For me, I just didn’t finish it. Looked gorgeous and the world felt as lived in as ever, but Aloy was low key getting on my nerves and it felt like Guerrilla spent 5 years working on it without really changing much beyond making platforming worse and adding six skill trees for no reason. Read more

Thinks too much, writes a lot. Big nerd just hoping to have a good time and enjoy his job. Loves gum way too much.
Yeah I’m with you, man, this was something of a dud. Chuckled at some bits, but nothing made me cackle like a dipshit like last week or the Mr. Nimbus stuff a week prior. The Cap. Planet stuff felt like it was missing an edge or even a different angle on the material—like, no duh her “kids” just pimp her out to anyone… Read more
Me, two weeks ago: huh, I wonder how COVID impacted production Read more
I’m pretty certain it’s canon that Lord Shaxx got pegged by Mara Sov after reciting Shakespeare so yes, Destiny Fucks Read more
This was a solid season. Stronger individually instead of as a whole—7 and 1999 are definitely the best at being great on their own and a complete package—but a lotta fun. Read more
This time, Kratos must deal with...the dreaded Old Navy winter clothing sales Read more
Ash I am right there with you, because I started Inquisition again pretty much the day after the Gamescom demo and it still fucking rules. Forgot how much I loved the incidental banter between everyone. Read more
Love that my single player story about the failings of a venerable code can’t stand against those who don’t play fair to begin with becomes a supernatural sword slashing horde mode with buddies. Read more
All of these dudes are doing a lot to say “I don’t please my wife and make sex all about me.” Read more
So they’re clearly going to make a sequel. Like, the sales numbers for the opening weekend alone. Read more
What a devastating ending for that episode...only to be hilariously followed up by one of the silliest commercials they’ve done for this show. Read more
Beyond the Golden Gate Bridge and what I *think* was Chinatown, what landmarks are we expecting to see? Read more

God, I don’t think I realized how much I missed this series until I felt my heart swell hearing James Taylor’s voice. I’m so excited for this. Read more
As someone who does not Gather the Magic, seeing him on Twitter yesterday made a bitch’s eyes go wide in excitement. Read more
Oh hey, Sarah Chalke finally gets to do something other than react to her dad’s nonsense. (Which she’s aces at, but, c’mon.) Read more
It isn’t just that he’s well cast—though yes, that helps—it’s also that he feels like he felt like a fully formed person when he first showed up in the premiere. It doesn’t even feel like he doesn’t belong there, and the show doesn’t really make a point of it for a joke or anything of that sort. (I specifically am… Read more
Really dig the premiere, felt like just a regular episode in the best way. Read more
Loved this episode to bits. Like you said, all the performances were wonderful—Tala Ashe, you wonderful human—but I really came to enjoy Shayan Siobhan as Behrad. He’s asked to do a lot this season with a character who easily could’ve been one-note, but isn’t. Love that goofy airhead. (I also cracked the F up when he… Read more
The implication that Morty was doing things so heinous he managed to piss off MeToo AND GG AND did blackface simultaneously is somehow the funniest thing about this entire episode. (Close second is how Jerry just casually screws his son over without even realizing it. I knew the redo would happen, I just didn’t know… Read more
