I just realized this is a 2 hour podcast. lol

Runs like absolute ass on my xbox one x, hurts my eyes+

I mean I took that whole Omen ad to be taking the piss. Maybe that's just me

Its not that the ending of Mass Effect 3 is so terrible (whole other discussion people can do better, but at the very least I believe it does a poor job of tying an overall theme together, which is what endings should do), its that they had no idea (and clearly still dont) of where the universe was going to go from there. No one asked what kind of place this setting would be if they had to make a game set 100 or even 2 years later. Part of the problem is that they put so little thought into the setting that any story can be explained by Reapers. Mysterious civilization? Reapers. Anderson's attempt at becoming a Spectre? Turns out its Reapers 1st contact war? Friggin Reapers(no really). They use Reapers so much that it makes exploring the galaxy boring and a waste of time(Which would probably be a good story point, but at this point I refuse to believe Bioware did it intentionally.

Dude, fuck this system... Jesus. This is the main reason I left PS4 and haven't played since. I had my ENTIRE account blocked out and lost several digital games all because there was an account hack and Sony wouldn't refund me so I went through my Credit Card company to get my money back. They of course just banned my account, but then I had lost more than the thief ever stole from my account. So that makes Sony a fucking thief as well. So fuck them. This whole "return policy" via the graces of the company is fucking dogshit. We need genuine LAWS for return policies and mandatory promises to quality such that if quality ISN'T met via advertising material they can and ARE sued for false advertising and refunds are guaranteed. Tired of this fucking garbage we call capitalism.

ME1 is my fav! I played it over 3 times. I didn't play the other's as much. Not sure why. I had a great time in the Mako rover on the planets. Unpopular opinion.

Maggie being more punk than cdpr is the sickest burn I have ever heard

Dead Rising Watchtower is a strangely faithful film that attempts quite valiantly to be canon. Sort of. 

Rob Riggle steals the show and we learn all about the Internet Movie Firearm Database. 

What a time!

The Spin-Off Doctors: Alone In The Dark 2

This awful movie about moderately giant ants looks at a SyFy Original and wishes it could be that funny... and it's not like SyFy Originals set a very high bar.

The Spin-Off Doctors: It Came From The Desert

Netflix is back with more Castlevania. Twice as long, and ever better, so let's get into it!

The Spin-Off Doctors: Castlevania Season 2

There was a very brief period of "nerds are cool now" in the late 2000s and early 2010s. We all got over it pretty quickly, but boy did it make for some poorly dated films. 

Anyway, here's a movie about a bad human being getting everything he wants.

The Spin-Off Doctors: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

They couldn't even be bothered to find a guy who actually looked like Hitler.
