It’s been a long time since i played the original, but I never thought he seemed like a cat.

The thing i can’t understand about HGTV shows is the constant push for open-concept living. Have any of the people in these shows ever lived with another person? I love my kids. I love my wife. But if I couldn’t put a wall between what they’re doing and what i’m doing when I need to, then we’d be on the fast track to…

Hard no from me on this one. I was struggling to find the funny all episode.

If you read any of his story collections that they have out there in publication, it’s pretty much inescapable. You might read just one of his short stories by itself and think maybe it’s just the point of view of a specific character. But then you read the entire collection and you realize there’s a deeply racial…

Exactly. See also Percy Whetmore from Green Mile, Captain Hadley from Shawshank, the greasers in It or Stand By Me (The Body) etc....

Jack is the classic Stephen King bully/sadist that appears in just about all his stories.

These are the kinds of moments I’ve enjoyed most with DE. I just wish the basic act of walking around in the world didn’t feel so clunky and slow. When the best parts of the game are the strange conversations, anything that pulls away from that gets really tiresome. Especially when you’re backtracking the same piece…

I just felt his music felt way too modern-pop or broadway to believably fit in the fantasy setting.

I wasn’t aware that Tarkov’s devs had all the resources of Ubisoft’s largest team at their disposal.

Is it a “bad decision” that you can’t play Gone Home from the perspective of a heterosexual male? Each developer can choose how they feel their game should be made. You can expect every developer to make a hundred different versions of a game to cater to each individuals world view.

Never finished episode 4, but the whole experience left me feeling like how Haruki Murakami would write an novel about Americana.

Not just Iraq. Iranians haven’t forgotten how the US orchestrated the coup in 1953 that lead to being ruled by the Shah. The road to “Death to America” didn’t start last week or in 2003.

I’ve always wondered what it would be like if they made the FF games themselves in this artistic style.

Isn’t “Almost Unplayable” practically a box quote for the series at this point?

Really disappointing to hear about. The thing is, the sex scenes didn’t really elevate the show anyway. The powerhouse cast already brought the material to a level it needed to get to. The nudity could have just been implied and still easily achieved its goal.

I want to like it so much more than I actually do. The pacing and storytelling feels completely disjointed to me. I can’t tell who they want you to feel invested in since they jump around and seem to discard characters at will. Major plot beats don’t land because they are rushing to cover so much ground. It feels like…

Anyone who thinks that Spectre was that bad should go re-watch the dinner scene from In Her Majesty’s Secret Service. 

Haven’t finished it yet, but it has struck me as being pretty critical of all socio-economic systems presented. Everyone seems deeply flawed, which is what makes navigating and roleplaying in the game so good.

Can we resurrect Deadspin for a day to get our 2019 guide?

Nope to Return To Oz. That film gave me so many nightmares as a kid.
