To be fair Borallus has a terrible design as well, they just gave up on it and shoved everything you would expect to see in a city on the docks and called it a day. The rest of the city is pretty freaking huge and largely wasted.

Of the seven kingdoms really only Dorne is left in a state where its reasonably okay. The North got fucked by ice zombies, the Iron Islands got triple or quadruple fucked by infighting, the Riverlands got ravaged several times during the course of all the wars, the stormlands got wrecked by...

In rewatching the scene where the bells sound the surrender I think I understand a bit more of how they envisioned the character motivation. Note that Dany looks angry as she's sitting on Drogon's back after having blasted a ton of shit but once the bells start to ring she gets REALLY pissed...

In retrospect they should have just let her have the coffee...

Dany has been headed in this direction for awhile. She did raise a good point about how the people fo Kings Landing, unlike the other cities she liberated, didn't really do much to take on Cersei even after she blew up the Sept of Baelor etc. Much of this is on Bran who set all this up with...

Well. The cinematography was excellent as were the choices for very in-the-thick-of-it points of view. If you are going to have the city blown the fuck up, that's the way to do it. There still seemed to be a decent quantity of wildfire tucked away around the city judging by the burst of...

They are never going to stop fucking with FitzSimmons...

Fan film space battle. Not half bad, especially gets my vote because of the end shot (my favorite ship)

I expect tonight's episode will be batshit crazy on at least some level. Taking bets on just how bonkers it will be. Might have a bingo card for viewing party.

It was a super fun game at launch but I eventually got to the point where I couldn't move forward in the storyline. I'll have to start over now, it's been long enough and my memory is Swiss cheesed enough that I should have fun.

You know what? He may be a Bond Villain but I trust Bezos to get shit done far more than I trust any government (with the possible exception of China). Nothing he is proposing is radical from a technology or invention standpoint, but its been completely out of reach of NASA and ESA due to how...

Yeah I dunno about the rest of you but as I read DoD I kept saying "who the fuck cares? Get on with it!" at every other chapter.

This comes back tonight!

I had forgotten about her. Yeah the council cameos were top notch. I suppose Taika and Jermaine can pretty much speed-dial whatever they want these days.

I had totally forgotten this....

Saw that Cengage and McGraw-Hill are now merging. US education groups McGraw-Hill and Cengage announce an all-stock merger Looked at the financials and it would seem that Cengage is treading water which is amazing in that industry as everyone else is sinking like a rock. I'm using a Cengage...

Well there might have been at one point, but the books now are (besides late) so chock full of characters that I doubt they even have time for the Song of Ice and Fire part of the story.

The uptick in magic level was a huge part of the novels (where the red comet has been seen much more than the 15 second or so we saw it in season 3 or whatever) and with that some flavor of 'its a new age' type of crossroads added to the epic nature of the story. After all without all the...

Tencent’s new alternative to PUBG is already topping the revenue chart – TechCrunch Oh China you so crazy

So the raid will drop GS 500 items? Well what the hell. I suppose the raid will have the new set which may be nice enough as a GS 500 to warrant using over the existing stuff and/or some more ideally min/maxed items but overall that seems like a weaksauce cop out if the raid is at all challenging.

I am starting to wonder if we will actually get a real ending. There needs to be the sort of 'aint no coming back from this' sort of ending that cements things in place versus just being the status quo until some other claimant to the throne / whatever comes along. Irrespective of the whole...

Note that the release schedule solidifies the shift in the start of the Summer Movie season. For the longest time it was Memorial Day that kicked things off and then it ran to Labor Day. In more recent years we've seen big blockbusters released earlier and earlier until now we see that May 1st...

For more Matt Berry fun check out IT Crowd seasons 2+ or the aforementioned Garth Marenghis Dark Place. The former is on Netflix, the latter only you tube piracy.

This really was quite exceptional. I'm impressed by what they did with this.

I'd actually be more forgving if Qyburn had used some magic in making the things as the world is really really low fantasy when it comes to magical stuff.

Disney's commitment to the Avatar pentad is commendable given that no one fucking cares about Avatar at this point. Seriously Avatar 2 will have to be the second coming of amazing 3D and cinematic bliss in order for people to have any desire to go see it.

That was very much a 'fuck, who needs gunpowder / cannons??' moment. I guess also Qyburn should be thought of as the smartest man in Westeros given the various magical and engineering miracles he's performed.

Renewed! Yay!

They also could be doing that 'always darkest before the dawn' redemption arc where the hero is sorely tempted to compromise their moral center but manages to rekindle their spirit or whatever at the end.

Sony is not dumb. They have their wagon hooked to the MCU gravy train and aren't about to endanger that sort of lucre flowing their way. Disney is in the driver's seat here from a revenue point of view but they really need Spiderman to flesh out the narrative portion now that Iron Man and Cap...

Saw the mass market Hasbro action figures at Target yesterday. Not nearly as big a display as the Fortnite section, but still substantial. For a kid of the 80s who grew up with Star Wars / G.I. Joe / Transformers / Masters of the Universe the idea of gaming being the source IP for an action...

Where's that nano tech in non-super hero applications? At least Wakandan tech is fairly ubiquitous in their city, why wouldn't Stark have been making at least some bank off this stuff or at the very least providing it to first responders etc.

Watched it. Was standard disaster movie fare. Have to immediately suspend disbelief at the entire premise as well as everything even remotely 'science' in the whole movie, but it was enjoyable enough to sit through. Worst part was that it stretched out what was essentially a pretty tight...

Clone Wars and Rebels proves that storytelling is very much alive and well in Lucasfilm... The Mandalorian looks great and even Resistance, while on a very slow burn, is starting to come around as a pretty in-depth piece with a lot of great characterization. Get Dave Filoni to take over the...

I love that people are now talking about the Bucky Paradox inasmuch as they reference 'Hot Tob Time Machine'. Since Sebastian Stan was in that movie does that mean that there's a Sebastian Stan in the MCU along with Bucky?

When he was first cast a bunch of us said "wow...this is bad. He works as Johnny Storm, not Captain America". Very glad to have been proven wrong. Hell at this point Chris Evans IS Captain America in a way that will be with him for the rest of his life.

Ahh the good old days when you could have a cross dressing character without it being a hate crime...

I have a sneaking suspicion that whether by Lord of Light or Drowned God that Rhaegal is not as dead as everyone seems to think he is. It would fit with their tendency towards Deus ex Machina to have another different resurrected dragon show up. Regardless him getting shot out of the sky in...

Been having fun with this. The cadence of the missions is certainly a departure from the pacing of Diablo, but it's kinda nice to have something you can fire up and know you have a max 5 min chunk of content. Be interesting to see what their longer term plans are with respect to content...
