I love these guys and they absolutely deserve an award, but I agree this isn’t the best of their work. I don’t even think it is their best Kirby song. Their Gourmet Race arrangement works so much better.

While I’m in the “all games should offer difficulty options for players” camp I’m kind of glad this guy is getting beefed back up. I didn’t get to start Elden until just a few weeks ago, and I found the nerfed version of this guy really sucked the air out of what should have been more epic. Yeah part of it was just…

PVP isn’t as huge a part of the game as it sometimes seems. There was a ton of invasions going on when the game first came out, but by and large most of the unwanted pvp has died down. I’ve put 80 hours in to the game and can only think of 5 times I’ve been invaded, (there are scripted NPC fights that are called…

The worst thing my dad ever did to me was get me in to those books. 2001, I was in high school and needed something new to read so I went to my dad’s bookshelf for a new series. He told me to try out this series he liked a lot, figured I was finally old enough to keep up with the complex storyline. Besides, he said,…

I’m surprised he doesn’t work for Dodge of Burnsville here in Minnesota.

Also, as someone who’s dealt with more than a few suicides over the course of my life, it really isn’t that uncommon to see someone talk a lot about how great they’re feeling and how they’re over whatever problems they’ve had and even go on to say (often without it really being part of the conversation) “I’m not…

It really is another one of those “copy the damn animated series!” moments. All those years in S:TAS with Lex being just a big, power hungry and egomaniac CEO who slowly gets pushed to more extremes was amazing. His hatred, fear and respect for Superman came through great, and it was believable when he finally snapped…

His version of Luthor would have fit better if he hadn’t been a megacorp CEO and went more Silver Age mad scientist with him. Or if we’d had more time with him as a CEO and then slowly saw him go nuts as he tried to make sense of the wildness of Superman and what he represents. But I guess we could say that the…

Sure, slap on some big knees and lets call it a day.

Only reason I got a PS5 was I had skipped the PS4 and was ready to buy, and I was lucky enough to find one with minimal difficulty. The few PS5 games I’ve done (and ps4 upgrades) are nice, but I’m spending almost all my time on the PS4 games I missed out on. The PS4 catalogue is still great and the few good PS5 only…

Yeah the in game “gambling” is the equivalent of a Chuk-E-Cheese’s arcade. You’re also right in that the only microtransactions are for vanity stuff and the ability to buy level skips. But, I can not stress this enough, there is basically no pressure in this game to spend a dime beyond your subscription. It is about…

Maybe not intentional but Shimmerman (Quark) played different Ferengi on TNG and he talked a lot about doing what he could to make Ferengi better and get away from the stereotypes used in their creation.

Kind of. Generally people who study religion academically are not automatically considered “theologians.” But a lot of people outside the field use the term as a catch-all. I, for example, did undergraduate and master’s programs in religious study, but I am not a member of any particular religion nor do I study…

Yeah I feel like they did it for no other reason than to troll the audience and generate the endless articles and threads speculating on characters moving to specific movie universes. Can’t say it wasn’t successful.

Oof, kinda bummed about this one. Glad they took that action (and I won’t miss his Bob’s Burgers char much) but he was a prominent actor in a lot of the Cross and Odenkirk stuff that I like to rewatch. 

Spoiler alert for the end of No Way Home that should clear up some of this.

Right? I’ve never understood putting Sonic in anything but cartoon environments. The character just fits those better and it gives you a better excuse to throw in all the ramps and loops and crap that makes Sonic actually fun. This almost strikes me as a world made by people who take the Sonic universe very seriously.

Paladin main here, and I agree. It feels wonderful. The extra healing and attack magic helps it feel so unique and more like other versions of paladins from FF games. On one MSQ trial Saturday night, very late, there were no healers around. People were in queue for it for hours. So my group decided to do it with all…

Agreed, the panic and helplessness I felt in that section really made it stand out. Things had been going relatively well for all your NPC friends too, so being stuck as a slow, weak little nobody made me really worry that this was where something really bad was going to happen. The sense of dread was great.
Also was…
