I love it as a period drama and as a pseudo history of the PC industry. I kinda hope they reel in more of the actual history and less of the groany wife/overgrown emokid thing tho. I get that the angsty judd-nelson-in-breakfast-club character is EXACTLY as 80's as cans of Tab, but can they...

In dao? No, rogues were pretty shit in dao. Tanks were ok but it's unlikely you could make a better tank than any of many tank companions. archers should've been deleted from the game. Mages were kinda faceroll and they pulled punches in how the Mage origins played out. Supposedly playing...

See that's the problem with Christian eschatology... The upside is pretty fucking boring. If your carrot is an eternity of playing the the harp on a fluffy cloud with legions of smug Mormons, then you'd prolly wanna focus mainly on the stick too. At least Muslims get 72 virgins.

I'll buy the game and play for the single player/coop game since the pvp doesn't interest me. I really like the mythic scifi setting and the thoughtful presentation but if they promote pvp as a core progression pathway I can't see the game growing into a hobby for me. Bungies got decades...

Why? The historical ending is pretty fucking epic. If it hadn't actually happened, no one would believe a script based on the rise of Meyer, lucky and Bugsy since it would be laughably implausible... I mean c'mon, a mafia crime lord orchestrates the invasion of fascist Italy with the...

If you couldn't stand DAO before there's not much reason to expect a different outcome now. Unless you've gotten older, maybe---sounds silly but this actually happened with my nephew (he watched me beat it over the summer when he was 15 and couldn't stand it, he got back from college last month...

Do ppl just farm the strike mission over again for those drops or roam around the cosmodrome explore mode?

I actually bought and enjoyed all the ME3 DLC's but I still spent easily 20x the hours in multiplayer. The Citadel DLC that wraps up all the storylines and companion loose ends was probably the best sendoff for any franchise and should have shipped with the game for free. But as much as I...

For one thing, Jon's death technically frees him from his nights watch vows.

Yeah I'm worried it won't get another season since this one is actually fairly interesting. But really they have noone to blame but themselves. Hopefully they'll shrug it off to freshman season blues (even Babylon 5 had an difficult first season).

ME3 was redeemed by that multiplayer. I guess Bioware didn't make great cash selling the blister packs in it or we'd be inundated by sequels and DLCs and spinoffs of ME3's multiplayer by now.

Just started last night, are there better drops when starting missions at higher difficulties?

Claimed thx

Pilots for closely scripted serial shows rarely hook you in nowadays. These aren't episodic self-contained shows, the pilot has to fit into a broader season-wide 3-act structure. It's actually pretty promising that the pilot was as engaging as it was considering that most serial cable dramas...

They only finished two Maus prototypes and only one had a turret. Neither saw action.

Yeah, thanks. Anyways, the show is produced by Warner bros television, a discrete production studio, it's thefirst of several external buys HBO has made,which includes a fox show and a jj Abrams show also from warner tv. Edit: the jj Abrams show is actually just produced by his bad robot...

This isn't an HBO original btw.. they actually bought it from Warner iirc.

The guys in white are a cult called guilty remnants (gr). The books does a better job of explaining the explosion of neurotic cults after the rapture.

Basically the ending sucked. If they wanted the tension to depend on what it means to be human after the singularity, they could NOT have done worse than a dumbass hollywood love thing. On the other hand the producers could argue that if they took the concepts even higher than where the film...

Hey, even Topless Prophet took a couple episodes to get rolling. Well, one and a half.

About 40 mins, then.

Those PC numbers should be sufficient justification for Ubisoft security to drag the uplay people into an alley and shoot them in the back of the head.

Did this go straight to DVD or something? Felt it like it got on less screens than his sheriff movie.

Well last night's episode should've been the pilot.

Will they require the same keys for the amulet as the ones we get now for the ring? Been on a break from the game till patch 2.1 so I haven't kept track, I'd go back in to farm keys if thats true tho.

The "game of thrones bandwagon" angle is pretty ironic, actually. There was once a Littlefinger call Tom Freston and a King Robert called Viacom andthere's his awesome revenge epic about MTV and what it could've been: VICE. They actually fired Freston because he thought scripted TV wasn't...

Supposedly GeDoSaTo works with this game, anyone have screens with it running?

Thanks to the McConaissance thing, the show has brought the rehabilatative powers of a prestige tv role to the attention of actors with flagging careers... Wouldn't be surprised if Colin Farrell hounded his agency to get him in it at any cost. When word of Halle berry doing tv came around...

Kinda bullshit that True Detective didn't get nominated for best opening sequence. The show's gonna dominate anyway but the competition is pretty lame (except for vikings). HBO usually dominates the category too (Game of Thrones, Carnivale). Also T Bone Burnett pretty much got snubbed for...

Oh my bad, I was just going off the multitude of sources where the studio's founders, several developers and Mike Laidlaw pretty much acknowledged that theywere aggressively pursuing Skyrim's open world design,though it won't be quite as open. There's a ton more interviews and sources in that...

That second video just built up the impression of an over-curated game experience, actually. That sidetracked discussion wasn't off-base after all. They just couldn't help themselves, they had to show off their narrative chops and it seems Laidlaw and co. really DIDN'T learn their lesson after...

Yeah those comedy nominations are practically a setup for a guaranteed Silicon Valley emmy.

I dunno why they turned the nephilim into rock-treants tho. Biblically they were tall half-angels. They even survived the flood and ended in Canaan until god had a fit and nuked them from orbit.

Noah isn't any bigger a douchebag than any of the ancient jew patriarchs who routinely sacrificed their own sons, impregnated their own daughters, called down plagues to murder firstborn babies or just shrugged along while God nuked whole civilizations from orbit while simultaneously turning...

You joke but considering how he portrayed the crusaders in kingdom of heaven, there's a chance we'll see the alternate freedom-fighter Moses that's closer to the "Kalimullah Musa", the Koranic moses. Though the trailer does seem to have its fair share of god lazers.

The networks pick which award category each actor/show competes on their application. So HBO decided to apply both Matt and Woody for best actor, Charles Dance for best supporting etc. The academy picks who ends up being nominated but the network pick the category they want to file for.

I dunno, no hans zimmer this time tho. Hans zimmer on your soundtrack is like a free +15% buff to your rotten tomatoes score.

I think I'd rather have Ridley Scott reboot all the bible movies from the studio era than reboot Blade Runner once.

Most foodie-show junkies prolly know this, but VICE runs some of the best foodie docs out there. Which isn't surprising since they run some of the best anything-docs out there, really. Often better than No Reservation and easily as good as Bourdain's best foodie doc series on PBS (Mind of a...

Season 2 is destined to disappoint unless they wrestle the expectations down to something manageable.... that's gonna be impossible if season one wrecks shit at the emmys around the time HBO needs to start promoting it, which it almost certainly will. They could have Brad Pitt playing a...
