Moa

Despite my very negative initial impression, I think this show manages to be more than the sum of its parts. It's very clear that the pieces are there for the show to improve and be something truly special. Henry Cavill really makes for a fantastic Geralt. "Fuck."

It is somewhat surprising, but the game has been out since 2015 and each year there is more and more reason to pick it up. I bet it has one of the most steadily growing install bases of any game. Ubisoft has put a tremendous amount of work dragging the game back from a broken and controversial (Ubisoft downgrade!) launch to make it one of the best multiplayer shooters on the market.

It's Disco (Elysium) time!

So I finally beat this game, and it was fantastic as hell. It's the type of game that is hard to talk about because it is so unique. It took me 18 meandering hours until I manage to roll credits. This is probably my favorite game this year, although I'm still working through Disco Elysium, but I think this is about as close to perfection as I've experienced in a game. Every aspect of this game reinforces everything else in the game. I've typed and deleted a few too many paragraphs describing how brilliant this game is, but who needs to read all that.

I am finishing Outer Wilds dammit! I think I'm one or two steps from the end but am completely blanking on what to do.

TABS is definitely the perfect game I would never spend money on but will absolutely put 35 minutes into.

They probably also make it clear when things are happening. The problem with the show is not being non-chronological but not making the chronology clear.

Anything made in the last 10 years. The vast majority of the sets look empty, sterile, and contrived. Many of the props look straight up fake. Just take a look at the scenes from the skull cave, it all reminds me just a little too much of the 1982 classic The Beastmaster.

Oh man, this fourth episode is such hilarious nonsense I can't help but smile.

I'm liking the series slightly more since watching the second and third episode, but man the costumes, sets, and lighting make the show look like dogshit sometimes. The forest in the fourth episode is particularly awful.

That first episode was rough.

I didn't really need a sequel to Hellblade since it felt pretty self-contained, but it's also the exact type of game that could benefit from the refinements a sequel would offer. If they turn up the combat to feel rewarding and do everything they did right in the first game well, a sequel could be fantastic.

Disco Elysium deserves all the recognition it can get.

The Ashley Burch Award goes to Mads Mikkelsen, nice to see some lesser known voice actors get their due.

No to this.

Alan Watts really gets around for a dead guy.

Coming up with ten is kind of hard. Inside Llewyn Davis Whiplash Parasite Your Name I want to round it out to an even five, but I can't think of another movie I saw that stands with these four.

There are plenty of movies that are above clickbait youtube criticism, but I suspect TLJ is not among them.

As far as I'm concerned there are only three Star Wars movies and they're pretty alright.

It's been a long while since I've read the comic book, but this is the impression I get. Whoever they give Dr. Manhattan's powers would just be Dr. Manhattan. The nature of his powers would make who he was prior to becoming Dr. Manhattan irrelevant.

There's only one list I care about, and these ain't it.

No wonder this show reminded me so much of LOST. I'm liking the show quite a bit but the thing I'm enjoying most is trying to unravel the differences between this world and our own. I also think this show does a good job with addressing politics in the year of our lord 2019. Every time I laugh at the idea of Robert Redford being president I remember how implausible our current predicament would seem if only it were fiction. "Is this a Zeus thing?" has to be the line of the series.

I know digital foundry videos are mostly about performance, but it's super obnoxious to see a video call something a game of the year contender and then say almost nothing about the gameplay. Is this a good game?
