I dunno, you sort of articulated a lot of the problems I had in your own response:

Hung has three things going for it: Lennie James, Rebecca Creskoff, and Jane Adams (in that order). The problem is just about everything else; does anybody care about the main character? His family? His wife (though I'll admit, nice to see her finally flip out)? His best friend (who even the show didn't care about…
I honestly don't mind the lack of story in a platformer, though I will say that at least Super Meat Boy mocked its own lightly written plot.
Funny thing is, this is a game that I'd buy episodic content for!
I've spent at least ten hours so far, replaying as I go (for perfection), and I'm a little over 50% of the way through. I'm assuming that as the levels get harder, the amount of time it takes to go through will increase, although I do think of myself as a fairly good platformer. (For instance, the GamePro review . . .…
To be fair, Braid has you jumping on the heads of enemies, then rewinding long enough to jump on their heads again, only this time with enough momentum built up in order to reach a higher platform. Mario is about the brainless stomping; Braid made you consider the PURPOSE of stomping; therein lies the main difference…
I think I actually went out and bought some Freezepop after playing through Frequency and then Amplitude. Much as I enjoyed their transition to Guitar Hero and then Rock Band and Dance Central, I'll miss those originals (including Rock Band: Unplugged, which was essentially Amplitude HD). The closest I've found…
If we're going to talk about good stories and innovative touch-screen design, why not bring up The World Ends With You?
Let me just go on the record to say that if Glover and Brie actually did commentary for "The Dark Knight," in character, I'd actually buy that DVD. And given that it's "Community," I wouldn't be surprised if Harmon was trying to make that happen. SYNERGY.
For the record, I wanted to add one thing that wasn't making any sense. Slapping a student for making a comment about your sexuality apparently carries a two-week suspension, but rigging votes only carries a one-week suspension? (I'm also not sure why anybody needed to confess, given that they couldn't prove it was…
Anybody else think that Santana's abuela is a closeted lesbian? Wait, hold on. This is Glee. Of *course* she'll be a closeted lesbian.
I know I'm not a cop or anything, but a slight suggestion for the boys and girls in blue….
PS. Go read the comments over in the Dexter area. If you think I'm harsh on Hung . . . . at least there are *moments* in Hung.
Pizawle, to be clear, I'm not saying that you shouldn't enjoy the show, nor disputing that there are those who do. You are obviously *not* one of the people who might be bothered by the gross dramatic flaws (and narrative plummeting) that occurs in this so-called "dark comedy." But the reason I'd like a show like this…
Seriously, is nobody else bothered by the fact that the central character, Ray, has absolutely no real conflicts going on this season? The Tanya/Lennie stuff was nice, but since it hasn't actually led to anything yet — as opposed to last season, where it had her showing down with Lenore, and then quickly reverting to…
Nah. We blame the smart people who watch American Idol and X Factor even more than the stupid people, because they should understand the consequences of throwing ratings in that direction.
Or how about this? Travis's subconscious/split personality/wounded psyche/dark passenger/horrible plot device knows that, now that he's killed his sister, the cop who was investigating him has surely pieced part of the puzzle together. Therefore, in order to make Travis look less involved, or to look like more of an…
Yeah, somebody mentioned the whole "stating the obvious" drinking game, too, but that was one of the weakest scenes in this entire episode. It was obvious that La Guerta was hiding something about the case — even Deb sniffed it out! — but then after she gave an even weaker excuse about closure rates, the writers found…
Well, look, it's one thing to assume that the suspect you're chasing, who has taken your gun, may be reaching for it. It's quite another to assume that the man you're chasing has suddenly split himself into *two* different people, each apparently with a gun, and each of whom need to be killed.
If their goal is to get him into the White House, on the heels of a man implicated in a sex scandal, they probably should have encouraged Brody *not* to have sex with his CIA investigator.
