    I've been flipping through the original series and it's still cheap and it's still hokey but it is just so much better. No money, bad effects and melodramatic this Nadine is still stronger and confronts Flagg better than the shit we got in the new series. She properly speaks to his fears and...

    What did you just read?

    Just as a fair warning The Scarlet Gospels is really bad. It took him forever to get it done and he was/is battling health problems and it just didn't come together. edit - his collections of short stories are pretty good, the Books of Blood

    "Stu, can you go get water? Nothing works here." "I wonder if that pump works." She then approaches the well from the most dangerous angle. Either side with the heavy board would have been better but she picks literally the worst angle on this fucking movie prop of a well. Maybe put a heavy...

    This last episode is so fucking bad that I retroactively regret watching the previous eight. Instead of getting to spend some time with Tom and Stu as they struggle to get back to Boulder (with a special appearance by the ghost of Nick Andros) we instead watch the dumbest white girl left alive...

    Given that only the first couple episodes are told grossly out of chronological order I have even more questions about why.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There are a non-trivial amount of players that don't push buttons. You know all the stuff you do? When you're doing that stuff they aren't doing anything. I don't mean they're doing the wrong thing. I mean they aren't doing anything. GCDs are going unused one after another after another...

    Path of Exile

    There's a part of the game that's super autism. Occasionally some people that aren't super autists want to do some really austistic shit but it's tough if you're not a super autist. The super autists like that some of the game is semi-exclusive to high functioning super autists.

    It's anecdotal and I'm a derp but Ritual doesn't feel like its stocked with as much interesting shit as it was earlier in the league.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    With the books I thought Dany was a villain that was going to burn everything with a pet theory that he white walkers were less villains and more an elemental counterbalance to fire. I also thought the story would conclude with the birth of a new age of heroes as magic fully returns to the...

    That warning is so fucking stupid. Ha HA! The story you thought you've been reading (some of you for 22 years) isn't what you thought it was! Oh, that story? The final journey where Roland blows the horn? You get one paragraph of that and then we out here's the poem. Maybe, just maybe you...

    I just meant the way I wrote that looked "I really liked the ending and then later when I went back I didn't like the ending." Thinking too hard about things.

    I read it once and liked it, especially the ending (the very very ending) but when I tried to go back to I wasn't sure why. That book is such a fucking monster.

    The Stand

    For inserting himself as a character a bit I didn't think it was poorly done. He took a big risk in even doing it and I think it comes out fine. What bothers me isn't the meta nature as much as how he shits on his own work towards the end of the series. Oh, Insomnia is "thin" you say. It's a...

    What, you don't like a kid that has never been seen in the entire series with not but one or two lines of dialogue in another 1000 page book coming through a magic door and erasing the meta villain of the entire King multiverse and doing so in the final pages of the final book?

    With the remake to IT they needed to tell the story of the Fire at the Black Spot. Get the actor that played young Mike and the actor that played his uncle and put them in a room together and just tell the story. You can do some clever horror camera stuff with a super slow zoom and the room...

    I finally got around to episode eight and it's just bizarre. I have no idea why we did an Idiocracy + Final Destination homage to close out New Vegas. There's some alright stuff in here and it's nice to get to spend some more time with Lloyd but could we take all the money spent on this Vegas...

    Lloyd turning on Flagg sounds like a poor change to make. In the book you grow to feel some sympathy for him despite his introduction with Poke in a robbery gone bad. There's a decent amount of time devoted to him alone in prison starving to death and remembering his past. When he's rescued by...

    I don't know how the show pulls it off but it feels both it manages to feel rushed while almost nothing happens. We just didn't spend any time hanging out with the characters and getting to know them so we've got no investment. The only one with an actual arc is Harold and he managed to come off...

    Speaking as a trash so weigh my opinions appropriately but so far this is the primary thing I don't like.

    As a super casual I'm liking it so far. They sometimes spawn in bad locations which makes the mechanics annoying and the tribute small but other than that they've got a lot going on.
