It seems to me that for all of these games already have a gateway, namely they require you to input credit card info.

The Liverpool fan’s constant swing: “That front six! But that back 4.”

I couldn’t stop giggling about that final moo.

Yeah, I was all, “NOOOOO! His sudden interest in you as a person doesn’t excuse the abuse he put you through!”

Gods, just the little details like the constant cow noises around the Boyle ranch had me in stitches.

Am I the only one bummed about Chase and Victor bonding over engineering?

Yeah, I was wondering how that tied into all this.

Can confirm. As a soccer nerd, it is eternally gratifying to see someone else with footy gear on, because even if it is for a team that I despise, we share a language that gets me nothing but blank stares at best with everyone else. That said, always respect the headphones.

Loved the little background details, like how during the Amy/Boyle segments, you would occasionally see Rosa scoot through the background of the shot on her chair.

A Swansonian, I see.

He might not be lying, but think he is probably also wrong, because Michael is, at least on a relative cosmic scale, kind of a dum-dum. He might believe it’s just the points, but I suspect it is much deeper than that.

But remember, Michael is the only person who has reported this, and he is, at best, an unreliable narrator.

If that points system sounds hellish, it’s because it’s the sort of thing that would be used to punish people like Eleanor and Tahani. I suspect that the actual decision-making is more complicated than a point value.

Meanwhile, you just know that Jeff would never be some kind of Kitchen Asshole.

And even then, you’d have to say, “well, that was part of the arrangement. Hey Jeff, thanks for picking up the Thai food yesterday!”

That’s amazing and hilarious!

If the shame is too much, see about having a cool face-obscuring mask you can wear and an alias.

I also liked the way her brother quietly cut off his kid when he started asking about the mutant underground so that neither of them could accidentally give up their locations or details.

To my mind, a trailer is most effective when it is used to convey mood or aesthetics than specific plot points.

It’s a tricky thing, though. Even though it would seem like your solution is more fundamentally sound, the fact is that mass demographic behavior seems to run contrary to that rational behavior. For every person willing to pay more up-front, you have hundreds who only buy games during one of the deep-discount steam…
