Band of Brothers is one of the best shows of the last twenty years.

The Pccific managed to fail to copy a single one of its successes: it had dull cinematography, charisma-free characters, and a plot so unmemorable that I literally can’t recall a single story beat from a show that had The Pacific Theatre Of The Second

I mean I’ve found the alien ruins - I’ve gotten quite far in the game. just generally hate trying to drive the sub in the pitch darkness - it’s both mentally distressing and I just find it mechanically frustrating. 

I love to swim, love the water, and love Subnautica.

But I had the rocket pad built and I can’t complete the game because it requires me to take my sub... faaaar deeper than I am comfortable with.

Heck no. I’ll take season 5 over 6 and 7 any day, if for no other reason than Season 5 has characters I like, and nobody tries to convince me to give a shit about the Blandest Saviour Jimmy Smits, who should definitely be president because he moans like a toddler about how he doesn’t want to be President, and that

How about they get that white Ukrainian woman who played the Brazilian in brown face in Quantum of Solace. I bet she’s available.

Oooh - or what about the love interest from Tokyo Drift, you know the movie where a semi-sentient block of wood moves to Japan and dates the only white lady there? She spoke Japanese in the

What debates? There’s not going to be any debating - Trump is literally incapable of even pantomiming the act.

The “debates” will be Joe Biden perform the lead roll in A Return To The Centrist Status Quo Statesman while Trump froths like a mad dog. It will generate a lot of buzzy headlines, Trump will say at least a

She’s one of the very few reasons to watch seasons 6 and 7.

So I didn’t play NMS at launch - I only played it... god time seems to have stopped... some time in 2019? It was just before they added that massive patch that let you ride animals and a billion other things. i played for a few weeks while on a house sitting gig - there was a lot there to like, but ultimately the game

So an important question for a series fan who had to stop playing CKII because the big-screen monitor I got after receiving permanent eye-damage was incapable of displaying the game at a scale the human eye could parse:

What are the accessibility features of this game like? Can I make the UI, the tet bigger? Can I

Spore.

Spore broke my heart. I had followed it from that first magical pitch video from... 05? 07? and eagerly pirated bought it the first opportunity and sunk my life into it over a weekend.

And by the end came to the painful conclusion that it was nothing at all like the original pitch video, it was a lousy shadow of

It’s actually a really good movie - the bizarre thing about those scenes is that they so rarely interact with the rest of the cast you could cut them almost completely out of the film and have no affect on anything.

What’s even weirder is the character is in the book: he has about one scene, he has no comedic accent,

I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s for the first time last week on... Prime? Netflix? One of the two - now there’s a movie that needs a content warning. “Mickey Rooney’s performance in this film is appalling racist to the point where even the director has apologized.”

Ugh. I just have to accept the fact that all the actors who voiced the Muppets that I grew up with are gone and retired and I just... have to live with this weird simulacrums that look like the Muppets I know and love but don’t remotely sound like them. 

Coleman Francis’ filmography would beg to differ.

By the time I was using computers in the 90s, floppies were all solid, and 3.5" - I remember in the early 2000s seeing one of the massive 8-inch floppies and not knowing how they could possibly be used.

I also remember zip discs, which were posed to take off before their wings were clipped by USB sticks.

They don’t call them “stiffies” because that’s slang for an erect phallus.

STAMOS!

“being produced by the creators behind HBO’s Westworld.”

I’ve felt for a long time that what the Fallout series lacked was endless series of sexual assaults trumpeting its status as a mature adult story for serious grow-ups who like Mature Shows That Are Just So Smart And Grow-Up. I’m so glad Amazon is stepping in to

Oh good, I’m not the only one completely baffled by this article.

Shadow of Mordor is one of those games where fantastic mechanics are dragged down by shockingly boring story, totally forgettable characters, and sublimely ugly environments. It’s fun to play until you’ve maxed out the skill tree (which, is really easily to do relatively early in the game), in which case you’re left
