Just because the war in Iraq was controversial doesn’t mean that it isn’t filled with stories of sacrifice,” Tamte told IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey.

The dumpling chefs in the Chongqing level wear facemasks though that could just as easily be the changed culture in China after SARS.

...There is so much un-adapted Vampire fiction out there!

If HBO announced a World of Darkness/Vampire the Masquerade series, I would plotz. 

This is a lovely and articulate point, and all I want to add is that there is one important element that hasn’t been considered in this discussion, and it is the writing.

I was thinking the same thing, but I guess you come to this movie to see some crazy action, and it sounds like that’s one of the main areas where it really dropped the ball. Bummer! I was sort of rooting for Bloodshot (even if he was the last Valiant hero I’d make a movie out of in a a zillion years).

The sophomoric Borderlands joke that always cracks me up is the title card for when you fight the first boss in the first game. The whole level, you know you’re gonna have to fight nine toes, and you figure the reason for calling him that is pretty straightforward and then:

1st thought: I’M HYYYYYYYYYPE

I’m so happy I played The Witcher when I did.

I think you’re totally right but for me at least, that’s the criticism. 13 didn’t achieve the illusion of openness and choice that other series entries did. And the gameplay didn’t mechanically get that urgency across.

A star isn’t enough, I need to give you greater recognition.

This is the first Pokemon game I’ve played (I missed Sun/Moon) that really feels like it transports you to a new place. Like, if I really went to the UK, I’d see deer and boars and the like, but they’d look different from the deer and boars of the American Midwest (where I live). And there would be some unique animals…

Weird take: there was a not very good video game series Way of the Samurai, and this was (to me) always the promise of it. The games were usually short, but extremely dense, with lots of possibilities and endings. You would play the same two hours of story over and over, changing small things, aligning with different…

I get the move away from painted-on bodysuits for superheroes, but the Spider-Woman costume really is a good design. I think the perfect compromise would be her recent “t-shirt and jacket” look with the mask. The sunglasses always look goofy to me.

I feel like the biggest mistake the anti-fascist movement ever did was to get branded as “Antifa.” That word sounds scary and foreign. When you have to use the whole name, you end up with sentences like “Kevin Sorbo fights anti-fascists,” very much making him seem like a fascist. Which, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I like a lot of King’s work, but this series had some of the worst 9-panel grids I’ve ever seen. Utter nonsense. I’m in the middle of writing them up over at Multiversity Comics, because someone needs to talk these grids!

There are so many Wrestlers who I’d love to watch as Kratos. I hearby nominate Samoa Joe.

...maybe these problems have always existed within this show and are just more apparent now that we are nearing the end and there aren’t any shocks left to distract us from a fundamentally empty adaptation...

I played the game when it first came out. Sure that moment has become legendary, but no one would have played the 70 hours leading up to that moment (or whatever) if it wasn’t a fantastic world with wonderful characters and an engaging story.

On the one hand, this is stupid and breaks everything.

I’m hoping they were including him to set up a future sequel, because I really like the character in the comics, even though he felt kinda superfluous in this first one.
