Morning Glories #50 is a difficult book to read when you have remember basically nothing about Morning Glories #1-49. Other than Casey, I remember nothing about any of the characters, who they are, or what they are trying to do (which isn't helped by the book being super vague about what anyone is trying to do and…

Where is Vance Astro? And that guy with the really square head?

Speed/athletics increase movement speed, but it was still agonizingly slow until like 80 or 90 speed. You are right, that while you walk at a slightly more tolerable speed initially in Skyrim (that's still too slow), you can never speed up which is pretty terrible.

Speaking of movement speed, encumbrance is a game mechanic I wish would just disappear. It guess in theory it keeps you from just walking around with a million healing items and forces you to manage your inventory, but it never actually stops you from doing the former, and is a really sloppy way of doing the latter.…

Morrowind made you chose between moving agonizingly slow and using an item that makes you move so fast that none of the enemies can hit you. Its such a strange design decision.

The mundanity of the Velen/No-Man's Land is used to such great effect in that one quest near the end of the game where you go to different dimensions (or the fairy tale world in the expansion). The other worlds look so much cooler and alien then they do in games like Skyrim/Oblivion because you weren't already walking…

Imagine how great the someone would be at potions if they knew any math beyond addition.

But Jack and Bobby is in the Berlanti-verse right? Season 5 of Arrow is going to be all about him helping President Bobby use the inspirational lessons Bobby learned from his dead brother to win the cold war against china.

Black Panther, the comic book character, appeared a few months before the Black Panther Party was founded, but I don't think the black panther party took their name from the comic.

The part when Kian went to a literal concentration camp that was full of statues of the wacky wizard guy was an interesting choice…

Making the climax of dreamfall chapters [SPOILERS] Saga showing up and fixing everything because she knew the future or something was a really goofy choice.

The part of that one issue of Nova where he comes back and tells Iron Man that he doesn't care about this boring, petty earth shit, he's too busy fighting space wars is pretty great. That might have been an initiative, not a civil war tie-in though.

A young avengers with Kate Bishop and Ms. Marvel is something I would read.

In the comics, I feel like every writer gives Wong a completely different job. The marvel wiki lists him as Strange's servant, and apparently he has a long backstory about coming from a long line of servants, but depending on who's writing him, he can be the guy who answers Strange's door and dry cleans the cloak of…

This felt impossible to not be spoiled on if you didn't watch the season immediately. Within 24 hours, every entertainment site was running "Interview with OiTNB's ___" with a description that was included something like "____ reacts to Poussey's death" that showed up in all the twitter/facebook links.

Morrowind is great, but it was always aggressively inaccessible and things like the graphics, the convoluted fast travel mechanics and the wikipedia-esq walls of directions for each quest haven't aged super well. I think its probably still great, even if you don't have nostalgia for it, but it takes a few hours to…

Its like a whole book of just the like interstitial BPRD issues that happen between arcs where they go to a town, see its fucked up, try to fix it and fail, except they've replaced all the cool inventive stuff BPRD does in those issues with Abe moping and people saying really vague things about his destiny.

90% of my Witcher 3: Blood and Wine playthrough has been wandering around the countryside playing Gwent. There is a guy in your house who will play gwent with you whenever you want!

I finally got around to playing Dark Souls 2, and have some random thoughts.
