    They are billions

    Having played the heck out of it recently it's a more or less complete experience minus the scripted campaign mode but as it stands it's a challenging game that feels wonderful to beat. Until you figure out what you need to do though it can be quite infuriating so it's a good idea to watch some...

    Time for your ShowHole recommendations!

    Alias Grace was probably the most memorable show of the year for me; it had great casting and wonderful dialogue to go along with an intriguing story. Its a period psychological mystery about a servant girl convicted of murder, it takes the format of a series of interviews between her and an...

    Knightfall

    Every major plot point in the first episode was predictable to the point of laziness but the acting/casting seems decent; some of the accents were very weird for a French setting though. I do hope it gets more interesting. The quarrel to the knee was pretty funny.

    Godless

    It was fine if you don't mind a simple and predictable western full of recoilless guns, villains who don't value their lives at all, somewhat bland characters preforming in stock roles and a lesbian love spat to meet the gay quota. It was really just a 2 episode experience plot wise; the other...

    Rick and Morty

    It's too bad that Beth didn't aim a little higher. But the cat did bring on the feels.

    South Park

    For all the effort they've put into these continuing story-lines they certainly seem just as committed to ensuring that nothing is ever allowed to progress in a satisfying way. I miss the old days where some random bs would happen to cap off an emotional/thoughtful moment and then Kenny would...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    No I never shared my info with anyone. The account was never banned but was suspended as a result of whatever nonsense the person who stripped it got up to in EC I presume. They said it was suspended due to suspicious activity and restored access but I logged back in just to see my guys near...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I vaguely recall reading here or on the other forum that awhile back a GM or someone was stripping inactive accounts of items. Would someone be kind enough to post what they remember of the incident? It seems that might have happened to my account.

    Everspace (Space shooter)

    I gave this another shot and liked it better this time around but I still hate the initial start. There are some things that you just shouldn't need to grind credits for like better loot chance, being able to view repair ships and the threat levels on the map. Dying over and over again because...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I had completely forgotten how retarded Coirnav looked.

    Everspace (Space shooter)

    I didn't like this mainly because of how reliant your experience is on the RNG and that the progression is based on dying and buying things post death. I prefer games where you have initial control and your subsequent decisions determine how you do, in this game you can be dicked over as soon...

    South Park

    Looks like the berries will be a thing next season for better or worse. Their absence didn't bother me though so I found this episode to be one of the funnier ones this season which admittedly isn't saying much but I actually laughed more than 0-2 times this episode which puts it above the rest...

    Westworld

    That definitely would have worked better but as I brought up a couple pages ago her whole escape scene was scripted and in such a way as to be remarkably similar to the daily safe heist in Sweetwater which may point to some kind of reveal later down the road or maybe not. Anyway it doesn't make...

    Westworld

    Upon further reflection I was taken aback by the similarities of tone and structure that exist between Maeve's escape and the Sweetwater safe heist. They both open up with a poorly concealed attempt to hide in plain sight followed by the swift death of the person who investigates, from there...

    Westworld

    I enjoyed the ending quite a bit and was grinning right along with William there at the end but the issue that soured the experience for me, as always, was Maeve; as yet another perfect moment to kill her off, risk free, is ignored and that farce with the brain dead security guards was...

    The Walking Dead

    These are my feelings as well, I stopped watching the show somewhere after the big prison showdown and only picked it up again because I heard that Rick got kicked in the balls. Now I'm reminded of why I stopped watching again; all of the unlikable characters, time killing dramatic stares...

    Westworld

    Everything revolving around Maeve continues to be absolute poison but this episode gave me hope; it established the fact that her situation isn't organic, it's been engineered (given that she is completely shielded from park surveillance) and that her entire storyline is one of Ford's social...

    The Crown

    This was very well done and had a higher production value than the typical Monarchical drama from the BBC or elsewhere. Usually in these types of shows the focus hardly ever leaves the monarch and the palace they are stuck in; this show had a broader scope with a variety of actors, settings and...

    South Park

    Well it certainly felt like something that was hastily whipped together at the last moment. Apart from the water sport incident this hasn't been a very entertaining season for me, it feels like each episode is trying to build towards something in the future to detriment of any comedy before then.

    Westworld

    The first episode was immersive and intense, last nights was the complete opposite. I don't want to know what kind of mental gymnastics are required to view them as being equal in quality. Anyway I agree that the only way to make sense of the techs is if they are hosts themselves without any...

    Westworld

    This was the first episode of the series that I truly disliked. Everything having to do with the two technicians was absurdly contrived; from the lack of internal security in this multi billion dollar facility to the inexplicable willingness of these two to aid a rogue AI, nothing made sense...

    Rimworld

    Mental breaks aren't really a big threat once you understand things better but it's a shame that there isn't a real tutorial yet to walk players through all the details. The best way to start the game is to watch some let's plays of people who have played a bit so you can figure things out...

    Bojack Horseman

    It's just like the other seasons, light until the last few episodes and then the depression kicks in. Mr. Peanutbutter as the Governor next season sounds fun though.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    It sounds like a great way to ensure that every season lives up to the exceedingly high standards set by the first season of any scifi series.

    Archer

    It was amusing on a slapstick level and given how they dressed everyone it was obvious that the seduction storyline could go nowhere. Anyway I wonder what they'll try next season, bounty hunting?

    The Americans

    It felt like I've waited three seasons for Phillip and Elizabeth to finally stop coddling Paige, that was a bit satisfying. I still wish that she had been shipped off to Russia as all of the circumlocuitous family drama regarding her has detracted from the rest of the show for me. Apart from...

    Stellaris

    The only thing that seems to meaningfully set this apart from any of the other space 4x games that have been released over the past few years is the 32 player multiplayer. It's a shame that the combat is so hands off and that there's no tactical use to any of the stellar bodies or anomalies...

    Animals HBO

    The trailer got me excited... but then I watched the first episode and found lots of slow, awkward, humorless babble. Here's hoping that they find their stride fast and the rest are better.

    Darkest Dungeon

    I'm probably sure this doesn't exist as I've looked around but on the off chance that I missed it does anyone know if there is a mod out there that disables combat animations? I played the heck out of this game in early access and I noticed it then but after a few hours now I can't stand how...

    The Crown

    It looks good but would it kill someone to create a show about a monarchy other than one in Britain? The Borgia's was great largely in part because it felt fresh and different. Take a map of Europe/Asia and throw a dart FFS I'm sure there are tons of other interesting stories that haven't been...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Back in the day on live I did velks castle in a group for decent exp and some drops/gems. Also did siren's grotto at the bottom of the well which isn't bad at all if you are religious about dispelling everything and can resit or stun them fairly reliably. If you are asking about soloing as a...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    The ghosts in Venril's pit are very good exp. It's not easy but it was novel and fun, decent gem drops too.

    What did you just read?

    I read them all a few years ago and while I don't remember much about them I do recall not being very satisfied with where they went in the end. It was another case of an interesting premise taken nowhere all that interesting unfortunately. If you're already on the fence about continuing then...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    At this point I would respect him more if he just had Kvothe pull an unreliable narrator and informed Chronicler that he was just pulling his leg that night and proceeded to tell him the true story of what happened during the time frame of book two. I'm sure it would be easier to start again...

    Sicario (2015)

    From my point of view this wasn't a movie in the usual sense, it was more of a statement about how things can truly function when the decision is made somewhere. It wasn't entertainment. At least I didn't find it to be as none of the characters were particularly sympathetic and as such there...

    The Martian (2015)

    I finally got around to watching this; I was leery of another space flick after Gravity's explosion fest of a story (yeah lynch me) but this was pretty good. A little dull at times and predictable but overall a decent feel good movie with some enjoyable humor, character and tension. I...

    The Knick

    Well that ending... was an anti climax. Logically it was bound to happen to him at some point but what an unsatisfying end to an otherwise good show, despite the realism. That said it looks like they might make a third season of this but it wasn't planned from the start.

    Every time the weekly racial injustice segment of each episode runs I can't help but ask; Edwards why don't you go back to France? You had to have been less frustrated, you were allowed to train, practice and publish without being shat upon... whats the deal? Pack up your family and go...
