I'm in the "minority"* in that the last 3-5 episodes of season ONE were irksome enough to make me doubt the show. So, season 2's errors glared brighter for me than some perhaps. I think it's about writing/planning/pacing. The metaplot was planned out, and I think they had scene's planned for...

I don't watch the show anymore, season two was the deathknell for me. I don't read every thread, but sometimes I look to see if the show has improved or something and maybe I should watch it. (It's always more fun watching them all at once rather than weekly for me.) So, there's a few ways to...

I never saw a group scrounge everything. Past level 3-4, it was coins (including gems/art) & magic only. If a group in 3e was stripping bloody armor off every mundane enemy, than 4e just means they have to do it 2.5 times as much. I don't see how reducing the sale value of an item means you...

My problem with the 4e "debates"; 1) people saying "that's not a valid criticism" when it's a public message board and someone is just venting. If it's not important, then just skip the message and let it die. Attacking the arguement and going multiple pages to "win" the semantic debate doesn't...

Though I didn't like the Fan Pro direction of Shadowrun, I wonder how this affects the former FASA properties.

I posted a long time back, right around the time of release, of how this edition drove me to WoW. Every little kick pushed me from someone that bought 90% of the books, so someone that currently only owns the PHB.

One of the things that bugged me since season one, was that they wanted to build to a climax each episode. So some episodes would have little development because they couldn't pad it out for the planned cliffhanger of the night. Other times, they have this big build up to the cliffhanger, then...

Hell dicaprio is still around, so who can tell. :)

As I predicted, I failed to even remember when it's on, so didn't see the episode.

Sure, didn't mean to say no one should like it. I just don't see the response of "well, sure the writing is bad, but comic books also have bad writing, so it's an homage to the genre!" as unworthy of reply. :) Plenty of folks like Heroes, even as the ratings slide it's still higher rated than...

The thing is, folks tune in dispite the writing rather than because of it, just like comic books with bad runs resulting in folks complaining about it while hoping it returns to quality. Heroes emulating questionable quality and relying on the past to keep folks interested doesn't seem like a...

Watching characters that never learn (or, more accurately, repeatedly learn the same lesson) is just pointless. If character advancement is reversed at will as a plot crutch, then the advancement has no meaning. Why care if Sylar learns compassion if he will simply regress and relearn it again 3...

Loved SU2, too bad it just disappeared.

I didn't even know there were webisodes, so I'm sure they're not needed to view it.

I played GW for a long time, and liked it. The problem for me was lack of friends playing, and GW:EN. I Just didn't care for the expansion much. There was a lot less variety in armor, but at least you got to choose it. WoW's mismatched toon's are irksome at best. I doubt a WWII game would fly...

I think the difference was that Fringe has a premise that is entertaining, but the actors failed to deliver, whereas Sanctuary is light on the premise, but the effects and acting (IMO) worked better. Sure the daughter was bratty, but she was supposed to be. The drama was downplayed, whereas...

I'm not sure I understood correctly, I didn't care for this ep, so I should watch the others, at least 1 of the three being worse than the one I didn't like? :) See, my main issue is one of rationality. I don't know if you ever watched King of Queens, but it's on during the day so I watch it...

I hadn't seen the previous episodes, so this was my first viewing. Didn't click with me. It's all way too overdramatic and the character chemistry just doesn't seem like a workable group. The super-science-without-explanation stuff, just doesn't matter to me. I think they failled to make it...

Read my second line then, and perhaps you'll see where I said it doesn't matter. How do you judge if someone is "receptive" to a new product, that they can give it the same fair treatment as their first exposure to it? You can't, and it doesn't matter because RPG products are so varied and...

Because of the momentum that the 10million subscribers give it. Development is always a bit hard to judge, who came first with an idea. Launching first may get you credit, but doesn't mean one copies another. The fact that WoW may learn from WoW's shortcomings, just as WAR can learn from WoW's...
