OMG-- I thought it WAS Cara Gee

Episode #2 was very good. Let me clarify why I was so impressed with it, despite it's simple story arc. They are achieving a Star Trek narrative that hits so many levels and audience demographics; 1) It's simple in it's structure; linear and complete 2) It has special effects that both...

Ugh... What a disaster. One of DC's more interesting characters gets the movie/video/TV shaft yet again... Granted, I did LOVE the Keanu Reeves film despite its molestation of the source material. The 2014 TV show with Matt Ryan was pretty damn good. So, of course, that got cancelled. Then a...

Title: Constantine: The House of Mystery Tagline: Enter a world where magic can't save you. Genre: Animation, Fantasy, Horror, Action Director: Matt Peters Cast: Matt Ryan, Ray Chase, Robin Atkin Downes, Camilla Luddington, Damian O'Hare, Grey DeLisle, Lou Diamond Phillips...

Yes, of course. Early in the game upgraded my bows to the max, but didn't find a huge functional difference between hunter bows and sharpshooter bows (other than the sharpshooter bows became my mainstream). Yes, more configuration potentials, but where was the one great weapon that matched...

Oh yeah-- I agree with the 80 hours. It has a lot more gameplay time-wasting options. It is a great game. But no way as great a narrative/story as the first one. And, the big bads are not as challenging (or surprising) and creatures that were a bitch to kill in HZD (frostclaws, eg) are not so...

It looks like a lot of shit going down in that film... as always of late. I think making bigger and bigger films that affect the entire universe seems the norm now. It'll be a loud, busy, psychedelic mind-fuck. But, if we zoom in really close into a tiny, dark, poor, almost useless point in...

First episode was good. Not overly complex. Quite a few fan easter-eggs. Kept things moving with a simple set-up and an equally simple plot. I liked it. aa

Yup- Chris, you said what I was trying to say (or thought I said). TOS IS multicultural, progressive, far ahead of its time without being self-aggrandizing, nauseating or cow-towing.

Huge fan of TOS. I am, and will always be, appreciative of how they cannibalized the original idea of ST:TOS with "The Menagerie" episode. Despite being an old fart Trekkie, I cannot keep up with the newer series after ST:TNG. However, the idea of Pike/Spock in the spirit of The Menagerie and...

Finally finished HFW. I'm still not certain why they went so PC and diverse. The music , vocal talents, and the graphics on the PS5 were extraordinary. The side quests were a little too similar to each other. The underwater and aerial components were pretty cool; but they (for me, at least)...

I think Liam Neeson's "Darkman" deserves an honorary mention on that list...

what an a-hole...

Maybe that's because medical school is FOUR years...

https://aeropress.com/collections/coffee-makers Which one? I think one cup at a time would be just fine.

yes I DID go to that Diner. Great coffee. Okay food.

This thread is amazing (and I am a little reticent to post here). I fear it may be inviting disdain for my coffee ignorance. However, I have come to believe that the Keurig machine has deprived me of one of life's (possibly not-so) simple pleasures. I used to have a coffee grinder and a Melita...

Actually, the lack of a "male gaze" is fine. That is why the game is so wonderful without being in your face. Aloy is strong, compassionate, independent, and rose from being a figurative and literal "outcast" to hero in a very nice progression in HZD. This time around, we need to have a...

I am playing it-- HZD is one of my all time favs. I am only a little bit into HFW. But I will keep going (and be a better, more woke, diverse, SJW for it). The example video I showed required a hundred plus moves all in correct order or you have to start from the beginning all over again. It's...

What I mean by "grindy" are extended sequences of gameplay that offer only one option (like the jumping and platforming and swinging in that 4 minute nonsense). There are no "alternate solutions." You do all the sequences in the same order until you make a single mistake and then you start...

PS-- here is an example of pure grindy nonsense in HFW (no spoilers):

So it gets better? Good!

HZD is an amazing game. One of my all time favs... I purchased Forbidden West, but it's not the same. I'm only about 8 hours into it, but it is nowhere near as fresh. Plus, it's a bit grindy, and less "open world"-ish than it's predecessor. Funny, however, that I thought the original game...
