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.

Fallout TV show – Episode 7 & 8 (Season 1 final)

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’s insufferable. I can tolerate maybe one or two witty jokes occasionally, but having every scene end this way is extremely grating. 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”.

Rauniot – Wasteland Finland

Welcome to the northern Finnish wasteland, survivor! A setting that even makes the first Fallout seem like a place of joyous happiness. Now, the Finnish people, along with the rest of the Nordics (trust me, I’m one myself) are not the most cheerful of people, especially not the ones from the cold frozen north. So, with that, you can expect a tale of utter misery and human suffering. This is not Grandpa’s fun 50s apocalypse, this is Ragnarök in pure Finnish melancholic – and I like it.

Fallout TV show – Episode 4 & 5

Wow. Episode 4 must have been directed, and had its script written by someone else than did the other 3 previous episodes, because this episode actually contained some tension. Another plus was the minimum of obnoxious Marvel-tier “comedy” writing. However, it still isn’t good, because as soon as episode 4 is over, the show goes back into its normal eternally ironic ways.
