'plenty of books and lore'? halo was a shitty console game with some hastily tacked-on merchandise.

never ceases to amaze me when star wars and halo nerds get upset about their 'intellectual property'. guys, it's not a norse saga. shit was made to shift units in gamestops. stop talking about the halo 'canon'. it's a fucking puddle deep analogue joystick shooter. stop chewing rocks.

Stop being an elitist snob with literature.

The original game was to my recollection released ahead of schedule to sell Xboxes, and it showed. It really tells you a lot about the franchise's origins, and there have been a lot of subsequent complaints about rushed products and even rereleases (along with the usual fanboy defenses of course).

If they were making a Larry Niven's Ringworld show with respect towards the series and its author, then I might be more interested. It's mostly as zeek said: a Halo tv show is going to pretty much be merchandise, who cares.

Two games at more or less the same time featuring the moon Deimos, huh.

Reading as I type this, and there it is. Comparisons with Doom. Funny that it doesn't talk about Mac magazines triumphantly boasting Marathon over Quake '96, I wonder why. Anyway that's just how the articles and ads were back then, shit-talk. Anyone remember the stuff for Daikatana? Marathon looks like a very good game for the time. Haven't played, my Mac gaming days were behind me at that point.

Mods have since proven that free-look is possible in Doom (e: Doom 2 pushed the limits of what was reasonable to put in a game without free look; some outright leap of faith stuff there), but of course it looks funky the higher or lower you can look. Maybe with some more sprites showing proper angle it could have been done, but you'd need triple the amount for every enemy and Doom took enough resources as it was.

MC is a literal player-insert meat puppet. So ill-suited for a screenplay that alterations needed to be made.

Imagine a Far Cry tv show. By the end of season 1, the main character will be covered in bandages and splints.

I watched Ted Lasso because everyone raved about it and I'm easily influenced. It was ok.

I'm pretty much done with Netflix as well. They create compelling shows but the delay between seasons makes me not enjoy them. By the time a new season comes out I have to rewatch the previous season to remember what's going on.

The bits and pieces I have seen of the Boys are really cool. It is hard to commit to watching a show though. I don't have 20 hours to roast in front of a television.

It is called doing research and analysis

The porn subreddit is me protecting sex workers and at risk communities.

The whole thing is morbidly fascinating. Years ago, if I criticized GoT I'd hear no end of it (from you, most likely). Now, hating on the series and spinoffs is expected.

It was passable at best until around I'd say season 3, when it noticeably began to fall off. Anyone who thinks it was good until the last two seasons was and probably still is in denial.

The finale sounded like a game show of arbitrary eliminations. The zombies should have won and then in a twist nobody would expect, turn Westeros into a republic.

I have no plans to watch the last season. I don't really feel like I'm missing out.

Invincible is probably more violent if you need to choose between the two, but The Boys has more runtime.
