    Sherlock

    He has nothing to do with this season, too busy with Dr Who I assume.

    Orphan Black

    In all fairness, ruling that having children constituted patent violation in the case of EvilCorp vs Unemployed Single Mother would probably be the stupidest patent ruling that the Texas east district court has made.... but not by a lot

    Orphan Black

    I was a little bit annoyed that no-one on the writing staff knew what a patent was, so evidently didn't realise how stupid their big reveal looked. It wasn't *that* bad though.

    Tales of Maj'Eyal

    I offer a thumbs up on this one - IMO best of the roguelikes by far and well worth the $5 ;p IIRC it's still free if you want to try it out, the steam version is the supporter version with steam achievements and a few extras thrown in to encourage support.

    American Hustle

    I thought this was pretty boring for the first half, and the second half was ok. They talked Bale up a lot but did pretty much no demonstration of why he was a good conman, ironically Jeremy Renner was far more convincing as persuasive and charismatic ;p On the upside, Amy Adams spent most...

    That's one guy who is going to regret making his 'you'll never get away with this' rant so convincing ;p

    Strategery games.

    It depends what you are looking for - it's greatest weakness is probably that the AI is beyond useless. It has interesting and diverse units though, all of which you can level up and buff etc - you can get some MoM like fun out of uber buffing ridiculously powerful invisible flying liches and...

    John in the opening montage had one of the best 'angry beyond hope' appearances I have seen. Was a great episode.

    Doctor Who

    The chick in the first one didn't know there were billions of daleks surrounding gallifrey at the time presumably ;p From the pre-show clip about Arcadia, it was a total sneak attack on gallifrey, which they thought was impregnable. Was there any indication that the moment could kill all...

    Supernatural

    I dunno, he's trying, but I'm not really feeling it. Might be jaded from Enver in Dollhouse - that was downright fucking freakish ;p

    Doctor Who

    No, the bald guy is a war commander, timothy dalton was the president. Not everyone on Gallifrey is a time lord, only those able to gaze into the Time Vortex and survive - that's the one that drove the master crazy. I don't think it's covered whether non time-lords can regenerate - I'd...

    Doctor Who

    I'm pretty sure John Hurt is pretty much a drop-in replacement for Eccleston, because he wasn't interested in taking part. The story works pretty well with that in mind. I still would have liked to see more of the war to see how he got to the point of blowing everything up in despair - would...

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

    I think I didn't make my point clearly, I meant that the barbarian characters on the show spoke german on the show when they were first introduced, i.e. that all of them speaking english was not actually true to begin with.

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

    The slaves in spartacus speak whatever the romans speak, or they get the shit kicked out of them until they do ;p IIRC the barbarian guys all spoke german to start with.

    Almost Human

    What ? They stole the crate with the programmable DNA to make the anti-cop gas they used in the station assault. It had nothing to do with the previous one, the PTSD flashback was just triggered by a list of what other things the van had. Fembot got seized as evidence, and they want her back...

    Yeah, I just re-ran that a couple of times to try and work out what she said, without much success - it's definintely 'Be......nature' but the bit in the middle isn't clear.

    Not validating that buy requests come from the person doing the buying ? Security genius ! Think of the processing time they save by not validating their inputs. Of course, given their most widely publicized exploit prior to this involved them not validating the item ids on stuff you were...

    Lol, that just makes it even funnier - unpaid FEMA truck drivers showing up - ok guys, the last 16 guys to do this delivery route got murdered, but you should be fine. Escort ? No, sorry, the cops won't go into that area.

    Doctor Who

    GI Joe was 4 years after his spot on who. I'm not sure the whole 'seduced by hollywood bigtime' conspiracy theory actually holds up very well. Is it really so unimaginable that he was telling the truth, and that he'd leave because he didn't like the people he was working with ?

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Yeah, Steelheart was really good, if not Way of Kings level good - a bit too predictable and there are a lot of logical problems with Steelheart's secret weakness were my main gripes. Redemption was good, but it's basically a story fragment, doesn't really go anywhere or conclude anything...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    No, in many cases it is flat out incorrect - not 'this 'area' is bigger than it looks' or 'it might show up there and somewhere else as well', but having the creatures you need directly under a different area marker on the opposite side of the zone. On the bright side, at least I didn't find any...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Paladin vs Warrior seems the same kind of setup as WoW DK vs Pal to me - Pal gets 20% damage reduction and chance to block, War gets 25% extra hp and the ability to create damage shields as part of their combo. That could easily swing either way depending on player damage relative to hp at 50...

    I did marauder and glad to 20, tanking the three starter dungeons a fair bit on both. Survivability seemed pretty similar for the two of them, marauder skills were significantly more interesting, cycling the aoe cone, 2 hit chain that buffs damage, dot etc. Gladiator on boss mobs on the other...

    Nah, expect health percentage based specials from new bosses I think. Possibly partial damage reflect as well.
