I haven’t read it in...12 years? and it still haunts me. the Eoin Colfer 6th book gives it a little more light while still honoring the legacy, though.

It HAS to be a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Hitchhiker’s Guide, right? Grimdark timey-wimey searching for lost love and saving a doomed Earth.

I finally got my first clear on attempt 38 (with the rail of all things), and now I’m trying to figure out my best way forward. It sounds like you’re a lot better than me so maybe this is a dumb question, but as a Dark Thirst follower do you think it makes more sense to keep trying until I clear with each weapon at…

Man, Zach Snyder WOULD make Gritty a cop.

I mean given how often Commissioner Gordon has to light the bat signal it’s entirely possible they don’t

(I realized after typing this that I have no idea if Commissioner Gordon, the bat signal, or his and Batman’s working relationship even exist in the Snyder-verse. I do not care to find out.)

I swear I’m not saying this just to be smarmy, but could someone please walk me through what the writers may have had in mind between the moment Diana knocks over the TV-takeover camera and her speaking to everyone watching?

How was everyone on earth still seeing them? What was up with the blue glowing cyclone? If she…

Genuinely surprised it didn’t end up being a Kingdom Hearts title

Except it wasn’t until /June of this year/ that the release date was (again) delayed to a date that followed the release of the next generation consoles! The “previous gen hardware” was the *current* gen for much of its development cycle. I think there’s a case to be made, based on the timeline, that it was always…

Isn’t that the problem though? He was barely around in the original material that most people are familiar with, and we’ve had DECADES since then to ruminate on him or forget about him. With so little characterization to be beholden to this show could have done anything it wanted to, but still opted to go with the…

Wait but it gets even better: his LinkedIn has him working at a Philadelphia landscaping company

The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy that came after those was great, but after that I felt like they got pretty same-y. Sword and Elfstones were my gateway drug to SF&F though!

Absolutely incredible how you managed to skip the giant Spoiler Warning banner two paras into the post, then read another four full paragraphs detailing the events of a game for which you didn’t want to be “spoiled” before arriving at the point that upset you. Just stunning lack of awareness. I’m in awe.

Meg Elison!!! I’m reading that collection now, it’s great. The opening true(?) story about a bunch of kids stealing a giant pumpkin is worth the price alone.

Also her post-apocalyptic “Road to Nowhere” trilogy is a great queer, post-pandemic series if you’ve the taste for it these days. 

I finally bought the whole game+expansions a couple weeks ago and am just wandering around Velen. Do the expansions only kick in after finishing the main game, or do they kick in at some point along the way?

Not that I would even notice, because my MO seems to be “accidentally trip into a story quest cutscene while…

I hate saying this but Schitt’s Creek really picks up a little bit into season 2, when they start learning how to act like functioning humans. It’s worth it, but their antics in the beginning do feel a bit same-y for a while.

Anyways, congrats on the...recreation

For a while now I’ve been warning people when they’re about to recommend a show to me. “I’m sure it’s great, and I would probably love it, but it’s going to go on my list of ‘shows that people have told me about that I will never watch’ because I barely have the time to watch the 3 things I’m already invested in.”

Havin…

I realize Force Majeure handles a lot of things these days but I suspect there are a whole lot of legal and contractual hurdles to cancelling distribution to theaters like that. 

[CTRL+F “yub nub”] you know what I’m good

made huge waves

I’m just mad that CollegeHumor’s Official Spoiler Rules are seven years old and still not widely adopted:
