Yep. This is straight up way better than the book while still being true to it's essence. It retains Ennis derision of superheroes but does so in a far more mature and balanced way (which is kind of hilarious when you consider how silly this show is). I remember enjoying the book and then just burning out at how cliche Ennisy it became, I returned to it after a long hiatus spurred on by 2t's recommendation to go back and finish it. I did actually enjoy the books ending and Butcher's prequel, but the show is already far superior for me. I'm especially astounded these guys pulled it

Heard a rumor about this a few months ago when it was still called the "Steam Pal" and just thought it was one of those Valve projects that was tossed around and wasn't really going anywhere. The announcement absolutely blindsided me, and I got my reservation on one yesterday. This thing is going to be the ultimate backlog clearer / emulation powerhouse for me

Keith, so close according to google. I think any comic book buff will figure it out, of course coming to me after watching a few YouTube videos. Episode 5 in my opinion was a bit weak but they made up for it in 6. Btw the one who plays the part is really good.

What a horrible night to have a curse

I never made it through the Boys, not first time round, nor when I started re-reading it on my phone after watching the series. Ennis definitely lost his appeal around then. Seems like throughout his career he's had a pixie on each shoulder, one called Bathos and the other Pathos, each whispering in his ear, it seems at some point Bathos bit off Pathos' head and shat down his neck, and that's why we have the Ennis we have today. Preacher (the TV show) was alright, but the comic was great. None of the characters were quite what they were supposed to be, but Jesse himself was the greatest er

"1995 Bear Picture Nominees" While I like Forest Gump it's not even in the same ball park for me. Shawshank is incredible, but Pulp Fiction is a near perfect film, and for me takes the win.

I liked all three movies a lot. Now that I am an adult though, I feel uncomfortable with the gratuitous use of the N-word in Pulp Fiction. It is completely unnecessary to the story. I voted for Gump, but Shawshank is just as good. They both have a timeless quality to them.

I think in terms of pop culture impact, Pulp Fiction is the clear winner. The other 2 have had definite impacts on the 25 years that have followed it, but there's been so many nods, references and influences from Pulp Fiction its crazy. That said, I think Shawshank is the best film of the 3 for my money, but its bloody close.

yeahh wanna say yours was an old jax thing? it's high time, honestly

Yeah this is another one that's topped the source material for me. I remember loving the comic (though I never finished it, got up to #100 or so) but after being floored by how good the series was I was a little disappointed at how flat it felt. Now I've only reread the first arc and a half and I remember not being taken by the first arc back in the day as well. But the show just has way more character depth so far, while retaining all of it's mind boggling savagery. I cannot wait for season 2.

decided to start this after invincible (because i'm clearly in the mood for gore?) and so far, liking it more than the book - watching the team come together & butcher not have it all together feels more organic, plus the format allows for so much more vought evil/look at power levels etc. the jokes & gore definitely feel true to ennis, i'm maybe halfway though season 1 but i can already see how this is looking to be a much more faithful & interesting take than preacher was.

I still stand by mine if I'm being honest. I don't understand why Nick doesn't have "Big Nick Energy" as his though.

I hate that I'm gonna have to give EA money for this. But this reminds me to make a thread for The Callisto Protocol, which looks like a spiritual successor to Dead Space by the original game's creator.

Looking forward to this, even though I've only clocked ~1 hr into SMTIII - surely my cumulative 220+ hrs in Persona grants me something here.

I was legit looking for it the other day before remembering I lent it to you
