    New World

    Have to agree with Shaky here. ESO combat may have a high skill ceiling but the actual movement of your character in combat, or just traveling around the world, is very "clunky". It just feels off. But I am judging that based on playing games like GW2 and BDO which have some of the best feeling...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Hated DS9 when it came out. Called it "Deep Space Slime". Hated the Bjorn losers, the ugly changelings, Kira, the boring space station and the lack of exploration. It was a blatant rip off of Babylon 5 and I hated that show too. Thought Voyager was better because it at least explored "strange...

    Star Trek: Picard

    In hind sight Enterprise isn't as bad as it seemed at the time. The first season of TNG is way worse. Enterprise did get a littler better, but it still didn't work for me. The cringe ratio was high.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Star Trek lost me after the first couple of episodes of Discovery season 2. Just too high of a cringe ratio (garbage / quality = infinity). But I was already half out of the door during Enterprise. As long as Kurtzman is at the helm, I'm not getting back on that ship.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Their engine definitely gives their games a unique feel. Which was just fine years ago when the other engine choices were not that much better. But the "clunkyness" of their engine doesn't fly in 2021. In fact it fucking sucks playing their games now when they all feel like quicksand compared...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    As a super casual WoW player, I didn't really have any major issues with Shadowlands. But it seemed like just more of the same and not very exciting after a month or so. I enjoyed classic much more during that time. Something definitely was lost since classic.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    There are a lot of people in life who hate everyone who tries to accomplish something in life. Most people are lazy and stupid, people who try make the lazy and stupid look bad. So the lazy and stupid endlessly attack people who try, in an attempt bring them down to the level of insipidness that...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    His point is that most of the posters here act like Pantheon is the only mmo (or game) that wasn't finished 10 minutes after it was announced. The excessive hyperbole from the criers here is kind of pathetic. But it's the internet, so par for the course.

    John Wick (2014)

    None of the movies are really that good. The acting is so so, the plot is predictable, etc. etc. But I fucking love them, and will throw money at the next one.

    King's Bounty II

    Got the originals on some sort of steam sale. Otherwise would never have tried it, didn't look like my type of game. But ended up playing them more than I want to admit. Something addictive about the first games, hopefully they can capture that again.

    Biomutant (Open World RPG, 5/25)

    Played a bit last night. It's not a bad game, not a great game, but I enjoyed the time. Might not be worth $60 but that's subjective, it definitely doesn't deserve the hate. The furry mutant apocalypse somehow works. My main complaint is that they could have done much more with the concept...

    Biomutant (Open World RPG, 5/25)

    Small studio can't afford to buy reviews and gets put to the grinder. Color me surprised. It may or may not be worth it, but I only listen to reviews from players (who don't get paid). Sounds like it's a small studio effort with a AAA price. Mileage will vary depending on what you expect from a...

    Black Desert

    Bdo has a ton of PvE content, way more than most people can realistically do. But it's not your traditional mmo with group dungeons and raids, etc.. If your main mmo game reference is WoW then BDO will feel quite alien. BDO has quests and you can grind mobs for xp. But that is a minor portion...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Never really understood the Tebow hate. He won games for the Doncos. And is just a winner in general. He's also a decent human being. The antipathy of the media and others towards people of faith is tiresome. I'm not a religious person, but give respect to those that are. Most of them are...

    New World

    GW2 definitely has a high skill ceiling. But it's not gear based. Getting the best gear is important but once you have it you are pretty much done. Gear doesn't reset after an expansion comes out. Different types of gear stats go in and out of vogue, so you sometimes have to farm new gear with...

    Midnight Run (1988)

    First movie I thought of when they said Grodin had passed. Fun movie, easy to watch, great chemistry. Pretty tired of De Weirdo, so I don't watch his movies much anymore. But I would watch this one again.

    Biomutant (Open World RPG, 5/25)

    Tired of the post apocalypse, hate furry animals, and never want to see another mutant again. But for some reason this game makes a cheap fuck like me want to buy it at full price. Just watched all of the steam videos. They did a great job on those. Hopefully the game is just as good. Steam...

    New World

    Cash shops are not the reason AAA mmos are a rarity these days. It has more to do with the cost / time of developing mmos in this new age of mobile games. It's hard to convince the bean counters at gaming companies to spend tens of millions on a mmo (that will probably fail) when a mobile game...

    New World

    I believe they said that the xp pots would not be available at release. Almost every game sells boosts of some kind. WoW makes millions off of them. Don't understand the hand wringing.

    Tenet (2020)

    Trip flick. Nolan is the master at getting studios to give him tons of money to make very weird flicks. Weird is good though, even if the movie isn't (Interstellar). Too much formulaic pablum coming out of Hollywood. I liked this one, but had to keep rewinding bits to keep up (keep back?)...

    Stowaway (2021)

    Didn't watch the movie but a stowaway in space would have to be sent out of the airlock within minutes of any launch for the crew to be able to reach the destination. And that still might not be soon enough. Reality is why Hollywood sci fi is mostly garbage.

    Red Sonja for the Modern Audience

    Tough role to cast. Tough movie to make. Doesn't matter who they put in the role, these types of movies almost always suck. Besides, the source material isn't workable with live action (chain mail bikinis are not a thing). So they will have to change it quite a bit to make it work. Having said...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Gruden / Mayock continue with the head scratchers. And about half of the past draft pics so far have been busts. Which is pretty much what happens for most draft picks for all teams, but for the Raiders a lot of those are high tier picks. They went against the grain and didn't get value. I...

    Tom Clancy's Without Remorse (2021)

    I tried. Gave up about 3 quarters in. Not enough action, too much back story and slow sections that I had to fast forward through. Acting wasn't great but I think the real issue is that the writer, director and editor suck.

    In times of hardship (most of history and prehistory) a fat well fed woman indicated wealth. Everyone wants to be wealthy. Nowadays fat means slovenly cheeto eating couch potato fuckwit.
