I see what you did there - holding the door open for Aussies and just at the last moment - release! Well played.

My take on him was that he was destined to accomplish little change because he was almost pathologically unable to feel empathy for anyone that even slightly disagreed with him. That’s fine, he still wrote some great stories and stirred some shit up, but at some point you need to realize that zero compromise means…

Well, it’s sort of called capitalism. The only real difference I see here is that, naturally, Amazon used the full force of the media, social and otherwise, to make this a very public spectacle. This only served to better amp up the responses. Big corporations choosing to build factories in various locations are…

Well, easy peasy - don’t buy it if literally none of the described gameplay appeals to you. To perhaps put a slightly different spin on it - if you ever played “war” or possibly hide and go seek as a little kid with your friends, this game captures that feeling of looking out at the environment and never knowing if…

“Probably a hoax”? Lol, yeah it’s a hoax. Timed nicely with Halloween upcoming and the fact that GHOSTS AREN’T REAL sorta gives it away.

In my ongoing discovery of just how crap the Canadian flavour of Prime is, when I went to the tablet page, they’re all labelled “not available”. This isn’t the first time - I had pre-ordered a genre BR the first day it was announced, and on release day - “back ordered”. I have American friends that had theirs the next…

Well, I’m beyond the age of an 80s kid, but being an animation fan at the time I watched this despite being an adult. I really enjoyed it, I don’t recall the dialog being all that infantile, but perhaps I just brushed that off since this was intended for kids after all. The story did stick with me, though, and at the…

Well, for starters I have no idea how true any of this is, or how faithful to reality it’s being portrayed...

I’m curious why the hate for RPO and yet you’re shunned as an outsider if you dare criticize Stranger Things? I absolutely loathed that derivative tripe that somehow had turned “rehash” into “homage”, blatantly playing to childhood nerd memories and yet universally loved. RPO is just another entry into the same 80s…

Just to say it, stories not covered in the film aren’t “omissions” - there are many hundreds of stories that could be told, on both sides, of such a massive operation. The movie is a taut representation of three views of events, it’s not intended to be a multi-episode documentary. I am quite impressed with how much…

The notion that “improving” the classic pizza stone by using materials that are more and more inductive so you can get your pizza faster is so very, very.. I’m sorry, but... American. The goal is not simply supercharging heat from below, it’s finding a balance of intense heat from top and bottom. Sure you want to cook…

It’s interesting - it used to be conventions were for professionals, such as SIGGRAPH for visual effects and NAB for broadcasters, where you could see the latest gear and software (I got to see HD monitors years before they were standard and stood in a VR landscape in 1990). While both of those conventions are still…

Agreed. Even worse, there’s no way in hell I’m going to trust some person’s guide to skipping episodes - that’s a highly subjective thing and is frankly bullshit. To suggest you avoid watching the *final* BSG episode just drips with ineptitude. My wife and I binged Lost and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, yes…

Sometimes it’s difficult to argue for the “story points” of a sex scene. Focusing on movies for the moment, the vast majority of them are essentially saying “these characters crossed over into intimacy”, perhaps with a descriptor like “gentle” or “rough”. Personally I don’t think there’s anything wrong with showing…

I’m hanging on until the end of season then I’m out. I confess to already scrubbing through episodes. I think there’s a lot of long time fans like me that will do the same - basically we’ve been screwed with enough in terms of the writing and just want to see the period at the end of this seasonal sentence and will…

It’s driven by the writing. That should inspire the animators and directors to pulling out the stops and upping their game. When your boss pushes you to get out volume over quality and you want to keep your job, you’ll end up with crap. Even the Witcher side quests had this sad or funny little quality to them, quirky…

Yeah, getting up and walking downstairs doesn’t hold a treasured top ten hated moments in my life. Plus - just how often is your power going out on you?

We have this, works fine. To me having a basic programmability is enough, I haven’t really bought into the claims of knowing where people are in the house driving the heating is really, truly something that makes any significant difference to the bill or isn’t annoying. I know some people are micro-managers about this…

Seeing all of this detail really drives home the lost opportunities in the new game. They could have made a really great game with all this backstory, but also the option to reboot and tell some really incredible new stories. Instead they opted to completely throw writing under the bus and hobble the gameplay…

It’s unclear to me how you could not comment on the dialog being absolutely awful. The reason I wanted to play the previous series was the story and becoming immersed as a character. What I’ve watched on Twitch so far has been horrid. I’m perfectly happy to wait for a proper release and review(since we all know…
