Yeah, as I know I've said previously, I really didn't like the first Assassin's Creed, and I liked the second one only enough to finish it once. I didn't buy the third one, but I just started playing Black Flag two days ago and I'm liking it pretty well. The ship stuff really adds to it. I...

I think that Daryl and Merle were the best characters in the series through the first three seasons -- certainly as a pair. They fed off one another and made each other much stronger characters than either could be alone. But after Merle finally ate it, Daryl has become a lot less interesting...

I love James Cromwell. He's so seldom in leading roles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv_Rl0CBPNs

I ended up finding these two movies on Netflix under the "critically acclaimed" category and really liked them both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdDSqgZ87fM

Not a great final episode, although I think the resolution was fine. I was getting tired of the over-the-top villains like the Governor and friggin' evil cannibals. The hostage exchange at the hospital went down in a believable way and got screwed up in a believable way, and there were no...

Well, it just so happened that Amazon was offering Dragon Age for $45 today only -- a Cyber Monday Gold Box deal. I just noticed about five minutes ago, and about fifteen minutes before the deal ended. So, uh, yeah... now I have that too. :)

Cool, sounds like I'll just have to play it on the higher difficulty...

I heard that it was maybe a little too easy on standard difficulty, and that it's easy to end up way overleveled for certain areas/missions. But I'm looking forward to playing it eventually. Everyone seems to like it.

Um, wow. So after buying a PS4 with six games, I just discovered that my brother bought me a Wii U as well... and I'm gonna have another six games for it: Bayonetta 2, Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate, Super Smash Bros. Wii U, Super Mario Cart 8, Super Mario 3D World, and Nintendo Land. This is...

Glad you enjoyed it. I, too, often found myself grinning from ear to ear while playing Stanley. No other game has ever left me slack-jawed so many times, confused and delighted as I tried to figure out what the hell was going on on my computer screen.

I hear The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is pretty good.

Heavy Rain and L.A. Noire are the obvious answers. Both contain violence, but they're very much driven by mystery and story rather than by action.

Well, I've finally bought a PS4 and a bunch of games all from Amazon and joined the current console generation. It's been a year since the console's release and the games are finally there, plus there were some pretty decent Black Friday deals. First, I went ahead and got the PS4 bundled with...

Reminds me, has no one else on this board seen the movie Boyhood? It came out earlier this year, and did much the same thing as this YouTube video. The director cast a kid at six years old, and then they got the film crew together for a few weeks once a year for twelve years to shoot the film...

Reviews have been really good so far. I'll probably pick that one up.

Yeah, the group with the fake "scientist" was stupid and boring from the beginning. Glad they might all die now. Episode 6 is supposed to be about Daryl and Carol, that one should be better. Also, I really liked the hospital episode, looking forward to getting back there.

Fun season premiere last night. Carol had become my favorite character after last season, which made watching her go into mega-badass mode in this episode all the more enjoyable for me. And for those of you saying the show has been getting worse, I had said earlier that I thought season four...

FWIW, I've read the new Fitz book. My recommendation right now to anyone interested is probably to wait at least until all the books of the new trilogy are out, because the first one is pretty much entirely a set-up book. 90% of it is Fitz hanging around Withywoods. I still enjoyed it, but it...

Saw this thread and thought I'd break in with a fun chess story. The story is actually my dad's, from his college days at the University of Adelaide (Australia). Although my dad really wasn't much good at chess, he did enjoy it, so he went ahead and joined the chess team. Apparently the...
