RyoCaliente 06/24/24 5:45:41 PM #7 | Shows that aren't consistent with episode's runtime should be flayed btw.
55 mins, 66...how am I supposed to plan around this?! I can accept it for a finale or a premiere but come on... I definitely think this show has quality, but I feel like it's just missing something. I think it kinda has the problem that the vast majority of the characters are all tremendously unlikeable, not in an acting sense but just the way they are written. There's no easy person to root for like Ned or Tyrion or (at least early) Dany. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! https://www.backloggery.com/ryocaliente / https://www.backloggd.com/u/RyoCaliente/ |

I think that's why they've released Tales of the TARDIS, but yes, it's always a little bit iffy when DW goes deep into the backcatalog. Like it's cool for me, as someone who's watched Classic Who, and I can only imagine what it must've been like to watch 'Dalek' for the first time if you'd seen all of Classic Who, but yeahhh... There's definitely a sense that it is incredibly niche to go that far back, and it honestly makes it all the more confusing when you couple it with Disney+ and the naming of Season 1 etc. There was definitely a point where DW got criticized for not being linked enough with the classic show, so I just honestly feel that's a 'damned if you, damned if you don't' situation. Also RTD's track record for finales is pretty poor, so I don't feel too many ways about this. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! https://www.backloggery.com/ryocaliente / https://www.backloggd.com/u/RyoCaliente/ |

RyoCaliente 06/11/24 12:20:21 PM #55 | I don't need the full tactical Origins gameplay, but this looks REALLY bland from an action perspective. I mean, I guess it depends if all the flips and moves were actual inputs or just flair to your movement but just on the trailer it just looks like all the combat is just 'mash attack button' and move on. I mean, you apparently can't even change to your party members in combat?

It's not even anything Arsenal did late season that really lost them it. Sure they lost games and the ones to Aston Villa hurt but it was the end of December that really prevented them from winning the title. They took like 4 points over 5 games or something woeful. Rest of the season they were solid. I just don't really get this line of thinking, considering City finished only two points ahead of us. Yea, we messed up in December, but you could also say City made it this close by being a lot more shoddy in the first half of the season. I don't think either team was poor at any point in the season, it just came down to details. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! |

That was legitimately the worst performance from this team that I've seen since Arteta's first full season. City will look at that and know that it's over and that we've given up. I'm absolutely embarrassed and furious with them. A chance to put a proper hammering on the worst United side we've EVER seen and they go out and play like THAT? Disgusting. Get over yourself bro. Penultimate game of the season, away to Old Trafford (where Liverpool's run ended), and we WON. Only thing left to do is beg for Tottenham and/or West Ham to give us a hand. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! |

It started in Paris 06. Then they took Henry. Then in 2011, the Van Persie red card robbed us during a tie we were superior in. I despise Barca for a lot of the same reasons, but I don't really get 'taking Henry from us'. We were clearly at the end of a cycle, Henry was like 30 and wanted/needed a CL win, and I doubt he would've gotten it with us (but hey, that 08 team!!!). He'd won everything else with us, so I felt it was a somewhat logical step? It's why, out of all the mercs that left us, the only one I can kind of accept at this point is Cole; he was an invincible, had won everything (save that CL),... Much better than scum like Nasri or RvP who we babied for years in medbays and then he has one amazing season where he's not injured and he goes off. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! |

It's like you his are saying Saving Private Ryan couldn't be a good movie because it wasn't "fun" enough. I didn't need Rogue One to be fun, but I needed it to be at the very least interesting, which it never hits.

Super Metroid Final Fantasy VI Super Mario Kart First 3 are a lock imo, although FF VI could be swapped with IV considering IV is the prototype. After that it's a wildfire. Super Mario Kart is basically the OG Mario spin-off which paved the way for every kart, sport, and party game that came after in the Mario franchise. Yoshi's Island is pretty much the first succesful Mario spin-off if I'm not mistaken. Street Fighter II is Street Fighter II, probably equivalent to GoldenEye on the N64.
