    True Detective

    It's clich? central really, but I am absolutely fine with it. It's like a serious version of Inherent Vice! There is some comedy though: "You're supposed to savor that..." "Let me try again!". I also greatly enjoyed the "who are these fuck ups" looks that were exchanged once the trio was assembled.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    She is punished not because Meryn was not deserving to die, she is punished because it was a personal vendetta when she is supposed to no longer have personal anything.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Wasn't it V that had some jaw dropping mode 7 cut scenes? My google-fu failed me... I remember a female character going in some sort of trance and flying around the world or something... was that in VI? I played them once and more than 20 years ago, so yeah...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I have personally little interest in replaying FFVII if it is just updated visually, so I welcome these Nomura quotes with cautious optimism, but I guess others could feel differently:The Final Fantasy VII Remake Wont Be Exactly the Same

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    PS1 emulation on PS3 is absolutely atrocious when it comes to visuals. I am not sure if it's because of the way they emulate the graphic processor or if it's a CRT vs LCD problem or both, but anything polygonal craps the bed and the aliasing is insane. I recently played through Chrono Cross and...

    E3 2015

    I just want to say that Neir was a deeply flawed game, but, refreshingly, it was also packed full of original ideas and strange mixes of game genre. A very odd and fascinating game.

    Shenmue III

    The comparison with GTAIII is not so good. There really is no equivalent to the madness that is Shenmue. There are some elements of it you can find in other games before and after it, but the whole package is pretty much unique to it. Its core idea is to make a realistic world with a...

    E3 2015

    The main problem with Tactics Ogre is that you can probably play it for 10,000 hours and still be trying to complete some obscure side quests that provides resolution for the 47th character, but only if you beat that battle in 3 rounds, that one using only dragons and a third one where N?47 must...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That immolation by fire scene really did not work for me, because, for some reason, it reminded me of an execution scene in a (great) egyptian movie titled Destiny (Al Massir) by Youssef Chahine. In Chahine's film, he showed the victim melting down in the purest tradition of horror films (wax on...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Since it's the continuation of a popular serie by an established author and, to my knowledge, they don't release these simultaneously in different languages, I would assume the final version of the text can be obtained very late in the publishing process. Once they have a narrow'ish window for...

    Virtual Reality

    For most sports, the coverage a 'multi-camera + replays' TV broadcast offers is better than being at the event in person. The only benefit of being at the event is... being at the event! So it feels to me this VR coverage design really is the worst of both worlds: worse coverage and worse...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I don't find that particularly outrageous that a sociologist, when presented with the potential of space colonization, instead of being all starry-eyed, asks: "Ok, but with what kind of society?" A lawyer would probably wonder about things like jurisdiction and a philosopher about the purpose of...

    Day 14! I feared the end of the Murray vs Djokovic match would last 12 points, but it did not. Starting at 3-3, there was zero room for observation or a slow start and both leapt out of the starting blocks. Djokovic was regal behind his serve, getting free points and taking care of any meek...
