    The Good Wife

    I really enjoyed latest episode, mostly because it's pure lawfirm drama. I'm not a fool, The Good Wife is a mediocre TV show with few good actors / situations and most fillers are poorly written. Now, I like its meta writing, where Alicia is basically making its own choice to get off of Will's...

    The Blacklist

    The main problem is you're delusionally trying to find sense in a show where FBI is the modern days Gestapo, every event is a family matter where every character has convenient connections, top tier wanted criminals make deals because they wear fine tailored suits with fedoras and L'Oreal female...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Show's stabilizing at 7m viewers anyway, which is kinda bad when you're in ABC primetime. Most likely scenario is they'll shift the show on weekend grid before season finale.

    Homeland

    Can't help but find flaws in this show : teen drama is underwhelming (usual cliche about fugitive getting gas on a shop where their portraits are on tv), Saul getting fucked was obvious especially when he's the only ranked CIA manager knowing about Carrie's double agent deception (Quinn doesn't...

    Boardwalk Empire

    I really liked the BOI briefing scene, in my opinion it really depicted well how BOI agents were clueless at the time about organized crime. Some of them public servants were even admiring these gangsters livelihood. I think we'll discover soon why "Agent Knox" has a hardon about mobsters. About...

    So I sense a disturbance from Wildstar forums activity, is that a sign ?

    Homeland

    Granted they're more interested about CIA's latest strike against them than putting Carrie within their ranks on a regular basis, but in my opinion it would be quite stupid trying to flip a disgraced CIA analyst with a mental illness history. If CIA can't trust her anymore, I doubt terrorists...

    Homeland

    Except she's not vulnerable, she's a liability. Being mentally ill and not taking your medication is a permanent threat for any spy / terrorist groups having you on payroll. I know it's rather a question of opinion there, but to me it just doesn't add up. Sometimes it's not all about realism...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I agree with you, that's why nowadays most online games can be labelled as "MMORPG". The word, as coined by Garriott for UO if I remember correctly, doesn't really define a genre anymore in 2013, in my opinion.

    Hey Scooter I have some questions for the day : - How do Carbine feel about the overuse of cooldowns on core abilities in recent MMOs ? Some would say it's a a lazy way of making people press different buttons when you can't design interesting combat mechanics and situational class abilities...

    While it's debatable each time there is a videogame genre discussion around, I'd say you might have struggle finding for roleplaying elements in Call of Duty.

    How about thousands of 10 people groups playing the same game ? Would that be massively multiplayer enough ?

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Anyway the show ratings has gone from 12m (series premiere) to 7m as of yesterday, looks like bad acting and cheesy writing aren't doing their job, even on ABC.

    Again, thank you. Now that we've established mutual confidence, exclusive trust and maybe love interest, let's ask questions you probably can't answer : When is CBT4 and will there be CBT wave invites ?

    Homeland

    Well Carrie didn't really want to play the long game after all (tell Saul I give up). Maybe the hospital scenes were their way to show faking was too hard on her. Or maybe it's just a terrible Shyamalan twist. I have to rewatch the first three episodes now.

    Thanks for your answer. I have a question about 20man / 40man raids : could we expect aflexible raidsfeature (where the instance adapt its content to the number of players in it) like the one released in WoW's latest patch ? Managing a 40man raid has proven to be quite challenging and tiresome...

    Man of Steel

    (I don't like comics) So I watched Man Of Steel in good home conditions (55'LED and quite decent homecinema setup, DTS-HD and such). Well, that was a good movie. I mean fight scenes were ass-kicking, DTS-HD sound mixing was impressive and there were some really nice movie shots. To be honest...

    Homeland

    The only reason they (poorly) deal with previous seasons is that Howard Gordon kinda jumped the ship, and now it's all about Chip J. being the showrunner, yesmanning anything towards Emmy acting performances (bald Brody Vs crazy Carrie just when BB is over, oohhh). Story wise it doesn't make any...

    Well it's Sutter's universe, when realism / coherence is hidden under the rug.
