Yeah. Eph being pissed at Vet wasn't just about him killing his friend. It was also about him realizing that Vet and Setrakian are right, and there's no curing this thing, no matter how hard he applies the principles he lives by.

I was going to say this. I think the way the holocaust camp stuff has been handled so far has been restrained and pretty interesting, in particular, whereas in the book it just felt kind of flat.

It looked like how an 8 year old would dissect a frog. "Let's see how far this stretches!"

Abraham is the audience surrogate, basically.

They could have more cleverly got the checkout clerk kid worked in there, with a moment of him realizing that his dumb job isn't important anymore, and have him turn on the pumps. He can still get eaten, even. It creates a mini character arc, and lets us see one more average person watching their life crumble around…

It sucks that she's real now, because my dumb fan theory that she's just a decoy/PR face for the hacker organization now can't be true.

Yeah, in the books they first ground the virus and worms in reality, that Sardu is a creature with biological means and needs.

My go-to reference for that is the The Rescuers Down Under.

He was great in Hanna, too.

There's a good argument to be made that Hulu's very existence as a co-creation of a bunch of different content providers guarantees that they'll never have the teeth to push back when content negotiation comes around. It might be a structurally-unsound company from the get-go.

I have never seen it and I do live in Chicago! Maybe I better open my goddamn eyes. Its possible I thought it was something else and just skimmed it by.

Self-control is important, yeah, but each one of these chunks is a self-contained little story that usually ends on a cliffhanger. So, you feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of each chunk, rather than just a "well, I guess I better stop now." Most games aren't designed to be cut into chunks like that, and it'd…

I've literally never gotten further than 3 hours through a Final Fantasy game for this reason. I keep having to restart once I forget what everything is. "Materia? What the fuck are you talking about?"

I jumped onto the Walking Dead Telltale train before realizing that the episodic thing is a little weird, and I never looked back. It's certainly a more affable way to consume content for working people, where you might just catch a few free hours on a Sunday or whatever to crank through an episode. Then, you breath…

I signed up for Hulu just to catch up on Hannibal during season 2, only to discover they play that dumb "you can only watch this on your computer" game. Canceled my account that very hour.

"I think there were [boobs] but you had to slog through stupid bullshit to get to them."

It's funny, because if I knew nothing about video games I'd probably pick the Walking Dead Survival Instinct off a shelf before I'd pick the Telltale one.

I have super warm feelings for the Crackdown games and the recent Saint's Row taking a note from them is awesome.

I know sales = / = quality, but I'm pretty sure I saw it new on Amazon for like, $4 recently and still passed.

Zywiec makes a porter? I've only seen their Pilsner in stores and like it well-enough when summer hits me right.
