As far as the average walking dead episode goes this was a masterpiece which doesn't say a lot but it shows how much better things could be with a smaller cast and varied locations. Their soap opera prison commune and their angry neighbors can all **** off and it would improve things...

I took it more as an I just got all my friends killed for this... moment even though it came off a bit weird and artificial especially since he wasn't fighting for the sword and armor anyway. But had he just taken the spoils he could have then sold them and bought his own little darkeyed...

Hugh Howey is up to 8 books now and is working on the 9th in this series. They are written in short story format and follow the lives of various "silo" dwellers, think Fallout Vault societies but on a gargantuan scale with hundreds of levels, redundant life support systems and thousands of...

All of Hayao Miyazaki's work forms the core of studio Ghibli's most successful creations. The stuff that he didn't work on is a very mixed bag ranging from amazing (Grave of the Fireflies) to utter garbage, at least from a both children and adults can love it perspective (Tales from Earthsea...

This is a pretty fun game and it is updated regularly. Its difficulty is based upon how you play, if you just sit around in your base farming and cooking all day things will be pretty dull at least until winter starts and the Deerclops spawns in your base and destroys everything you've build up...

I really do hope so. Had he been motivated even a little bit by a lust for glory and power when he led that charge and then had a long moment of reflection on just what the price for it all was then I could understand it better. But he wasn't and that just made the refusal really strange and...

Peter Brett is destroying himself with overall bad writing, not with flashbacks. As for Kaladin's flashbacks, I agree that his childhood was just cut and dry heroish origin building that every fantasy story seems to do with one child or another and could have been done better or spent less time...

Hes made the princes far too mindless... all they seem to care about is feeding (power) and breeding... much like our protagonists. Heh. True enough but at least itwasfun enough to read at that point but that is no longer the case.

I agree Super and things were interesting, I feel, so long as a sense of danger and uncertainty was present. Once the main characters started becoming ridiculously superhuman any potential for a good story flew right out the window; there is no conflict that they cannot resolve and so the...

Same, apart from the alligators and Carols analysis of Lanna it wasn't very good. The last few episodes before more than make up for it though.

After reading The Count of Monte Cristo recently I wanted more of Dumas so I picked up the Three Musketeers, it should be fun.

Sort of, Leesha will still be going around whining on and off for the rest of the book but the action at least starts to pick up and most of the Renna/Arlen crap is cut down compared to the first half of the book. The story would have been much better without the interpersonal relationship...

Yes, I know but I just have a hard time believing that he so strongly identifies with that place that he would do this apart from when needing to blend in somewhere at need (and its unpleasant to read). He left that tiny village when he was a child, nearly all of his formative experiences...

Perhaps this show was more enjoyable if you watched it week by week and seasonal. I did a marathon of it a few years ago and by the end it was just a tedious mobster soap opera for me with little character or anything of note to remember. The only episode that I really even recall was the Pine...

Well I decided to try it anyway... anything and everything having to do with Renna so far is making the read very trying for me; she's almost at WoT levels so far.Love You Arlen/ no one tells me what to do / I'm jealous! / her knife gripping is the new braid tug etc. Also, on top of all that...

Not sure if you are serious but... have you watched the show for awhile? Every time a non villain black man joins the group has been after (or presages) the death of the current one. It much like the action movies of the 90's where nearly every movie had a cool black guy who was doomed from...

Most ineffectual gunfight in recent TV history or perhaps ever... maybe all of those optical sights are just for show as they might as well have all been using smoothbore muskets for all the good they did them. It was also hilarious how they dramatically paused for the unleashing of the 2 mile...

I wish that cruel + had unique content from normal, I know it would be a lot of work but I just can't find the fun in running the same thing over and over again hoping for a miniscule chance of an upgrade. Does anyone know the default drop chances by the way?

It doesn't sound to be worth the trouble of picking up sadly. Its really a shame as the first book had so much promise and danger going for it.

Good point and probable.

I don't remember the second book especially well as I didn't like it very much but here's the gist if you want (its a rather bland summary, but the book is actually very engaging): I hope that helps and I apologize again for the bare bones nature of the summary, if you want more then I...

Roman men went shaved and considered those who did not barbarous. Hes punishing him for something. Things I wish that were different in this show: I wish that most of the prolonged and often awkward sex scenes were removed, especially the man love. What ever happened to implying...

I just wish that anti monopoly regulations were still enforced and not completely disregarded as they now seem to be; in the end monopolies just harm the consumer and progress in general. Imagine having 4-6 cable options in each town instead of the usual two giants playing badminton with...

Yes they were the choices that had to be made but he had no support from any veterans among the watch (and did not really strive for it), he was also dictatorial whenever concerns were voiced and basically plugged his ears, went la la la and expected things to go fine. I'm really just amazed...

I wish that John were really and truly dead, everything about him is just downright frustrating especially given that he painted a giant kill me sign on himself for the entirety of the last book (it also didn't help that GRRM devoted a substantial portion the book to his POV and then stuffed it...

Two episodes in and all I can think is: Is it a rule these days that every protagonist must have some snarky super hacker at the beck and call? Also, this is weirdest tv town that I have seen outside of a SF/Horror program.

I would suggest not bothering then, the first two books are the most engaging and well written of the series, Jordan put far more effort into them than in any that followed. The only reason I continued to follow and read the rest is because the first two got me to care about what eventually...

Double Post Fail: Delete Me!

This game makes me feel like a fool for playing it these past few days as much as I have as it is basically just a prettier version of Diablo II which I played to death years ago and I should know better by now. The gameplay in itself is not fun for me; kill trash mob_01 mindlessly over and...

I didn't expect anything to be honest but I was disappointed with how they mucked up such a simple story. The nearly endless action sequences frequently crossed the line of the absurd and effectively banished any sense of tension or excitement that they might have otherwise produced. Also...

I really liked the first book despite the cliche of downtrodden boy/girl -> adversity -> talent/power -> adversity -> to hero arc of most fantasy. The total helplessness felt by the characters each evening and the effects this had on society as a whole was interesting and effectively helped to...

I'm pretty convinced at this point that he just does not enjoy writing about ASoIaF any longer. If he did he could have been churning out D&E short stories left and right as they are fairly simple tales regarding the history of a world and characters that he has already created. Likewise with...

Please forgive the negative tone of my post, those of you who enjoy the book greatly, for I do enjoy reading parts of it and I do understand why many like it but I also find much in it that I do not. I am about halfway through this last book and all that I can say is that I sincerely hope...

Yeah some people boxed but I never had a hard time getting into a group 1-60 pugging for the most part which wasn't very classic in my experience. Overall it was a very nice group server aside from the guild camps that locked down certain spawns 24/7 for days or weeks, that sucked and should...

The Land Before Time series is up to 13,JurassicPark has some catching up to do heh. A new, well made, dinosaur movie would be fun though if they left out already established locations, characters, children and an overuse of CGI.

I agree completely Rotanee, the beginning was okay and would have been even better IMO had Bilbo been played by a middle aged paunchy home owner type. They went much too far in turning every dwarf into an action hero when they were nothing of the sort until the battle of five armies, till then...

I would also like to know more about these files as well as their names and locations. I played on p99 on and off for a couple of years and avoided the forums mostly because the battles fought there we not at all reflective of my gaming experience on that server aside from the permanent camping...
