    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It has familiar mechanics and tropes, draped in a pretty dress, with enough final fantasy references to tweak the nerdstrings of many a gamer. That's enough for me and apparently many other people, at least in the short term.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    Allusions to the first movie were made in an effort to solidify why Spock is friends with Kirk and dating Uhura. But I will agree wholeheartedly that this movie lacked the one thing that makes us care, legitimate characters who behave (within the bounds of the movie) as real people in that...

    Jesus, for a bunch of nonconformist asshats, some of you girls get your panties in a bunch over a word many of you sling around like a used Tenacious D cumrag. Yeah, I said American Inventor. Yes, in a way that was in no way illuminating or even humorous. Yes, I understand the tortured history and...

    Breaking Bad

    The way the tape played to me was that it WAS a confession, wrapped up in a big ball of blackmail. The way Walt emphasized the word "Hank" several times right before describing something that he (Walt) had done. It was like a big "fuck you, here's all the shit I've done, Hank" but using Hank's...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    I guess my problem with it is they got the action down to a science but the science (and plot) seemed amateur. It didn't FEEL like star trek. And yes, trek suffers from diarrhea of the mouth sometimes, but the idealism, the subtext, is the point. They made a capable, slam-bang sciency action...

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    This is my question. Damon is clearly a good nerd, but his scripts have always been...iffy at best.

    Dexter

    I was really hoping that Quinn set Zach up and has been hiding in plain sight as a serial killer for all these seasons. This would have redeemed this season in my eyes.

    Breaking Bad

    It looked to me like, for a second, Walt remembered who he was before he (if you'll forgive the phrase) broke bad.

    No better shows have ever existed than Seinfeld or X-files.

    Firefly was an amazing show and a nice stick up the chocolate starfish for the haters.

    All that crap that's messed up, from the 3102 that I got for a day and a half, to not being able to progress in my story from the dungeons fucking up to long server maintenance times, I am such an MMO vet that I should be livid and swearing I'll never play this shite again. Instead, I've got...

    World's End

    I liked Hot Fuzz more than Shaun of the Dead, which is not to say I didn't love SOTD cause I so did. I'm going to fill a flask with whiskey and go see this movie. Edgar Wright can do no wrong, to me. I didn't give a shit about Scott Pilgrim, never read the webcomic and really enjoyed the...

    I vehemently disagree with your 'much worse' statement. That's like saying because there's slightly less shit on your shoe, your shoe is less shitty. Shit is still shit and that song was SHIT. My wife still sings it to me at the top of her lungs when she's in her cups and wants to annoy me...

    No better shows have ever existed than Seinfeld or X-files.

    Since it was brought up, I will say that in my opinion, South Park is hands down the most spot-on, intelligent satire we've seen for a long time. Possibly since A Modest Proposal.

    Mine has said "working, please wait" for a couple of hours now. I'm afraid to close the window as it might eat my code and i'll have to deal with SE's customer service. *shudder*

    haha I'm with you, Krassus. Just entered the code and this thing is working harder than if it had been given a logic bomb from Captain Kirk. No confirmation yet, but I'm terrified of closing the window and having it eat my code...

    Fringe

    I liked the show but the main thing for me was Walter, and on occasion, Pacey, were the only characters I really cared about. The actors were fine, but the writing never really sold me the personalities of the characters like a Firefly or Breaking Bad seem to do so effortlessly. The show was...

    I already purchased the digital download collector's edition, but the reaction by SE to the 3102 and like errors kind of blew some of the goodwill they'd engendered. Still looking forward to playing though.

    This added to an utter lack of communication on SE's part makes me somewhat nervous. Albeit from the standpoint of having absolutely no idea what it takes to birth one of these games.

    Thanks for your support. This is akin to Sally Strothers doing African hunger relief commercials reclining on her mounds of Ding Dongs, you know. Also, 3102'ed since 2am. Sigh.

    Sounds like fun. My five-month-old has recently learned the joys of banging on the keyboard at inopportune times. So when I wipe the dungeon group because i jumped into the boss...it's probably not me. Probably.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    As a rule, anyone from the androgynous planet where Riker fell in love with that dude who had girl feelings. Also. it's my understanding that all waste material on a starship is reconstituted to use in the replicators. Given the amount of use of the holosuites, I'd imagine that gagh you're...

    Is the rerolled guild going to be available to everyone or only the more progressive-minded players? I generally suck at games and have a family which does not allow for any real poopsockery, but I'd love to be in the rerolled guild at the very least so if I make jokes about retarded people or...

    Orange Is the New Black

    Well, they started the show out with a shower in the prison. So they had me at hello. The characters are interesting enough and the writing is above average. I think it's a winner for Netflix and I enjoyed it for what it was. Not my favorite show on the telly, but a damn sight better than...

    I just started a character, Pysek Annatar, on the Marlboro server. I was hoping to join a shell or guild for rerolled. I suck as a player and generally as a person, but that being said, if anyone can toss me an invite, I'd appreciate it.

    Hannibal

    A big part of the appeal for me is that Fuller is taking his time. He's letting characters slow burn, which is anathema to so many current TV shows. It takes several episodes to really appreciate the creepy vibe that Mads is giving off, and just how close Will is to snapping his mind like a...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    And the idea that Roddenberry pitched them as the TNG crew's new main villains. Just..no. Once the DS9 writers decided to make the Ferengi analogous to the perceived worst of modern day humanity, they, well, humanized them, and they actually developed pretty well.

    Man of Steel

    In an ideal Hollywood world, which we all know after seeing the theatrical ending to I Am Legend is bullshit, they would pack the origin into about thirty minutes, maybe forty-five, and have the rest be coming out as Superman and Zod. That won't happen because they have too big of names as his...

    I'd rather watch a documentary on sculpting with cat shit on Netflix before watching Pimp My Son with Will Smith.
