I hope I’ll be pleasantly surprised, but the only people I’ve seen that didn’t like the anime that much were those who didn’t really understand the bits tied to Japanese culture. And fact is, those bits are essential for the movie to work smoothly; it’s just a random lovecom with fantasy highlights otherwise.

So so so glad they went back to old school animations. That generic 3D shit was awful.

Great! Just keep in mind the scope here is much smaller than Foundation. The show follows a single community over the span of a few decades, so don’t expect any sort of colonization and expansion plot, nor any sort of long-term psychohistory engineering. The similarity lies only in how it handles human dynamics under…

The newer BSG is much more interesting, IMO. The original is all about the war, but the other is much more about deep philosophical questions surrounding the near extinction of humankind (e.g. what is human? How far should we let go of our principles in order to survive?). There’s decent fighting too, but it’s not the…

Considering pretty much all the writers left the company already, I think it’s pretty unlikely we’ll get a proper HL3 in any form.

Well, I’ve watched the first Markiplier playthrough, and the impression I get is that all this unrelenting madness is meant to emulate the magnitude of the trial that the small creature was going through.

Not true. Though I can only speak for Brazilian dubs, and I reckon it’s a difficult language to lip sync with English, which is a large cause of discomfort. Sure, they’ve improved over the years, and kid’s movies nowadays are actually quite well localized (often they even translate on-screen stuff!), but most dubs…

I’m intersted [sic], and I’m glad it’s in English.

Wow, talk about conceited. How do you think most people around the world watch movies? It’s either dubbed, usually badly, or subbed.

Chronicle had a pretty good premise, and a great first half, but I hated how it ended.

I’m pretty sure this will only cover the first half of the anime, if that much. But I’m not optimistic about this - specially since a lot of what made the anime great was how it took its time and developed in a natural pacing,…

So many precious snowflakes afraid their children can’t handle being corrupted by the irresistible sight of queer people.

I do believe anyone whose job is to entertain the masses, and whose money depends on their popularity, has a responsibility to at least do their best to listen to and care for their community. I feel he has been failing at that ever since he became famous (and honestly, I’ve always thought his videos were meant more…

It’s great for prototyping and maintenance, and for a game that keeps changing all the time that’s important. That said, Eve is not known for being particularly efficient, and I reckon that’s a large part of the reason.

Depending on the circumstances, a few hundred or thousand times slower. But that’s what people never get, it’s not meant to replace the performance-critical code. It’s meant to operate together with it, to make change-prone code easier to write and maintain. It’s not about what’s easier; for a game that keeps evolving…

ARG stands for Alternate Reality Game. It’s like a metagame outside the game, where real people get together to try to investigate the clues spread around some media (in this case, the game, but sometimes youtube videos or such) and figure out what to do with it. It usually involves many layers of interaction, like…

It’s 1:16 after the first trigger, so 2:16 total. I’ve tried it for an hour, but all the instructions I followed around were not clear on many points. I only figured some stuff out after watching ImTheBlueRanger’s walkthrough.

This Pokémon Go trend very much reminds me of Dennou Coil.

And so Wally became the Flash in Barry’s place, Jesse got superpowers and eventually Wally will have to retcon this event to save Barry.

But they did sort of invent doing that outside the game to enrich an otherwise storyless multiplayer game. At least, they were the first to do that right.

Is it a coincidence? o.o
