It’s pretty easy to make a game that is challenging and rewarding without forcing you to grind content. But it makes for a shorter game... I can understand why MMOs don’t want that, but I never felt a sense achievement finally getting my pants after killing the same boss for the 25th time. By that point, the game…

WoW has apparently gotten better about making their high end content more accessible since I left back at the end of the Burning Crusade, but god... there are just better ways to have fun in gaming than MMOs, or really any RPG that forces you to grind for hours to advance like some Final Fantasy or JRPG games.

For me it wasn’t a matter of video games, in general, but rather the video game grind that I needed to reject. Those years I played World of Warcraft, I had a lot of fun, but I also spent way to much time to support that fun, and had to sort my schedule around it in a way that just wasn’t healthy.

Really? Given how up and arms South Carolina and the whole rest of the South has been over taking down their Confederate battle flags, I say, bring on more slavery movies. Let them see what sort of horror that shit represents.

Oh well that’s good then. Other reviews weren’t really that specific.

But by that logic, Mulder being a Holocaust denier would make sense too. So clearly they are making some choices for the sake of good taste.

I would say that Fringe certainly ended better than Lost did.

So, I heard Mulder turned out to be a 9/11 Truther right?
Ugh. Maybe it was just easier for me to handle all that conspiracy stuff in the 90s because those weren’t the people running the country.

ESPN should also worry about the simple fact that they’re a middleman and an aggregator of content... there’s nothing stopping the NFL or NCAA from just making a streaming app for all their games and doing their own advertising. I’ve only ever been a fan of NCAA basketball, and it was a constant frustration to figure…

Vote against that, assholes.

I wish I could convince Captain Ironsides to take a detour through that place.

I wondered if you didn’t lose happiness or something if you ignored them. I think its the ‘Clear Corvega Factory” quests that really pisses me off. That stupid factory hides its boss in a really werid place that I never find easily, and its been given to me three or four times. Going someplace new is fun.... getting…

I would care less if I felt like I was building towards something, but really, after The Castle, there isn’t much more for the Minutemen to do. It would be nice to have a parliament, maybe? Or build a capital or a courthouse or something.

The quests I had finished but didn’t turn in eventually just completed themselves after a while. I got the experience and they left my list.

I think a prequel reboot would be worth it just to have a more believable Anakin to Darth Vader transition. As it is now, Anakin just seems really stupid... he had bad dreams, a bad man told him if he did bad things, his bad dreams wouldn’t be real, and surprise, they were. I’m still not sure why the newly made Darth…

I’m getting more of a Ghost in the Shell vibe from it.

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.
