It’s terrible that his death was reportedly via suicide, and I wish more money was spent in advertising that if you have suicidal thoughts it’s okay, you’re not alone, many, many people do, and there are doctors who can help you, it won’t always be like this.

I say this as someone who’s suffered from suicidal ideation…

Only if you are dumb or immature.

Is lore really narrative though? Like I agree that Elden Ring has a TON of lore, but when I hear the term narrative, I think of the story in that game. And tbh, I couldn’t tell you what happened in the story of Elden Ring because the narrative wasn’t given priority like lore and combat was. Don’t get me wrong, I love…

But lore isn’t really narrative... Lore is background. When we talk about: What is a narratively driven game? And you compare Mass Effect or God of War with Elden Ring, there’s an astonishingly huge difference in execution. Mass Effect has a ton of lore, but everything that moves you forward is tied to an over-arching…

Simple question: who’s the second best Batman?

I hate to interrupt an obit with complaints about the writing but:

This one hurt, man. Conroy was my Batman. He’s the standard. The bar by which all other portrayals are judged. He nailed the Bruce Wayne side of Batman as brilliantly as he did the Bat. Grew up watching his Batman; he’s the voice I hear when I read or think Batman, you know? RIP to a legend. 

He was the only person who ever really nailed different voices for Batman and Bruce Wayne without (ironically) making the distinction cartoonish. For almost two decades we’ve had movie after movie where actors adopt over-the-top grunts and growls for “Batman,” whereas Conroy achieved it with the slightest changes: A…

I’m grateful I had the chance to meet him. What an incredibly nice man. He will be sorely missed.

RIP

There will be a bunch of hot takes soon about whether he’s the best batman ever, but it really hardly matters. What’s without a doubt true is that he defined the character as much as any one person could.

In the animated series, the video games, and the various other media appearances related, he developed his batman…

Kevin Conroy is the standard by which I, and probably many many others, judge Batman. Not just the voice either. Even with live actors, I judge them if they can bring the kind of emotion and gravitas to the role that Conroy was able to with just his voice. Some of them do well, but none will ever top him. He is…

I feel like it basically comes down to this American thing where we demand that anyone providing us with a service maintain the illusion that it’s being done in a spirit of camaraderie and downplay it as much as possible as a commercial transaction. It’s especially bad when people develop these — often weirdly intense…

Personally, I have no interest in his TMNT film, but nothing fills anyone with confidence if you take comments out of context like that.

Fresh Off the Boat was definitely wheezing a fair bit toward the end of its run, even if it was never a genuinely bad TV show. Everyone -- writers, actors -- seemed pretty much done with it. 

I doubt streaming services, let alone cable, is covered by this.  Pretty sure the FCC doesn’t have jurisdiction over either; just over-the-air TV.

You are missing that FACT that the FCC only regulates over-the-air TV and radioa. They do NOT regulate cable networks or online networks. So no, they are not cheating, it is just that they are not regulated by the FCC.

I like Skyfall, but it’s nowhere near as good as either Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace, or a good 12-14 of the previous movies.
