I read both books all the way through a few years ago back-to-back. The first one was pretty good, though the first third was dreadfully slow. I enjoyed the university material more than I did the prior section. The second book felt like it was all over the place. There's a section where Kvothe spends what feels like…

That's what I've heard! I'm watching for a price drop and I'm playing Dark Souls III and Star Fox Zero right now, but I'm excited to play the game. I loved the earlier Ratchet games.

I was optimistic about this one because it at least looked like the PS4 game. I guess I'll just get the game instead.

The Superman Animated Series from the 90s, while not my favorite of the major DC animated shows of that era, was a pretty good take on the character. I say that as someone who didn't even grow up watching it. I'm old enough, but I watched Batman and always felt Superman was lame back in the 90s, so I didn't watch the…

I've played several of them recently. Some are better than others, and they're almost all indie studios. Teslagrad was really good. I got that for free on PSN last summer and actually bought the physical disc after playing it all the way through because I wanted to support them.

Haha I don't have too many eShop games downloaded on my 3DS, but because I couldn't take my wife's Animal Crossing save file from her, I had to forfeit my like 3 or 4 eShop games for exactly the reasons you explained when I got my New 3DS XL last year.

Actually, I think you and I are more or less on the same page. The first party software on the Wii U is among the best Nintendo's offered in years in my opinion. Each Nintendo console has its hits, but I'm consistently impressed with the Wii U's games. It's all the other stuff that's a problem.

I'm so sick of this show. It used to be really good. At least I think it used to be good.

Today I'm looking forward to playing Pokken Tournament. The game looks surprisingly good and it's receiving generally positive reviews. I was just saying to a few friends that I really want the Wii U to be better than I think Nintendo wants it to be. The Wii U has a bunch of really high quality games, but they can't…

Skyward Sword had me hooked until the replaying area thing kicked in where you have to revisit the three core regions 3x each, albeit exploring different sections. Groose and Zelda are great in that game. I thought Groose was only okay at first—he reminded me of Gaston from Disney's Beauty and the Beast—but his…

I'll have to look that up. I actually have played both of those series over the last two-ish years. Darksiders is the more formulaic of the two, particularly its sequel. I liked the first game quite a bit, but Darksiders 2 had so many dungeons and they looked so similar. That series is really good, mixing God of War…

Agree with the article pretty much from start to finish. I just got to the Goron Mines dungeon the other day. I've always hated the overworld in this one because it's so compartmentalized. It was a huge disappointment after Ocarina, Majora, and Wind Waker.

The Hobbit was two pretty good movies stretched into
three. There was so much material that wasn't necessary. The opening 7 minutes of backstory are completely useless. The flashback about Thorin and how he got the Oakenshield name could have been done in like 3 or 4 lines of dialogue over a pan of Thorin brooding on…

I haven't actually seen Mockingjay Part 2 because of this. I read the book and know basically how the movie is going to play out. I was just so turned off by Part 1, especially after Catching Fire was quite good.

The Grinder is one of the most brilliant shows on TV right now. It reminds me a little of the meta humor of Community. Fred Savage is a wonderful straight man in this context to play off Rob Lowe's absurdity and provide some real world grounding to the characters and the plot. It's a fun series, very well written and…

That would be Castlevania Legacy of Darkness. I called it a sequel/remake, but it's probably better described as a Director's Cut of Castlevania 64. A lot of the same content as in the original, but it had more areas and I think 4 playable characters instead of 2. It also has my favorite remix of The Sinking Old…

I love Castlevania 64. It's clunky, the graphics are subpar even taking the N64's limitations into account, and the jumping mechanics are godawful. However, it's actually one of my favorite Castlevania games because it's so decidedly nontraditional.

A buddy of mine torrented the show too for exactly this reason. I have
to wonder if the exact same set of episodes would have been deemed a
financial success on Hulu. The season wasn't perfect, but it was definitely enjoyable and creative.

Very true!

You don't know how glad I am to hear that. My father and I are both completely impatient with certain things, so we both got a huge kick out of the sloth trailer. My wife said she could just see me losing my mind if I were actually there in the movie talking to the sloth. Then she bought me one of the plush sloths for…
