    Rimworld

    As of the last time I played this it wasn't worth the asking price; there just isn't much to do in the game at the moment besides fighting off endless waves of attackers which stops being fun fairly quickly. The "Storyteller" thing they promote is really just a difficulty setting and nothing...

    The Leftovers

    Except that they made a point of showing that this wasn't the rapture; the people that were spirited away were completely random and some were even considered to be douchebags by their closest relations. For instance the child beating mother the protestor was talking about at Hero's Day, the...

    The Leftovers

    This pilot would have been alright if it were only 30-45 minutes long; at 70 it was really pushing it as nothing at all happened besides some rather drawn out exposition concerning characters that will presumably become important later but at the moment have no charisma or draw to them. If the...

    Tyrant

    At first she didn't bother me either but as they persisted in making her as obtuse as possible it got annoying. I did love that departure scene. "You want to know what it was like growing up in this magical place yes?" Slap slap slap.

    Tyrant

    Its kind of like Breaking Bad in that almost everything is great but the son and wife are /wrists. I mean really, you've been married for 19 years and are so concerned about your husbands relationship with his despotic family and his troubling secrecy and yet you haven't bestirred yourself to...

    Fargo

    It was basically a direct reinterpretation of the end of the film; Steve Buscemi (Billy Bob) suffers a horrific injury in a shootout and heads to the cabin, lone cop (mail man) finds the cabin and suspect by chance and arrests (executes) him, wife killer goes on the run and gets caught (drowns)...

    Fargo

    I would have preferred it if they hadn't emulated the ending of the movie for this series. But apart from that this was a pretty good show, Billy Bob carried the whole thing and I can't imagine it being any good without him.

    Penny Dreadful

    Hopefully they won't still be looking for her in season two.

    Fargo

    He sure is. That scene in the car made it pretty clear she was a goner; no one gets built up to be so sweet, kind and harmless without a reason.

    Penny Dreadful

    Yes... as I said. It's a problem because Nina is a nonentity to the audience but the driving focus of the main characters.

    Penny Dreadful

    This whole crusade to rescue Mina is the problem; focusing the plot on a character we never got to know or care about is just bad writing. Her father is a dick, her friend is possessed, side characters are side characters and everyone is unhappy, frightened or perversely amused when called...

    Crossbones NBC

    It's like someone watched Black Sails and said "I could tweak this a bit, do it for less money and on top of it I can even get John Malkovich!". It's a shame they didn't allocate that budget savings towards the writing team.

    Xenonauts - Legit remake of the original XCom

    It's nice to see this released after so many years in development... I think this was going before Firaxis even started enemy unknown. Good stuff and there is a custom map pack on their forums that is quite good also.

    MaddAddam [HBO] Darren Aronofsky (futuristic dystopian epic)

    I read the first book and then couldn't muster the will to continue on with the rest, the only reason that I got that far was because I enjoyed the post apocalyptic setting. None of the characters are particularly likeable and some of the story elements present in the flashbacks are absurd to...

    That was hilarious. This show is definitely the best comedy I've watched in years.

    The Forest - openworld fps survival

    The game isn't ready yet even for early access as there isn't much that the community can provide feedback for; all you can do is wander around and chop wood for hours for limited traps/building or play hide and seek with the natives who are fairly resistant to steel axe blows. It's fun at...

    TURN: Washington's Spies

    IIRC his brother was engaged to her first and then when he died the younger brother fulfilled the obligation due to convention and pressure from his father. It's an old custom for maintaining family alliances via marriage that dropped out of favor with changing times, it happened with widows as...

    Bert thought it best to show Don how he really felt... with a floor show. I don't get it either but it was awesome.

    The Broken Empire Trilogy. Best series of all time

    Its primary draw is that the main character is basically a villain which is a novelty in a genre laden with plucky, young, self sacrificing characters fighting to right various wrongs and basically save the world. In this we get a malevolent, young, minion sacrificing despot who lusts for power...

    I love how they bought that giant computer and all that they seem to have done with it is to put it behind a window with a pretty secretary on display tapping away.

    Obviously not but at least they wouldn't have had a government organization to lend their BS legitimacy either.

    Health Care Thread

    I think that this VA healthcare scandal, which is nothing at all new, (40 years ago my grandfather opted for private healthcare because he could see the endless waiting lists and people dying even then) aptly demonstrates the future for the ACA. It is only as affordable as the value of a human...

    Why all the Emulated EQ servers if EQ is free to play?

    You've heard everything that we've had to say and they are by and large things that have been said many times over the years in various places and are nothing new. That said I am really curious to know whatyou, Elidroth think about the current state of the game and why a sizable portion of...

    Any advice on temporary turtle care?

    If it's injured call animal control and ask for the number of the local wildlife rehab center if there is one. If it's fine you could probably just let it go unless you live in a metropolis or something.

    Mad Men

    No Radio and no creative lounge make Ginsberg go something something... He has always been a bit odd but those things and the constant humming from that giant paperweight have pushed him over the edge. I do wonder what the point of it is though story wise; in earlier seasons he was presented as...

    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    Internet activity is monitored, our phone calls are recorded as a mater of routine, our children are being issued school ID's with RFID chips and now they want to track our vehicle's movements and have us pay for the privilege of doing so. This isn't merely about taxes it's about power and...

    Vice-HBO

    My favorite one so far is the Afghan Money Pit, Season 2 Episode 1. One hundred billion dollars down the tube in aid for one of the most corrupt countries in the world and more funding on the same level is on its way all so that our government can temporarily stave off a collapse over there and...

    Noah (2014)

    Saying integrity may have been an error as the details change the tone of the story but you are overreacting a wee bit. The story in broad terms is the same (Boat, Man, Good, Evil, God, Salvation, Beasts) just filled up with details (which the original lacked as it's very short) however...

    Noah (2014)

    You sound like anyone else who goes into a film expecting a certain experience based upon what you have already been exposed to and thus have a preference for and leave disappointed, I've been there myself. I was bothered by the same things that you were at first but I was able to let that go...

    Mad Men

    In their hierarchy (as has been established throughout the run of series) an employee does not call a partner into their office and then proceed to tell them what to do, as she well knows, and in doing so she set a roadblock in the way of her project. As for Don being on the shit list... well...

    Mad Men

    You would have treated someone who was your mentor, was there for you with inspiration and advice after you gave up your first born, who got you your break in the industry and who is still technically your boss like she did? I hope not because that is pretty cold and foolish. In a perfect...

    Mad Men

    I think that this is part of the point; it shows that this office isn't run by decent human beings, they don't care about Don on a personal level and never had despite whatever he has done for them. It's all about the bottom line and what this or that person can do to benefit the partners and...

    Vikings

    Yes so he could die in battle as a warrior and go to Valhalla presumably, that or she is bored of him. Had she and Ragnar really wanted him to live I could think of better ways than to leave him alone and in bed after recently rebreaking his leg.

    Vikings

    This affirmed my wish that Horrick had died in the first battle of the season along with that Jarl. It's watchable and still fun to an extent but I do hope that they ditch the predictable and rather unimaginative village intrigue and focus more on raids and battles next season, battles that...

    Faster Than Light

    It would have been more dicey, especially if I was running drone defense instead of cloak but bombs do hurt Zoltan shields so I probably would have been fine long enough to break it and attack the weapons rooms. That said I did have maxed out engines/shield and the bosses burst laser/phase 3...
