So the show was not really successful? Or what did happen?

I don't really know what happened - I don't think the ratings were particularly good (although I guess good enough to last 3 seasons). It's one of those shows though, that everyone who likes it generally loves it. But what I said before is perhaps part of the reason - that much of the story, characters and even jokes were really built up over each successive episode. I guess it wasn't all that accessible to people just coming in half way through the season

I see. I guess that many very good TV series end up because of this

Jennka! Been a while since I've seen you outside the realms of the Bregje thread

How are you?

Oh, I see. I only heard of it recently and I watched the 'meat' of it already. I never saw the first one so I plan on watching it later.

Do tell me what you think about it and how it compares to the first one. I'm impressed, but like in Bioshock 2- much of the best creative design work is done intermittently.

I like how the series models what a post-apocalyptic world could look like & how the people live. Before that, I only saw imagined seeing this through film (like Dr. Strangelove and 12 Monkeys).

^Just started playing Last Light last night actually

The first game was excellent - wonderfully atmospheric and immersive (Y)

I'm a few hours into it now. Couldn't really say if it's better or worse than its predecessor - it's pretty on par, and feels like a seamless continuation (which it's supposed to be). The first game really shined at creating a palpable atmosphere and believable world, both in the populated stations and the lonely areas in between. In fact I'd say it was perhaps the best realisation of a real 'lived in' world I'd seen prior to Bioshock Infinite, although obviously much more claustrophobic and smaller in scale. I really like the design of the weapons too - they feel really tactile and a little rough around the edges.

The first game was based off a novel too, if you didn't know.. although I haven't read it.

Sir! Do you have time to watch Aliens, Star Wars Episode IV and the Matrix in just 3 minutes? Sounds impossible? Take a look below, they have revolutionized the movie going experience

OMG these are amazing

^My goodness, that's ridiculously awesome.

How are you?

I knoooow, I was totally flushed up because of work, and I did not have energy to post anything else than just useless pictures or senseless posts. Brain-washed.

We usually have more free-time during summer (almost no trade-fairs and exhibitions) but this year we´re going to have this Nissan event that consumes all our time and energy

Thus my absence. I need to manage my time more carefully now, I really missed BZ

how are you, donny? Anything new? Or old?

whow, your list!! It´s genius!!

OMG these are amazing

Epic movie line-up eh? Question now is, which movie should they speed shoot next?

Bregje pics are never useless

What happens at this Nissan event?

Nothing really new with me.. being consumed by work a little

The aliens are adorable

I hope he does more.. they're better than the 30 second bunnies ones. He should do a 3 minute epic of the LOTR trilogy

You know what, I'm on board with that idea! If it happens I owe you Marloes for the weekend

Have you made it to the Theater show? I think that's one of the peaks of the whole thing.

I checked out the first one and I think that the second one has better NPCs and settings. The first one is a bit 'too gray', and the 'civilization' isn't really fleshed out as intricately as the second one. Unfortunately, the metro town parts in both are too short.

Metro has strong dialogue. I like the humor and 'Russian-ness' that's embedded in Metro. It's a philosophical attitude that you can only otherwise get from seeing Russian films or understanding a little about their literature. Or having a Russian person explain it to you.

So much of Deus Ex - Human Revolution's story has become blurry in my mind but I do remember replaying a certain sequence four times just so I could save my crashed pilot.

^ Oh my!

I'd like to pluck my absolute favs here from above but when one has trouble doing so can we just say we love them all equally? Although I do have a slight leaning towards Shanina anytime she is paying with water

And you forgot 2 sir donbit

Somewhat surprising event to win your second gold metal in .

Of course, despite said milestone, it seems she was still outshined by some other woman named Michelle Jennele or something (who I didn't even see despite being an Olympics fanatic) for some little dance that got edited into a bunch of gifs and such.

Don, who's the first girl?

I was also gifted Rising Storm recently. Haven't tried it yet, though.
