Franklin Pierce wants a word.

The gameplay was a bigger deal at the time because it was a zombie survival horror that focused on stealth over violence. It was also an early standout in matching the feel of gameplay to the tension and environment. It’s one of those games that doesn’t feel like a big deal now because so many games that came after…

I meant to type “The world is a vampire”. Talk about an epic brain fart.

“Love is a vampire,” is the 90's version of overplaying “Please allow me to introduce myself,” in trailers.

I would watch 30 minutes of Animal screaming random crap each week so this looks fun.

Disney in Bane voice: “Oh, you think Florida’s corrupt government is your ally. But you merely adopted the corruption; I was born in it!”

Yeah, I was expecting an article about screwing over artists or stabbing employees in the back, not one ending policies that create false scarcity, reward resellers, and encourage elitist gatekeeping.

You make excellent points. Though I think the issue is less D&D media in particular and more just media in general. The choices are be conventionally hot or comic relief. When they make exceptions, it’s usually just making the comic relief conventionally hot.

Scanlan is conventionally hot. Just short. He’s basically Exandria’s Tom Cruise what with also being the chosen one of a public religious organization with secretive inner workings and all.

It’s not a -real- complaint, but it still makes me about 50% less interested in this when the wacky band of misfits is actually just a bunch of extremely conventionally attractive people with ‘quirks’.

“Hmm. Looks pretty good but what can you do to make it more... unsettling?”

“We can give it jerky, almost-organic motion, make the whole thing shake with every step, and have it sound like a chorus of a million damned souls.”

“Perfection.”

I predict it will soften its worst critiques of the wealthy and powerful and emphasize it’s a “collective” problem that we are “all responsible for.” They will be mostly presented as well-meaning but shortsighted people who are now trying to do the right thing but can’t because of all the unreasonable hatred directed…

I don’t know, BoBF was painful to watch. I could easily see a lot of people giving up on it before the relevant episode.

Because they have the kind of power where they can enact their frivolous whims with minimal effort, no matter how many people get screwed over in the process. When you can crash industries with a bad joke, not getting whatever you want feels like there has to be a conspiracy or saboteur behind it.

Did you really ever expect we weren’t going to Mandalore in a show called, “The Mandalorian?”

We’re going to get the canon history of the Mandalorians. While I agree that Mandalorians may be overused, I blame the EU and KOTOR games more than any of the canon stuff. We feel like we’ve heard too much about Mandalorians…

Song of the South, the Disney movie where the real villain is racism. Which doesn’t sound like a problem until you realize that the protagonist is also racism.

I’ve been pretty sure ever since the Sony acquisition that Brie Larson is getting Rogue’d.

Gilbert Gottfried should definitely be the Starfleet computer with Bobcat Goldthwait as the civilian computer voice.

They could retroactively make it work. Half of the next season of Mandalorian comes from plot points in an animated show that retroactively made a lot of the prequels work.
