The problem with Valhalla wasn’t that it was long, but it was that it’s BORING.
The landscape, boring. The characters, boring. The missions, boring. Hell even the damn skill tree is boring and dull and way too large.

I feel like what the games get wrong is that they don’t focus enough on the present day. They completely messed up the present storyline and gameplay when they started stretching it and focusing toog much in the past gameplay. It would have been the best if Desmond’s storyline had cultminated in a solely present-day…

I stand by my answer; Katheryn Winnick was not in STB - that’s Sofia Boutella. :)

I’d prefer to think Ego came down in Antarctica and it took him a while to get the hang of looking human.

See, this is why The Leftovers (I’ve only seen Season 1) worked for me. It was made by a seemingly sassy new Damon Lindelof, who seems to have gotten over any desire to satisfy the fans with what’s inside the mystery box.

What’s the answer to the big mysterious thing?
Fuck you. It happened. Deal with it. That’s the…

Well, there used to be a website that would talk about genre shows and give recommendations as to what was worth watching and what wasn’t. Sure, it was only their opinion, but you learned about these things and in a time where many people watch TV timeshifted without commercials, it was useful. They could tell you…

He’s 10 years too old and 50 pounds too heavy.

I guess I’m the oddball because I found myself wishing there were more future stuff in the games. I’ve played all the ones up to Black Flag (It is sitting on my pile of shame) and I always wanted more of the future stuff. I don’t want it all to be outside of the animus but more. Although now that I’m thinking about…

A couple more for you. Caught you with this Green Lantern.

Same side. Hot Ass-Kicking Woman (not girls) Team Up.

It feels like we’re in the 80's era of action movies but instead of Schwartzeneggar and Stallone, we have Beckinsale and Jovovich.

He gets the part about her not leaving the island because she happened to find some guy she liked - she leaves because of her heroism, because she wants to be the one to adventure into the world beyond and take on this difficult responsibility. But how that translates into “ok then, she must be gay” is beyond me. It’s…

Several Poles dancing.

That’s why. Look at Kara’s face and reaction to ice cream and asking about donuts. Look at it! DOES THAT NOT MAKE YOU INCREDIBLY HAPPY?!

YES. They really have to do a musical episode at some point. There’s just too much talent.

Is this what is now passing for reportage in the new IO9? How embarrassingly awful. If you are getting paid for this, send the money back.

Kind of disapointed, that nobody recognized an Android 2.x HTC phone. That is exactly how new message popup looked like. The reason they chose such “ancient” phone is probably because they couldn’t find a small enough (easily hidden) phone that was more modern.

Not even close to being a Mashup of IOS6 and XP, it’s very early android 2.x without the drawer which was an easy mod

So much blechh!! Being a Chicagoan, I read the books out of fascination with the setting. They do some interesting things with the city but the writing and eventual plot resolution are just horrid. I watched the first movie movie for the same reason but the second one actually had me screaming at the TV it was so bad.

Jason/Jalopnik, have you ever interviewed a car-caster? I’d love to bend their ear on how vehicles are chosen, the various challenges, etc.
