  1. If I'm a paranoid pessimist, this two-parter was a watercooler moment. Honestly, it made me find y'all and tell you to make sure not to miss it, and I'm sure that I'm not the only person to find lapsed, indifferent, or I'll-catch-up-later friends and make sure they check in. 

     

    The measured ratings show an increase in viewership from part one to part two, and I know that doesn't count streamers like me. By putting it prior to the season finale, it increases interest and possible viewership, making it more likely Fox doesnt pull a Fox and send it to die. 

     

    I'm sure I'm overthinking. 

  2. Spoiler

    Holy cow, that space battle was fucking intense. I like how the Krill now view the union's actions as the will of Avis, and may evaluate them more positively, even if only as instruments of their god's will. 

     

    Of course Isaac is still with the crew, but it didn't come at no cost to him, and it looks to be less 'business as usual' and more 'second chance,'  which is great.

     

    Though honestly, if he's had those head guns this entire time he probably shouldve used em before. 

     

  3. I like this show on the whole, but episodes like this week's can feel like a round of star trek trivia where you try to spot the star trek episode being referenced. I honestly don't know if the show will survive without its own worldbuilding. I feel like i know more about the kril than the union.

     

    I'm hearing the ratings are keeping the show on the bubble. It has enough promise that I'd hate if it gets canned.

    I don't think they're exclusive - they ported the first one over to the Wii - and I'm pretty sure Dead Rising is also on PS4. Is the latest one exclusive?

     

    Both three and four have been microsoft produced and exclusive.

  5. The software they showed at their presentation helped soften the unknown of the new hardware, even if that new hardware is basically the incestuous lovechild of the systems that came before it.

     

    By and large, i think they'll last around two more failures. The wiiu may not have sold well, but it's not as though the market sees itself flooded with unsold skus, and more of their exclusives sold to expectations than didnt, even if nothing approached system seller status.

     

    My impression of nintendo remains that of "sensible innovators," where they take the chances they want to without going too far down the deep end. If your question is meant to ask "will this be its last system or its second to last system," my highly opinionated gut says neither.

  6. We could spend our lives waiting for those what ifs. In the meantimes, the ten and unders will get better than me at splatoon.

     

    I agree with cowboy. Neon that doesnt match hurts my brain.
