The Game Awards are going to be poor this year...
Nice eyes.
@Stromboli1 This prosecutor is a big amateur. Whatever the truth, this guy did huge disservice to the prosecution. He's so incompetent that he could be used as an example of what "not to do" in law schools....
Political poison destroying justice again. The soycial "justice" warriors are the biggest enemies of justice. Once again, words don't mean what they should mean anymore...
Apparently, he's the assistant DA. His boss (the DA) passed the buck to him, because he knew this trial stank (he would've had the choice between opposing the radical left or attacking an innocent man). So, the boss let junior handle the case.... and Junior is a careerist who wants to suck up to the radical left. I guess that the vast majority of the champagne soycialists are careerists who don't believe one word they're saying.
The prosecutor in the Rittenhouse trial is a giant joke. This guy is on a political mission and he's really bad at his work. He trampled Rittenhouse's fundamental rights (like the right to remain silent), asked a witness to make a false statement, pointed a gun at the jurors and had his finger on the trigger (WTF? After the Baldwin thing, how dumb can he be...), said that having a firearm makes you "forfeit your right to self defence" (WTF!?), said that you got to get shot first to claim self defence, called the looters "heroes"... How can mediocre people like this become prosecutors?

Hollywood has become a huge pile of garbage.
Yep. The original music in the Netflix trailer was bad. Very bad. I'd even call it malpractice. That rap music in Netflix's version is what I'd have chosen for a parody.
Another shitty "feminist" series from shitty Hollywood. Same BS, same trash, same ideologues as usual. Rosamund Pike is going downhill. I think I'll pass on this bucket of puke.
@Cult Icon I wonder what was the development cost for DS3 or Elden Ring. I wanted to look for insights in FromSoftware financial statements or annual reports, but I couldn't find them in English or French (and I'm too lazy to keep searching) BTW, FromSoftware is a relatively small company. Their annual sales is about $50 Million, which is not much, and they're only 332 employees (but maybe they have lots of subcontractors). https://www.fromsoftware.jp/ww/company_about.html (EA has 10 000 employees and $6 billion annual sales, but their performance is not always very good - I hate EA's executives, BTW... EA's business model is despicable) This article tries to consolidate the costs of big games based on some insights, but it's not very professionally written: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop
I like Dragon Age Inquisition (that I'm playing at the moment) but I miss Soul's gameplay... again Any developer that aims to develop a medieval fantasy game (or any game with swords and shields) should draw from From Software's gameplay (or at least, if they want to develop their own thing, they should propose a challenging gameplay, not something where you can get away with spamming the attack button).
What do you think of the fact that they added infiltration in Elden Ring's gameplay? I have mixed feelings about this. Maybe it brings something new, but it doesn't feel right in a Souls game. I mean, Souls is about facing the enemy and kick his ass (or try and retry until you git gud enough).
They showed her ability to fight and it's good, but they never show her ability to rule. I guess she has a couple of ruler qualities, but her father is really a great ruler (though I prefer the Northern Kingdoms). Maybe she'd have had his qualities. Her father is too stern, but then again that's what their empire needed at the time. Would she have been a ruler of peace times after her father extended the empire? Maybe. In terms of storyline, this game is one of the best of the best. Hands down. I didn't really like the show either. Not just because the Witcher 3 is far superior (in terms of... everything). The Netflix show has some good sides: the visual effects are good (though cheap at some points) and some acting performances are fairly good (Yennefer, Mousesack, Calanthe and Geralt half of the time). The biggest problems of this show is that the storytelling is awful (the timeline is blurry, not well explained) and most of the characters are not well treated. You can see that the showrunner is smitten with Cavill, which makes her behave like a typical smitten woman: she idealises her main actor (Geralt) and belittles the other roles, who are stooges at best. Dandelion (Jaskier) is treated very badly. They made him a fool, a goofy character, while in the game, he's more complex: both excentric/braggart and at the same time compassionate (and not ridiculous). In the game, he's an artist, so of course he's "too much", but not in such a bad way. The show makes him the weakling that is supposed to make Geralt look better by contrast (we call that a "faire-valoir" in French). That's not the initial spirit of the character IMO. Yennefer is pretty good IMHO. They show her as a complex character (more likable than in the game, cause you see her hardships and her fights who seem fair). Cavill acts good half of the time. He's calm, assertive, nonchalant in his attitude. But his voice doesn't fit at all, it's too aggro and sometimes very condescending. Also, it sounds fake (which it is, it's not his natural voice). The game's voice is much better (much more detached/nonchalant and sure of himself without bragging). Also, as we already discussed, Cavill looks like a bodybuilder which is not how the Witcher should look. I don't like the fight scenes very much. Geralt's bragging in them with his weird grip. The Witcher should be a calm effective soldier, whose main goal is efficiency. Gerlat's gear look crappy too. The show's music is good (in season 1), not as good as the game, but it's good. However, I hate the music in Season 2's trailer. This rap track is awful and out of touch.
That's awful. This political poison is nasty. The media lie and make people crazy. Remember when they said "peaceful protests" while the city was burning behind them? Things begin to fall apart when words don't mean what they actually mean any more.
Natalia Vodianova is still among the best of the best.
Yep and they should also be held accountable if something happens to the judge. Did you see how the media attacked the judge because he berated the prosecutor (and rightly so)? This prosecutor denied Rittenhouse's right to remain silent (see this link) and he pressured a witness to alter a statement (see here). Political justice is poison. The judge is receiving death threats now... See here.
Ultra-moral ideologies often attract wolves in sheep's clothing. It's always good to beware of people that aggressively claim the moral high ground (doesn't mean they're always bad, but more often than not they are). Woke is a perfect cover: for a company to hide their shady business, for a politician to attract rage votes and for some crazies to hide their shortcomings.
