The show obviously is doing its best to represent microgravity realistically, but I keep finding myself in a but of a 0G uncanny valley.

For a minute there I thought there’d be an AV Club review of a western without the comments devolving into a debate over the proper usage of oater.

I’m suspicious of anyone who thinks the bar for “good person” is “not being evil.” That said, if I had to pick one word for Fallon, it’d be banal.

Yawn, call me when you find a radio play of John Barrymore warning of the evils of ‘shine.

I should admit that I never really “got” the overdrive mechanic on Nero’s weapon. And I spent too much of the game just waiting to play as Dante.

Cyberpunk 2077 - After The Witcher 3 I’m really curious what this team can do with a whole new setting and everything looks real pretty.

I couldn’t agree more about Devil May Cry. I feel like I was the only person who didn’t like DMC4. It was just too much.

Now playing

This reminds me of when she was on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, which is similarly intimate-sunglasses-Annie with an acoustic. And its got a killer Terri Gross joke, so you know she knows her audience.

Getting halfway to space is far more than half the battle. Besides gravity, one of the main forces that has to be overcome in a launch is resistance from the air...lift a payload high enough to be easily launched the rest of the way into space.

That is not my experience either with those doing the ad buying or selling.

It could be that those ads were sold explicitly to market to lecherous old men, but I’d guess that someone just bought a bunch of time marked “Cheap CBS Sports” and called it a day. They were probably expecting a golf tournament that no one’s ever heard of.

I was recently describing the show to a friend and the best description I could come up with for why I liked it was: it keeps me off balance.

Don’t forget A Better Tomorrow II, which has the most ridiculous — i dare you to take this seriously — character introduction of Mark’s twin brother. It’s so absurd in a John Woo way and I love every second of it.

Amusingly, that’s how I felt about Cloak & Dagger and The Runaways.

Clone Wars? 25 Episodes

For practical reasons - there are only so many licensable songs in the common era timeline they can use...

*That should read 1970, but I typo-ed and ya know...Kinja is what it is.

The thing that struck me about the trailer is that Take Me Home, Country Roads was written in 1970. Which is well after the divergence point between our timeline and Fallout’s.

It’s been a long time since I saw it, but remember liking both Leguizamo and Martin Sheen’s performances. They were living up to the level of camp that the production design implied.

Finally, someone who I can agree with on that stupid ghost question.
