Putting Maximum Overdrive at the bottom is just silly. That's a fine place for Riding the Bullet to occupy.

You don't remember a single line of dialogue at the ass end of a a 1000 page book? Get good son, get good. I like Insomnia quite a bit but rereading a synopsis for it I can't even comprehend how it's so long for so little happening.

On his last loop Roland earned a chance at redemption as now he restarted with the Horn of Arthur Eld at his side. He goes on his adventure, he gets to the tower, he blows the horn, and he gets to stop. Speaking of perma-salt I'm going to be salty about this forever too probably - King...

He chews scenery but in a good way.

The Langoliers is bad but in a way that's still entertaining.

Phantasm and Phantasm 2 are the first horror films I have any memory of seeing where it felt like the villain won. I don't mean a Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Carrie style twist jump scare ending. Sure, there's some of that in Phantasm to be sure but these are movies where our...

JJ Abrams helped the remastered 4k version of Phantasm get made. If you haven't seen it in a while give it a go. It's still pretty odd as an adult.

It's bad but I have some fondness for the miniseries Rose Red. It's basically what you would get if a hack wrote a sequel to The Shining while ripping off Matheson's Hell House. All of the basic rules of The Shining are there but everything is just bigger. If you die in the house you become...

Between the movie and the book there is the perfect horror story in Pet Semetary. The movie fucks up when it introduces the story of the father that buried his son in the ol' Mickmack Burial Grounds and he comes back a zombie. In the book he comes back harrowed. He knows things he shouldn't and...

I've complained about this before and I'm going to complain about it again but he sabotaged his own multiverse in the later Dark Tower books. Some of the books are real events (real in that they take place at least somewhere in the multiverse) and some books are Stephen King the Writer...

The first film should have been gritty, based on the first book only, and inexpensive. It's The Man With No Name in a Weird West setting. That's it. We're in a wasteland, he shoots a bunch of people, we spend a little time with Flagg and Jake, Jake says "go forth for there are worlds other than...

You can see Patrick Hockstetter in the trailer including a missing persons poster on a poll for him but it does seem very unlikely he'll be wanking off Henry Bowers while Beverly watches and gets all misty when she realizes Bill also has a dick just like the boys she is spying on. I just...

How can you not like Mordred!?! It's an Arthurian legend reference! New villain introduced in the ass end of the series, immediately jobs out Randal Flagg (the Man in Black himself and villain of The Stand and Eyes of the Dragon) so we never get a final confrontation between Roland and Flagg...

The robots fighting parts in the first film were great. The huge gap between the first robot fight and the second robot fight in conjunction with the horrible comic relief subplot really dragged the entire movie down for me. I wanted the movie to be more serious than it was and we don't really...

The game has some charm when it's Mario and Fox and the like but it loses even that small positive when it's Bayonetta vs Cloud. Nintendo Anime Fighter is not interesting.

Alright, I finished the thing. I put it down for a few days because it was just nonstop unpleasantness. From the gorilla, to the story about the father and the bird, to the turtle it felt like there wasn't any more actual story. For the remainder of the book we'd just be trying to make the...

The Hole and Paineel made it in pre-Kunark but was not present at launch.

Then it sounds like you got the full experience.

That part, in addition to being horrific, does extra work in giving you somewhat of a timetable for the main story. Oh, this shit's going to get really ugly really fast. OK then.

Finishing up the section involving the ape test subject. Looks to be approaching the halfway point. I found it to be uniquely unpleasant. It just went on and on and on and on. I was sorta ambivalent about the book thus far but now I'm mighty interested in seeing where it goes.

Well I'm not good with numbers but I stand by my dark premonitions!

Don't worry about this season. It'll be great. Season three is going to be the one that sucks after the show acquires a strong political bent and ceases to be a frantic sci-fi adventure.

Exp pots stack additively with bonus exp weekends. The bonus exp from a pot and a weekend don't multiple together.

That's the kind of advertising that annoys your core audience while doing nothing to drag in new viewers.

When Q first arrives he accuses humanity of being violent savages. PIcard claims that humanity has moved beyond its violent past and has become enlightened. While Picard would prevail in his first challenge at Farpoint station that trial never truly ends. Q would later introduce the Enterprise...

A CHALLENGER APPEARS Star Trek: First Contact Overall I do like SFDebris. He's nice and low key.

First Contact is not without some problems but in relation to all of the Star Trek films it's firmly in the category of "Good." It also has a wonderful little bit of subtlety hidden within it. First Contact is Q finally proving to Picard that he is not quite as advanced as he thinks he is...

It's related to that property but I'm not sure if it is directly related to that specific film. The IMDB said it takes place ten years after that film but I don't know how accurate that is.

With item loot PvP

It's no longer its own zone. It's just part of Tox now. The exp there is quite good.

They haven't shit the bed like this in quite a while.

It does surprise me that there are still things left that can be abused to the point that they get changed. The two fire beetle eye quests had been in the game since forever but it wasn't until Phinny that we saw mainstream factory farming of quest items. I had used the Grobb version since...

The older version that sounds like a rip from cassette tapes or the newer version by Weber? He just yells too much. I've started The Troop and am maybe three hours in and I'm having a hard time seeing how this is going to go on for another seven. I really like the person doing the reading but...

The progression servers have been competitive enough to get people to go balls to the wall. Over the years something fringe like charming Allizewsaur becomes standard operating procedure. There's also a financial incentive with the advent of Krono to use the best tactics. Those tactics then...

We can't. The corking device requires an item foraged from Velious.

Pets will use two handers if they are not high enough level to dual wield. If the damage of the weapon is higher they'll use that damage. Giving a level 1 or level 4 Necro pet a rusty two-handed has been a thing forever.

The gore effects were good and I was interested enough in the android characters but I just couldn't give a shit about anyone else. So many characters taking insanely huge risks. Let's go check out a brand new planet! Let's fly the colony ship too close to a hurricane so we can maybe rescue some...

There's just something about their brand of snarky assholeness that I find so charming.
