No. After an interesting start, the rest of the season meandered around going nowhere then ended on a pointless cliffhanger which will never be resolved when it is inevitably cancelled. The two leads have almost negative chemistry. Aster sacrificing anything at all for the guy was literally...

It's an interesting line of thinking though - I wouldn't have thought of Ender's game as a litrpg, if for no other reason than it pre-dates the genre by 30 years or more, but with how sprawling litrpg has become you could make an argument for it. The amount of number-go-up isn't really all that...

After the first 3 episodes, I like this better than s1, and I thought S1 was pretty good. The extended team work play off each other really well, action is good and story is interesting. Occasionally lols too, Robert Patrick's reaction to the Terminator joke was great.

Never played it, but looks interesting, may check it out when I have some free time. At a tenth the cost of starfield, it would have to be reaaaaaly bad to be a tenth as good as starfield ;p

Bold choice on the high ranking for Shadow over Mystara, but I respect that - only very technically an rpg, it was still a hell of a lot of fun.

Moffat is like the canonical example of the Peter Principle - he was a fantastic writer, but then he got promoted into positions he was increasingly worse at until he ended up with a job he was really bad at.

Dude does a lot of things well, but he writes female characters like the only exposure he's had to real women is watching anime. It's not like he doesn't know that though, so it doesn't detract from the story much.

That.. wasn't too bad by Dr Who standards really. "You get a happy ending ! You get a happy ending ! Everyone gets a happy ending !" is a bit disconcerting when applied to existing storylines with bittersweet endings. It's like the writers are pissing on other people's stories to mark their...

Nah, they were actually pretty much that dumb ;p Fair point that the show's version was lacking a lot of 'OOOOH FUCK RUN RUN RUN' that probably happened in the real one.

Eh, it was still an alright book despite the tonal and structural problems IMO. 'It was nowhere near as good as Cradle' is a position that I doubt anyone would argue with though.

What the fuck was that

There's seems to have been boatloads of nerfs they didn't list in the patch notes that apply in Honor mode, like changing haste back to the 5E version, not letting warlock/paladin extra attack stack, removing damage rider bonuses from almost everything etc.

It seems unlikely, the urobutcher was the main thing that made it good ( hence S3 ), although checking what he's been up to recently, he appears to have a writing credit for a pyscho-pass movie from this year ? So maybe. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26224944

Special was ok other than being painfully preachy. I was a little amused they kind of painted themselves into a corner where standard preachy strategies make them look stupid I can't help but think their workshopping of stuff went something like : "You would never think of it because you're a...

Strangely enough, that's actually a pretty good place to be for this one. Mostly because creating effective OP builds from scratch requires literally hundreds of hours of study of obscure mechanics as well as extensive testing of exactly how those particular mechanics are implemented in game...

Kelly's only wealth would be inherited Helios shares from her mother ? I don't think you can tell from that - we don't know what her split is, only that she and Dev combined don't have a controlling interest and need to convince a long list of other investors to get a majority.

You can't really pull something with a rocket though - the exhaust hits whatever you are pulling, which pushes it away from you.

The asteroid isn't solid; if you push it too hard from one side, it will spread out, and the center of mass will change. The cables are to try and make it hold the same shape while being pushed. Goatface has got the real point there though - the asteroid just coincidentally being stably...

Just finished up A Journey of Black and Red - started it ages ago, but it was slow going at first as the early chapters were kind of overwrought prose that reminded me of an Annie Rice knockoff. It got a lot better after that, with the author getting into more his own style and became pretty...

Probably sensible - I was hopeful at the start where time to first giant monster fight was like 10 seconds, but after that the rest of the first episode was just talking and family drama with some flashbacks to godzilla movies.

This season has been ok, but that last episode was legitimately great. Evil Morty is clearly best Morty.

Glad this is back, with a pretty good first episode too. Sure you can make fun of them for it, but I like the attitude of hope and vision of human progress. There's a place for bitter cynicism and dark nihilism, and it isn't in goddamn everything, which it appears to be these days. Ed being in...

I watched the first episode and I think it's safe to say that I didn't 'get it'. Is it actually meant to be a comedy ? There was some vague amusement at cuck roleplay with a vibrator, but nothing I'd actually point out as funny.

I thought premiere of this was pretty good. On the downside, loool at the beacon being a literal lighthouse that shines a light for incoming spaceships. On the upside, I like the mystery type setup, the story is interesting so far and Cersei is greatly amusing as

At that point you are wandering a bit off actual mathematics into more philosophical territory. In the conventional interpretation of the many worlds theory, it would be because any universe in which people spontaneously turning into ducks was likely, would be so different from the Invincible...

No, the opposite - the set of universes where he remains human will be larger than the set of universes where he turns into a duck in proportion to how likely he was to turn into a duck in the first place ( unbelievably unlikely ).

No, that's not how it works. Infinity is not equal to infinity, it's not a number, you can't do arithmetic on it. Consider that your argument applies to anything, leading to nonsensical results like 'Mark either spontaneously turns into a duck or he doesn't, it's a binary choice, both are...

6/10 Fun movie, with some decent originality in action sequences, but wanders off into crazy-town about halfway through ( dat Bollywood planet, wtf ). Kamala character was great, very genuine, and actually having fun in the movie, which is rare these days. Samuel Jackson has clearly...

Blindsight certainly isn't a fun book ( it is pretty damn depressing), nor is it an easy read. No shame in not liking it. That said I found it very thought provoking in a way that's surprisingly relevant to the current times - it's main theme is an exploration of what intelligence means and...

No, no he is not ;p He was found guilty on all of like 300 years worth of charges.

Ok, for a super basic example - There's an infinite amount of numbers right ? There's also an infinite amount of numbers that end in zero. If you pick a number at random, what are the chances that the number you picked ends in zero ? It's still going to be 10%, even though there are an...

What ? Of course there is. For example, there's an infinite number of integers, the majority of which aren't prime. See infinite sets. Infinity is a concept, not a number, you can't do basic arithmetic operations like infinity - infinity = 0.

I was surprised, and then immediately wondered why I was surprised, because obviously that was what was going to happen ;p This was pretty fun overall. It didn't end up having any actors on the par with the boys, but it was consistently entertaining.

This was so bad. It's almost painfully generic, made up entirely of poor imitations of scenes from other, better, movies. Its only spark of originality is the gratingly overdone performance of the family that makes them into a bunch of caricatures.

Mechanically, combat is relatively similar to D:OS2, but the combat is not why it's getting overwhelmingly positive reviews. It's more the extraordinary attention to detail in like, everything. If you chant 'la-la-la can't hear you', while slamming on the skip key as you run from encounter to...

Pluto seems pretty good, if kind of slow ( only 3 ep in, will reserve judgement on that for finish ). Having competent dual audio is kind of interesting - I generally prefer the JP audio, but in this one almost none of the characters are japanese, and not a single one of the japanese voice...

It was fun, but nothing at all made any sense about their big 'gotcha', or even the season as whole really. Think about it - Prince acquires Axe capital in a hostile takeover to spite Axelrod, and then immediately puts all of his own money into their main fund to be run by dubiously ethical...

I thought this was ok, but kind of stumbled on the last episode. There's also a huge continuity problem in the first episode that I assumed was time travel related somehow, but appears not to be. ( She finds the body while on duty in full gear, but by the time her boss gets there she is in...

I figure it's like someone rating McDonalds 5/10 after going over 100 times - 'would not recommend, but at least it's affordable and open at 3am'. I agree that life's too short to spend 270 hours playing a 5/10 but there's plenty of reasons people would do so.
