And it's HBO! They've made other good shows!

I loved its ability to constantly subvert my expectations. There would be moments when I thought "Oh! We're doing that trope" and then it would just take it in a completely other direction.It managed to the the ultimate Zombie game of the generation without me ever feeling like it was a Zombie game. I also love it for…

That moment is possibly my favorite moment in gaming this year. It definitely had pacing issues, though. Its hectic pacing made me forget to look through areas to find voxphones.

You mean all the time?

Last of Us is one of the most unique AAA experiences I've ever had. The violence is brutal and ugly and disturbing I rarely found myself actually enjoying the combat scenes because so many times they just made me feel dirty. Especially those ultra close quarters moments where you couldn't help but feel some catharsis,…

That's my stance as well. I personally enjoyed the combat as well so I guess that seperates me from the main camp. The relationship between Booker and Elizabeth was compelling throughout and that coupled with its comments on the nature of sequels and video games in general. As well as that gut punch of an ending made…

I hear he's going to be in Lincoln 2 as well!

I thought the Zombie aspects of the movie to actually be a lot of fun (especially the plane sequence, great set piece right there), but you are correct that it was lacking any sort of personal connection. If the characters were better I might have actually quite liked it, instead it was just relatively entertaining…

Crying maintains an air of control and respectability. Weeping does not.

Stay after the credits of 12 Years a Slave to see how that movie's universe connects with Django Unchained!!!

You've gotten to the point of simply not making a lick of sense. It's kind of sad.

I still think of him as that guy from Atlantis who also happened to be in game of thrones…I don't know what that says about me but I assume it isn't good.

He doesn't like that it makes her closer to becoming an EGOT

Well that comes from us assuming that because of manifest destiny we would soon control the whole continent. Since that didn't happen we decided that "America" actually only describe the area we already occupied. Its surprisingly easy to win when you're allowed to change the rules!

*10th doctor voice* Weeeeellll…

Halo pays waaaaaaaaaaaay too much attention to the plot for the kind of game that it wants to be. The story of the original Halo games was actually quite engaging, but it makes the mistake games often make and relegates all story/characters to the cutscenes. It wants to be both a story driven game and a mindless…

I wouldn't describe him as "chatty" but he definitely says words. I think we can all agree that Master Chief is a terrible character who is only popular because he looks cool.

I would say that while I am no huge fan of silent protagonists, it has worked well in many games. Mainly Bioshock 1. I can't imagine playing that game with an actual speaking protagonist. Especially since thematically, the game was critiquing the unquestioning subservience with which we play games. We do what we're…

Arrow is the only show that's really scratching that ensemble genre show itch I have. Its the same kind of itch that shows like Buffy or Angel scratch (not saying Arrow is as good as either of those shows). There are definitely shows that I love more than Arrow, but not of them compel me to immediately watch the next…
