The Americans has been pretty good so far this season when they aren't focusing on the dispute over the daughter which is getting pretty repetitive.

That was the thing that always pissed me off about SoE and EQ; they never reinvested anything back into the game despite how much money it made them over the years, they were content to just milk the product without giving anything back. There were so many ideas and design paths freely...

Am I witnessing the birth of the next second life? At any rate it is a fun idea and if you can manage to provide the tools that everyone will need to contribute something then you should attract a bunch of hobbyists if you go looking for them.

The Gamer is good at first until you realize that there is no plot beyond "I have game like abilities aren't I awesome?". There is no story beyond grinding and having him explain at length the most basic game concepts every other chapter while supporting characters get jealous and make...

Having watched some of their demos I have zero interest in ever seeing anything like this again as they seem to have completely missed the point of fighting exhibitions completely; yes they are demonstrations of skill and physical prowess but just as important is the sense of danger and...

Did Chardok ever get itemized or The Plane of Hate its Iksar plate sets? Also wtb a new blue server.

I've been playing this game for a couple of days now and have been enjoying myself for the most part but once my guys get to level 3-4 the grind has really started to become apparent because of the lack of dungeon/mob variety, stats/skills/perks, and meaningful loot. There are only so many...

I've been watching this on Twitch and I'm not liking how your party members commentary effectively pauses the game every time that they babble on about something which is quite frequent. I'm also not digging the stress mechanic as it currently stands as that seems to be the primary source of...

Still waiting for the book devoted to Karsa's attempt to save and lead his people.

I really wish that Pixar had managed to stay free of Disney's clutches. I used to be thrilled every time they announced a new work in progress but the last few have been so forgettable that it feels more and more like they are producing what the toy division tells them to these days.

This was a good popcorn series filled with petty intrigue and overly choreographed fight sequences that are one step away from having actors flying through the sky. It could have been so much more if the writing and budget had been there though. Those complaints aside I still watched it all...

There was way too much of an emphasis on cartman this episode and he was never funny in that role. Then they wasted the ending on pewdiepie who also wasn't entertaining in the least... it's like they brought him on in the end just to kiss his ass or something. They should have at the least...

The early colonization game depends on easy access to nearby uncolonized lands so pretty much any nation that is close to North Africa/Atlantic will have first dibs for a very long time. For everyone else if you want colonies its easier to just steal them from Portugal and Spain via war.

Whose nitpicking? I thought it was hilarious.

Did anyone else notice how Dawn's pistol was holstered and her arms were at her sides right before Beth stabbed her and yet immediately afterwards the gun is in her hands, pointed at Beth's skull and boom... fastest gun in the West right there. That had me cracking up on top of how random that...

I wish that there was more new to this supposedly new version of Isaac. Aside from the engine it feels more like a mod that added rectangular rooms, cosmetics, mob tweaks, and some items. Is there an entirely new series of floors at least? Something besides heaven/hell/chest?

That's mainly for the benefit of those expecting a King Killer part 2 1/2 or something. I found myself enjoying this novella quite a bit and by the end of it I had a smile on my face. His warning at the beginning was helpful if a also a bit over blown; it is not a standard story as there is...

Yeah... we have mastered interstellar and possibly inter dimensional travel (gates) and yet we cannot visit outer space, span a chasm or even build a rudimentary tunnel. They should have themed the game around a group of marooned castoffs or escaped prisoners; at least then it would be somewhat...

Well I just played my first game of this on whatever hard setting was called this time and it was a snooze as far as challenge goes. The gameplay was engaging enough as like in Civ there is usually something to build or look at most of the time but I never felt compelled to do anything in...

After having watched a few hours of gameplay I feel like I have already played this game to death; if you are bored of Civ V and were hoping for something refreshing to mix it up then look elsewhere. It felt like I was watching a Civ V game with blander AI's, large insects, drab looking terrain...

Some of the episodes are hit or miss and I rarely laugh more than once or twice each, if that, but I still enjoy watching it and find it fairly entertaining; it also reminds me a little bit of Duckman which is a plus.

Yes I did and I agree, at least, that it's a children's series that has its own pros and cons. Still, however derivative the genre is Grossman is rather blatant in his representation of Fillory (what little we see of it) in the first book, which I'm sure he did on purpose for whatever reason...

I just finished reading The Magicians by Lev Grossman and.... it was quite horrible. It's a story about a child who barley manages to progress to a man child and his moronic "friends" who go to a magical academy where they learn magic, presumably, when they aren't being angsty, drinking, or...

I forgot about that one. Seconded as a weird yet interesting watch.

As for good shows with more mature themes and characters, off the top of my head: Mushishi - About invisible beings that sometimes cause serious problems for people and a man who can interact with the creatures and help the people they were tormenting. Very atmospheric and follows a episodic...

From what I remember reading from a synopsis for the books awhile ago this is basically a love triangle romance/drama with time travel thrown in to make it "exciting" for women who are bored of the usual sort of wishy washy whom do I choose!? female protagonist. Maybe the show will have some...

There is no point. At the end of the season I can picture a group of people dressed in white in a psyche ward emerging from a hypnotic group therapy session, being issued little paper cups full of anti depressants and mood stabilizers then downing them, after which they lift their tongues for...

This ending after one season would be fine IMO unless they went with completely new characters for season two as the current cast is fairly played out by this point.

Anyways yes the first book was alright mainly due to its strong first half but book two has nothing going for it whatsoever. All of the PoV characters feel invincible or at least safe from any consequence; lots of people die but there is no one to care about, all of the enemies come off as...

The reverend's episode was actually alright because he at least has his reasons for being the way he is despite being a hypocrite and a poor Christian; it was at least engaging (despite retarded parking lot scene). The cop and his family though... its as if they are being a bunch of emo...

The first two episodes were fantastic but everything since then has been less so; the problem (for me) is that it opened up by presenting the expectation of an intriguing and driven multi layered murder mystery / commentary on the death row experience and the aftermath of an unexpected release...

Has there been any mention of why a commercial flight was allowed into a war zone in the first place?

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...
