  1. Wow! What a weird shot, I definitely thought it looked weird but just assumed it was a weird doll. Ray says something like "Do you see this?" and I don't remember his partner replying, so maybe this is meant to be somehow in Ray's head? On this being not a very good episode, I read a nice take on this being essentially a pilot, not a second season premiere. So Pizzolatto presumably had been mulling about Rust Cohle and Marty's story for a while before getting a chance to put it on screen. But this time he has to write an entire new TV series, characters, etc. without a writer's room to bounce ideas off, all in one year. Pilots are usually pretty hard to get right and he basically has to pull it off all over again. I'm happy that this exists as an experiment, even if I might not entirely enjoy it. I do hope it gets better, though, and the actors get better at pulling off these characters. There're a couple of really off-putting lines in this first episode and none of the actors were able to quite make them work the way McConaughey was in Season 1.

    Wait, why exactly 6 months?

    Ben, what these new graphics look like is PRETTY important. Also, whether or not they're recording a orchestra version of the soundtrack. All I new to know, Double Fone. All I need to know.. Edit: Also, a short "Making of" like they did for Grim! Yes, please.

    Jeez, stop giving Sony a break Twig. They didn't have any Day of the Tentacle Special Edition news, so obviously they dropped the ball BIG TIME. I'm disappointed in you, Twig. Extremely disappointed.
  6. It's worth mentioning that in true modern serialized TV fashion there were truly dedicated (obsessive) fans who dug deep into every little hint of mythology on forums and review comment sections, gathering all evidence into a giant lore poop trying to figure out Who Was The Yellow King?! No matter how vague and unspecific you are when talking about folklore, you can't prevent a certain kind of fan from over analyzing it and somehow turning your show into a crazy fantasy tale of monsters and magic! The Yellow King was a wizard!
  7. No Man's Sky

    Yeah, there's been combat before. This was *maybe* the first time they showed the player shooting on the ground of a planet?
  8. Gabe's interruptions were a welcome addition and this was a super good episode! :tup:
  9. Jurassic World: Wasting away in Margaritaville

    Oh, man what?! I *wish* we had theaters like that here. That looks comfy as hell!
  10. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    New Metroid Prime. New Metroid Prime. New Metroid Prime. New Metroid Prime... I'm going to be disappointed..
  11. DISHONORED 2: MISS HONORED

    Cara Ellison confirmed to be working on this game. Sold.
  12. Yessss! This is so good.
  13. Amateur Game Making Night

    Has anyone tried out the new multiplayer stuff in Unity 5.1 yet? Is it any good?
  14. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Erm... Good Game Autoblocker? Is that what the GG stands for there and not... well... GamerGate? EDIT: Huh.. Ok. It's Good Game Autoblocker, I guess! Did not know that.
  15. Silicon Valley

    I like it. It's definitely a bumpy ride, but when it's fun it's fun. When it's clunky and overly cute it's excruciatingly so. On a different note, Silicon Valley is fucking fantastic. The second season is much, much better than the first and I'm super excited about the upcoming finale! :tup:
  16. Splatoon is Ink-redible

    Yeah, that final boss is intense! Took me five tries and I almost gave up!
  17. The threat of Big Dog

    From the DARPA Robot Olympics: More *excellent* physical robot comedy here.
  18. Steam Box

    This is true.
  19. Splatoon is Ink-redible

    Try playing with the sensitivity, also. Higher sensitivity felt better to me, since that meant I only needed to tilt my hands slightly. But that might just make the nausea worse!
  20. Steam Box

    I immediately pre-ordered the Link and Controller. I'm the worst!
  21. Splatoon is Ink-redible

    Maybe.. you're just not.. fresh enough, Twig? Stay Freeeeeeeesh!
  22. Splatoon is Ink-redible

    I don't think the Pro Controller is supported in anything but the one on one local Battle Dojo? (Where there's no need for the super jump)
  23. Splatoon is Ink-redible

    You'd lose the ability to use the map to jump to teammates, which can be a huuuuuuge thing when the turf war gets tight! Re: Motion controls. I thought it was awkward at first, but then I switched it off and it was just awful! I don't know why, but it just felt much worse to me! Motion control all the way now.
  24. Splatoon is Ink-redible

    You make ZERO points if you lose!
  25. Twin Peaks Discussion

    Official canon from now on.
