    Into the Breach

    Same, it always hurts to flawless a couple islands to then make some colossal oversight and kill a pilot or fail the last bonus you need. Also was anyone else expecting a third phase or some ultimate boss fight with a Queen? I enjoyed the finale but I was expecting some FTL style multi stage...

    The Shape of Water (2018)

    I went into this expecting nothing and found a humorless remake of Splash featuring a creepy fish man who ate live cats and a desperately horny mute girl with some loose screws instead of a pretty blond and Tom Hanks. Seriously, there was absolutely nothing original about it except for everyone...

    Lost in Space

    The original was a fun, wholesome little family show. I don't know why they feel the need to remake it but I suppose the licensing was cheap enough. Hopefully they have someone that can write well enough to make the thing at least somewhat charming.

    Black Panther (2018)

    I wonder if it was an oversight to dodge the gay quota or if someone actually made a choice. Either way it's funny.

    Gomorrah

    I just finished season 1 and it was alright; it lacked the nuance, characterization and variety of perspective that The Wire had but it was watchable. Pretty much everything takes place from the perspective of several different thugs so everything boils down to insult > kill. It also becomes...

    Altered Carbon

    I understand Bancroft's code, I really do. The problem is that everyone telling him these things is hostile towards him and he has little reason to take what they say at face value. Basically the only voice he could perhaps trust in that instance was that of his wife who admitted to giving him...

    Altered Carbon

    Yes obviously or Bancroft's story would have been completely different. I was just talking logical assumptions like popular uprisings.

    Altered Carbon

    Well Mary Lou knew nothing about what was done to her chip, all she could say was that Bancroft real killed a prostitute in an establishment that probably had clauses in place to protect their clientele from the repercussions of any sort of "accidental" killing anyway. I mean look at what went...

    Altered Carbon

    I remember this but there was no damning evidence available to prosecute Bancroft with, only a video clip of some sleeve talking who can't be questioned further. Everything in the end was based off of the deductions of some former terrorist hireling and Bancroft's own inexplicable willingness...

    Altered Carbon

    Having never read the books I couldn't fathom what made Envoys so special that a 300+ year old trillionaire would bother to arrange a pardon for one in order to play detective for him. All the flashbacks served to do was showcase generic action sequences that any competent fighter in the show...

    They are billions

    It's all about the economy, you need to develop a housing area that makes full use of those buildings asap and then find another piece of land that you can use to build another one afterwards.

    Future Man

    I just finished it too, what a great show. There were far more laughs to be had than from any standard comedy that I can remember watching in a long time.

    The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

    It hit its stride around mid season but then they just spun their wheels until the end, preventing any further plot development before next season. Which was a shame because I thoroughly enjoyed some of the episodes but things became very redundant and a bit boring in the end.

    They are billions

    16 I tried to do the same but I went into it without paying enough attention to the numbers/expansion game which as it turns out is vital to success. Also some of the units/towers aren't balanced well yet like soldiers, lucifers and shock towers to the point that I don't even build them now...

    They are billions

    Having played the heck out of it recently it's a more or less complete experience minus the scripted campaign mode but as it stands it's a challenging game that feels wonderful to beat. Until you figure out what you need to do though it can be quite infuriating so it's a good idea to watch some...

    Time for your ShowHole recommendations!

    Alias Grace was probably the most memorable show of the year for me; it had great casting and wonderful dialogue to go along with an intriguing story. Its a period psychological mystery about a servant girl convicted of murder, it takes the format of a series of interviews between her and an...

    Knightfall

    Every major plot point in the first episode was predictable to the point of laziness but the acting/casting seems decent; some of the accents were very weird for a French setting though. I do hope it gets more interesting. The quarrel to the knee was pretty funny.

    Godless

    It was fine if you don't mind a simple and predictable western full of recoilless guns, villains who don't value their lives at all, somewhat bland characters preforming in stock roles and a lesbian love spat to meet the gay quota. It was really just a 2 episode experience plot wise; the other...

    Rick and Morty

    It's too bad that Beth didn't aim a little higher. But the cat did bring on the feels.

    South Park

    For all the effort they've put into these continuing story-lines they certainly seem just as committed to ensuring that nothing is ever allowed to progress in a satisfying way. I miss the old days where some random bs would happen to cap off an emotional/thoughtful moment and then Kenny would...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    No I never shared my info with anyone. The account was never banned but was suspended as a result of whatever nonsense the person who stripped it got up to in EC I presume. They said it was suspended due to suspicious activity and restored access but I logged back in just to see my guys near...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I vaguely recall reading here or on the other forum that awhile back a GM or someone was stripping inactive accounts of items. Would someone be kind enough to post what they remember of the incident? It seems that might have happened to my account.

    Everspace (Space shooter)

    I gave this another shot and liked it better this time around but I still hate the initial start. There are some things that you just shouldn't need to grind credits for like better loot chance, being able to view repair ships and the threat levels on the map. Dying over and over again because...

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

    I had completely forgotten how retarded Coirnav looked.

    Everspace (Space shooter)

    I didn't like this mainly because of how reliant your experience is on the RNG and that the progression is based on dying and buying things post death. I prefer games where you have initial control and your subsequent decisions determine how you do, in this game you can be dicked over as soon...

    South Park

    Looks like the berries will be a thing next season for better or worse. Their absence didn't bother me though so I found this episode to be one of the funnier ones this season which admittedly isn't saying much but I actually laughed more than 0-2 times this episode which puts it above the rest...

    Westworld

    That definitely would have worked better but as I brought up a couple pages ago her whole escape scene was scripted and in such a way as to be remarkably similar to the daily safe heist in Sweetwater which may point to some kind of reveal later down the road or maybe not. Anyway it doesn't make...

    Westworld

    Upon further reflection I was taken aback by the similarities of tone and structure that exist between Maeve's escape and the Sweetwater safe heist. They both open up with a poorly concealed attempt to hide in plain sight followed by the swift death of the person who investigates, from there...

    Westworld

    I enjoyed the ending quite a bit and was grinning right along with William there at the end but the issue that soured the experience for me, as always, was Maeve; as yet another perfect moment to kill her off, risk free, is ignored and that farce with the brain dead security guards was...

    The Walking Dead

    These are my feelings as well, I stopped watching the show somewhere after the big prison showdown and only picked it up again because I heard that Rick got kicked in the balls. Now I'm reminded of why I stopped watching again; all of the unlikable characters, time killing dramatic stares...

    Westworld

    Everything revolving around Maeve continues to be absolute poison but this episode gave me hope; it established the fact that her situation isn't organic, it's been engineered (given that she is completely shielded from park surveillance) and that her entire storyline is one of Ford's social...

    The Crown

    This was very well done and had a higher production value than the typical Monarchical drama from the BBC or elsewhere. Usually in these types of shows the focus hardly ever leaves the monarch and the palace they are stuck in; this show had a broader scope with a variety of actors, settings and...

    South Park

    Well it certainly felt like something that was hastily whipped together at the last moment. Apart from the water sport incident this hasn't been a very entertaining season for me, it feels like each episode is trying to build towards something in the future to detriment of any comedy before then.

    Westworld

    The first episode was immersive and intense, last nights was the complete opposite. I don't want to know what kind of mental gymnastics are required to view them as being equal in quality. Anyway I agree that the only way to make sense of the techs is if they are hosts themselves without any...

    Westworld

    This was the first episode of the series that I truly disliked. Everything having to do with the two technicians was absurdly contrived; from the lack of internal security in this multi billion dollar facility to the inexplicable willingness of these two to aid a rogue AI, nothing made sense...

    Rimworld

    Mental breaks aren't really a big threat once you understand things better but it's a shame that there isn't a real tutorial yet to walk players through all the details. The best way to start the game is to watch some let's plays of people who have played a bit so you can figure things out...

    Bojack Horseman

    It's just like the other seasons, light until the last few episodes and then the depression kicks in. Mr. Peanutbutter as the Governor next season sounds fun though.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    It sounds like a great way to ensure that every season lives up to the exceedingly high standards set by the first season of any scifi series.

    Archer

    It was amusing on a slapstick level and given how they dressed everyone it was obvious that the seduction storyline could go nowhere. Anyway I wonder what they'll try next season, bounty hunting?

    The Americans

    It felt like I've waited three seasons for Phillip and Elizabeth to finally stop coddling Paige, that was a bit satisfying. I still wish that she had been shipped off to Russia as all of the circumlocuitous family drama regarding her has detracted from the rest of the show for me. Apart from...
