I agree about Andor but you only get half credit for Mando since the series revolves around a force wielder trained by the Jedi and very very prominently uses lightsabers. I’d even argue that the main group of Mandos are just reskinned Jedi (hokey religion in the brink of extinction fighting the Empire - just obsessed…

Don’t hop into the comments or complain on Twitter that I spoiled this big Star Wars moment in the new Jedi sequel.

There are a lot of games out there. Maybe it’s just not fun for you. It’s fun for me - and it meets one of the marks of a “great game” in my book: I think about when I can jump back in again when I am not playing and have other life things going on. Can’t wait to jump back in later tonight.

Isn’t the Mario movie just building on the Pikachu as a Sonic movies anyway? I don't see how more videogamed themed kids movies should affect me one way or the other if I just don't watch them. 

This episode restored my hope for this season of Ted Lasso. I thought the first two episodes were good but didn’t really get me super excited other than to think “Well it’s setting things up but the rest of the season will get better.” I definitely felt like this was the “It’s getting better” installment. Everyone…

I agree simply because it makes things needlessly uncomfortable. Like, the murder, cannibalism, all that, yeah of course it’s horrific, but I don’t know anyone who’s been a victim/survivor of either. But when I watched this episode I just thought of all the people I knew who I should specifically tell to NOT watch…

I never saw enough to know if that was resolved, but I always guessed it was just the obvious. “God creates man, man creates robot dinosaurs, robot dinosaurs eat man, Aloy inherits the earth.”

Same. I thought it was pretty and the concept was new (even though it wasn’t really my thing) but I really disliked the voice acting (with the exception of Aloy) and don’t remember the story at all. 

I feel like this nails it. For Horizon, I just saw another pretty/empty open world game. If I have to go to dots on a map to find the next thing then it doesn’t really feel like a lived-in world at all, it just feels bigger.

The outrage isn’t because the character called her that - a character can be racist without the creators also having those same views - but because she was actually named that. But I think that’s the only way she’s referred to in the movie. I still don’t really see why that’s offensive other than people enjoying being…

I’m white and I do have a big nose. I’d just be like “yes? Can I help you?”

Interesting way to generate clicks. Grab some niche thing and say it’s “everywhere” to get all the people saying they have never seen it before. Well done. 

Isn’t this just a video game thing? Not saying I like it, just that I've come to accept it as normal for the adventure genre. 

The biggest thing I want from this game is no more sliding sections. Unless Cal is a skier he should not be doing that with any regularity. 

This wouldn’t typically be my thing but considering it’s on Gamepass and available immediately, I’m interested enough to give it a try. The art style looks fun  and the gameplay could be cool even if the “cool rocker” character is cringe.

Same. I have a couple decks I cycle between. When they use featured zones like rickety bridge, I use my “Death Deck” that uses all the destruction cards. Yeah, it sucks when you use a different deck and get hit with the zones that you don’t like, but I feel like this is what forces people to create new decks and try…

“One guy field stripped a fir tree and walked like a fir tree”

Same. Top Gun was my dad’s favorite movie, not mine. I definitely saw it, but it wasn’t burned into my brain.

I snap like an extra in West Side Story. I snap every time and a lot of the time I’ll do it right out of the gate just to see if the other player will too. It’s not for any strategic reason, I just like seeing how the other play responds most of the time.

I played the first one when it came out and loved it. And then I tried playing the second one when it came out and just kind of groaned and wondered why I was spending my time with it. I am grateful that we’ve had a truckload of indie games come out in the time between those that have proven gameplay doesn’t have to…
