I’ve always loved Alan Wake with a passion - but I think the combat was markedly improved in the add on American Nightmare. In Alan Wake you can just push through with judicious battery conservation, in American Nightmare you NEED to burn off those shields piecemeal, and the removal of the ‘safe zones’ of light make…

I wasn’t a big fan of the book, but I think it will be a great film. However I can’t imagine Matt Damon say this line:

You are correct, sir

Honestly I did write something like this - though the Chris Pratt character was me. And may have had lilac eyes.

And those people have the right to be wrong ;)

I found this for you - might be of interest?

Ye olde kits were just a big swathe of fabric with particular dimensions, and then pleated, belted and wrapped (sari like). These days their pleats are fixed, and I'm not sure I've ever seen someone do them old style.

It's not being talked about too much, at least among my geeky crowd (there was some chat back in September because A) there was a rumour it was delayed due to the referendum, and B) everyone and their mum were being cast in it) but right now we're all more interested in the election and getting drunk over Easter. I…

Sorry, yes, you're absolutely right - their morality was not ours.

That episode kind of took me by surprise actually, and it made me think they were going to soften Randall's character. I enjoyed it a lot, but I wondered if it being very talky how it would have been received when it was aired (I'm in Scotland and we only got the series last week)

Thanks for the link.

Yes I think that's another aspect of it, reliance of self vs group, and I might be so bold as to venture and say culture shock too. I sat and watched all of Outlander this week as it became available in Scotland and I just LOVE the attitude it captures in the big group scenes. It feels very, very homely to me. I…

I'm surprised at the reaction to the marital beating. To me it's clearly not a positive scene (although there's definitely an element of macarbe humour). And Jamie IS a product of his time! The Maquis de Sade is a child at this point, when she calls him a sadist that, to me, is the juxtoposition to ram home just how…

I think it's good for a self-published book, which is what it was, but it does rely overmuch on action movie beats and fic-style banter. I think the film will work well for that though.

If you're worried about Grand Central Station you're not going to like Aberdeen . . .

I wouldn't have had a clue either - not something that ever occurs in my neck of the woods! Kudos :)

Preach it, friend

Glad to see we have a nice outpouring of support in the comments though *eyeroll*
