| Topic | (Your) Top 10 most anticipated games for 2019 |
| Peridiam 12/26/18 12:17:41 PM #34 | 1. The Last of Us Part II (assuming) 2. Ori and the Will of the Wisps (also assuming) 3. ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove 4. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled I tend to get blindsided by games after they release, instead of looking forward to them in the months leading up to their release. For example, I'm currently playing through Starlink: Battle for Atlas, and have Nier: Automata, Pokemon Let's Go, and Forza Horizon 4 to play through, despite not anticipating any of their releases. The only games from the past year I was looking forward to were Smash and RDR2 (which I also need to play still). --- |

I've never been annoyed or rubbed the wrong way by Nick. He's decent, pretty good even. I almost feel he really is a mix of JT/Stephen. --- |

| Peridiam 12/16/18 1:49:43 AM #191 | Have you seen BB14 as well? Bear in mind, Wills BB2 game is very sloppy. I made a video just about his game that season so that I can eventually lead into a bigger discussion about the two. That said, Wills BB7 game is masterful. Im not sure Id call the winning game in BB10 all that sloppy, although I havent watched the season in a few years, so some details may be eluding me. Week 1 is definitely the low point, but thats Brians fault. From there on its pretty controlled at every point. People get mad at the winner quite often but the same happened to Will. The F7 veto roulette is a hot mess, Ill agree, but it does have several added benefits that dont seem obvious at face value. I do think that move is sloppy though (I briefly talk about it in my flashy moves vid). But then Will has the F4 blunder and while I havent gotten to that point yet in my BB7 rewatch, I cant say --- |

I know you're avidly on the Kara train, but I also remember Woo's edit being pieced together to create the winner when ultimately it was just a disfigured losing edit that came close to resembling the real thing. Edgic was all aboard that train by the end. --- |

| Topic | I don't get The Good Place and I need help |
| Peridiam 11/26/18 3:57:10 PM #10 | I dont expect the show to be grounded or realistic. Like Ive said, the humor is just a little too over the top, too forced. It has almost no subtlety. I get the jokes theyre going for, but the delivery, the timing, its all too manufactured. I guess others just dont feel the same. Im surprised not many others feel this way because I tend to find my opinions lining up with the average. My wife is British and she tells me this is the most American show weve watched together. She enjoys prodding me and using that as an insult, though she likes a lot of American TV. Tahani annoys her greatly, which is amusing from my perspective. Whenever a British/Aussie character pops up in American television, shes oftentimes thrown off because they tend to pander to American audiences in a cringy way. Tahani is a good example with her absurdly posh accent and mannerisms. My wife knows who she is IRL (some radio host) and has trouble accepting her acting ability. --- |

| Topic | I don't get The Good Place and I need help |
| Peridiam 11/26/18 5:43:33 AM #6 | To me, Nosedive felt intentionally forced. The characters felt alien and distant, but it was an effect of the technology. I was enamored with the premise. A lot of Black Mirror gives me that 'alien' vibe with its characters though. The Good Place feels like it's trying to be funny. It's over the top in its delivery, yeah, but nothing they say is very clever or smart. It has a compelling premise too - such as in EP4 with the 'favorite meal' at the dinner bit, but then it devolves into a scene about Jason being a monk with robotic dialogue on the side, Kristen Bell destroying a cake, etc. A sink hole opens and the dude is hanging on inside it and then we get this cheesy bit about his favorite soup being stored in the fridge. I get what they're trying to do here, but it's so obvious, in your face, and delivered like being read off a script. But it's like this with just about everything (so far)! --- |
| Topic | I don't get The Good Place and I need help |
| Peridiam 11/26/18 4:02:30 AM #1 | Its got rave reviews, I can barely find a dissenting opinion. I feel like Im going crazy trying to understand the appeal. This show is from the same guy who created P&R, yet Im 4 episodes into TGP and I havent laughed once. Not even once! WTF. I cant find whats good about it. I looooove P&R, possibly my favorite show. The creators Black Mirror episode is also one of my favorite BM episodes, if not my favorite. The guy can create excellence! My issues with TGP: - Everything is super corny. It feels like the shows dialogue is of a similar vein to fart jokes. Im trying to find the wit, the cleverness. Ive reasoned that the show isnt trying to be clever, but I also just dont see the humor, because... - The dialog feels forced, kinda hollow. More like actors reading their lines then being in-character. I dont believe them. Its like theyre aliens intending to be charming, but almost intentionally unfunny. Was that a joke? I ask myself. I think they were trying, but it was rather obvious and kinda flat that Im not sure. Forcefully over the top. Including Kristen Bell who is the outsider looking in within the plot. I was hoping she might give me a reprieve from the weird interactions between everyone else, but she might be the worst offender after 4 episodes. To those who like the show, what did you like about it through the first 4 episodes? What am I missing? I feel like Ive slipped into an alternate dimension where Ive lost a sense of humor, yet there I go rewatching P&R, The Office, Arrested Development, etc. being thoroughly amused. --- |
