I think it's less a "takedown" and more of an exploration. As the show goes on, the best I can do to explain what it's "about" would be the question: "What does it feel like at the top of the social ladder when everything is changing around you?" As the show goes on, it becomes clearer and clearer that Don and his…

Just makes it more likely the status ailment will land. I find that, without it, Poison misses more often than I'd like. With it, it's more reliable.

I think it does, but it's one of those really vague button prompt tutorials that are helpful to exactly no one.

Luckily, The Witcher 2 simplified the rhythm thing for attacks quite a bit. It's a lot more natural in TW2.

Here's my endgame build on Hard:

Ninja Theory has yet to sell me on their ability to do good combat, but yes, I would love to see them attempt a platformer. I think they have good instincts when it comes to that, and even though I thought the platforming in DmC was a bit limited, I imagine if they had to worry less about combat and could focus…

I can sympathize with a desire for more narrative, definitely. I just wish it could've come with the sort of frantic, high-skill-ceiling gameplay that DMC3 and 4 offered. It's not that DmC's gameplay is BAD—it's competently executed for sure, and I could even have seen myself enjoying it in a different context—but…

I'm mostly referring to DMC3 Dante, who was pretty much shrugged off every time he tried to do something "cool" in a cutscene. It was a really lovable running gag—every time he tried to impress someone or show off he ended up making an ass of himself.

Man, I'm not even sure Dante is ANY kind of cool in DmC.

I feel like I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the novel (as in, the fiction storytelling medium) was at one point considered low-class entertainment only fit for the intellectually bankrupt and uneducated masses.

I'm choosing to think of it like this:

I think the point is that the pain he suffered over the 400 years since the Time War is what enabled him to "change his mind" at this moment. Essentially, he needed 400 years to think it through, to see what COULD be if he really did go through with it.

Someone once suggested Tilda Swinton and now I can't get her out of my head for that role. She'd be so creepy and perfect.

@Scrawler2:disqus I wish you many hours of disbelieving laughter, then. Conservapedia has brought me so much joy.

I always feel guilty when I visit Conservapedia. On the one hand, I'm only doing it to laugh at the magnificent awfulness; on the other hand, increased traffic only inflates the site's collective ego further and further.

"Ozymandias" was the climax of the story. "Granite State" was the falling action, and "Felina" the conclusion. "Felina" got to be a quieter ending, a cleaner, tidier ending because the climax had already happened.

@avclub-913d3a7404f98f0ee3766e12e78506fe:disqus I'm not so sure I'm convinced that the DEA will be actively looking for Jesse anymore, though. He's been gone for months at this point, and unless the Aryan Bros didn't destroy his confession tape, he's probably assumed dead or long gone. The police have their man,…
