Lack of interactive variety is what really dumbs down this game for me that's suppose to be all about immersive galactic exploration. Nothing is challenging in the harsh environments of space, everything feels easy and boring. With 70hrs in the "current" state of NMS the whole game just feels like a chore with the only driving factor for me to play is further the main storyline and spend time with the girlfriend. Even the latter is difficult since you can't technically do quests "together" but just "side by side" Exploration and combat is half baked with all planet and resource variety being superficial. They may look different but you do the same thing repeatedly to collect them and are basically reskins of each other. Despite varying creature designs all they do is wander around aimlessly and die in 5 seconds from a mining rifle. There are no stakes. There's 3 types of enemies in the entire universe. Floating sentinels, Quad sentinels and Walker sentinels. None of which take any effort to overcome, just a few shots from a decently upgraded pistol; again no stakes. The 3 species living in the universe have interesting cultural lore and history but outside of how they look they act the same in practical gameplay and are reduced to just reskins of each other. Base building might feel fun for the first 10 hours but once you've gotten a good idea of what's out there it really feels like an entire universe of filler content.

A workplace comedy of a MMORPG video game company. From the minds of Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney (Always Sunny in Philadelphia) with great actors involved like Danny Pudi (Community) and F.Murray Abraham. This show's got to be great, Right? Oof, no. MQRB isn't funny, the jokes constantly fall flat with the ones that work so far and few in-between. The writing just isn't clever and everything feels forced, like oh you must laugh at this because it's outlandish! Rather than utilizing and exploring the nuances of it's own premise it chooses to turn everything up to 11 and call it a day. There's also this contrive throw-away romantic subplot that only seems to exist for inclusivity? What is that. The only noteworthy bit was the standalone episode 5, a take on LaLaLand with Video Games creators starring Jake Johnson (New Girl) and Cristin Milioti (How I met your mother). Well directed, written and acted; why not more of that with some laughs? I don't understand how this show could be so mediocre with so many talented people involved, huge missed opportunity and another L for Gamers.

I read a lot of Marvel titles and a few Batman comics back in 2014 and friends were recommending Invincible to me left and right but I never picked it up. So when a series was announced I had to give it a shot and whoa, I'm glad to see it with fresh eyes! It's not gimmicky (well, maybe the gore) just a straight up solid teen superhero story that takes place in a DC-esque universe. I feel the coming-of-age themes are too familiar but they’re accentuated by a "real" perspective on the superhero genre and these compliment each other in bringing a fresh narrative. The Season 1 finale is a knockout, excited to see what's next! Recommend if you like supernatural coming-of-age shows, double if you're into the superhero genre.

As a U.C. Gundam fan, it's also very hard to recommend anything from the franchise cause Newtype ideas are always so out there and the direction and writing dated as hell with over dramatic space-opera-war shennanigans and characters crying and whining about suffering all day... It's exhausting and even embarassing to get into. That being said, Narrative is actually... relatively good? Sure Zoltan was a half baked villain but everything else about the film echoed a lot of U.C. themes in a good way. Would recommend for any U.C. fan to be honest. I think I enjoyed the protagonists more than Banagher from Unicorn.
