Out of curiosity, what's people's beef with AEW's shows? What should they do differently? Is the issue with it the look/presentation, the structure and pacing, the matches, the character development, or something else? Right now neither company really interests me, so I don't know what AEW's...

Looking at that article, it sounds like the other way around? They say that the handholding Navi characters aren't present for most of the game. At this point, I'll probably like the game because my expectations are so low and I'm sure it'll be decent enough. If I'd gone in blind with sky-high...

I also wasn't crazy about Dread. Only played through it once, beat the game, then later when I replayed Metroid 1-4 I found that I had no desire whatsoever to continue onto 5. I did try, and turned it off after about an hour. Wasn't into Samus Returns either so I guess I don't like the...

The Prydain Chronicles is another good series for any age. Sort of a Lord of the Rings with heavy Welsh/Irish/Hibernian/Nordic influences. Five books. Very easy to read, compulsively so. Aside from LOTR and Harry Potter, Prydain is the third book series that I could read every few years and have...

Nirgon vs. Araysar If this doesn't end in Araysar being the asshat, then the USSR wins.

Kind of surprised that the woman is on the right. I would have 100% expected a story like this to be an angry leftie. Hate crime hoaxes have been at an all-time high since 2021, and it's mostly women using politics or race to drum up sympathy / make themselves the main character. Like that one...

The lore in EQ hasn't been interesting in a long time, as I understand it. The last time I personally got much out of it was during the Velious remake (level 115) where we had Velious get nuked by Vulak and have to go to Sleeper's Tomb to stop him. Even the other dragons are generally against...

That's cool. I've noticed a lot of weird music similarities over the years between unrelated game properties. Everyone takes inspiration from somewhere. That sounds like Flaaghra's battle music. Omega Pirate is as far as I ever got with Prime 1 on Hard Mode back in the day. So all I had left...

Anybody who hasn't, do yourself a favor and get this while it's $9. Like Tuco said $9 is way more than worth it just to play the first half of the game.

This version of FF12 is the one they used for the Zodiac Age remaster for modern systems, if you want to play a (very very nice) upscale of it instead. They also changed it a bit to let every character pick two classes on the ability board instead of one.

Never played any of the 3D Castlevanias, just all the 2D ones. If I ever do a 3D one, now I know which one to play. I maintain that Metroid Prime 2 is good, and better than people remember. Just play it in the dark and stuff so the atmosphere can be absorbed. Too bad there's no remaster of it...

Who are you and why are you pretending that you want to win?

The movie IS based on "Who Goes There?" - "Frozen Hell" is the expanded version of that original novella, with about 25-30% more pages and a lot of changes to the existing ones. Turns out that Campbell wrote a lot more of this story than what was published, and it fell on his son (IIRC) to find...

Most criticism of AEW is overblown, and mostly by people who never actually watch it. As someone who actually is familiar with the product, though, it does have a lot of room for improvement, and didn't measure up to all the promise it had in 2019. There was a pretty big responsibility hefted...
