  • Okay. It’s not “Q” weird, but that is absolutely a weird episode. The whole “speaking in metaphors” thing is sort of a ridiculous concept as you’d have to have a language in place to even develop the metaphors. I loved how “out there” that episode is, and it is genuinely thought provoking, but if that was the first episode that I ever saw, I’m not sure I ever would have watched another one.

    But I do like the concept of checking it out given a single episode. I’d rather recommend Season 5, Episode 18 (Cause and Effect), Season 2’s The Measure of Man.









  • XCOM: Original allows for insane strategy. It’s dated, I don’t disagree, but it had so much more strategy and immersion than atleasr the first modern XCOM. You could build your own bases, you got raided, you had to find enemy bases and maintain funding throughout world map. The game was legendary.

    One of the most fun being, use flight armor and 2x alien grenade launchers. Breach top most point on battleship to expose command center, and then nuke the ship commander and body guards with second launcher. Swoop in with forces. Win.

    Ignore the LoZ. I forgot it was PC games only. Whoops lol


  • Thanks!

    Also, that list is terrible. Where the fuck is Elden Ring, Polygon!? No LoZ, any of them? XCOM: UFO Defense is the first and the absolute best of all XCOM entries…by far.

    Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Subnautica? These aren’t even old games…

    And Satisfactory beat out Factorio? Lol, m’kay Polygon…sure.
