Maryland is technically a southern state, and while the state proper may have remained with the Union a lot of Marylander's still fought for the Confederacy. It's easy nowadays to think that each state sent the bulk of its troops to one army or another, especially if you're an ignorant Lost Causer ranting about…

Yep, not that Franco ever needs extra motivation to go nuts.

He's in it for like 5 minutes, and then mostly as a voice. Hell he's probably less of an antagonist than J K Simmons

Spider Man 3? We're just going to ignore Spider Man 1 and cite the movie where he's not even the third most important bad guy

Even if she didn't know he saw her or figured out he was setting her up, that letter isn't really that damning. I mean she was in Kings Landing during those events and knows enough about the Lannisters to know Sansa isn't really loyal to them

That's where it gets tricky, since he has been highlighting international movies that never got a US release date. It does sound like he's kinda been winging this a bit since the last few entries have had similar errors in them, not to mention getting The Professional off by more than 2 years

I get the feeling that closing time/telling dudes to go home to touch themselves, saw a lot of overlap in use

I occasionally read Saga at work which can be awkward when you have some pages that are just giant pictures of a robot masturbating

Yeah, that's the other reason I can safely dismiss novelizations of comics as being bad- .hack has too many exceptions that have to be made to get its novels as the one bright spot in a field of dreck

Bart actually writes "Santa's Little Helper" on the application, the card company screws it up which was another dig at how little they cared to ever check the names printed on cards

Because it was released in most of the world in 2008, it took a while to reach the US

My Berkut is sadly only level 27 still, so I can't quite get the really big points with him, but that just means I only need to try the trial a few more times each day. As is I almost made it through the level 35 trial on one team (Ike, Summer Robin, Priscilla, Cecillia), it was just Sonya on the last level which…

In general I am not a fan. Japan loves doing novelizations of popular manga series and you would think eventually one would be decent by sheer number of tries, but nope. So far the "best" were middling and not-offensive, nothing remotely worthwhile yet

I'm just using the excuse that I'll get around to them when they release that combined 1 and 2 mod they were talking about; largely since that's the only hope I have of finishing part of my backlog before 2 hits

I ended up liking Valerian a little more than Atomic Blonde since it seemed Valerian's problems were more in its very bad lead actors whereas Atomic Blonde had some script/plot issues. They're really close movies for me so it could go either way.

I think historically he was just a farmer who was willing to take some money in exchange for showing the Persians the path. Of course, historically he doesn't get forgiven either, he was forced into exile and ended up dying alone because no one, Greek or Persian, wanted anything to do with a traitor

Which could be chalked up to right-wing revisionism, considering the Greeks used way more slaves than Persia ever did. Sparta in particular loved its slave soldiers, and loved executing them when they did something worthwhile so they couldn't take credit away from the Hoplites

I didn't see what the changes to the others were since I'm biding my time a bit until 2 drops. Norsca is nice to finally be playable, but I've beat that game 4 times, do I really need to beat it again?

I was surprised how easy it was. When you get Tatania she stresses like three times she doesn't want you to kill Zeke so I figured it would be another Delphinia situation but nope, he becomes your ally instantly if you have her. It would seem easier to do the Zeke fight first if you were trying to reach the town…

I actually warped Gray next to her and just cut her down. Nuibaba herself only killed Lukas (well knocked him down to one hp so a gargoyle could finish him off), but the other mages and dread fighters in her little temple were an utter slog to handle
