All this sounds so unnecessary that I’m questioning why I read this article, or even why I’m repl

Shigeru Miyamoto: “Out of an abundance of caution, we’ve decided to not air the trailer for our new game ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Queen Died LOL’ in the United Kingdom today.”

They mean it's due for the 5th of Smarch.

it’s really funny how this was the reason why Nintendo UK didn’t livestreamed the Direct lmao.

I’ve only been playing since Awakening, so I don’t have a lot of history with the franchise, but I kind of liked raising relationship ranks by actually interacting instead of just standing next to each other in battle.

However, the place seemed huge and I felt like I spent too much time running around, especially…

I find it refreshing that the stakes are so low. I thought the best part of GoT was all the petty squabbling among nobles about who gets to sit on a pointy chair. It really lost its way whenever they had to cut back to the ice zombies and Chosen One prophecies, particularly because as we now know, none of that stuff…

Hero in the Greek sense, as in someone who’s life events are worth recounting.

I felt for him. The actor did a good job there of showing how he doesn’t just jump on this as soon as she kisses him- there’s some real danger to it and he knows it.

This is Game of Thrones at his best: when a hero - and I use this term very loosely - makes a single mistake that has grave repercussions for multiple characters at once.

Yeah, I kept thinking, “Dude, run for your life.” If anybody finds out, the Wall is his best outcome.

I don’t know if it’s the AVC commentators or just a bleed over from the internet as a whole. This is a sex positive female lead show, so naturally to the larger MCU “fanbase” they consider this is the worse thing to ever exist in the entire history of the human race. I mean, can you really say you’re surprised by the…

Kinda surprised at all the haters here. Then again the AVC commentariat has really gone down the shitter in recent years. Maybe I should stick to io9 for these reviews.

By “fictional historical drama”, I mean that Martin is more interested in the life in medieval times than the fantasy elements. Yes, he was inspired by some real events here and there, but that’s not what I was referring to.

Some people like their epic dramas to be a little visceral and bloody, some people like something a bit more PG. There’s room for both.

Star Wars and Star Trek are always compared to each other but probably shouldn’t be. I feel the same about these two: LOTR is (mostly) for the whole family and GOT is for adults only. Also, the former is about fantasy while the latter is essentially a fictional historical drama with fantasy elements peppered in it.

Even Rhaenyra’s crush on Ser Criston Cole can’t lead anywhere good

I’ve never been paid in Bezos bucks, but I was just handed 400 Soros bucks, 200 Xi bucks, and 15.23 Biden bucks (he’s a tightwad) to laugh at what a silly chud you are.
