Manor Lords – Super Early Quick Impressions

Manor Lords, one of the biggest indie titles this year has just been released… in early access. Oh boy. I was expecting a full 1.0 release all the way up to the so-called grand opening, but apparently, the developer got cold feet or just felt bad about releasing it at this stage, because it’s truly spartan in content. There was a warning, after all, something about us gamers maybe expecting a bit too much. Never a good sign. Nonetheless, I decided to give the man 30 euros to see what the fuss was all about, and well…

Watch Dogs: Bad Blood [DLC] – Chicago Forever

You can leave Chicago, but Chicago never leaves you. In the DLC Bad Blood, you get more of Watch Dogs in every single way, but without Aiden Pearce as the protagonist. More of the same isn’t necessarily a bad thing – if you enjoy the gameplay and story, that is. So how does it fare, is it a worthwhile purchase and time investment? Well, let’s find out.

Here we are finally at the end. There isn’t much to say about episode 7 since it went full retard on the Marvel writing. If there was any attempt to slow down the “comedy” nature of the script, they quickly abandoned that idea as shown in this episode. It’s like every modern writer has graduated from the Joss Whedon school of writing.

It might actually turn your brain into sludge if exposed to too many movies written in this way. I might be repeating myself, but this show allows for zero tension. It’s like the creator of the show is scared of having the audience perceive any kind of feeling except childlike joy in its overabundance of nostalgia.

Fallout TV show – Episode 6

The only tolerable thing about this show is the ghoul, and that is because of the actor playing him. He was legendary in The Shield and does a good job here – with what he has been given. Other than that, crikey. I know, I know, hearing me complaining about the show is getting old, but what else can be said? Episode 4 could have been the start of something interesting, but now two episodes later, the show is truly back to being its old self, a nonsensical piece of oh-so-random “entertainment”.
