This game is certainly tonally faithful to the original(s). I'm also glad it doesn't resort to too much 'story' either. If I'm being picky I would say that it's only downfall is the signposting of each 'arena' where fights will commence. Doom was often an experience where carnage could happen at any moment, often…

Upvote for making me properly guffaw

Agreed, this felt alot less 'workman like', dialogue wise.

I thought this episode was the best so far,..it flowed well, the Ned fight was thrilling unlike some of the action so far and despite it not appearing to progress much, I found it more involving. Brans plot becomes more interesting the more ambiguous it gets for me. The whole Bran seeing the past story telling device…

Time will tell, but this sounds great. Another culmination of sounds with their trademark subtlety for flourishing things. Nigel knocked it out the park this time round too…very immersive and cinematic.

I'm hoping these last 2 episodes have moved enough pieces around..and killed off enough lesser characters to form a (fairly) cohesive..methodically paced end game. The pace is jarring and whilst enjoyable at times, certain scenes (mostly deaths) are more often that not, cheap thrills. This show had great buildup and…

Cds have always been pretty bad to me. One scratch and they're skipping (same with Vinyl I know but Vinyl has the whole 'ritual' factor of 'carefully' placing it on a turntable, cd feels more disposable by nature (especially with the ease to which it is duplicated)..terrible dynamic range in the early days (though its…

Anyone else notice the sound mix was especially isolated on Chucks foil jacket in the beginning? It was borderline annoying on my sound system, intentionally I'm guessing..highlighting that tension of Chucks presence.

Anyone else think Saoirse Ronan deserved best lead actress? Rooney Mara was also stellar this year as was Jacob Tremblay.

Sometimes I feel I must be losing it that Jacob Tremblay was not even nominated for best supporting actor for Room. (Or even lead..but hey these categories are getting more silly to pin down) He really was something outstanding this year.

I love me some Ennio as much as the next guy but the Hateful 8 nom seems like a pity vote rather than a genuinely good score to nominate..hell, some of it was scraps of the score from The Thing he dug up. After seeing the Hateful Eight, I found the score more or less unmemorable but that could of been the fact…

Todd Haynes oversight might be one of the biggest snubs in a long while. Adam McKay is barely a director. No visual style at all..just a good actors coach.

Carol without a best director nomination is a massive oversight. I'm surprised Sorkin had no nomination either as I preferred Steve Jobs to the Social Network..had more punch to the script. Quite funny too.

Pitchforks opening line to their Blackstar review seems a little off now in context… 'David Bowie has died many deaths yet he is still with us'

https://www.youtube.com/wat… - A great moment (someone already mentioned) where Bowie gets a Birthday message from Scott Walker.

There ain't many Bowies in this world. What an album Hunky Dory is..what a song Bewlay Brothers is…

If any episode deserved an A, it was this one. Just wonderful from start to finish.

This feels more like a Bsides collection of sorts..barely an album really. Love Salad Days and 2..but yeah found this one very forgettable.

Yes..yes..and yes

Albert clearly has alot of talent..mostly in his infectious guitar work..it's a shame great guitarists don't often have the extra goods to create truely interesting albums with more musical diversity. Stick to what you're good at I guess..but it doesn't always reward the ears so much over the course of the long form…
