Re: Missing Star Trek

VOY: Inside man gives me the youtube version, but the dailymotion version says "page not found" for me.

I tried it in both Chrome and Firefox, on a Windows 10 desktop.

Re: Escaflowne: Eternal Love

Escaflowne was one of my first major anime. Even though the ending is abrupt, I somehow always sort of liked it? It's one of the things that drew me to anime, that sometimes, like in the real world, things just end, you don't get your "satisfying conclusion." And I guess as a high school girl at the...

Re: VOY - Drive

The comment about not being able to make more torpedoes really hit home for me when Voyager uses one as a starter gun. Kind of like using a tomahawk missile as a starter gun for a yacht race. Maybe it was getting close to it's use-by date. Ha ha, that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the to...

Re: Star Trek: Into Darkness

I'm just catching up on this review today. I liked the first ST movie well enough, but like Chuck I didn't really like this one. I kinda-sorta dug the homages when I watched it, but It just didn't have enough substance. There wasn't enough background between Kirk and Spock for a death of either of t...

Re: Dragon Age II: EA boogaloo

I. LOVE. Hawke. And I even love that she never seems to have an impact on the shit sandwich that is Kirkwall. It's not that "this is how it is in the real world" is the excuse. It's that, "Kirkwall and the Mage/Templar situation in general had gotten so bad that even a certified badass with world-ch...

Re: Hermit's Journey Part III

Despite Lucas' love of bathroom humor, he still didn't get why naming a character "Dooku" was terrible.

Re: Hermit's Journey Part III

I thought the failure of the prequel trilogy had more to do with the loss of master editor Marcia Lucas than the personal changes in George himself. Though I do think that George himself had at least one change of heart that ruined his potential vision: he spent far too much film time on special eff...

Re: Dragon Age II: EA boogaloo

In contrast, when you play DA:I as melee, you spend half of all fights running after targets who can back up infinitely (meaning only ranged can hit them). Melee rogue is perhaps the most enjoyable class in DA2. In DAI it's an unplayable class. I switched every one of my rogues to archers. I had to...

Re: Dragon Age II: EA boogaloo

It's been a while since I played both, but what exactly was different about DA2's combat system from Inquisition? I don't recall. DA2 is by far the best DA combat system. In general terms: The combat has tons of visual interest and is simply fun to play. Probably the biggest improvement over the ot...
