I just don't want to see an actual minion meta ever again. Being meta is a good way of getting shat on whether you deserve it or not. Not being meta is a good way of getting buffs whether you deserve them or not. I think Guardian, Absolution and Raise Spectre are going to push it over the line...

I feel the same way. The zero percent representation is completely divorced from the strength of the ascendancy. It's the kind of situation where you see something get buffed and just know it's going to get nerfed down the road. I get stomping on some of the meta stuff. What they've chosen to...

Maybe time for a remake

The stuff with Joe Miller in book four is the only time in the series I felt like I was reading something special. Something about it really seized my interest. I kinda had a similar experience with the Expeditionary Forces series where they were good enough to keep going but the stories rarely...

I was giving the imbued gems some thought People are going to wreck themselves chasing specific skill/support combinations. I had to scale back my own plans (bolt Feeding Frenzy on to minion skill) when I saw that would be something like a one in forty-five. If it's a transfigured gem and you...

No one gives a shit because it's Gerald's Game but Gerald's Game is 100% over and then keeps going for another 30 pages. The Stand is definitely worse because it sets up a major armed conflict between Boulder and Vegas to never pay that off to then do the "story is over here's fifty more pages...

It's fine. The dude being asthmatic and coughing through act one made me want to shut it off but it's fine.

None of my shit got nerfed Going to be a good league

Put me down for "this is still going to be too good"

You convince poor tards that the reason they're poor is GGG's fault and then when the underlying loot gets boosted it has a expontential effect on big investment group play juicer gameplay. I watched two videos of super juicers complaining about ground loot and then a third juicer doing a...

Being able to better run the maps you want to run right away is going to really help smooth out league starts. If you hit a plateau or your starter needs more work than you expected you can put everything on hold and grind through a block of maps of the layout and tier you are comfortable with...

I never went and checked a synopsis so I don't know if my concerns ever manifested but I definitely ruined my own enjoyment just the same. I'm just going to assume that at least some main characters exploded. Related to the time skip we get (it's been a while bear with me) Clarissa Mao joining...

I gave up partway through book seven. Doing a 28 year time skip for the concluding trilogy means you can kill anyone off while still leaving yourself a huge block of time to write more stories in later if you feel so inclined. I don't know what happened, I never looked at a synopsis but it...

That he was still introducing new point of view characters and expanding the narrative in book 5 rather than condensing things down to wolf versus lion is a big part of why I've got no real expectation he'll ever finish things up before dying.

I thought it was the dumbest piece of shit I'd ever seen the first time and gold the second. Of all the movies I've disliked and turned around on The Quick and the Dead has the biggest swing.

The parts of Sinners that I liked I liked enough to look the other way on some things. There's just no way there's going to be a kickass folk singing Irish vampire to carry me through this show. X-Files is a honky show with a lot of honky actors and a honky fanbase. It's really likely we're...

I've been waiting over twenty years to see what happens next with Sam in Oldtown, Ser Jaime, Brienne and the other storylines that were advanced in a Feast for Crows but saw little to no space on the page allocated for them in A Dance with Dragons. Tell me all about what would made LotR better...

Not so much, no.

I did one Hunger Games and one Mortal Engines and they were...fine? Got a look around but didn't see any reason to continue.

A few summers ago I gave France's edgiest man, the Marquis de Sade, a try with his unfinished work 100 Days of Sodom and it was just not written all that well. I get it was unfinished and that there's a translation to English probably fucking things up but it did not impress. I have to think...

Adding some of Tukohama's TotA units to the campaign might indicate TotA is finally coming back. Jade Hulk spectre is go!

These are nice. I'm not sure lumping them together for one video was the way to go but they're nice.

We'll get content video tomorrow and then the full trailer Thursday. Personally I think the daily teaser is going to do a better job building hype than getting hardly any information and a GGG employee having to post on reddit explaining why there's no teasers but maybe I'll feel differently...

Yep, that's about what I'm looking for or an equivalent substitute. I know a couple nerds I can count on to not steer me wrong but I'm not showing up for the premiere on my own.

I'm willing to give it a try but first I'm going to need to hear some good things about it from people whose opinions I find trustworthy. New shows typically fail to meet this requirement.

The new ones are fine but that's all they are.

I don't remember if he said where the other films ended up and I'm not going back to look. I'm going to have a hard time believing Jay would rather watch The Gift than Evil Dead 1, The Quick and the Dead, A Simple Plan, Send Help, the other Spidermens, etc.

Caught for the first time. It's something I really should have caught on basic cable and somehow never did. Ivan Reitman came a long fucking way from this to Ghostbusters in only five years with Stripes in the middle. I know Meatballs was well liked in it's time but this is more like a work...

I'm not saying that they're equal. I'm saying that George R R Martin's writings were informed by Lord of the Rings (and it's innumerable ripoffs). Which they were. Martin's been asked about and compared to Tolkien a bajillion times. This is my take on what he's said and what we've received.

With Game of Thrones functioning in part as a response to and a subversion of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings I must say that never finishing the story fits perfectly. Instead of your son protecting your most important literary contribution and stewarding it through the decades you instead don't...

Hey, Rich quit reading Spiderman the same time I did with One More Day. Spiderman makes a deal with the devil to nuke his marriage so his elderly aunt can live a little bit longer. This nukes a bunch of character development and shreds several currently running plots all at the same time...

Boner comedy about nerds driving across country for the best deal on computer parts

Growing up raised by humans he became a total weeb (for Klingon stuff). His idealism runs head first in to the reality of the Klingon Empire on numerous occasions across both TNG and DS9 adding depth to the character and conflict for the writers to explore. Hell, towards the end of DS9 he...

There's more than you might think

I've got it in the "like" category but it can be a challenge. The distance between the cool parts gets pretty fucking wide. I caught the sequel for the first time last year and actually really liked it. Hal gets a character arc even. It shares nothing in terms of aesthetic with Kubrick's film...

Pacing? I've got your pacing right here. I was in to sci fi and horror at an irresponsibly early age so I was willing to give a lot of stuff a chance. When I first saw Planet of the Apes it was 25 years old it wasn't even as old then as The Matrix is now. It made a fucking mountain of cash...

Didn't Tuco play all those games and report on them?

I caught a ton of movies when I was a 90s kid that were from the 60s and 70s because of basic cable combined with nothing else going on. Given all of the available options today I can't see how young people would choose to sit down and watch any particular movie of 20/30/40/whatever years ago...
