    Netflix announces deal to buy WB and HBO

    Me neither. The anime shows that are on Amazon natively seem to be at least competently titled. On the other hand they've faced recent controversy for trying to add AI dubbing to a couple of shows. I haven't watched any anime on Prime in over six months, but it still defaults me to Japanese...

    Netflix announces deal to buy WB and HBO

    Works for some services (I too subscribe to Paramount+ through Prime when they have new Star Trek on), but not for others. I tried subscribing to Crunchyroll through them, and the things they do to subtitles (on shows that are perfectly well subbed on Crunchyroll directly mind you) are just...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Ohh, that's why there was a heart on my pillow when I woke up. Had a hell of a time trying to give it away, though.

    They've gotta make the most of it, since dwarves can only take a short rest.

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    And if you're still not sure whether it was a cover, load up the original on YouTube or your app of choice to do a side-by-side comparison. That way you'll know for sure whether you're out.

    They can be pretty rewarding. I've played most of the way through as Lae'zel (got bogged down somewhere in the last act, which seems to be the fate of half of my playthroughs) and that was very satisfying. Yeah, same. I'm basically just debating going the quiet route of isolating some of the...

    General video game discussion

    I'm currently playing as Shadowheart, reskinned as a paladin. In the goblin camp at the moment, currently about to kick things off with Halsin's rescue, have been kind-of putting it off as that's going to be a lot of big fights.

    Though there are certainly ways to make them feel worse. In games with mouse-and-keyboard control the classic one is to make the NPCs move faster than your character's walking pace, but slower than your running pace, ensuring you have to stop-and-start no matter what. Fortunately less of an...

    General video game discussion

    To some extent it was just showing off that they could do it. Up until the likes of Half Life, the default assumption was that you didn't do cut scenes within the game engine itself because those graphics just weren't up to the task of portraying expressive and individual characters. As...

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    Certainly I've heard that people clipping anything muppet-related, e.g. for reaction videos, tend to get copyright claimed particularly aggressively.

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    There are a few Tom Jones songs I've had that with, because the mood of the song is really at odds with the lyrics. Delilah, It's Not Unusual, to name a couple.

    Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

    I can't remember ever not being uncomfortable with that one. Kinda want to hear the 30-second non-icky version. "I really must go." "Okay, but it's cold outside. Should I call you a cab?"

    That's why we go with roast potatoes for UK Christmas turkey dinner.

    That's an old favourite for me. I like it when a song tells a story.

    Ravenloft, the Movie

    And how do we answer that question? Pretty much any concept can be a good movie. One of the best movies of the year is called K-Pop Demon Hunters. So sure, it could be a good movie. Or a terrible movie. Or anything in between.
