Longmire had a Cheyenne advisor on-set and also went and cast a lot of Cheyenne actors and extras, too.

Fall of Cybertron is just straight up fantastic and I loved all the gimmicks for each level, like playing as Grimlock and smashing everything as a straight up melee dude, or playing as Optimus in that early level where you call in Metroplex’s artillery to gently caress poo poo up.

Quote-Unquote posted:There were quite a few times in House MD where video games being played realistically. Then in one of the later seasons there was a hilariously dumb bad CGI section that was supposed to be a VR game, and they used clips from that to represent all video games in the universe from that point on (it appeared as a lightgun game and played with a regular controller). Yeah, I’ve been watching House again since it’s on amazon prime and it’s great, they use poo poo like Metroid Fusion on GBA while he’s hiding from clinic duty and whatnot. The thing that’s aged badly for me is that CPR and ACLS (the poo poo you do for cardiac arrests) has changed since 2004, so I keep wanting to be like “WRONG!” even though it was accurate at the time.

It's recycling 20-40 year old Star Trek content in an extremely straightforward and sincere way (plus a few Family Guy gags), which is somehow incredibly appealing to certain kinds of viewers (and Seth McFarlane). I don’t even like trek but something about The Orville worked for me.

Other than that, it’s still the best police show ever made. ‘The Wire’ is not a “police show”, to forestall the inevitable comparison. I think the soundtrack aged great, trash nu-metal perfectly captures the characters of the Strike Team.

Araenna posted:I actually was going through old bookmarks and saw this site was down a few days ago. One of his reviews is how I figured out why my dad's urostomy bag was turning blue/purple. None of his doctors had any clue. Early on, House had some great medical staff and most, if not all, of the signs and symptoms were bang on for their organ system. Rare, but accurate. By S4 it had a an episode about “mirror syndrome” which has been observed a whopping one time. Which means the irl patient could have definitely been faking it. It is fun to watch with Wikipedia handy to look up what they’re talking about though.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Multiple personality disorder is in fact a thing that exists but it's now called dissociative identity disorder. The reason is that it isn't multiple distinct personalities but rather a fragmentation of a person's personality. The popular media view is the prevailing one that people believe; that it's effectively multiple people living in one head. In reality it's one personality that shattered, generally due to trauma, so parts of it turn on and off that makes it look like a person has multiple different personalities. That one’s also pretty controversial, most of the diagnoses are clustered around a really small amount of psychiatrists.

Araenna posted:It was due to some sort of bacteria interacting with the plastic of the bag. He had chronic infections due to having a catheter because of a stricture in his ureter. Taking the amount of Vicodin he took was pretty much slow suicide, though, if only because the APAP half of the pill is great at loving up your liver. They did some interesting stuff with his pain earlier on, though, like how the ketamine treatment he did after getting shot made it go away, albeit temporarily. Putting people in K-holes has been shown to actually do that.

Der Kyhe posted:I've said this before and know that it is probably impossible to write a cooler protagonist than Ezio, but when he showed up people on the wrong side of the stick ended up dead. Immediately. It doesn’t help that the prologue player character/villain of the game is competent and way, way cooler than Connor is. You get to do a cool theater assassination and then... 1700’s gym class while the game re-tutorials you for a few hours.

Samuringa posted:Christ. I hear a lot about that scene from IT, and I probably won't ever read it but I'd like to read about it; because King wrote it, that's fine, probably coked the gently caress out of his mind, but he sent to someone and that someone approved it, and someone else - probably multiple people - also thought that was ok to be printed and sold and at no point no one raised their hand and said "Isn't this incredibly non-sensically hosed up?" Off the top of my head, that happened with at least one of those scenes (the gun barrel butt-fuckin’), which was only present in the extended and uncut version.

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Two words: gunslinger FPSRPG Set it during the civil war that was going on during the Wizard and Glass flashback plot and I am so in. BiggerBoat posted:King is notorious for writing himself into corners because, by his own admission, he doesn't use outlines or plot notes. He just starts with an idea and GOES, wherever the story takes him until he gets tired of it and then brings in a monster from another dimension or some poo poo. I mostly enjoy his work and think he's a fine writer. His rythm, prose, pacing and dialect are usually very good and I think he loses points as a "serious writer" simply because he's very popular but the motherfucker can bang out very entertaining, highly readable stuff and works tirelessly. He also wrote The Long Walk, which is a fantastic book by pretty much any metric, when he was a freshman in college. Dude has talent.

rodbeard posted:I love all the super dated ripped from the headline episodes of SVU. They're fun little time capsules to whatever the hell random pop culture stuff they decided to roll up in to a single episode. The best is the one where Paula Deen shoots Trayvon Martin. SVU has always been a weird soap opera law and order, which is why it sucks it’s the last one standing. Classic and CI handled things a lot better. The 90’s episode where Classic had McCoy going after a gun company for a mass shooting comes to mind. E:I mean, I know they both went bonkers but Classic kept it together for like 18 years and CI at least had the dignity to stop after season 10.

Disenchanted is watchable. It’s a first season of a comedy show, those are rough even on great shows. I don’t think I’ve watched the first season of Always Sunny or Seinfeld a second time, and I’ve rewatched both of those shows a bunch over the years.

Torquemada posted:I was fine with it, it fits a very narrow niche of 80s pop culture, the idea that you could run away to the big city and a gang of punks who live in a graffiti covered warehouse full of pinball machines and neon lights could help you realise who you truly were while moody synthwave plays in the background is something I’d have been in love with in 1984 when I was thirteen. My problem with it was how it destroyed the pacing right at the end of the season. It had a lot of momentum and then.... bam, spend an episode in another city entirely.

Besesoth posted:It's all in collapsible "folders" now, so you can hide the anime/manga and ignore it completely if you want to. And if a section gets long enough, they split it out into its own page. The trope for when conventional armies take a crack at some kind of Godzilla monster without any effect is still called “five rounds rapid” after a line from a doctor who episode thirtysomething years ago that like eight people saw. They’re weird like that. Good for when I want a rundown of something that interests me enough to want spoilers but not enough to actually watch, though.
