I’m sure Kingsley Ben-Adir will be fine and has a long career ahead of him, but I still felt bad for the guy in ‘Secret Invasion’, just because he was clearly trying to wring something of value out of this terribly written role. There’s some damn fine acting on display despite everything else.

You know, I assumed about half of this without knowing anything about the case.

I really liked White House Plumbers. As far as I’m concerned, it’s just about impossible to truly screw up a story about unlikable jerks unstoppably marching toward their well-deserved comeuppance, the same reason I name Saw X the best of the series and Blackberry the best of the new “product biopic” trend.

You know as someone who’s been into Forgotten Realms for awhile, it is awesome seeing how popular Baldur’s Gate 3 has become.  When I was a kid reading Darkwater on Moonshae, I didn’t think Faerun would become this big.  Helps that BG3 has some really good writing I suppose.

The siren song of a video game that hooks you has never and will never be limited to the release window.

To add to this:

We’re not that far from this...

Every time I load up Fortnite, I’m amazed at the shocking amount of deep lore and plot they’ve crammed into an inconsequential free-for-all setting, and how precisely zero of it hangs around in my brain.

Someone at Epic is trying way to hard to make the story make sense. 

Isn't that just Ready Player One?

As a competitive Pokemon fan, this gen EASILY has been the best for the battling world of Pokemon since Black and White.

I’m just so tired of all these Stranger Things!

It literally wasn’t. It’s amazing how people still get the ending of Lost wrong. 

The whole show and all its characters only existed in the mind of a tightly wound convenience store clerk who was reading the novelization of Stranger Things.

That’s basically what Marti Noxon said about the Buffy episode where she’s in a psych ward, that it would contradict all the show’s positive messages.

The evidence for this, presumably, is that the Stranger Things kids like to play Dungeons & Dragons and there are a handful of Dungeons & Dragons-inspired monsters and monster names in the series… which is pretty thin.
