The thing I loved the most was how the characters used the Bible to proof-text everything they were doing. “Vampire”? Fuck no! It’s an angel, because in the Bible is says people are afraid when they see angels. Brilliant and original. Every evil act committed in the story had the imprimatur of God’s word, as…

I have to disagree. I really feel as if a watcher’s interpretation of the themes in MM are the perfect example of YMMV.

Content that isn’t purely online related is being locked away. That’s the problem. That’s the “DRM” problem here. Obviously it makes sense online components need an internet connection. But Hitman’s “online” components actually don’t need a persistent internet connection. It needs an update and done until the next…

“However, there’s more that is locked away from offline players including the ability to unlock weapons, items, outfits, and earn new starting locations... playing offline also means players won’t be able to complete in-game challenges or earn experience to level up your Mastery Rank for each map.”

The decision to tie progression into the live service wasn’t on GOG, but the latter arguably should have disqualified it while the dependency was in place.

Yeah, this is a shitshow. It’s especially worrying because the no-DRM policy is the ONE reason to buy games on GOG and not Steam since Valve’s ecosystem, for all of its MANY flaws, has several “luxuries” that are simply nonexistent on CDPR’s storefront. It also has better and more frequent discounts.

People will always gravitate towards meta builds and the largest numbers instead of getting wacky.

Out of all of those, none except BL3 and TL3 are recent, TL3 was a stumbling move from another game, and the Borderlands games are a different genre entirely (though since I love loot games, I am fond of them - albeit BL3 was a disappointment). Honestly, even counting everything I’m familiar with here I definitely…

I didn’t buy the remake, but I go back once every few years to play the original, and honestly have no idea what you’re on about as far as the genre going... anywhere. There just aren’t that many D2 clones, and most of them are not very good comparatively. The ones that are not only come out rarely, but generally…

The Fright Night reboot was excellent.

Oh, they absolutely should’ve done that. We don’t really get a feel for who this Doctor Strange is before Christine’s death. Also, giving her more screentime as something besides a corpse or soon-to-be-corpse would really help with the whole Fridging issues that looms over parts of the episode.

The potential for a multiverse always existed and is actually the natural state of existence, but until the end of Loki the TVA was actively keeping those branches from forming. In Infinity War Dr Strange looked at millions of possible outcomes because those possibilities have always been there, but what Strange…

I’m going to disagree with people who think it’s a lie that Christine’s death is a fixed point.

As much as I genuinely enjoyed the first season and still love the chemistry between all the actors (truly great casting), I feel like this season has not quite been as good as the show was during the first season was despite improvements in other areas. For me, it really comes down to how the episodes wrap up. I feel…

Nell’s episode In particular was moving - both very scary, and deeply heartbreaking.  Not often you’re terrified one moment and crying the next.

I loved The Haunting of Hill House. It had one big jump scare each episode, but it also had extended scary sections. More importantly, I cared about the characters beyond the mechanics of the horror genre. I related to this dysfunctional family just trying to keep it together.

This looks amazing. So loving Flanagan’s rise as a horror master. Also, someone needs to upload Storm of the Century to a streamer. 

In the video she asks the question, people in the crowd cheer and the men on the panel looks chastened. Then men in the audience start booing loudly and you can see the panel become emboldened to start openly making fun of her. There is a lessen here about the fact that the misogyny in the game industry is reinforced…

I loved the film. The pacing has never been a problem for me - its got the full Star Trek sense of wonder, a delightful amount of excess, and never winks at the audience.

Seriously he is up there with Lucas Spielberg and Copolla.
