Yes, but now I feel guilty for feeling content. Which, if nothing else, is a change of pace.

Stylistically I think Snyder nailed a lot of the comic, but thematically he just seemed to miss the point, time and time again.

In the age of quality shows getting canceled and immediately picked up by someone else, this feels appropriate:

From Netflix, I’d be totally okay with that. I oftentimes think the all-at-once release schedule hurts more than it helps. I know I never end up reading reviews or discussing shows that do it. The conversation becomes too fractured as everyone watches at a different pace.

Now, that’s how you Bear Down for a Medical Emergency.

I cannot say enough good things about KSP. It took concepts that I struggled with in school and turned gave me an almost effortless intuition about them — all while being a blast*.

I am often excited by cutscenes. Plenty of games are interesting to me for their themes and mood more so for their gameplay. I was completely sold on Gears of War by the Mad World trailer, the idea of a hauntingly desolate world as a hardened soldier holds of aliens in a crumbling city*. I was far more excited for the…
