I’ve seen enough to feel like X-Men 97 is better than Wolverine and the X-Men. Although Wolverine and the X-Men had the much better Mojo episode. I don’t know what this article is going on about, because that Jubilee entry was the only stinker of the season.

I agree with a lot of this, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say it makes X-Men ‘97 not good. (Gotta hand it to the action animation, come on!) If the review’s takeaway is feeling like “righteous anger” is justified, that says more about the viewer than the show. Because in context, even the show’s characters are

I can see that, and I know it can be grating to hear “stick with it!” but New Vegas truly finds its groove several hours in. When you’re really in the thick of it with the factions.

Everyone has a different pace. Especially with how much there is to savor and discover. I can only say, checking my save data, I have playthroughs of 44hrs, 66hrs, and then 80-somethin, with DLC. Could possibly be knocked out in a few weeks, but as someone with less free time, open world rpgs are commitments that can

Strange. I love this movie, but for a variety of reasons, they don’t have much of a case. However, if they make themselves to sound like victims, maybe this will work?

I thought about this, and I actually wish it was more like Contagion (i.e. procedural enough in its accuracy to almost serve as a step-by-step guide in how it starts, how it spreads, and how we may stop it). But Civil War is far more rote, honestly.

Indeed, she’s read up. But isn’t it one thing to talk about something you’ve spent time studying, and another to see and touch it in person for the first time? I would have preferred a little more sense of awe.

Wait a minute, hold up- If the Ghoul can one-shot power armor all this time, why didn’t he just do that in the firefight in Episode 2?? From the underwhelming Vault 31 mystery reveal to Vault-Tec being behind the bombs in the first place (wtf?), this finale didn’t work for me, brother. Moldaver’s plan to get to this

Moldaver being a synth would certainly have been an interesting reveal before killing her off. Should that be the case after the fact, it will come off as a contrived way to tie up a lose end.

Go figure, this is the most I’ve been into the Vault mystery all season. +1 for the hacking mini game. +10 for my favorite piece of set decoration so far

Funnily, this episode also had me conjuring comparisons to Jonathan Majors- But in the opposite way, because I find Majors a far better actor, and Moten comes off like the discount version of him. This episode more than any other is where I noticed that unless he’s explicitly smiling, his face otherwise does not

I sided with Mr. House in my ending, so to be fair, the NCR was already one foot out the door!

More jello cakes... While I stated in the last episode that I don’t care about anyone in the vault or the plot going on there, I admit my antennae perked up at the reveal that all of 33's elected overseers have mysteriously come from 31. Including Lucy’s dad. Hmm... If I’m intrigued by this, I won’t admit it.

Don’t much care for anyone or anything happening in the vaults (let’s just stay with Lucy in the wasteland), but as an excuse to explore some creepy past exposition, this was good. The sitting body with a fork in the toaster? Thumbs up. If the show insists on cutting back here, then it should be more this, and less

The Yao Guai was pretty cool to see, but the setting sure is lush for a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, no?

To be fair, by nature, Fallout is a less-urgent tale than TLOU. And to be fairer, Fallout has always had its share of cartoonishness about it. But I agree this is not on TLOU’s level.

Having Thaddeus reveal that he had no hard feelings against Maximus was a nice touch, but the reason basically being “just because” was an excuse I found unsatisfying. They certainly could have mined more character conflict from this in the build to Maximus getting found out. Things like this, as well as Max

Now playing

Booksmart would definitely be my pick. Before that, I’d say Ben Affleck probably impressed me most with Gone Baby Gone

Love that movie
