I appreciate the topic title very much! There's a definite distinction between Season 6 & series finale. The final episode is pretty solid; it's the entire season leading up which sucks balls.

i feel quite the reverse!

torn between 1 and 2. it's like a 2.5 to 3.5/10.

the flash-sideways was enjoyable to watch at first, but when the mystery behind it was revealed, it felt... a lot weaker. i like the concept of it more in hindsight, but some of the stuff that actually went down didn't really make sense from a character perspective/kinda sucked. for all the "it's about the characters" stuff, a lot of those beats missed.

and the actual finale was really bad.

that said, there were lots of really cool episodes throughout the season (intermingled with some awful ones), as is pretty much always the case. so i went with a 2 in the end.

this is one of my absolute favorite tropes

"mystery spot" in supernatural is arguably its best episode

liked palm springs recently

among other stuff listed in this topic, majora's mask is one of my favorite games ever, and i loved higurashi (the anime) too. steins;gate is also fun, though is that really a time loop? IIRC from okabe's POV time progresses relatively linearly, right?

went with 3

epilogue was poorly written but a good sendoff

something feels missing about this book as it left behind hogwarts

reading the above replies - i loved a lot of these adventures outside hogwarts, but we were able to get a lot of adventures outside hogwarts in previous books as well

not saying the book should have been set at hogwarts. it was just a bit sad.

no. interested, but also put off of it, like i am with like tolstoy, but the length. the descriptions of the book as reader-unfriendly also give me no incentive to try - too much else to read.

the essay collection consider the lobster is amazing though. the guy was a brilliant writer and a brilliant mind. really opened up my way of thinking.

there's a lot of fat they could have trimmed at the end and when I rewatch it now I pretty much watch until Aragorn is crowned and turn it off >_>. Everyone bowing to the hobbits is the perfect ending but then there's another 20 minutes

banananor posted...
at the time i had complaints about how long and sappy the finale was, but on rewatch it's excellent

but, then again, i enjoyed plowing through the entire extended cut trilogy in one weekend

so yeah, i think i agree with both of these comments - when i watched it in theaters for the first time the extended endings had me going "what the fuck" - but now that i'm rewatching 12 hours anyway, i don't mind taking the extra time to say goodbye and hanging out a little longer in middle earth, even if it's not like cinematically exciting

significantly worse than i'd hoped, slightly better than i'd feared

as with the case with every matrix movie the stuff inside the matrix was way better than the tedium outside of it

definitely relied heavily on fanservice. i'm... kind of okay with that since it's been so long, but it offered too little interesting new stuff. it sucks bringing back old characters and then having to recast them

we needed to spend a lot more time with this version of trinity for her to get this sort of character arc. but turning the movie into a live story first was very iffy anyway

the action sequences, especially the climactic ones, were mostly just bad, sadly.

favorite part of the movie by far was neo"s new matrix purgatory and trying to figure out what the hell was going on, even if it leaned a little too meta

yeah, i agree with this

also the fact kay makes edgeworth a better person is kind of useful as a story tool, but didn't really make her much of a character. a charismatic dog could have that effect. i do like kay well enough though.

lost ruins of arnak is pretty interesting - the cards you buy go to the bottom of your deck, so they're coming up sooner... which is good, because you really don't cycle your deck much. meaning the deck-building aspect isn't big.

honestly the worker placement, like everdell, isn't big, either. there are like 15 spots to send workers and you only have two (!) per round. so the competition isn't that fierce there. many of your turns will not involve placing a worker or playing a card at all; you'll just be spending resources to move up tracks and collect bonuses or whatever.

if you like "trade resources for better resources" games and mechanics as i've described though, it can be pretty satisfying!

In the more mid-weight range (slightly below Agricola territory):

- If you play with 3-5 then I very strongly recommend Hansa Teutonica, a tactical route-building game with just a tinge of area control. Highly interactive without being too mean. (On the lighter side of this, Ticket to Ride is also nice.)

- If you play with 2-3 a lot then I highly second Castles of Burgundy, where the two dice you roll on your turn determine the options you get to do. Get to build a pretty estate and make clever combos that will make your two actions per turn feel stronger.

- Concordia is a beautiful, smooth game that's fun and satisfying from the first go - building trading posts across the Mediterranean to generate (and spend) five different resources. Mostly you'll be doing your own thing, but the crux of it involves positive player interaction, similar to the way you gain resources via dice in Settlers of Catan.

- I'd also look into Keyflower, which combines auctions with worker placement; your workers are also the resources you use to bid. Major hybrid mechanics with a delicious mix.

- Among co-ops and deck-builders, definitely give Aeon's End a go. The theme of mages fighting a nemesis is pretty generic, but the way it forces you to be tactical about fighting upfront threats while also prepping to take down the ultimate boss is great. The four nemeses in the base game also play quite differently - can be very addictive. Has lots of expansions.

---

On the light end:

- Magic Maze is a real-time cooperative where players together control four pawns and navigate them physically... except that instead of controlling one pawn, you control all four, and each player is restricted to moving a pawn in one direction. Can be maddeningly fun.

Exciting talking about these - it's been two years since my last list so I think I may be doing another top games list again soon!
