Skyrim. Jumping your horse off the game’s highest peak. The physics are insanely bad, and you get a death sequence that looks like a scarecrow rolling down Olympus Mons for approx. 6 minutes.

*realistic* humans in games can’t pull off comedy, because they trip and fall into the uncanny valley. Stylize sprites, or make characters cartoons or caricatures, and comedy works.

I feel like this article sells borderlands short when it comes to comedy. The whole series is basically Mad Max via Tex Avery, save for the franchise’s highlight, the DnD themed DLC, which is basically Mad Max: Beyond Westeros...via Tex Avery.

I like The Boys for the same reasons I like On Cinema, another series likely to drive off most new comers, ie., all the weird mythos, character quirks, the seeming disregard for guests/audience, etc. I hated HH the first few times I listened, then at some point I gave it another chance and it clicked. As they often…

“shock jock”...wow, that’s maybe the last descriptor I’d every expect to hear applied to those two weirdos.

Yeah, I don’t see how you top part 3. Part 3 couldn’t top the first 20 minutes of Part 3. There was nowhere to go but down after John Wick vs. An Actual Goddamn Giant and John Wick in An Actual Goddamn Armory.

It’s funny you mention it, because 1993 was exactly the one year that I took star wars REALLY seriously, because I got the VHS box set for Christmas that year and I was ten, which is an appropriate age to take it seriously.

Yeah, yeah, it's a retread, sure. What if instead, the bad guys come up with some sort of huge, planet destroying weapon. Maybe one that's like part of a planet or the size of a planet.

It feels like Tarantino imitating the Coen brothers (instead of someone from the 1970s).

I could be way off base, but I suspect faulty memory and warped perception make most folks confuse youth with the present more so than the other way around.

The whole isolation cans on a baby thing still bothers me any time I see it. Maybe if your baby/infant needs massive protective head gear, this is one completely unnecessary adventure said baby need not attend.

A woman?!

That’s pretty much Peak Internet: An arbitrary list of not-great movies, lots of people complaining about it.

Meh, I’m sure they have a “good idea” using statistical assumptions, just not a perfect one. A show/movie runs to timeout (something they’ve tightened over time), you discount it. A login randomly fires on some IP or server unfamiliar to the host account, you discount it. As for “family watching”, well, I’m guessing…

Before this year, death metal was competing for my least favorite metal sub genre. But this year....holy hell. I've listened to that tomb mold record at least 20 times.

Yeah...I was expecting whiterose to say “oh dear, I’ll just have to fall back on my immense real estate holdings, diversified stocks and bonds, material wealth, political connections, and army of thugs and assassins.”

Not to mention, “one million dollars” just feels like a lazy, unrealistic joke. If they’d have called it a “$16,749 legal restitution and enforcement fee”, then maybe I’m actually worried.

I recall a ~6 mo. sweet spot in my late 20s where I didn’t have crushing debt or children, but I wasn’t gaming much because I could afford to go places.

I don’t buy anyone in the Irishman as under 65 years old, including the actors who are actually under 65. That scene of De Niro shakily curbstomping a shopkeep while fighting not to lose his balance, all to protect his (correction: great-great-grand) daughter...yikes.

Not an idiot, per se, but chastising someone for not knowing the meaning of term about which people are continually arguing to define does make you a sort of jackass.
