They’re still there in single player. They just aren’t able to be popped in by inbred jackwads in multiplayer anymore.

there are actually a few encounters with them. if you let them play out, they always end with a fatal mishap. in the cross example i think it falls over and kills a bunch of them. i don’t think they *ever* succeed

I’ve heard that if you don’t interrupt the ceremony, they end up accidentally killing themselves anyway. Of course I wouldn’t know since I always start blastin’.

For anyone not familiar with Red Dead Redemption 2, the reason there are KKK NPCs in the game at all is because they’re part of a random encounter in the single player game.

Even if they’re not destroyed (yet), removing them is still a good thing because it means that anyone who wants them back up has to jump through those hoops and run it past the people.

Do you mean “a director tried to use a game to actually say something - multiple somethings, in fact - rather than retread common tropes like saving a princess/the world/etc.” 

Funny enough, I started my MGS journey with MGS2. So my knowledge of how much people really hated this game because of Raiden is only a cursory one. I thought that whatever happened in MGS2, with Snake being switched out for Raiden was supposed to happen so I wasn’t affected by all that taboo shit. I just strapped in…

He’s always had an amazing sense of what’s just over the horizon. I haven’t played MGS 4 (one of my great gaming regrets), but its prescience about the rise of mercenary outfits who seek endless war is eerie as shit

It’s partially that! But even the stuff that I think folks might call the most excessive (say Death Stranding) tend to have some very smart stuff. Engaging with Kojima’s work has always been a balancing act.

And yet, I’m here to say that I think it’s Actually The Best One.

Essentially, Redemption Island was more of a Last Chance Kitchen-like system, but without any kind of social game. But there’s a real argument for just creating a second game on Extinction, and the fire token stuff was TRYING for that, but it was too arbitrary and not meaningful enough to really work. Make me a…

I wish the “get back in the game” mechanism was closer to how Top Chef does it. Generally speaking, in Top Chef you have to cook good food, and whoever cooks the least good dish, as determined by the judges, goes out. Then they go to Last Chance Kitchen where they have to, drumroll, cook food against other eliminated c…

Part of the reason Ben and Adam were idiots for getting rid of him.

How many people are going to be on the jury? How does this work? There’s the eight on EoE and 10 more players still in the game?

Damn... I appreciate your pre-air review Joelle, but this probably means no episodic reviews then?

But in that case, the ending should’ve been Bojack actually changing/taking responsibility for his behavior. This still cemented that Bojack’s self-destruction is inevitable.

I binged this half season in a single night. Normally I never do that, but every episode just left me desperate to see what happened next. 

A common thing among Netflix shows. Maybe their brass should meet with the brass at Showtime who run shows way to long, and together they can figure out the proper length before cancellation.

This episode killed me. It’s almost like a horror movie or a Greek tragedy- you know it’s coming and it’s horrible to watch it all unfold. And like typical Bojack Horseman style, on the one hand you feel bad for Bojack and want him to come out alright but on the other hand, you also know he deserves it and in the…

Having finished the season I’m really annoyed at Netflix for cancelling it. There was enough plot for a seventh season. This one feels a bit...compressed. Loved it though.
