Oddly enough what annoys me most is that there’s no gambling to this game. You do the QTE’s, and if you do them correct and fast you win, every time, and if you do them incorrect or slow you lose, every time (even when the trick you do just gives the comte a little more info). No bluffs, no mind-games; everything is ex…

...did you mean Layers of Fear? People are dumping on Medium because it was dull, but the clip in the article is from Layers of Fear

We should all hope that Rian Johnson is never allowed an opportunity to work on the hallowed Star Wars franchise again, so his time can be spent on movies that are actually good. Michael Bay should be responsible for every Star Wars movie going forward; script and direction.

...do you think that when people complain that these aren’t real movies, they’re saying they’re not ‘dense’ enough?

I guess by Bruce-force you mean getting Bruce McCulloch to browbeat them? “Well why won’t you do it? Are you some sort of jerk? Some sort of prick? You... human loser!?”

This is an argument I only see in gamer circles. Imagine telling anyone else - “you could do your job and make ten thousand dollars, but why not do your job and make a hundred instead? A hundred bucks is nothing to scoff at!” Or in terms of investment - if you can invest a dollar to make a hundred bucks or to make…

...isn’t this just the manga “Sadako-san and Sadako-chan”?

...there is nothing to this other than the genre. No hook in the gameplay, world, or writing to differentiate it. Basically - “this will be great for CRPG fans if it turns out to be well written and the combat’s fun and there’s something unique about it.” Ok.

...you’re like Captain America, but instead of being trapped in Arctic ice in the 40s, you were trapped in ice on the border between Sweden and Norway in the early 70s. All of the bad things you mention are completely outdated; all of the good things, unfortunately, are as well.

The mnemonic for spelling Jan-ken is easy - it goes Tsunomaki, Tsunomaki, Tsunomaki, Tsunomaki, Tsunomaki, Tsunomaki, Tsunomaki, Tsunomaki, Tsu... No... Maki... JAN-KEN-PON!

This seems like a fair protest... but this - “It also noted that the show was an embarrassment nationally—and internationally—for Koganei” - seems like a drastic over-estimation of the show’s impact, and Koganei’s brand recognition.

Do you not see a difference between civilians playing action war games and the actual military publicly promoting themselves through action war games? 

“Manga fans complain that anime adaptation is not the manga.” I mean sure Kotaku - if you want you can write that article every day of your lives for the rest of history, but I’m not sure what anybody gains from this.

My rollercoaster - “Holy shit, Robert Altman died? Oh - it’s not the actual Robert Altman, so I guess he’s still alive at least... let’s just google that and... oh no.”

Look, they’ve already explained this: IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE TO DESIGN FEMALE CHARACTERS! Do you have a degree in shitty plastic toy-making? Do you know how much expensive boob plastic they’ve saved? Not to mention that women figures have to have long, detailed braided hair which is a nightmare to mold. This is just…

That dollar sign in $200 million is a typo, right? It can’t be as cheap as one dollar per dose?

“...and just what made it one of the most destructive cults in history.” Uh what?

And - not that it’s hugely important, but if we’re discussing the terms - I’ve always heard ‘election challenger’ and ‘poll watcher’, not poll challenger, but maybe that differs by state?

Stop saying ‘appropriation’ if you can’t give a clear accounting for what is taken, its value, and from whom. Taking the spotlight from black musicians who have invested in their culture and could have had a chance to profit from it if it weren’t for whitewashed ripoffs is appropriation. Dressing up in Swedish folk…
