryphons. If they are in use, you can wait for them to get back ;p

Clearly his instructions were : 'What you did in supernatural ? yeah that'. He made a good point though - 'No-one is going to explain any of this to me are they', lol.

Good voice actors, good animation, good music, great action, great art, interesting story. This one seems a winner from the first episode at least. Plus, David Tennant as the mad scientist ;p

On 5 vs 7 On #1 and weirdly inconsistent strength - he lost his super strength when he got fucked up - this actually made more sense in the comic

"That was an accident ! I don't know how to care intentionally about other people's shit.' I don't know if it's the writers, the actress, or both, but Margo is such a fun character. Come to think of it, probably my favorite out of anything I'm watching at the moment.

Australia's idea of 'Mexican' food is fucking disgusting. It's one of the things I miss most from the states.

Alan Tudyk is having entirely too much fun as the bad guy ;p

Wow, really liked this one. Great music, fun characters. If this is an example of what they will be switching to, I don't mind losing the Marvel shows that much.

Yah, Nightflyers had much higher production values but I just couldn't get into it.

205C ?!? Jesus.

I thought this one was good, other than everything to do with Hugo. I mean it's not like the rest of the plot was high art, but the scenes with that guy were almost physically painful.

It does get addressed later on, you may find the reaction more reasonable once you see a bit more background info, but it's all spoilers.

That'd be a better comeback if 1 million gold wasn't worth $200.

This is absolutely true - Shun is a lackey, not a leader though, so ingrained habit of doing what he's told makes it plausible I guess.

The Starfighter Invitation - Andrea K. Höst The launch of a ground-breaking new MMO with breathtaking scope stuns a lot of gamers when it turns out to be even better than the ridiculously hyped previews. As people explore the game, they begin to become suspicious that the game is actually...

The DLC are almost all worth it in some way or another, but they don't all add to each game. Like the robots one lets you play robots, but doesn't do much if you aren't. Utopia has some fun end-game stuff and Leviathans adds some entertaining mid-game space monsters. I'd probably get base...

"Couldn't get it to work, just crashed endlessly when I launched it, so I refunded it" is a valid review though.

Looks like my kind of thing. Video bumps it up to an easy purchase.

"... guys, I cannot stress enough how much I do not give a shit". "Oh."

Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadow of the Apt series probably counts. Hmm, looking through my library I see : Flash Gold, Lindsay Buroker New Amsterdam, Elizabeth Bear Emperor's Edge, Lindsay Buroker* * This one is labelled steampunk but I am not sure it counts for reasons that are a spoiler.

The guy isn't a software developer, he's a creative director. That's why it's interesting news to me anyway - from my perspective almost all of BFAs issues are in game design, not in any technical implementation or art.
