I would say PS1 game Legend of Mana. I could describe most individual elements of the game succinctly, but the overall package is extremely odd. And all these years later I still don't understand the equipment crafting system.

I think Knight is now available for sale on PC again, but I have no idea how well it might run.

The PC version of Arkham Asylum has always run like the smoothest of butter, but from City on Rocksteady just can't be bothered to optimize things. City runs pretty well these days, although their video codec or something is objectively worse than whatever they use on consoles. Don't know about Knight.

I'm working through a Wood Elf campaign in Total War: Warhammer. Even after almost 150 hours of playtime, I'm still impressed at how different one campaign can be from another despite taking place on a single, pre-made map. I'm also consistently impressed at how well-realized the Warhammer setting is. The factions all

At least she was never drawn by Richard Corben.

"The fact that she’s going to be in this movie suggests that Marshall is digging relatively deep into the Hellboy canon"

The problem with Applebee's isn't so much its menu, it's that it's unspeakably mediocre. I have never been to an Applebee's where I didn't leave feeling disappointed with the food even as I am unable to outright call it bad, per se.

It always did better on streaming.

Stop teasing me, universe!

Or, to put it another way: Genghis Khan is remembered as a brutal warlord who sacked cities and killed untold thousands with a similar "submit or die" philosophy, but he also forged a unified empire that was a model of stability, culture, and economics for hundreds of years.

I'm not sure what sending them home would've accomplished; that isn't something that is typically done during times of war, and the reason seems obvious.

"Serve or die" is essentially the entire feudal system. If that's slavery, then every lesser house in Westeros is a slave to the great houses who are in turn slaves to the Iron Throne.

They're bastards with no claim to the throne and his "evidence" of incest was based solely on an obscure line in a geneological record that 90% of the population of Westeros would never be able to read, let alone access. She could've solved her problems by just burning that book.

She consistently offers people the option of "serve or die," but always offers ample opportunity to avoid that situation. Hence why Jon Snow was never in any danger of being roasted alive.

She does it all the time, though! She burned slavers to death! She crucified hundreds of people! She burned the entire Dothraki government (such as it was) alive! She is well-established as being the kind of person who brutally kills her opponents (after offering them generous alternatives) and yet many characters in

The way she described the situation is entirely in line with her behavior elsewhere. If she was constructing a lie, it was an unusually self-aware lie.

Long story shorter: Jon can absolutely defer to Daenarys if he so chooses, and very well could do so specifically leverage greater autonomy for the North than he would otherwise get.

If he ever continues the series, I'm curious what Martin will do with Cersei. She's a lot more overtly unhinged in the books and generally tolerated a lot less than she is on the show.

A quick Google shows that Martin has said:

But where does generational divide factor into Targaryen succession? The son of a king would have more weight than the daughter of a king, yes, but does the son of a prince have more weight than the daughter of a king?
