in both PB and Speed, he played opposite of bona fide stars, tho.

“I do not wish to make Dragon Age 4 a microtransaction games as service open world imitation of trends that will be 5 years outdated by the time this game ships”

I can say with confidence that I don’t believe in the 5000 years we’ve had writing, in our 300, 000 year old existence as a species, on a planet that’s had life for 3-4 billion years, in a single known universe that’s 13.8 billion years old, there is absolutely any reason to even suggest there is a limit to what can…

I can’t play the “back in my day” card because Benedict Cumberbatch is older than me, but naw you fucking dolt, unless you’re chugging vape juice or inhaling cigar smoke 50 minutes of every 60 for an entire workday, you haven’t experienced nicotine poisoning, you got an upset belly.

“How many cute cat pictures make up for skewing elections into the control of extremist uncle-types?”

Hey now maybe the whole season is actually Gi-Hun rounding up disenfranchised former contestants or aggrieved relatives and with 60 other comrades lands the Granma II on Rich Capitalist island and wages a protracted people’s war for the emancipation of the proletariat

I liked TOR, I played a Bounty Hunter to 50 on release and the endgame was a bit thin, but honestly the biggest disappointment for me was the engine and combat, it just felt awkward and sluggish.

Conjunction of the Spheres: 1500 years in the past, the Continent (the world of the Witcher) was occupied by just Gnomes, Dwarves, and Elves (themselves slightly later comers) then a magical chaotic snaffu resulted in the above+monsters and humans (humans probably being from a multiversal Earth, past or future).

I did enjoy it, and played a Bounty Hunter up to 50, PVPed a bit, enjoyed the story beats, it just never quite managed the magic 

“It’s Bioware, of course it’s going to be amazing!”, 2010 me, wide-eyed and optimistic that this whole thing would turn out okay. 

You’re not wrong.

I think Final Fantasy XIV is responsible for a bigger hit to WoW's numbers than New World. 

There’s a reason traditional currency has largely been the domain of governments throughout recorded history. Everyone participating in a given society needs to agree that a currency is worth something, and there are few institutions outside of government that can lend credibility to something so important.…

Also shout out to the Party City red leather daddy Morpheus and discount Harley Quinn from Vampire - Bloodlines: The Masquerade, and American McGee’s Alice for carrying the Goth flame for so long:

All those Ancient Greeks but no Thracian Robert Smith?

Who on Earth is the audience that has time to watch half a TV show in anticipation of another, longer TV show but can’t find the time to watch the character and world-building other half of the first show?

Oh it was definitely not my intention to mean those were it, there is no way I could cover all of Britain’s imperialism, I didn’t even touch on North America or the Caribbean.

i’m not surprised they didn’t quite hit the mark on the underlying themes of imperialism and american hubris/exceptionalism. it’s likely to be their own interpretation and distillation from a uniquely european cultural lens (and by rights a pov that is somewhat complicit in the imperialist themes they try to tip toe…

The cast and ambience feel on point, my only complaint (and it may be owing to how the trailer is shot) is that the action feels a little wooden, especially the fight choreography. Not just that it’s slow or choppy, but there’s no sense of the fluidity and lines of the original, with the smooth and improvisational…

I think they’ll cast Feyd, because of spoilery reasons from the 50-year-old plot, he should closely mirror Paul as a foil rather than Beast Rabban’s complete inversion.
