Describing DeSantis as “reasonably competent” is very generous.  

You nailed it. I’m only a few missions into the story but it’s pretty obvious it’s supposed to be Modern Warfare, but set during WW2.

I got the impression the game was aiming for more of an over the top Inglorious Bastards vibe but slightly more toned for something like the Dirty Dozen and fit it into the framework as a prequel to their now unified Cold War/Modern Warfare task forces.

So trying to blame it for not being historically accurate…

I would think more likely that they had a bunch of usable assets lying around from one of their middle eastern settings and simply used them when designing this map. It’s still dumb and insensitive, I will give you that, but I rarely attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity or laziness.

As an Italian-American who had relatives from both North and South Italy who spoke with strong accents when I was growing up, I made it through about 20 seconds of that trailer before I had to turn it off. I have never heard an Italian speak English like that. If I had to tell you what I thought it sounded like,…

The same section of the book is plodding, so yeah… and then the pace hits warp speed with time jumps and rushed climatic battles. It resembles how GoT, the show, took its time with world building and establishing characters before hitting fast forward during the final two seasons.

This is almost certainly the case. They know they won’t be able to avoid it and even a half-assed apology like their “free Hong Kong” debacle from several years ago won’t cut it. On top of it, with all the departures recently many games are probably running somewhat rudderless at the moment.

Finally, they have only…

How they get to a billion...

It's a pretty cool URL though, right?

I’m amused by the fact that in the last 5 minutes, Mass Effect 3 adopts the entire driving conflict of Beast Machines.

Well... Purcell over on Legends lambasted the “fake cunts” running the shows and offered to give private warnings to any actor thinking of working there (though immediately changed his tune when he had time to cool down (or was threatened/bribed?)). Jon Cryer over on Supergirl has apparently liked tweets calling for…

There were rumors that Arrow was under a similar film situation where they were rushing to film episodes quickly and that put the actors under increased strain/risk of harm because of the physical nature of the characters they’re portraying and the stunts required. Rushed fight choreography alone is a huge risk to…

China McClain said she didn’t have any problems with any of the producers on “Black Lightning,” but she did imply that she was unhappy with pandemic-related working conditions.

I’m just excited to see a reference to the Prester John legend! There’s an excellent non-fiction book about that fascinating little piece of history called “The Realm of Prester John” by Robert Silverberg. 

Dexter should be nowhere near this list. The Good Place deserves to be higher. 

It seems impossible, by definition, for a person with a uterus who identifies as a woman to be trans.

For those looking, I think Target’s probably your best bet. Last I checked they don’t do order online, ship to your house, just order online pickup in store. That helps keep bots from snatching them all up and limits your competition just to people in the same local area. You just have to get up early, because the…

Now? It was always annoying. Having to solve 20 captchas in a row for no reason was annoying as hell. 

Reporting on it is not even remotely comparable to sending the video directly to his daughter. The comparison is silly.

That thing can’t stand up under it’s own weight. Reviews talk about light leaking, adhesive failure, plus gsync issues, fragility. Some retailers have pulled the product. Just because it’s on sale, doesn’t mean it’s good.
