AoS downgraded to 12, below...Echo, Luke Cage, Hawkeye, Agent Carter (the irony!), Ms Marvel and Loki!?

It’s like poetry, it rhymes.

It seems like that’s a bit of a distortion of the author’s point. They didn’t say they could predict every plot development, but that at every point they knew the game would continue to be polished and competent. The comparison here is with BG3's relative lack of “polish,” or more accurately its willingness to take…

What, the speech to Lindsey Duncan at the end of Waters of Mars didn’t make this list!? That’s a glaring omission.

Lots of people talking about which movies are overhyped on here, so I thought I’d weigh in on The Offering. It has a 74% on RT, and is billed as putting “a unique — and often genuinely scary — spin on demonic possession horror tropes” but that is an incredibly generous description.

The difference is that while you were a teenager in the 90s this guy was a fetus. He wasn't a teen in the 90s he would have been BECOMING a teenager in 2007. That's a world of difference.

Friendly reminder that this guy was BORN in 1994. He didn’t graduate in 94 or start high school in 94. He was BORN in 1994. Means he would have been about 10 in 2004, and probably starting high school in 2006/2007.

A 65% on Metacritic does not exactly scream “universal acclaim.”

He gives a big old speech about how he was broken by having to kill one innocent person and the only way he can share his pain is to kill ALL of the innocent people and maybe a bunch of Skrulls?

I’m probably going to regret wading into these waters, but cultural appropriation usually refers to a dominant group adopting (or profiting) off the cultural identity of a minority group. And, typically, the adoption is done in a way that’s exploitative or disrespectful to the minority culture.

Mayfar Witches was terrible. I feel bad for Alexandra Daddario. She has to deliver some truly awful writing. The show wears its budget, or lack thereof, on its sleeve. The finale in particular is a standout of shoddy sets and cheap digital effects that would look dated in a B-movie from 10 years ago.

Does it bother you when people call them “the Coen brothers” and not “Joel and Ethan Coen?”

Morale makes it easier but the first time I went into this fight I had 21+ and I got my ass handed to me before the second phase. Morale absolutely makes it easier, but it definitely won’t let you mop the floor with this guy. 

Just want to chime in that in my gameplay experience, his critical blow never appeared unless you did a bunch of damage to him, first. So running and dodging in the second phase did not work for me. I had to learn to deflect, get up close and get in attacks, then get some distance for his critical attack.

I fully agree. What did this article actually SAY about the flashbacks? That they exist, but they don’t appear predictably (the way that the ones in Lost did)?

But even if all (or ANY) of that is true...

Yeah, it's a shame we won't get to see any of our favourites. Rox, Nigel, Derphne...

You’re correct in that killing Alicent, Otto, Aegon, Aemond, Larys and Cole would not automatically force all the lords loyal to them to suddenly bend the knee to Rhaenyra.

Counterpoint: season 3 was a serious and noticeable drop in the quality of the writing on this show, going from something that was shockingly clever to depressingly mundane and low-brow.

“Tamblyn describes the show as being set in “a world without cisgender men,” but that seems to be directly contradicted by the new trailer that dropped today, which shows a lone cis man surviving said cataclysm. Unless he’s not cis?”
