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...

Good old doomslug

The 'black ciri' thing was all bullshit.

Seems like it shouldn't have any impact, that set was pretty much only used for flashbacks anyway, and they are presumably out of the park for next season.

I thought Skyward was really good, even by Sanderson standards.

Legends is like expendables and expendables 2 - tried to be serious and legit to start with, but realised that they are going to seem ridiculous anyway, so just embraced the crazy and went with it, becoming much more fun in the process.

Never seen teen titans, don't know anything about them other than complaining from this thread. This wasn't bad, certainly no Inhumans. Well, at least so far. Will watch more. I thought Greyson and the blue-haired girl (Rachel?) were good, the tiger and the mall-cop was pretty funny, and the...

Haven't been reading as many books recently, some branching out into other media types : From webtoon, which is basically regularly updated serial comics: "The Gamer" - this is pretty entertaining, but I guess you have to get used to the idea it's never going to be finished and just wander on...

That's the same problem - the reward is 'feral' even if you aren't.

It's fox, 4 eps and then cancellation.

Checking out a few this season : Goblin Slayer - good, will watch. Slayer taking the priestess with him probably counts somewhere between reckless endangerment and manslaughter though. Obviously the adventurer's guild staff aren't paid on commission - it's like a bunch of women's studies...

Maybe, but not necessarily, the TARDIS does have rooms full of women's clothes which presumably came from somewhere. I don't think any reason or motive was ever suggested for that, and it's a little surprising none of his female companions found that at all creepy ;p

Shalltear is the weakest(1st floor guardian) of them, and he only beat her by trickery and cheating his ass off* Yeah, the guild built Nazarick and designed the guardians, but they were for players to fight - he mentions that Sebas and the maids didn't get to fight anything because no players...

Finally got around to finishing off this season of Overlord. It was good fun - I am thinking Ains is kind of playing with fire by encouraging independent thought from his minions though - it's been a while, but aren't all the floor guardians raid bosses ? That's why it's the whole guild that are...

I'd say more 'holy shit that's expensive' rather than 'standard' for a tv series, given those 3 are like the most expensive tv series ever made ?

It was.. fine. New doctor was kind of bland, but seems fair to give her a few episodes to get into it. Companions were serviceable, story not particularly original, I did get a laugh out of the dude just hitting "yes" to the alien terms and conditions without reading them though.

Seems legit. If playing WoW had a minor chance of causing literal cancer, I suspect that a large proportion of the playerbase would just shrug ;p

Well, if you just made traits interesting like legendaries then you would just have constant tears because only being able to get them rarely from the weekly cache is retarded. So fixing that gives them some scope to make the traits useful. Of course, the obvious problem here is that every...

Infiltrator is grossly overpowered, I agree - should be self-only. Obvious non-stealthy things like playing music or taunting should also break stealth for obvious reasons. Rend wand should only work on single target spells, and conjuror's mark should only damage the creature it's on.

I think conjurer's mark is bugged - it seems to do an aoe explosion instead of just hitting the creature that has it.

There is a 99% chance that that is entirely deliberate - it works even better as an inside joke that way.

I agree, it really did sound like she had completely run out of fucks to give about the story.

To be honest that has a powerful reek of bullshit. "Oh we totally weren't changing anything, it's just with the totally flawless launch of BFA prod support had nothing to do so they decided to fix decade old tooltip inconsistencies by making the tooltips less accurate. Now that you mention it...

I was going to say what the fuck are you talking about, but then I realised you started with admitting you hadn't seen them. Fast & Furious stopped anything like car movies with 4, they are 100% legit action flicks, and 'big guns' are shot constantly through them.

I'd nitpick this one - there's a shitload of time passing between episodes - ep2 is a long time after ep1, and it's 2 years to next launch window, ep4 is 11 months to launch window, etc. In any case, I mostly agree with your points - this is only technically sci-fi, it's really just a bunch of...

This season was surprisingly funny.
