At some point (not sure if it's still true anymore) it was for copyright reasons, believe it or not. The wave of Holmes productions like Sherlock and Elementary came out in the wake of the earlier run of Holmes short stories leaving copyright, but the Conan Doyle estate insisted that the...

As I recall we had a similar situation in the UK, at some point half of Lower Decks was available on Amazon, and the other half was on Paramount+. These days I subscribe to Paramount+ via Prime, but only when there's new Star Trek on. I will miss having older Trek series available on Netflix...

Pretty much every game has had one or two. One of your companions in Fallout 3 is a supermutant who's a bit of a philosopher, and in Fallout 4 there's a supermutant scientist.

Yeah, "somehow Maul returned" would actually feel more satisfying in comparison.

I gave up on House after the episode when he took an MRI machine out of commission trying to prove he knew better than the people who operated it full-time. That was an act that actually put patients at risk, and I'd had enough of the character's crap at that point.

It was indeed. Just pointing out that it can have other effects depending upon how it's deployed. How it's intended to be used in vaults 32 and 33 remains to be seen.

F.E.V. is a directed mutagenic virus. It drives the body to adapt to whatever environmental stresses it's currently being subjected to. It was initially used in combination with massive radiation exposure in an attempt to develop rad-resistant humans, resulting in the supermutants, but change...

Except that Hank was chipped afterwards, and he seemed to have that same helpful persona after he mindwiped himself.

Licence them out to Obsidian.

I'm just starting out playing Ghost of Yotei. Not quite feeling the immediate connection to the main character that I did in Ghost of Tsushima, but the gameplay feels comfortably familiar and I'm looking forward to exploring further.

Quite possibly, yes, but even before that actress got toxic I'd have preferred a version more focused on the regular Republic troops than the former special forces soldier.

After watching those few episodes of The Mandalorian where those couple of Republic X-Wing pilots would show up I found myself wanting to see something like a police procedural of those guys and/or others tackling cases on various planets around the Outer Rim. Wouldn't even need to involve any...

"I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which...

"O Lady of Blessed Acceleration don't fail me now."

Yeah, Atari ST was my chosen brand during the Atari / Amiga days, even though I'd previously had a Commodore 64. I still remember it fondly, many hours spent playing Elite II, Starglider 2, Carrier Command among others.

Wondering about what threads may come together in the finale, I was thinking that they've had the mind control chips as a major thing throughout this season, and now they've introduced F.E.V., so what if those things come together? If you install chips in a bunch of people and then expose them...

More or less. Mostly I was trying to specify something you've used and owned for a long time, rather than just something old you acquired recently.

"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought and now HR is involved."

What's the oldest piece of technology that you've owned from new or nearly new and still use? For me, I have a clock radio I've owned for somewhere in the region of 40 years that still wakes me up every morning. It has a red LED digital display, and is old enough to have a built-in cassette tape...

CCGs and similar collectathons in general. Aside from the fact that I've never been really keen on competitive games, I feel like if I ever did get into such a hobby I'd get too deep quickly, and be sinking far more time and money into them than would be a good idea. So, yeah, for such hobbies...
