I'd be surprised. Victoria has never been one of their better selling titles, Victoria II was kind of a 'we know this won't do well but we'll make it anyway' sort of game. EU is their flagship title, Hearts of Iron has always been pretty big because World War II, and Crusader Kings, while not enormously popular in its…

I'm going to go ahead and say that Larp Trek is easily the best webcomic I've read all year.

400 Days was interesting but fairly light. I feel like if it was a game on its own nobody would have given it a second thought; the goodwill from the first season and the recognition it is essentially a prologue for the second is what gives it is strength.

I have been a Paradox fanboy since those days I played way too much Europa Universalis II in school. I wouldn't say I liked all of their releases this year - March of Eagles is the kind of dumbed-down Paradox experience I'm not keen on, but ON THE OTHER HAND, there was another Victoria II expansion, and the Victoria…

I think it's because Cece has always been the most tertiary of New Girl's cast. Yes, she's in the cast, but she's not in the Loft, she's extraneous to the show's premise and connected to it entirely by her relationship to some of the characters… she is, in essence, the Roz.

Nick Miller has been the kind of character I should not relate to as much as I do.

I don't think it's that genre distinctive. It's a hangout show with a romance. Lots of hangout shows have that - most hangout shows, probably (Ross, Rachel, etc.) The pop culture is just… well, every sitcom feels obliged to riff on pop culture to a degree simply because it is a shared frame of reference.

I'd say the most haphazard growth is Winston. He just keeps collecting weird character traits unlikely to be mentioned again - like being really bad at puzzles, or colourblind (I think the latter has been contradicted already.) The best one of these is Winston never knowing how far to take a prank - they are all…

I thought New Girl might get grouped with Brooklyn Nine Nine because they're on Fox. But yes, Happy Endings would have been great (especially - besides both shows being very similar - Damon Wayans Jr. is on both.)

Exactly. I'm just so fond of New Girl's cast. I think Brooklyn is getting a heart (the Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes shows it can have a bit of depth if it wants) but New Girl has a great ensemble with a lot of history between them.

I keep knowing people whose opinions I respect recommend Girls pretty highly, so I don't know if I'll try it again. (I bailed in the pilot, but I must admit to having no actual hostility towards Dunham when watching it, though somehow she seems to inspire this reason.)

Interesting he specifies younger as opposed to, you know, experienced with making games. (Papers Please is a really great analogy though.)

I never said it wasn't. But BBC America has Britishness as its 'brand' (even a UK logo in the end credits) and it does try to present Orphan Black as if it's British, so that distinction is important.

This episode on the one hand has a dark, nasty horror post-apocalyptic plot that's as engaging and as unpleasant as one could want, a surreal kind of logic that's creepy and engaging and weird… but then that Twilight Zoney twist is just… wow.

On the subject of a third series, last I heard Charlie Brooker said there are scripts, bu Channel 4 hasn't recommissioned it. As series two aired early this year UK-wise, I think if a renewal was coming it would have happened by now but what I do I know.

A. Best episode.

Yeah, American… continent. PSYCHE!

Maybe a brief cameo in Giancarlo Esposito's John Brown movie, to set up their team up with Lincoln and Frederick Douglass in The Abolishers?

Can't wait for Django's cameo in the Agents of ROOTS TV series.

You know she's still falling towards him, though.
