    "Action combat" nowadays is a trend invented by some PR guy eagered to call "old-gen" MMO combat "tedious and too much complicated" where standing still doing your best skill rotation is "lame and not rewarding". That's why you have dodge, sprint, telegraphs and active positioning / aiming. It...

    The Newsroom S2

    Finally watched S2 premiere, it liked it a lot mostly because of the flashback and technical setups. I totally agree with Soriak's view, these shows shouldn't be watched as being 100% realistic, they're merely a take about how some things work / should work, from a Sorkin's (democrat) point of...

    Orange Is the New Black

    /////SPOILERS///// I've watched it on Netflix US (thanks Mediahint), it was overall kind of good, some characters were interesting and it wasn't much about "Desperative Wives in jail". The Healy character was well written, Pornstache (Nick Sobotka in The Wire) too. Hell, even Jason Biggs was...

    The Bridge-FX channel.

    So it's basically FX response to AMC's The Killing. They don't even pretend to do something slighly different : - Holden and Ruiz are both the corrupt cool family cop with a good heart. - Linden and Cross are both the renegade obsessive cunt cop with mental issues. What doesn't really...

    Only God Forgives- Ryan Gosling

    That's the whole point of the movie, depicting some "off the spot" character interacting with actual beings, a situation already shown in Sergio Leone's movies (the dollars trilogy, Refn's Drive director main inspiration). The story doesn't really matter, it's just about people forgetting about...

    The Bridge-FX channel.

    Yep, that's whay you generally get when some studio order a 1h26mins pilot and then decides to cut it to 1h07. I'd watch the uncut pilot though, I'm confident there'd be more character depth.

    They'll most likely reveal Chua and Mordesh races, and maybe Engineer / Medic classes.

    The Newsroom S2

    Beginning of S1 is sketchy as fuck because Bartlett (Martin Sheen) was never meant to be a recurring character, the show was initially about West Wing's staff, and John Spencer's character (Leo) was initally meant to be THE lead. But as any Aaron Sorkin's shows goes (aka fuck production, praise...

    Only God Forgives- Ryan Gosling

    (I didn't see the movie) Early critics were awful, most of them being "internet journalists" without any culture about asian / HK cinema. Therefore, they'd totally miss most of the references : many scenes in the trailer remind about early John Woo work (when he was shooting in Hong Kong)...

    Maybe the pilot is 2 episodes put together with some scenes being cut. I'd assume there was a scene which would introduce her condition at some point. If you don't know she has Asperger's, it just looks like she's a huge pedantic bitch. Overall the pilot was a half disappointment, the mexican...

    There is so many people conveniently lying in this show, you can't really assume one is gay because he stated it. For all it's worth, we don't really know Benson's intentions right now. He stated he does know the aid DREAMER doesn't like women and he made a move on Campbell, but we don't really...

    Season 2 got totally under my skin, so I'd say 2>1=3=4=5. I know it's not a popular opinion, since most people think season 5 was a bit botched, but to me the multi-layered ramifications shown in s2 show how above the show fared, quality wise. It's not anymore about cops and drug dealers, it's...

    Under the Dome-CBS

    This show had good premises although based on a book everyone and their grandmother already knew the ending. So I was curious about their writing, since Stephen King is a executive consultant. But they anyhow fucked up most characters writing wise, they're all B movies characters (the renegade...

    I'm from Europe and we have awful politics right here, basically governments' licking "European Commission's" sweaty balls aka "technocrats without elect mandates making ultra-liberal decisions about anything for the sake of it".

    I'm curious about what did you find ridiculous in 2nd season ? I really liked the season finale, mostly because Tom-Meredith (no spoilers) so maybe my opinion about season finale shadows the whole season.

    Police brutality is a real issue wherever it happens and Youtube is full of bad police behaviour, fucking idiots with a badge doing awful things, they should all be jailed when they break the law or harass people illegally. On the other hand : in the video the Sheriff deputy turns into a...

    Well I'd say the two seasons hold themselves together pretty well. The major storyline(s) get their end. It's only getting frustrating because the show had so much potential at the end. But you can watch it safely without fear of having a LOST finale at the end.

He's not Don himself, he's just the same kind of guy, who left a shitty life (Draper being from a brothel, Benson from hillbillies) getting some shit job (Draper selling furs, Benson being a senior VP errand boy) before being able to be hired in a company...

    I agree with you about classes blandness, and having only 8 skills to choose feels quite limited, gameplay wise. I'm eager to see how that will compute comes lvl 50, especially warplots and PvP.

    Treme is watchable if : - you have extensive knowledge of New Orleans culture (music, social, hurricane, customs, people, institutions, etc). - you don't mind a tv show spaghetting its stories without any point or direction. - have manual selective memory, where you can erase stuff from...
