“B-b-b-b-b-but, she’s not white and marketable!”

Because Nazi Germany winning could have been possible had the US not entered the war and forced the Nazis to spread their forces thinly over way too many fronts. They had the infrastructure and the troops, but the US entering was the straw that broke the camel’s back

They weren’t “told” to end the series, they CHOSE to end the series because they wanted to do something else which is why the last two seasons feel rushed. HBO, if anything, would WANT more seasons to keep the gravy train rolling.

I get the feeling the reason Activision has been pressuring Blizzard to speed dev cycles is because Acti’s library is pathetic. They have CoD and...literally nothing else. All it would take is one CoD not selling as much as usual to wreck them and kick out Kotick.

Anyone who thinks the South could have won the war is a fucking moron engaging in historical revisionism.

Except you’re never getting that again. Time to move on

The only thing that gives me hope is this: if a company keeps doing bungles like this, they’re only going to get worse and it’s a sign that the end is coming. They can’t keep up the charade forever, eventually the bottom falls out.

Difference: people don’t NEED video games. It’s not like people needing a phone or computer

I STILL don’t know how Bungie was able to walk away from Activision with Destiny. They must know where bodies are buried

It’s because they’re addicts; they need their “fix” and think they can only get it from Blizzard

Satan is preparing a special place in hell for Bobby Kotick. That mayo-man will regret every decision he ever made

If this drowns out the clusterfuck year Activision-Blizzard has had I will be more disgusted than I already am. Seriously, fuck Activision’s executives

I mean, I always like creators being honest about stuff behind the scenes and reminding people that the entertainment industry can be pretty arduous and everything is a learning experience (see The Lord of the Rings extra features), but this comes off as two dweebs whose show worked in SPITE of them, not because of…

That’s the thing that seems to be getting buried; these two guys has no credentials and yet Martin was still comfortable handing them the reins. What. The. HELL? My guess was he thought “Eh, they’re two white guys, they’ll be fine.” And since he’s never going to finish the series, this is what his legacy is now.

She knew from the beginning and did it anyway.

That’s actually why I find the localized version to be better, because it’s more about Tsubasa getting over stage fright and Horinozawa getting over his artistic slump. It’s simple and to the point. The “commentary” in the Japanese version is completely nonsensical and it’s no wonder (besides, y’know, not sexualizing…

Probably not; one thing that would be a pain in the ass is not only finding actors that fit the characters, but who could also sing. Even for the Japanese cast that was a challenge

I just want a sequel. This was the closest thing we had to Sakura Wars until Sega revived the franchise

The problem with that supposed gravure idol commentary is that it’s completely at odds with itself. If it’s about how creepy gravure culture is then why the hell do they have Tsubasa giving the antagonist of that chapter what he wants? If it’s trying to say something it’s not doing a good job of it

yeah, not gonna lie, the original version was really uncomfortable, and not in a way I feel was intended. I much prefer the localized version because it’s more about Tsubasa getting over stage fright and learning to be confident on camera. Plus it doesn’t have the icky factor of a teenager in a skimpy swimsuit, which…
