I cut American Horror Story and The Strain lose this year... in a way, you have to thank them, because both of their first episodes gave the feeling that this was going to be a lot of stupid people stretching a plot way longer than it can actually go, and that it was going to be a pretty skeezy ride.

Origin, as a service, seems to work fine, but I cannot for the life of me understand why EA games has all its Mass Effect DLC (still) under this werid system where you buy Bioware fun bucks, and then use those to buy their DLC. Just sell the DLC straight.

My girlfriend was once having a meaningful chat with Piper while the Brotherhood stubbornly tried to destroy every car just down the road. Like, guys, can you just take a break for five minutes? Jeeze.

It was made inadvertently hilarious because right as the final bit of the quest started, Nick got super driven and wouldn’t let me give him any stuff.

You know, I never quite got the mime and quad stuff to work quite right... aside from the weapons I never really had to have it work, so I just never got it sorted out

One Wing Angel Seph really played like a pro. I queued up Knights of the Round, expecting to go get a sandwich while he just died, and then Seph shielded himself before the spell went off, survived, and cast Super Nova.

Not the movie I first thought of, but sure. That works too.

I feel like I saw a graph that showed adult stars are doing more work in a significantly shorter amount of time now than they used to. Something on average of 2 or 3 years, if I recall.

As far as recommendations go, I’d always recommend some of great but now a little older animes like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Escaflowne.... they are all quirky in their own ways, but with great world building.

Given that India sent a probe to Mars and Russia sent their Mars probe into the Pacific, I think they’ve got a lot of work to do.

Oh yeah, I think the whole zoo of bugs they threw at the humans was one of the best parts, but it did definitely make the bugs feel like the inferior opponents in general, not having much in the way of ship to ship fighting.

We’re getting there. Slowly but surely.

They had a couple of tactical nukes in the movie.

I just refuse to do it. I will learn the rules and mechanics to whatever game, but I refuse to learn the rules and mechanics of another less fun game within the game for the sole purpose of spending my time in a post apocalyptic or distant future staring at a stack of goddamn cards.

It certainly would be good to watch during any discussion of WWII. I don’t think we, as Americans, don’t really get a good view of Japanese or German civilian experiences during WWII.

Graveyard of the Fireflies is some grade A sadness.

I figure we’re expecting a certain size for shoulder pads, and when they’re not big enough to land an F-16 on, it just look wrong some how.

Yeah, I feel bad for the humans having to fight orcs with arms as beefy as their whole torsos.

Yeah, I feel like I’ve had good conversations with people here, by and large, and gotten some good recommendations for books/movies/podcasts from various comments. Its too easy sometimes for a reviewer to like or hate a thing, and sometimes you just need to see why the other side loves or hates a thing.

I saw 3 with a great, excited crowd. I remember after they fled to the grandmother’s house, and you heard a car door shut outside the house, someone shouted “Oh SHIT, Toby drove over!”
