Uh...what? The original was not “cartoony”. It was anime. Also, the characters in the Remake are faithfully based off of their original designs. Your comment is hyperbolic in every way, at the very least

If you can mod in an easy mode to the game then by all means

You should listen to the podcast, but short version: There’s a big difference between burning down the Red Keep and indiscriminately killing civilians. This would be a whole different conversation if Daenerys had gone straight for Cersei, killing innocents in her quest to kill the woman who usurped the throne and…

Credit where it’s due: Emilia Clarke has usually not been much more than a decent actress (though I’ve often defended her from critics who assert she’s bad, which I don’t think she has been), but she has been absolutely wonderful this season, even as the writing for her character has turned into a trainwreck.

The difference between this and Succession is one is well written.

I know right, you would think there could be some money to be had by re-releasing the original version. But I do respect that they have kept us wanting. Wait are you telling me that it is available on every platform ever, including smart fridges and apple watches?

Yah it's too bad really. I wish there was a way to play ff7 as it was originally imagined, as a turn-based game, but there's no way for anyone to do that anymore. Very tragic

Japan did everything to China that the Germans did to Europe (google Unit 731, you shouldn’t have to be told about the Rape of Nanking). Unlike Germany, they’ve never apologized, and officials including the current president regularly pay homage at a shrine to dead war criminals from that era.

There are so many games out there, Joshua. This one just isn’t for you, and that’s okay. It doesn’t need to bend over backwards with an easy mode.

No fucking shit. Gamers can be some of the most entitled assholes ever. Why the hell would someone want to engage with spoiled shits who armchair game develop, as if content and features are as easy to make as a meme template.

That’s the ‘right’ way to bribe your kid into college. Even the guy who did the scam with the celebrities admitted to it

Whyyyyyyyy are black entertainers always tryna show off their ignorant side?

in other words you don’t want games to ever be updated past release

So, you’re against people being able to criticize or praise games?

Oh. K. Um. But which church isn’t infamously anti lgbt?

I get that people digest content differently based on a million different factors. I get that victims and those close to them (rightly) can’t tolerate jokes about this shit, but... I can’t be the only person who remembers how critical that skit was of Kelly.

Malcolm X was outraged. Harvey Milk was outraged. Maya Angelou was outraged. James Baldwin was outraged.

As a pretty liberal person, I don’t disagree with this. I’m reminded of the demand letter that circulated around Oberlin a few years back calling out racial discrimination. They made some really legit points (clear discrimination in tenure decisions for faculty, and a lack of diversity among faculty as well), but…

Are you implying that the incredibly talented and honorable authors at the AV Club would write disingenuously about news and pop culture just to obtain simple ‘clicks’? Never!!!

Sure, but there’s arguing for gun control and then there’s getting mad at an X-Men poster, or complaining that Iron Fist is a white guy, which I would say is definitely comparable to something like Fox News complaining that the coffee cups at Starbucks aren’t Christian enough. Jezebel just wrote an article condemning…
