I totally agree. I don't necessarily see the show splitting with the books as a bad thing. The showrunners have done a great job so far, and some of the very best scenes were never in the books at all (the scene between Robert and Cersei in episode five of season one is still a personal...

Finished it. The "story mode" (i.e. non-Chalice dungeon stuff) took me about 35 hours. Then I did all the non-randomized Chalice dungeons, which took me another 20 hours. I started New Game+ and killed the first two bosses (mostly to see how hard it would be) and then gave it a rest for other...

Hah, well, there was actually some sort of Amazon flash sale on Evil Within this morning -- it was going for $20, so I went ahead and bought it despite my reservations. Seven hours later, and it's already back to $30, so I feel like I got a decent deal. Who knows, maybe I won't mind mind the...

Sad, but shouldn't be surprising to anyone. Martin's been taking 5-6 years between books, so it was pretty obvious that the show was going to end up outpacing the books at some point. But as you say, books 1-3 were great, and 4-5 were meh. So I'm not actually super-concerned. I think the...

Yeah, that's the sense I got from reviews: it could have been really great because the core gameplay is there, but then there's a lot of random BS design decisions and situations that are just completely unfair. Ah well. You can always just play Resident Evil 4 again. That one never gets old...

No, although considering it's an RE4 clone and RE4 is one of my favorite games ever, I should probably try it at some point. But some reviewers I trust were pretty ho-hum on it, and pointed to some serious flaws. This from Jim Sterling: At times, The Evil Within comes off as simply...

I think everyone pretty much expects that the name change will happen in the finale. Especially after what's just happened. It's funny, I get the feeling that most people (myself included) thought that Jimmy would let Chuck down in some way and that's what would cause their rift, but then the...

It was a good episode. What a sucker punch. And the Mike stuff with the two others mercs was hilarious. Can't wait to see the finale.

Wow, cool finale. Lots going on. Very poetic with Rick doing the execution at the end at Deanna's request. I'm happy that they didn't do a total BS cliffhanger like last season... just a fairly small one. It actually felt quite conclusive all-around. My worry is the same as Cy's...

Hah, that sucks. I did find it interesting that in this game when you don't meet a weapon's requirements, you just can't use it at all, since of course in the Souls games not having the stats for a weapon simply meant that you took a massive damage penalty while using it, and probably swung it...

Well, I'm heading to a medical procedure in about 10 minutes that will leave me pretty well zonked-out for the rest of the day due to sedatives, but I can give some early thoughts. It is a Souls game in all but name. The big gameplay difference is that there are no shields, which makes the...

Bloodborne is certainly rocking the review scores so far. The review embargo was lifted 83 minutes ago, and so far it's got a 93 on Metacritic based on 28 reviews. If it maintains that score, it will beat all but three games on current-gen consoles: Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XONE), The Last of...

PSA: There's a PSN flash sale going on through tomorrow morning that's discounting many games to $1 or less: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pay-less-than-1-in-new-ps4-ps3-vita-flash-sale/1100-6426065/ I'd recommend picking up Tokyo Jungle, Katamari Damacy, and Dead Nation (all for PS3...

Goriest episode in quite a while. Those two views of people getting eaten were intense. Loved the turnstile as a concept. Loved Eugene finally showing some cojones. Love the tension they've got set up with the search team (did they take the second guy back after knocking him out, or did they...

It was clumsy but funny. I guess that's what they were going for, a little dark humor. But yeah, she keeps talking about "getting to be invisible again," and what she did with the kid probably wasn't the best way to go about it. Then again, I guess she must have thought that nothing less...

Okay, FWIW, I had stopped watching for a while since the first two episodes after the mid-season break were so terrible. But I just shotgunned the most recent three, and I think I like the arc they're doing now. It's kind of a different angle, making the main characters out to be somewhat...

Wow. That Mike episode was intense. And man, Jonathan Banks is great. When he starts talking, he's kind of mesmerizing. I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans these two get into together.

Me too. Very disappointed. The high point for me for the entire season was seeing FU playing The Stanley Parable. First two seasons were way way better.

I can certainly see them taking the angle of Saul winning the case, then changing his name just to be contrary, or changing it because of his brother, something like that.
