It’s such an odd choice, given the possibilities offered by recurring villains. Which isn't to say that it can’t be overdone - in the source material they have the opposite problem, and no one can ever stay dead!

While I greatly enjoyed both Black Panther and the Dark Knight, I don’t think either is perfect. Every time I watch Dark Knight I’m riveted when Ledger is on screen and bored when he’s not; it’s an amazing performance. For Black Panther the third act is the worst kind of...

Oh yeah? I say there were NO Mass Effect games. Take that!

We can always dust off the indoctrination theories from the end of ME3, if you want to reopen an insane can of worms.

Bakker’s Second Apocalypse, animated, late night on Adult Swim (if such a thing still exists) along with all the dodgy anime. It will attract an audience of dozens, at least.

I read this as “on the spectrum”; my immediate thought was “how rude!” followed by “shouldn’t they be lawful neutral, anyhow?”. Anyway, for someone who likes playing anti-authoritarian chaotic good characters (how I think I am) and humorless lawful neutral rule-followers (how I actually am), I...

Finally had a crack at PoE2: Deadfire after having it sit in my Steam library forever. Really wish I’d got to it earlier, it’s a great RPG in the classic style. Cool items, difficult decisions, lots of reactivity to your character, and all set in a wonderful Caribbean/Pacific pirate pastiche. My...

Fascinating; I had this happen to me, with one poorly-chosen Baldur’s Gate review video leading to an avalanche of chuds. I don’t recall when it was, so I don’t know if it was before or after the algorithm change, but it took months of pruning to get things back to normal.

My TV watching habits are impeccable. Only the classics and quality genre shows. No skeletons in my closet. …just please don’t look at my YouTube history.

I vastly prefer solasta’s take on the 5E rules in terms of combat, though it falls short of BG3 in almost every other respect. I do wish the items were a little more interesting: BG3 is crazy Monty-haul-D&D-meets-DOS2 overpowered nonsense, but Solasta’s just a little too bland. I’m sure there’s...

I’m very embarrassed about my buttposting; I hope no one draws attention to it.

I was always disappointed with The Farthest Shore, because I wanted to see how Tenar’s story continued more than Ged’s. Never really warmed to the young prince and found it a bit too similar to Wizard of Earthsea in tone - shadow’s just a bit bigger in scale this time. The later books felt...

Get well soon, or as soon as is feasible. How do they handle on an iPad? I’m a keyboard and mouse addict and can’t imagine using a touchscreen interface - I suspect it would have the opposite effect on my blood pressure.

I don’t care about optimal I care about fun (for me!). “Shotgun infiltrator “ sounds more like a filthy Vanguard to me.

It’s a very slow, meticulous, precise play style; standing way back and taking sniper shots, with the occasional power thrown in. You might hate it, if that’s not your cup of tea. I never did do a Renegade run, maybe that’s worth a shot. Though I’m not sure I can give up Jennifer Hale.

I never really replayed Mass Effect for precisely this reason: I’d start off trying another class, and spend the whole time thinking wistfully of the Infiltrator. They’re just so fun!

Normally a mild-mannered fellow, I find driving in general and parking in particular gets me pretty fired up and ready to key the cars of inconsiderate pr*cks such as you describe. I would recommend letting air out of tyres or getting to work with your keys, but that would be bad and wrong, so...

Your original question has been answered, but I'd just like to reccommend the film wholeheartedly. The cinematography is great and the acting is a cut or three above what you'd expect in a horror film. It's pretty damn grisly though, and I actually had to walk out at one stage, though I am a big...

Indeed, a very good story hour. Your plotting, in particular, is wonderfully epic and convoluted (in a good way). The dark tone is a nice change to many of the other story hours - I get the impression that someone listens to too much heavy metal.....

Thousands of consistency errors aside, I didn't hate it. It was clear from about 15 minutes in that the brain needed to be shut down very quickly if any enjoyment was to be had. After that, it was kind of fun in a campy way, and I much prefer Wenham in this role than as Faramir. Analysing all...
