The sound quality will be fine - it's basically a tiny MP3 player with a headphone socket from the looks of things. So long as it doesn't have a tiny speaker actually built into the bag it'll be the same quality as the files the majority of people stream. I can (sort of) see why you might release it as a limited

I can just about watch the third - I think the second and third are both hamstrung by a really convoluted plot, which tries to cover too many philosophical points and just gets tangled. I still don't 100% understand the plot of the sequels, as it relates to iterations of the Matrix and the Chosen One. The third

Spot the non-Brit…

I'm not sold on Parseltongue being a conlang. I can't really remember but I'm pretty sure J. K. Rowling never writes out any phrases in the books at all, and it only appears on screen about 5 times. I get that it was probably included in the list because it's different sound-wise, but I'd be amazed if there was

Wait - what are Canada doing at the moment?
Don't you dare fuck Canada up - that's my failsafe muster point when the rest of the English speaking world goes to shit! Do I need to start learning German?

Seriously?! Who doesn't like this movie? It's one of my favourites. Not because it's 'worthy' or anything - but God it's fun… I love almost everything about it. And it just looks so different. You can tell that an abnormal portion of the budget went on design.

In the 90s, shooting a bad guy strapped to a rocket through a building into a helicopter didn't necessarily mean you were making a parody. That sort of shit went down in 90s Bond films too.

Yeah - pretty sure that he's talking about the stuff with his wife and the scenes in the hotel where she thinks she's going to have to have sex with a stranger - set up by her husband because she considered cheating on him with a conman.
All of that definitely wouldn't be in the film today without being drastically

I think he's an antihero for a couple of seasons, at least. And even later on, he's intelligent enough to beat odds, and kill some pretty irredeemable people in ways that make you root for him briefly. But he's definitely not likeable by the end, and he's not really meant to be.

Poor Cyril - literally the one person that didn't end up on that list! He fills an important role, even though it's an annoying one!
Lana gets stuck playing the "straight-woman" so she suffers in terms of how fun she can be.
And Cheryl is too batshit insane and random to really be an objectively good character.
But the

I think Breaking Bad is better than BCS for precisely the same reason. Breaking Bad revolved around an arsehole. Not even a typical antihero, but a pathetic man who completely got caught up with delusions of grandeur. That makes it a far more unique and interesting show. Anyone can write a show about a likeable guy.

I think the Goron reward would be really useful, if you could turn it off. But the fact that it always activates when your shield is raised makes it super easy to waste on pathetic enemies.

I have a friend who did the Gerudo dungeon before the Rito too. I guess with the map as big as it is, you do a lot of warping so it depends what you come to first. It definitely helped that I hit the Gerudo dungeon last though, as by that point I'd got the full rubber outfit which made the Thunderblight pretty

In terms of useful gear - I was assuming that once I beat the Zora Divine Beast I would get the rest of the outfit that went with my Zora tunic, but it seems like I was mistaken. I'm guessing that somehow I missed things in the Zora Domain. The rest of the swim boosting clothes must be around there surely…

I've heard that you don't need to defeat any of the Divine Beasts to beat Ganon. I think someone at Nintendo was saying that strictly there's nothing to stop you paragliding from the Great Plateau and heading directly to Hyrule Castle to destroy him. But maybe I was misinterpreting - I started at the Zora Domain and

Yeah - the Goron beast is kind of disappointing in terms of reward, though it was probably also the easiest to kill. The Rito and Zora rewards are extremely useful. Not spent enough time using the Gerudo reward yet to know whether it's going to help me in battle much.

I'm not really a gamer, but man, can Nathan Fillion make anything seem like it's going to be awesome.

I think I may be getting over Breath of the Wild slightly - I'm still playing it for hours every day. It's still the best game I've ever played (after adjustment for nostalgia). But there was about 20 hours before the first Divine Beast, and an additional 15 hours before the second. The last two I've pretty much done

I realise every time that I get to a stable that I should have used my journey thinking of decent names. My giant horse is called Kreiger because ginger and relatively scary in a friendly way. But otherwise I've been mostly sticking to very predictable horse names (Dobbin, Shadowfax, Greywind).

Except - Trent really doesn't seem to have the voice to carry that. I mean no offence to the actor who plays him: he got by fine in The Trent Is Getting Ready Song, but I wouldn't want him doing more than little jokes.
