Peridiam 07/01/17 11:50:55 PM #296 | The Mana Sword posted... Finished The Genius. Dongmin is GOAT. He won a newbie season and went on to win the All-Star season against both winners, runner-ups, and third placers. The guy is a triple threat. Sangmin is better TV overall, imo, but his strategy often is 'all or nothing' and it's super flashy--but as we saw in S4 it sometimes just doesn't work. But when it does... it's the best. I find it amusing that Dongmin was one call away from being eliminated in S3 by Yeonjoo, and instead he went on to win, return, and win again. Kyunghoon is definitely the character with the strongest arc of all the seasons, though his loss at the finale really deflated it all. From a story perspective I figured - similar to you - that he needed to win to really make good on the 'Kingslayer' arc he was pushing all season. It's a bit of a shame he wasn't more likable though, because I was rooting for Dongmin going into the finale and was glad he won, but also kind of sad Kyunghoon just couldn't compete whatsoever. It felt like the Dongmin/Hyunmin F3 DM was the real finale -- and yeah, given the results of the finals, I wish it were. My season ranking is 4 > 3 > 1 > 2, though I was ecstatic when Sangmin won S2. Whereas I liked Hyunmin and Kyungran, I was so-so on Yohwan. I was accepting his crown after the first comp in the S2 finale, so to have Sangmin take it was amazing. But overall it's the weakest season. It's also easily one of my favorite shows, sometimes more than Survivor. Pound-for-pound it's definitely a better show, but then there's 30+ seasons of Survivor to stack up against. I would love 30+ seasons of Genius. Glad you liked it! Go go S5! :D --- |
Topic | How do decide which games to buy/play? |
Peridiam 07/01/17 10:25:17 PM #6 | For any system I buy a game I'm hyped for on some level. I don't get hyped too often though, which means I don't go on crazy sprees ala Steam sales. If a game is out and I've wanted it, I'll buy it. If I don't know enough about the game I'll check out reviews, maybe gameplay vids, general context of the game/developer and go from there. --- |

Topic | I don't know how people live without cars. |
Peridiam 06/27/17 2:59:24 PM #39 | When I lived abroad, I learned that needing a car to get anywhere was quite an 'Americanism'. I mean, I kinda knew it's very commonplace in the US, but then going to another country for a few years and experiencing it firsthand put owning and requiring a car to get anywhere into perspective. I also love driving, but I also loved not needing to drive. Although it helped that Prague has an amazing metro and tram system - cheap, efficient, clean, and always on time. Definitely the best I've ever had to use. --- |

Peridiam 06/25/17 2:32:38 AM #189 | I'm listening to Rob's BB2 massive podcast and it's great. Really shines a light on Will's overall gameplay way back when. And his co-host Taran does a great job for his first time. I've always kind of aligned with Taran's views on BB (he loves Dan) so I'm not surprised. --- |

Peridiam 06/24/17 3:10:28 PM #123 | Kingdom Rush Frontiers is one of the best tower defense games, though TD isn't my kind of genre. Lara Croft Go is fun, a bit simple, just some nice casual puzzle solving. I 100%'d on iOS. Stardew is fantastic, I loved Harvest Moon as a kid and Stardew was more of the same but a lot better. I'm kinda waiting on the co-op before I get back into it. --- |

Peridiam 06/24/17 11:39:00 AM #1 | I'm wanting to get back into using my 3DS. I think the Layton games look pretty good - I like the idea of a series of little puzzles. It looks charming. Is the plot worthwhile? Should I try to get my hands on the first or could I start with the first 3DS one? --- |
Topic | Anyone watch Love on Netflix? |
Peridiam 06/23/17 6:42:52 PM #4 | My wife and I have watched both seasons, they're decent. I've liked it more than my wife. She didn't care for season two, mostly because she didn't like either of the main characters more that season, doesn't care what happens to them, prefers Gillian Jacobs as Britta (lol (we're also rewatching Community)), and finds Bertie's accent way too forced. But my wife is British and has lived in Sydney for a year... she has a cultural experience of being around Aussie's in a normal environment. I wouldn't care if the show keeps going. Though I do like it for the most part. --- |

Peridiam 06/22/17 10:31:51 AM #173 | Also S3 had surviving largely due to their own skill (and Yeonjoo's lack of confidence :-( ). S4 has a fantastic cast, as far as returning players go, they got basically all the staples. Sunggyu the only missing one but he was a pretty big catch anyway I wasn't surprised he didn't come back. --- |

Peridiam 06/19/17 10:38:16 PM #154 | You can immediately tell who's watched the show and who was only shown the past season. Saying your faves are Nicole, James, or Frank doesn't really cut it. Although nobody even brought up a player from before BB8. Which is fair, but still a little disappointing. --- |

I created this name 10 years in advance of meeting someone with a birthday in a specific month. I severely limited my playing field. ;) No, I just switched my username not long ago. Used to be Naomi_Diamond, which also incorporated my birthstone. The name "Naomi" was a practical joke that ended up sticking. --- |
