I suppose I would say BOTW shrines have more gameplay variety while Bethesda mini-dungeons have more storytelling variety. I still appreciate it when a Skyrim or Fallout 3-4 dungeon has a quirky or tragic backstory for the folks that were living in it.

I, like many, would have loved some touch screen menus but cest' la vie. The Wii U version gives you the game experience.

The first 16 shrines were fine. Now I'm hitting some dead ends. I've left some shrines after the adventure game style tactic of trying every rune/item on every object and not getting a response. I've left others when I couldn't make sense of the physics. The puzzle seems to be telling me to do X but I can't seem to…

I couldn't get the game to register my movements when I flicked the controller but I'm told this varied greatly from person to person depending on the positioning of the TV sensor bar.

Hojo doesn't get enough credit. He's a genuinely creepy Final Fantasy villain.

Sexy power armor was the one upside of the endless elevator rides. The camera angles are designed for ogling your crew mates.

The narrative and world building in Links Awakening are delightful. It's the only time I've truly been invested in a Zelda plot.

I love everything about this.

Glad to read the leads are interacting more this episode. I'm getting tired of watching them argue with their parents (though that's still happening too).

The kid has flashbacks of his late pet frog and an abusive co-dependent relationship with his tank.

Honestly that's part of why I prefer the controversial Dragon Age Inquisition. The team may not like each other but they realize there's a world destroying evil to fight. DAO and DA2's cast just want you to stroke their egos and make them sandwiches.

I shared Breath of the Wild with my co-workers last night which made me the belle of the ball. They were happy ignoring the tutorial quest prompts, climbing trees and lighting things on fire. (The straight guys also enjoyed taking off Link's clothes.) It reminded me of 1996 when Super Mario 64 was playable at the…

Agreed. The trailer suggests British character comedy, flashback laden murder mystery, a few lines of dialogue that vaguely suggest a larger conspiracy, and then some father/pregnant daughter bonding. My takeaway was that a lot of actresses I like are looking vaguely disappointed in Jim Broadbent.

The outfits are one thing but no one ever seems to talk about the scene where Adam shoots Samus in the back!. It's unprovoked abuse that nearly gets her killed. The explanation he gives afterwards makes no sense and he shrugs it off with "Sorry if I got a little rough with you." There are so many reasons why this is…

Now I'm imagining a series where each season is a different actress Feud. Sarah Bernhardt vs. Helena Duse. Christine Baranski and Cybill Shepherd on Cybill. The final season could involve the press's attempt to stir up drama between Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth during the Tony campaign for Wicked. All the while…

The Broadway cast album has the line "There's nothing wrong with being 50 unless you're acting 20." I'm not sure if that line was in the film or if they've kept it for the current revival.

I'd seen Loy's work in The Thin Man series before I saw her play a dominatrix in The Mask of Fu Manchu. It's quite a contrast. She has the leading man stripped and tortured while barely suppressing her glee. It was downright kinky (and homoerotic once Boris Karloff joins in.)

When I saw the weak stage adaptation, Applause, I was reminded that Davis's Margot only carries the first act. The film shifts focus to Holm and Baxter. The stage show keeps Margot on stage arguing with Bill and crying in her dressing room but she never interacts with Eve again. It throws the show off balance and…

Agatha Christie was big on "Murder in the ***" titles.

Delightful, though Mercedes McCambridge steals the film right from under Crawford.
