    For All Mankind

    Titan? Or Venus perhaps?

    Song of Conquest

    The reviews cover it but yeah this is pretty much homm3 with minor differences. I've been enjoying it.

    The Dangers of Gaming with Women

    No, my wife has no interest in video games. I'm not sending her to the kitchen though since I'm the chef of the house. She can do the laundry. The TV series thing definitely happened though and indeed I got in trouble occasionally for watching ahead because I didn't want to wait, but fuck it...

    If you liked Mr Bean you'll like man vs bee, it's just more of the same - classic Rowan Atkinson.

    Diablo Immortal

    I wonder what the repercussions are for the marketing drone who accidently tweeted from the wrong account. That one simple act appears to be likely to cost blizz 10s of millions of dollars or more. People have been disappeared for a hell of a lot less than that.

    The Umbrella Academy

    Thoroughly enjoyed this season even if some sections of it did drag a bit. I actually like how ambiguous a lot of things were at the end. Adding some absolute top shelf eye candy to the cast didn't hurt either.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeah I'm pretty excited about FF7R but I am pretty jealous about people who get that worked up about it. That's what makes those videos fun to watch though, you can feel and even ingest some of their happiness and makes you feel good. It does for me anyway.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Another 70 bucks each time. They are separate games.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think it's more likely that most of the progress won't carry over. Having all of those levelled materia and weapons moving over as the new baseline would be weird. They'd have to raise the weapon level cap/introduce more spheres, which I guess is fine, but they'd also have to introduce a bunch...

    Ms. Marvel

    I agree Kamala is endearing. Her whole family is, both her parents are great and the brother is too. All of the scenes with her family are the most enjoyable to me. The superhero and teen/school drama stuff is dull as fuck but the family keeps it interesting. That scene with her friend trying to...

    If you wanted a reminder that this show is aimed at teenagers there you go!

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I don't understand the the mentality behind thinking you can't travel if you have kids. I travelled extensively with small children. My son had a passport before he even turned 1 and had been to 5 different countries before his second birthday. It definitely does depend on the kind of travelling...

    No Man's Sky

    I'm working on this new expedition now. Does require being a lot more careful to avoid dying but it's not too hard so far.. The riskiest part of it so far has been collecting eggs, I had one where I popped it and while waiting for the egg to start rolling several of the monstrosities hit me...

    Looking forward to knives out 2, the first one was a lot of fun. Looks like it's got an excellent cast too apart from Mrs Smith.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think people are too fixated on the content of the original game. They could make as many or as few FF7R parts as they want to and still make them all good if they create enough meaningful content to flesh them out. FFXIV is a good example of this. The whole...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    That's just what you want to think because you're Seymour Skinner. If that is the message you get from every game/tv show/movie then you probably need to see a psychologist about your paranoia/anxiety problem. I'll just give you one simple obvious example of how this has always been here. One of...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that companies slowly lose the ability to create fun and creative games after a decade or more of success. Their innovation is slowly strangled out of them by the shareholder demand of infinite growth, which results in extremely conservative decision making...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Funny I'm the opposite. I played HFW first and to me it's the best of it's genre so far. Now I'm working through Elden Ring and I'm strongly feeling the urge to go back and replay HFW since NG+ is out now. Don't get me wrong, Elden Ring is an excellent game and I have definitely enjoyed it so...

    Ms. Marvel

    I watched it - it was pretty boring. I'm not the target audience - which was obvious from the trailers. Kids liked it. In fact it was just like watching Raising Dion or We Can Be Heroes with them which I found even more boring than Ms Marvel.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Solo is a lot more worthy of a watch than ep8/9. Not saying much I know but it's not as stupid, or as offensively destructive to the SW universe as ep8, and isn't as JJ Abrams as ep9.

    The Boys

    I binge watched this late last night and that scene 10 minutes into ep1 I couldn't control myself, I burst out laughing so loud I woke my family up. Amazing stuff, looking forward to the rest!

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Chow has directed some good stuff including some excellent Mando episodes. At least one of the biggest problems I have with Ep3 of Obi-Wan must pretty much be her fault based on my extremely limited understanding of how film making works. Specifically 3rd sister teleporting to the end of the...

    Love, Death & Robots

    I hated the three robots one more than Jibaro. Jibaro had things going for it like it looked fantastic, had interesting use of sound and was fucking weird as shit. The three robots one just felt like I was being lectured by some annoying millennial. All in all it was an excellent season.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Since you haven't even finished the tutorial and you're already complaining about the game it's probably best you do refund it. To answer your question he is with you for about 1% of the game. Since you hate Varl so much you might actually be pretty happy with how the game progresses.

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Andromeda while obviously unfinished and lacking in a variety of ways still had plenty going for it and generally wasn't as bad as people say.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Well for me, slings and sharpshooter bows were 2 of my 3 main used weapon types (along with hunter bow). Sharpshooter was for initiating combat, usually either by stripping parts using sharpshot tear arrows, or just going for straight damage with advanced sharpshot arrows which would 1 shot most...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I definitely want DLC. H:FW is an absolutely top shelf gaming experience. The same dumdums who shit up every movie/tv/game thread complaining about how woke it is are so repetitive & boring now that they are getting easier to ignore. Children who fear the boogeyman see him in every cupboard...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Scarlet Witch brutally murdering the illuminati was worth the price of admission. On the whole the movie was good. Only major problem I had was Wong giving up the origin of the Darkhold so easily. That was lame as fuck and ruined his character. Scarlet Witch should have just forcefully taken...

    Ozark

    Well thats the end of an excellent show. Even though the end was fairly unsatisfying at least the show ended unlike most others that just peter out or get cancelled. They must have written Wendy to be unlikable on purpose, she constantly fucked up every single thing she touched to the point I...

    Moon Knight

    I'm ready to be wrong but I don't think they'll use the third personality this season. I am enjoying this show. I was obsessed with egyptian mythology as a teenager (a long time ago) and this is bringing back a lot of fond memories from studying, visiting museums etc about it. Oscar Isaac is...

    Lost Ark Online

    Can confirm. I'm 1340 (only just!), no alts, extremely casual, started more than a week after launch. Some weeks I don't even complete the 6x chaos dungeon weekly (like this week where I only did 4). Don't do abyss dungeon or generally any other content other than chaos/guardian/una's most days...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Anyone who finds it upsetting when every other NPCs mention their same sex life partner might find this game difficult to enjoy.
