But that is the game, it's the central mechanic. It would be like complaining you have to move a mouse and click buttons in a traditional game.
I understand not every genre of game is for everyone but to assume that the physical movement gets in the way of…

You mean physical gateways, right?
It would be the obstacles in the real world which would be restricting your access to the artificial ones.

Nope, I think that lasted all of one issue.

Simpsons quote

I can see that working without loosing new readers if they're smart about it. They don't have to dump all the continuity just put a bit more exposition in the first issue of each year and keep the arcs self contained (just like TV).
Personally I'd be more inclined to check stuff out if I knew that after reading a…

Could it also be an increase in longer form storytelling?
I don't know if that's always been the case but a lot of those DC books I started reading went straight into look 4-6 issue arcs, I feel like if you jumped in a year after the reboot you'd be just as confused as if you'd jumped in a year before.
Perhaps the best…

I originally thought that when writing my comment but they're never mentioned even in passing in the books, films or any cannon media.

I don't really keep up with superhero comics any more but it doesn't seem like that long ago I jumped onto DC with the New 52 (for about 6 months) and I heard they're rebooting again already.
And now Marvel as well. Are reboots getting more regular or am I just getting old?
I understand they'll want to entice film fans…

Yea the school didn't even seem to teach English or Maths, let alone foreign langue.
I guess there's just spells for all those things. If Hermione wanted to be an astronaut she'd just have to learn the 'breathing-in-space' spell and the 'fix space-ship' spells.

And that's exactly the kind of problems that crop up when the series transitions from children's stories to something more serious.
As the books got darker and "grew up" with the audience the hand-wavy logic of the original books just doesn't seem to fit any more.

Yea people just think the grass is greener on the other side because generally only the best shows get exported. I tend to fall into the trap of thinking American TV is better, when I just watch the cream of the crop.

Do you have Nik Naks and Marmite?

It can be two things.
There were/are a lot of genuine sexist comments and a lot of sexiest people coming up with other excuses to shit on it and some people who genuinely just thought it looked crap caught in the cross-fire.
It's like any time a white comic book character get's race swapped for an adaptation there are a…

"I liked Obvious Child too, but it's barely a comedy"
Phew, glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. I liked the film but thought I was going crazy with the amount of people calling it a "comedy".
Are we classing every drama with a few laugh-out-load moments as a "comedy" now?
A film can have jokes without that…

I honestly didn't think it was a comedy (let along a romcom) until the very end when the characters said something like
"What should we watch? A romcom?"
"Nah, I've had enough of those"
I enjoyed the film but was viewing it as an indie drama (maybe dramady at a stretch) I also assume the stand-up in the film was…
