[S6E9] Fun And Games
I write about TV shows like House Of The Dragon, The Witcher, The Rings Of Power, Stranger Things, Yellowjackets, Severance and many others. I also cover movies, video games, comic books and novels, largely in the fantasy, science-fiction, horror and superhero genres. Some of my favorite video games to play and write about include Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Call Of Duty, XCOM, Mass Effect, Titanfall, The Witcher and many other action, RPG and shooter games. My favorite films include Braveheart, Tropic Thunder, Arsenic and Old Lace, Schindler's List and far too many others to list here. I often discuss the \"pop culture wars\" and how shifting cultural values impact our art and entertainment. I prefer deep conversations and debate to shouting matches, and welcome readers from all walks of life and all religious and political backgrounds to join in this conversation. Thanks for reading!
[S6E9] Fun and Games
I'm also a contributor to Engadget. In addition to games, I cover tech, film, TV and the internet. My work has appeared on Tom's Guide, The Daily Dot, TechNewsWorld, The Daily Beast and Paste, among others.
Despite the title of this week's episode of Better Call Saul, we are no longer having fun and aren't playing games. While no one may have been killed this week, at least in the physical sense, it was a gut-wrenching climax to an episode and one that will stick with the audience for a long time.
10 also has a good story for me. The setting of a sort of continual apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic world is great, and the characters bring the strength of the setting out. It also has my favorite battle system of the games, using a speed system similar to Tactics rather than the mess of ATB. I also like Tidus.
All Final Fantasy games are bad games that have far too limited combat systems to be interesting. And most of the stories are ridiculously cringey. They give JRPGs a bad name. The card game in 8 was fun so it wins by default.
EO appeals to the more number crunchy crowd and has much better designed combat than FF, requiring some thought put into combat, rather than just spamming limit breaks over and over since bosses are immune to status effects in FF games and are really just highly cinematic damage sponges. 041b061a72
