There is something genuinely impressive about the combination of how smug the creative of the Witcher is about all their clever ideas and how utterly idiotic their actual execution of those said ideas is.

In an elaboratoly choreographed sword fight where there is seemingly no one around to see this subterfuge take place?

It seems to me that the people involved in the production of this show should stop taking questions and doing interviews, as it either makes them sound stupid or is deeply insulting to fans.

I played the Lies of P demo, too. I was having a hell of a time with the bosses—I gave up after trying to get past the second one—and I couldn’t pin down exactly why. Then I watched an Iron Pineapple video and he figured it out: the dodging just isn’t all that useful. It’s fine for the rank-and-file automatons who…

I get the feeling that levinson and the weeknd were doing lines together and one of them said “hey, what if we make a show about a Britney stand-in, but with her faking the conservatorship, and instead it’s physical and emotional abuse”. This show was doomed from the begining, imo, as that concept is a tricky one to…

Techbro nerds + metrics + algorithms designed to maximise viewership = the most generic, safe, familiar and flat-out uncreative shit ever.

Just wanna point out, Prime’s fantastic show A League of Their Own cost a fraction of what Citadel did, got higher ratings, and Amazon cancelled it anyway because their dudebro execs didn’t like how many gay characters it had. Fuck Amazon.

I think you would have a real tough time getting one random person to admit they know who Richard Madden is before you could get five to say they know who John Mulaney is. He might look like a Cary Grant, but he’s more of a Cary Elwes in practice.

For one of those $200M projects, this has got to be the first thing I’d read as online chatter about this show. Otherwise it’s just my dad, who emailed me unprompted to tell me it sucks.

Very bad sign in my opinion.

You caught me, I clearly loathe this TV show I have written 25,000 words about and given uniformly high scores to.

As someone who has loved Tom from the very first episode, this all made me very happy. As someone also well aware that Tom is a pretty awful person, this made me extremely happy.

Me on the other end of the spectrum hoping a protester would curb stomp him. Culkin is amazing, though. Especially the “is he in there” line. 

I mean, they do have an excellent reason to act the way they do: They were raised by Logan. But Ewan justifiably hates all the monsters, big and small, Logan has made.

This is a great point - I never realized how Roman never has had any friends on the show. Tom had the fly guys, Kendall had people - there were people at his birthday party, Shiv had Nate and Co. and hell Connor at least has Willow and the weird Pierce guy. Roman had Tabitha and Gerri and the guy from RoyCo management…

That whole episode, I just winced every time Greg opened his mouth. He’s cut from the same mold as Tom, but Tom at least has the barest ounce of (something like) loyalty to balance against his opportunism. Greg is pure opportunism at its most bald-faced and grasping. 

Also Mencken is feeling like a top dog now. He no longer has to beg. Now he wants people to offer something. Kendall isn’t offering anything and Roman his favorite turned out to choke in big moments so he can’t trust Roman anymore to properly help him. 

mid thirties gamer here, my whole life I have gamed and I can honestly count on one hand the amount of times I have been genuinely excited for a AAA release in the last 4-5 years...

You’re not alone - I’ve 90% given up on gaming because the industry wants to gouge on hardware costs and the software is a load of junk on release.

I’m not that old but I feel it. I think what makes seeing the corpses of dead games reanimated as shambling ruins like this is the fact that we can’t go back and play the good game. Hawken is gone. There are so many excellent games of the past that could thrive quite happily if they weren’t built around a…
