I mean, the idea that companies only exist to make money isn’t exactly a great argument - I think a fair number of people would suggest it’s a major flaw with the way we’ve structured our society and economy, particularly in an industry that’s at least somewhat artistic.

I wasn’t able to watch much last night, but I’m glad they didn’t send anyone home the first episode. So many shows do that and the audience doesn’t get a chance to see what the contestants can actually do once they’re settled in.

Fire Emblem also usually has the double gut-punch of said OP old knight character having bad stat growth so not only do you wind up with most of your roster being underleveled, the person you’ve been overleveling winds up being mediocre at best.

A deep cut, but a good one.

see the mature Willow in action

It sounds like OWL hero pools will be randomized. I don’t follow the league, so I don’t know if they all play the same day, but if so, I can’t imagine a day or two (at most) would make a huge amount of difference versus either having some bench players to fill out a roster for the day Symmetra is just absolutely…

I don’t know. Seems like early reactions are usually glowing even when the actual movie is a dud.

Man, I got almost halfway through the video before I couldn’t take it anymore. The worst kind of nerd pedantry that confuses knowledge of one thing (sword combat) with authority in a related thing (stage combat), contradicts himself several times, and complains about character motivations being shown instead of said.

I actually didn’t get the Renfri = Snow White thing until I rewatched the episode with my dad and happened to count her henchmen.

I mean, if developers want their games to only be examined and critiqued once they’re totally done, they’re free to wait until said game is totally done to release it.

It’s certainly a little jarring to think the the whole thing happens over the course of a week, tops, compared to the year or two in the original story, but I think that’s probably a necessary compromise for a modern-day setting. People are just so much more mobile today than they were in the ‘20s or ‘30s, so it’s a…

They don’t really. If anything, they kind of compress it, in the sense that the original story takes place over several years, while the movie takes place over a few days - a week at the most.

I saw Color Out of Space the other night, and it was really good. Felt like a fun fusion of the original story and John Carpenter’s The Thing, which makes sense since there’s basically zero action in the actual short story and what there is is all weird and in the past.

Forgetting Darksaber is part of being a healthy, well-adjusted adult.

Gotta be Emerald Hill Zone. I played so much Sonic 2, it’s crazy. Honorable mention probably goes to, like, Undead Parish or something from Dark Souls.

Man, I want to buy this if only to play out my personal headcanon that the City that Garrett calls home is just the most backwater part of the Empire of the Isles.

Why are the girls battleships? Or vice versa? I don’t understand this.

This is very cool, and DC should be commended for the idea, but $5? For that price, I’d expect it’ll be printed and bound like a comic book, which doesn’t seem to bode well for copies being actually useable long-term. Comics aren’t exactly the sturdiest medium for something that’s going to be referenced repeatedly,…

That’s fine as far as it goes, but there are still plenty of shows (and, increasingly, movies) that never get a physical release. I’d love to own Agents of SHIELD on blu-ray, but Disney doesn’t want to sell them to me.

It drives me nuts, because I moved and fell behind on my CW superhero soap operas and wanted to get current on them (or at least on Arrow) before watching Crisis, but the only things they have full current season of are Batwoman (which is fine, but will hopefully improve) and Nancy Drew, which I am enjoying far more…
