    The Witcher

    I get the earlier comment about the Polish guy commenting about crying "tears about blood". It probably seems awesome if you had never read the books and would be bewildered if you started reading them after seeing the show. Season 1 was recognizable at least to the books. Seasons 2 you will...

    The Witcher

    I am kind of shocked to here so many people so unabashedly enjoyed it. Just got done watching it and maybe I need time to digest it, I guess but maybe all I am just shocked by how much they changed from the book. Forget the obvious things, like Djstrikas casting (he's a underwear model?), it...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    I think Garfield was the most "Stan Lee"/comic accurate of all the Spider Men(?); put another way, of all the actors who have played Spider Man, his was most like the comic. He also had the worst villains, a diffident Peter, and the least appealing overall setting of all three attempts at the...

    It's the next "Second Life"!!! Remember how much money everyone made from that?@! Seriously, fuck these ponzi scheme scammers. I get they're in business to make money and I defend that but its an exchange of value not an attempt to extract as much money from "customers" as possible, Horse...

    Playstation 5

    Its not XBL Gold but even if you only pick up the occasional free game its worth it. I have a ton of great games I would have probably bought that I eventually snagged for free from it. It always pays for itself. I don't even remember why I started getting it. Multiplayer or something back in...

    Eternals (2021)

    NOTE: I haven't seen the movie yet, only read a synopsis. So I was reading somewhere and this came up, I read what is a major spoiler for this movie and you have got to be fucking kidding me. Fuck Marvel and this movie in their stupid asses. I was a little pissed when they made the Kree out...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    We're going far afield here but I would have like Fury Road more if it had been a little more of a Mad Max movie and little less of a Furiosa movie. He felt sidelined in his own movie to me somewhat. It wasn't the end of the world and it was still pretty good but Miller was spinning the dial...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    No way. Black Software Lives Matter! Seriously, they aren't going to make a POC the villain. They didn't cast Lawrence Fishburne because its a action role and he is, ehum, in less than action shape these days, IIRC.

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    The Force Awakens was a complete Soft Reboot, almost to the exact beat. 21Jump Street/It/Godzilla/Dredd are more or less "remakes", new movies with the same source material; most are outside of the window I specified, though. Mandalorian is completely new. Everything about this so far screens...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    I loved The Matrix as well. Let's ask a different question: Has any soft-reboot in the last 6 years not sucked? There is a whole post of examples upthread where they grudge-fucked member-berries and Cleveland-Steamered them before stealing cab fare on the way out. Will they do the same thing...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Just accept that everything new is going to suck as a baseline because the people that make things have gone Weimar crazy post 2016 and their idea factory is broken. Like in Warhammer 40k, they can't make new things and can only copy/corrupt older better ideas. "Subverting Expectations" is...

    New World

    I can't recall any other game limiting access to content with consumable orbs/tokens like this. It has to be one of the most bone-headed decisions in NW design. "I know: Let's put a grind in your grind so you can grind."

    Arcane

    Looking back, the Scrapping of Titan into Overwatch really feels like the true beginning of the end for Blizzard. Let's see if Riot can roll forward as a Gaming entity into what Blizzard failed to achieve.

    This is the classic Dev flapping cycle: "people are running out of things to do!" "I know, let's make everything take longer!" Not considering that everyone who is looking for things to do has already done the stuff you are now adding extreme grind to, and people just getting there know this...

    How confident the world has taught some women to be when really they are relying on their genitalia and the simps who desire them. The bitter irony of feminism, which has died a death much like that of the color-blind society, living out its last gasps as a mirror image of what the rosy-glassed...

    New World

    The issues this game has all stem back to the inexperience or failure to learn from past MMO disasters by the Dev team. This looks like a dozen or so MMO launches where the team doesn't know what the fuck they are doing, the Company is green as shit, the QA process is either non-existent or...

    There is no doubt that in their exclusives, Sony/PS has carved out a fantastic niche. So many great games there. I need to go back and check a few more off that list. I also wanted to play Godfall and held off, thankfully. Free is better cushion for disappointment. I also got Returnal a...

    Finally have a holiday week off and we binged this today. 1st season is great, and 2nd season is good but to me you can tell they are looking to catch lightning in a bottle again and recapture some of that magic. I thought overall S2 was weaker than I expected; I just thought they would have...

    Its a Port Wine Stain birthmark, for those of you who didn't wish to Google. God bless the folks affected by this. Basically, its a genetic syndrome where blood vessels, particularly in the face (although it can affect other areas), don't turn off. Gorbachev's mark was a Port Wine Stain...

    When I made my vote I didn't read your list, and I can see where from an administrative/forum drama perspective Folgers causes much more "activity" for the Admins. Mudfoot's mean-spirited Jerkdom is ever-present and to me more fitting but I understand your reasoning. Note that in that...

    The plot "twist" must have been a surprise. LOL. I saw this when it came on Cable/HBO/Showtime back when movies played like 10 times a day. I was expecting this regular 80's movie, and it definitely didn't turn out to be that. Sci-fi seemed to have more broad horizons, or it was just a more...
