As someone who made it all the way to the final season before dropping the show when they started pushing the Seven, Chakotay, Doctor love triangle, I can say that you didn't miss too much.

While there's the occasional good episode, I found the quality of the show to have only improved marginally over the seasons.

Having watched through DS9 first, it was clear that Voyager had the B team of writers.

Same here. Tried it once, didn't care for the pilot episode and lost interest. A couple years later, some people encouraged me to give it another try after hearing that I tend to love character dramas. I made it partway through season 2 before I stopped and realized this show just isn't for me.

The subject matter holds no interest to me, and the characters aren't likeable or compelling enough for me to get invested.

I can appreciate that Breaking Bad is a well made show, but I don't understand all the universal love it's garnered.

Season 1 is a pretty good show and is mostly faithful to the game. I would, however, recommend tempering any expectations before watching season 2.

While I wouldn't consider season 2 bad, they do ramp up the interpersonal drama and cut the game's story in half to make another season--which will focus on Abby's perspective from the 2nd game.

That's a valid point. I just remembered the pro-cop messaging feeling more overt in Rises, though it has been a while since I've seen them all.

I also have a soft spot for The Dark Knight because of Ledger's performance.

The Dark Knight Rises. Not only is it a bad Batman movie, it oddly has a pro cop message. Also, I can't take Bane seriously at all with that ridiculous voice.

As a fan of the original, I still haven't played Alan Wake 2 because I refuse to buy anything from the Epic Game store.

That being said, I also haven't played any of the farming sim games, though that's because they look incredibly boring--no offense to those who enjoy them, they're just not for me.

Yeah, the professor loses and regains the use of his legs on numerous occasions throughout the comics. It's pretty wild.

He originally becomes crippled after fighting his archenemy... Lucifer.

His body is later destroyed during the Claremont run, after it's transformed into a brood. His mind is recovered, however, and the Starjammers--with Dr. Moira Mactaggert's assistance--manage to clone him a new body. Though it takes him a while before he can use it due to psychological pain.

How dare you. FFVIII is a flawless game with a perfectly straightforward story and plot and limited grind.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a sorceress to defeat, right after I optimally junction all of my GFs.

Chicken wuss.

I'm not sure which option would result in a greater mug moment.

I'll still take the unlimited Mug root beer, though.

Wow, this title can't catch a break. Though given how little of the game the developers have shown off, this isn't too surprising honestly. I just hope this delay will be good for the game.
