After finally tricking Netflix into sending me a proper disc, I’m nearly done with Last Exile. Disc 6 is brutal. They are starting to kill off characters at an alarming rate. Maestro Delphine is a very good villain. Almost too good. I hate her so bad that my enjoyment of this series is now directly linked to how badly she dies at the end.
Maestro Delphine: Not a nice person.
I’ve enjoyed this series so far, but all of that will be undone if she doesn’t die screaming.
Maestro Delphine: So very evil..
While waiting for her (hopefully brutal) death, I can continue to enjoy the incredible visuals. Integrating CGI with drawn visuals has always been clumsy, but this series has done a remarkable job of blending the two together.
Time for some screengrabs!
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
Crash Dot Com
Back in 1999, I rode the dot-com bubble. Got rich. Worked hard. Went crazy. Turned poor. It was fun.
Who Broke the In-Game Economy?
Why are RPG economies so bad? Why are shopkeepers so mercenary, why are the prices so crazy, and why do you always end up a gazillionaire by the end of the game? Can't we just have a sensible balanced economy?
Diablo III Retrospective
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.
The Best of 2017
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2017.
Man, I almost beat you! Having spent the last three days holed up watching Last Exile (and not loving it), I expect to have my own up sometime today or tomorrow.
She dies of an overdose in a cheap motel in Jersey City.
Sorry for spoiling it for you.
Last Exile was an awesome series. I just finished watching it myself! I hope you enjoyed it! And yes, Maestro Delphine is a really good villian, but I hate her as well. I thought her death was cool.
Last Exile was cool…
But they stole one of their characters from Witch Hunter Robin (we had watched the two at almost the same time…. so the comparison was obvious).
Amon worked better in the original show — why did we need an emo captain??
Maestro Delphine is very carismatic and fascinating for me, i love her asd
