Nice twist on the season finale for The Good Place.

And for the semi-politics related.. Ian McKellen and his placard on the Women's March in London.

Also the LGBT pages the Government had up.

Sad to hear Miguel Ferrer has passed away. I guess 2016 hasn't quite left us yet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVESMxs4rbA

Hm, and White Wolf have announced that there's a Werewolf The Apocalpyse computer game coming. There's a base website that is purely the front cover and no details beyond it being for pc and console. http://www.werewolf-videogame.com/

I really don't think there's a one size fits all for this question. It can really depend on the type and style of the main quest, the nature of the world you're exploring, the way side-quests are handled along with the way of exploring the world and the lore presented to you. Too many different things can come together to make a good rpg feel drawn out or too short and missing depth. Edit: Also on consideration, one other aspect to complicate matters - A game can feel perfectly lengthy (or not) for your first playthrough, but then on later attempts at playing it, that perception can shift when you have to drag yourself through certain content to explore other areas.

Good Omens mini-series will come to Amazon and the BBC in 2018

I have friends who wouldn't have been able to get the medicine their kids need if not for Obamacare. So without knowing and living the joys of the American Health Care system myself, they've always been damned grateful that came into existence. Edit: Also, his attempts to push science and get kids interested in science and engineering more. Which was in large part why he did the Mythbusters appearance and related things.

The Narrative of Normalisation

Got into an odd headspace and ended up starting that binge-rewatch of old Highlander episodes into the wee early hours of the morning. The amusement factor of watching a show that started in 1992/93, so it has the rare blocky mobile phones with no texting, big hair on the women, a plethora of small "rat-tail" ponytails on the men, the fade out of the shoulder-pads on women's jackets, and characters that still go to the library to research things. It's still interesting the way they did that show. Half a season set in the USA, then the next half all shot in Paris. Plus impeccable use of flashbacks to cover time periods and great music. Not to forget the amount of names before they were famous (such as a very young Marion Cottilard), or former pop stars/lead singers turned occasional actors playing assorted Immortals.The likes of Roland Gift (Fine Young Cannibals), Joan Jett (The Runaways), Roger Daltrey (The Who), Gary Kemp (Spandeu Ballet).

Yes, that whole opening is great. The technical side and gameplay of the levels is pretty darn great throughout. The trouble is in the lack of storyline advancement - although to be fair, that might have been because I started in from the beginning episodes and had to wait months between releases. If you're coming at it fresh with it all there, it might be flowing better.

I was half tempted to put this in the funny things thread... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qBX4Cpp4Ek
