No way Link Between Worlds is better than Link To The Past. All the dungeon design was dumbed down and oversimplified, too much handholding was added, and the rental mechanic makes no sense. The portrait stuff is cool and they made a few good tweaks but a few good tweaks don't make out for boring ov...

I hope Dave's list includes Shin Megami Tensei. So many gamers who like Japanese RPGs and grew up on Final Fantasy but have never experienced the glory that is Atlus. It's been releasing must-buys two or three times a year and Square hasn't released a particularly good RPG since FFIX. :D Then again ...

Another possible theory is that you've watched through Star Trek far more often than Stargate in your life, so you know Trek too well to enjoy it as much as something you haven't watched through as many times. I marathoned TNG through VHS tapes constantly in high school and college and now it's hard...

You were enjoying it halfway through the first season? I don't remember it that well either, but I remember my feeling through the first season was "Ehhh.....no, it'll get better, I just have to keep watching." Freaking Voyager developed their minor characters better than Enterprise. At le...

Yeah, Ezri wasn't nearly as good as Jadzia, but she wasn't the reason the writing went downhill. There's no In The Pale Moonlight or Starship Down. There's gimmicky ones like the 10,000 Vic Fontaine episodes or the baseball episode. It seems they fell back on the kind of gimmickry that made for the ...

Wow. You sir, are the first person I've ever met who likes Enterprise. They spent the first season in decontamination saunas because, you know, if you don't sit half naked in a steamy room for a few hours you might infect the crew. Then Trip got headaches and Phlox prescribed Vulcan Erotic Headache ...

Between TNG and DS9 I could go either way. I'm more inclined to watch DS9 now because it ideologically aged better and is an obvious trailblazer for Battlestar Galactica, but I power-watched TNG tapes all through college. I might say, TNG has the few greatest individual episodes and greatest charact...

Yeah, I agree. Voyager had a pretty weak overall vision but it had a lot of really strong (And a lot of horrible) individual episodes and a pretty strong overall cast. Besides some of the worst individual episodes in Trek (Threshold, Fair Haven, etc), the major problem with Voyager was the refusal o...

The materia system was pretty weak too. All it accomplished was to make it so you never had to specialize and could easily make all characters jacks of all trades, which reduced all combat to 'spam your highest damage attack and heal when low on HP'. And if you think FFXIII is just 'Press A to win',...

XII was an average game, but games that came out after FFVII, through Square, that are way better than FFVII:

Final Fantasy Tactics
Xenogears
FFIX

And that's not even counting all the Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile games that were developed by Tri Ace but published by Square Enix.

It really depends on the context. There's definitely a statute of limitations of like a year or two for being able to casually talk about things without worrying about collateral spoilage, but if you know somebody is watching or reading something for the first time you should try not to spoil it for...

Here's my thought. Popular, awesome: Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Mass Effect Popular, awful: Twilight, reality shows, Nickelback Unpopular, awesome: The Turin Horse, Tales games, Anais Mitchell Unpopular, awful: That show whose name I can't remember, that movie whose name I can't remember, that vi...

I'm with Greg on this one. No reason to stop wearing nice looking clothes just because the state of fashion has moved on.

I totally understand missing comics because of an infant, but I could do without the comics yelling that you're missing comics because you have an infant.
