Nice. I have to admit, I love cheesing bosses. I killed the Wormface boss last night by sniping him with arrows from very far away.

I had this one. One of my friends got it for me for my birthday. It lived in my toy box and never saw the light of day.

Oh, good. I was feeling really bad about myself at first because this is how I’ve played most of the game thus far. I *just* ditched my shield to have a staff in my left hand, Moonveil katana in my right (originally a Prisoner build). But then, I’m a wimp who likes to hide behind my shield and is bad at dodging.…

The ancestral followers are the worst because they don't appear until you're already right on top of them, and then you're likely to be mobbed. If you're extra unlucky, they'll chase you up a platform and knock you onto one of those giant crabs waiting below. ಠ_ಠ

See, at one point I tried to get up the elevator but he followed me onto it. I pulled the lever to send it back down, and he did fall down the hole, but the bastard survived! That taught me to pay attention to enemy deaths more carefully. I only later managed to kill him by running down a bridge to the left of his…

Looks very pretty, but Caelid can still go screw itself.

Logan Paul seems like the type of celebrity who dies due to drug overdose, or alcoholism, or autoerotic asphyxiation, but just hasn’t gotten around to actually dying yet.

Hey, hey, hey, we respect the Spirit Jellyfish in this household. It dealt the finishing blow on Margit for me, so I gotta defend it.

Ugh. I definitely need to practice my parrying. This is my first Soulsborne game and while I’m having fun, I’m such a n00b. Feels bad. :’D

So is that the same Rafe Judkins who wrote The Wheel of Time show? Shouldn’t surprise me this movie is also bad, then. He is not a good writer.

Yeah, I was gonna say if this is anything like their adaptation of WoT, it’s gonna be bad. Let’s hope the writers on this show aren’t as big a fan of cheese and melodrama as Rafe Judkins.

Hey, I too have an art degree, and animation is A LOT different than static illustrative images. It’s disingenuous to claim otherwise. Even if this artist were *just* referencing another person’s illustration by copying it (and not doing a transparent overlay to trace it), it’s still copying. There are plenty of…

And yet there are so many weird costume changes that I find confusing. The Aes Sedai all wear color-coded dresses when they originally had colored shawls that showed their Ajah. Siuan didn’t have her stole. (I literally can’t figure out what her costume is supposed to be on the show.) The gleemen don’t wear patchwork…

This is my issue as well: the show jokes about the source material, but the jokes A. don’t make sense in-world and B. make fun of the source material in a contemptuous way. The most infamous example I encountered was Liandrin making a joke about how to pronounce Nyaeve’s name. She claimed she was confused about the…

No, men going mad thanks to the corrupted magic is a really big plot point. 

No, I totally agree with your take. I’m a lot like you in that I read and reread the books ages ago in the 90s (I was even a member of a very early role play website—I was definitely a die hard). The books aren’t perfect by any means, and I recognize that there were certain things that needed to be changed—but a lot…

This “unreliable narrator” bit has been trotted out a lot recently when discussing the show, and you’re right: it’s just bad writing. A lot of the people making this claim are relying on book knowledge, not on stuff that actually appears in the show. Liandrin is a a huge problem along these lines: in the show she goes…

Please. Back in *my* day, we not only read the dictionary in the back of the books for the pronunciation guide, but we had the official 90s WoT compendium book with the god-awful illustrations. The one of Loial still haunts my dreams.

I’m gonna argue with you a little bit on one point: the male and female halves of the One Power are equal in power. At one point early on I remember Egwene complaining that the sub-powers of Water and Air (which women are generally stronger with) seen weaker than Fire and Earth, the “male” counterparts. She was…

I’m cautiously optimistic about this adaptation, which is exactly opposite how I feel about the upcoming Wheel of Time show. Every time I see footage of that one I get this sinking feeling of dread because it looks like an absolute dumpster fire. With Cowboy Bebop here you can say that at the very least, the people…
