This is absolutely true - Shun is a lackey, not a leader though, so ingrained habit of doing what he's told makes it plausible I guess.

The Starfighter Invitation - Andrea K. Höst The launch of a ground-breaking new MMO with breathtaking scope stuns a lot of gamers when it turns out to be even better than the ridiculously hyped previews. As people explore the game, they begin to become suspicious that the game is actually...

The DLC are almost all worth it in some way or another, but they don't all add to each game. Like the robots one lets you play robots, but doesn't do much if you aren't. Utopia has some fun end-game stuff and Leviathans adds some entertaining mid-game space monsters. I'd probably get base...

"Couldn't get it to work, just crashed endlessly when I launched it, so I refunded it" is a valid review though.

Looks like my kind of thing. Video bumps it up to an easy purchase.

"... guys, I cannot stress enough how much I do not give a shit". "Oh."

Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadow of the Apt series probably counts. Hmm, looking through my library I see : Flash Gold, Lindsay Buroker New Amsterdam, Elizabeth Bear Emperor's Edge, Lindsay Buroker* * This one is labelled steampunk but I am not sure it counts for reasons that are a spoiler.

The guy isn't a software developer, he's a creative director. That's why it's interesting news to me anyway - from my perspective almost all of BFAs issues are in game design, not in any technical implementation or art.

"Ohhh - why didn't you say so ?' Haha.

"We realize some players don't like the taste of the shit sandwiches we give them, but our scientists* are hard at work on a way to make shit taste like chocolate. In the meantime you can always ask someone else to share their sandwich with you" *Not real scientists

It's physical brain degeneration that could be anywhere - you can't exactly start randomly cutting bits out to look for it.

I agree, although I'll give them credit for trying something different - becoming a strong, confident woman and kicking the shit out of abuser arguably makes things worse, which isn't something you see very often.

Eh ? Disney owns the rights to all of those shows, netflix is renting them off them. Disney can just up prices until the shows are no longer profitable, or just make it clear that the rights renewing is not going to happen, no matter how much they pay. Netflix cancelling profitable shows...

I think the mistake was more assuming that just because MTG could get away with a greedy as fuck pricing scheme 20 years ago, that that means they can get away with the same thing now. Pretty much the same mistake a bunch of 'WoW killers' made, just because *someone* succeeded enough to get...

Entirely apart from assuming the mechanism, this doesn't seem likely. You wouldn't 'just be them' if you have your own memories, and attitudes and behaviors seems a particularly big stretch. Even if you suddenly find that dick is attractive, it doesn't mean you are going to go out and suck them...

Eh, I liked the first episode. The Noah doctors are obviously the dumbest motherfuckers alive though - they are the kind of experts that were too dumb to make the cut for the crew of the Prometheus.

Meh, that's overly simplistic - it's not like Pirates of the Caribbean or Transformers had some complicated cerebral story. It's a fair point that the visuals are a significant part of the appeal of anime, and really don't transfer over at all. That being said though, comic book movies have...

Discord's Apple - Carrie Vaughn I got this one ages ago and only just got around to it. It's setup is actually kind of like warehouse 13, where a storeroom of legendary items is kept by some particular guardians. Although, in this case, they are keeping the items for some specific time when...

That makes it worse, if it was actually a mass issue they could just take all the kids then people by weight rather than an arbitrary number. Plus, the shuttle ceasing to work instead of moving more slowly when overloaded requires some serious handwaving. Face it, it was just a half-assed...

Shield Hero : seems good so far. That chick clearly wants the dick pretty desperately to come up with all of that on the spur of the moment. Boogiepop : Hmm, didn't really grab me. Has some potential though I guess.

The hottest girl in my high school class was actually called Michael, but spelled Mykal or something like that. It was weird, but eh.

Gridman was ok, I ended up watching all of it. I don't get the love though.

Wow, that episode was almost as subtle as someone smashing you over the head with a sledgehammer while screaming the moral at you. There are 'Drugs are BAD kids !' after-school specials that are embarrassed on the behalf of the writers.

Seems a weird idea - Waver was only in fate/zero to show how a kid with guts and determination actually does against a bunch of seasoned experts. He's also pond scum as a person, any redeeming qualities were a reflection of how awesome Rider was.

I thought this was interesting enough to finish it. Not amazing quality, but boobs make up for a number of shortcomings. Amusingly, while the show Siren is about mermaids, this show isn't about mermaids, but about sirens.

Hey, she has noone but herself to blame if she decides both her husband and her boss aren't up to her current standards ;p

I like that it's overall pretty constructive. He's building up his village and minions, improving their quality of life etc, rather than just running around randomly beating up stuff. He's also generally a decent guy, where anime heroes have a tendency to be completely insufferable. Slime and...

Stop undermining the war effort traitor ! Next you will be claiming that strip mining islands for azerite to 'stop the damage caused by mining it' doesn't make any sense.

The monetization model was too greedy for me, especially given it's effectively pvp only, but I've been keeping an eye on it because the gameplay looked interesting. It seems to have cratered super hard though. Artifact - Steam Charts Yikes.

I thought it was ok - the plot and characters weren't great, but the setting was very original. The set pieces with the cities were great. The central premise was ludicrous nonsense ( the mining city being a week of fuel for london ? haha, maybe if it was converted directly to energy ) but it...

I really liked this one. I've never seen anything quite like it - the way they just went with a heap of different animation styles at the same time with zero fucks given was really unique. I had one very minor complaint thinking about it afterwards

You either have a really, really weird idea about what 'beached whale' means, or you are sitting on the papparazi find of the century.

I can't believe they fucked up pet battles in 8.1 - how hard can it be to just leave them the fuck alone when they are working ? ;p

He was talking about the guy that got shanked in the basement prison - it was the spy that she gave up to lower suspicion earlier in the episode.

They both spend most of the day at work, and they can't really get anyone to watch her without raising suspicion.

Gee, who could have seen that coming. I am shocked I tell you ;p Sadly, this info probably won't make the slightest bit of difference due to the derpiness that pervades big business, where it's better to burn it to the ground than to let someone else 'win'.

Wait what ? MoO2 ends with conquering Antarres - if you have the military to do that, you can just do it - if you don't, you certainly haven't 'won' already. Entirely apart from that, this entire line of thinking is vaguely ridiculous to me anyway - it's like saying 'Well, I'm inevitably going...

I've read a few of the ones in discussion recently, so may as well do another roundup. Skyward - Brandon Sanderson I really enjoyed this one - story is about the beaten down remnants of humanity hiding in caves on the crumbling remains of a heavy industry world, fighting a losing battle...
