I'm of the opinion that the only unimpeachably good moment in the entire prequel trilogy is the Darth Maul-Obi Wan-Qui'Gon fight sequence that begins in the hangar. It suffers from being intercut with other stuff, that's about it. (It also features the only memorable and unique music cue from the whole trilogy, which…

It's probably not. This game started development while George W. Bush was still in office and looked to have been mostly done by around 2012 or so. It was made so far ahead of the film that it almost necessarily bears no resemblance to it, and I'm guessing a big reason for the delay is that they're desperately…

I mainly liked this guy because it was folksy acoustic music with low-key production. After listening to a bunch of the album, barf. Just sounds generic to me.

Seriously, this just rocketed to the top of my must-watch-now list. I love foreign films that were unabashedly made for a foreign audience, with jokes and refs and cultural detritus that I understand but don't completely "get." (Like Dujardin's character handing out little pictures of Charles de Gaulle in OSS 117, or…

The only character I had trouble killing dragons with was a total glass cannon twin-daggers assassin guy. I was simply too frail and getting a ground-based sneak attack on a dragon is, well, unlikely.

I mainly said Blackthorne because of the 2.5d "step into the background" cover mechanic, but yeah you're right the rest of it isn'ty really similar at all.

I agree with you for the first half of the season, but by the end it felt like they were slip-sliding towards Generic The CW Superhero Show cinematography, at least with regards to fights. There was still some excellent framing later on, like (SPOILERS BUT NOT REALLY?) Fisk's Story Time monologue in the last ep.

Sounds like the Sea Dogs/Age of Pirates series, which for whatever reason has sort of fallen by the wayside. The mid-2000s Sea Dogs games were really, really fun, and played almost EXACTLY like Black Flag.

Best Coast is definitely a fixture on my summer playlists, but I much prefer Bleached — it's everything I like about Best Coast but about 15% less obnoxious.

Yeah, I miss those old games. Rock & Roll Racing! Lost Vikings! Blizzard has sort of lost me, I was onboard through WoW but the ridiculous genre opera plots are too much for me to swallow now.

It's technical limitations, actually. Both PS4 and XBOne are only optimized to render white people.

This looks a LOT like Mark of the Ninja, the old Prince of Persias, or (bear with me now) BLACKTHORNE.

Did anyone play the starfighter combat expansion for SWG? It was legitimately fun, basically X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter as an MMO.

Hell yeah Vuffi Raa. Those books were the shit. Even the names were great. Starcave of Thon-Bakka!

I heard a lot of people speculating that the BBC wouldn't care because they've let him off with a slap on the wrist before — but what you said is exactly what people were missing about this.

My pick for biggest studio-to-live improvement is Deep Purple's live version of Highway Star from Made in Japan. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Lucifer is my favorite graphic novel, full stop. I am very bummed about this. Not much more to say.

Mort, Reaper Man, and the Tiffany Aching novels stand out to me. Pratchett's depiction of bygone English pastoral life is up there with Tolkien. It's beautiful and sad.

They're pretty inescapable, and I admit to having a soft spot for D'yer Mak'er. Regardless, they're both better than Hot Dog.

It's doubly silly because there's WAY worse Zep songs. Like that piece of shit Fool in the Rain.
